“I find it ironic the picture that is painted by the now minority in terms of this process. Would that someone who held a valid election certificate signed by the chief election officer of their State been allowed to be seated, the Democrats did not seat him. The Republicans honored the certificate of election. We do things differently than you do. You name-call. You argue that there is no fraud in this election and yet, based upon your minority report, you indicate that there were flaws in the election. You argue that the INS data is not sufficient for us to prove our point, but you use the same INS data to say that our point is invalid. You cannot have it both ways. I understand you are disappointed that you are no longer the majority and you can not continue to shut down questionable elections as you did for 40 years. But what this majority now will do on this case and in the future is to get to the bottom of problems in elections. One thing this House can do is thank Mr. Dornan because he looked at the Contested Election Act and said, it is a catch-22 if people can stonewall while trying to get to the bottom of it. It has been said on your side that you need to know the truth. The truth will set you free. What is wrong with trying to get to the bottom of what happened in an election? If you try to find out who the honest voters were, you are automatically a racist.”
