Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I think my colleagues doth protest too much. I have read the bill many times. I have debated the bill. There is nothing in the bill that allows you to bring a marriage license to prove who you are when you register to vote. You will have to do all the things we suggest you will have to do, and that is exactly the problem. I will also remind my colleague and friend from Florida that in Mrs. Cammack's district, an estimated 170,000 women in her congressional district have a different name on their birth certificate than on their current photo ID and that roughly 409,000 residents of Florida's Third Congressional District lack a passport. The cost to those individuals: $53.1 million to secure passports. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from Alabama (Ms. Sewell), my dear friend and distinguished member of our committee and the ranking member of the Subcommittee on Elections of House Administration.

We all agree, ballot initiatives are a basic expression of our uniquely American expression of self-government.
