On the recordJune 25, 2019
To make a quick point, and then I want to move to my friend from Illinois. Madam Speaker, I don't argue about constitutional power, but I argue about process. Look, I seriously doubt my friends have spent very much time talking to election board secretaries and election administration officials around the country. Had they done so, they would have heard, I am sure, uniformly that they don't want a one-size-fits-all made system from Washington, D.C. They don't want to throw away equipment that they think is better than what we are offering them or that they have already invested millions of dollars in. They are happy to work with us. They are happy to inform us and testify. That is not what is happening here. This is the idea: all wisdom is in this Chamber, evidently, because it is not going to get through the Senate, it is not going to get signed by the President. We haven't talked to the people that actually are the front-line people in defending us in this process, and that is the folks at the State and the local level. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Rodney Davis).
