Jeff Merkley actually said...
The For the People Act is a culmination of years of careful work, countless studies, expert recommendations on the needs, the issues that need to be addressed to ensure every American access to the ballot box. Many of the provisions have been adopted in blue states, in red states, in purple states alike, and they are broadly popular with a majority of Americans, both Democrats and Republicans. You know, seeking to block groups of Americans from voting, it`s a crime against the freedom of Americans. It`s a crime against the rights of Americans. It`s an assault on the founding vision of our We, the People Constitution. To thwart such schemes, such plots, we need national election protection standards -- standards to protect the freedom of every American, the right of every American, to fully participate in guiding our nation.
