Sean Patrick Maloney: “But 9 months and $300,000 later, no contested election has ever taken this long or gone this far in the history of this…”

“But 9 months and $300,000 later, no contested election has ever taken this long or gone this far in the history of this country. The gentlewoman from California, Ms. Loretta Sanchez, won the election fair and square. The Latinos and other citizens of Orange County spoke, and there are some in this House who would like to silence them. Mr. Chairman, the women and the Hispanics and the Democrats in this House will not tolerate the silencing of any man's or woman's vote. The gentleman from Maryland [Mr. Hoyer] was absolutely correct when he said this has gone too far. It is time to end this investigation. It is undemocratic. Vote against this rule.”
