James Lankford: “I want to ask my colleague if there is a difference between this resolution and the resolution on elections in Belarus…”

On the recordAugust 6, 2020
I want to ask my colleague if there is a difference between this resolution and the resolution on elections in Belarus that was filed last week, was discharged, and then passed on the hotline yesterday. Obviously there are lots of other issues about elections. There has been a lot of conversation that we have had about elections worldwide and about security of elections, but that particular resolution wasn't held up to go through the Foreign Relations Committee to discuss international elections more. It was discharged, and it was sent to the floor on a hotline, and Republicans and Democrats alike agreed on that resolution and passed it through. Is there a substantive difference between this resolution and that one?
