Some basic, uniform election requirements for access for every state and every county across the country, I think would go a long way.

Voters get confused, and they see, hey, like lots of voters in Florida vote by mail. How do they have the results at 10:00 p.m. on election night?

It is really about access to resources, to Federal government resources to test those systems to make sure that those systems are not vulnerable.

the misinformation and disinformation, the allegations of voter fraud that is widespread, when in reality, it is rare.

Yes. I think -- I think the concern that these same officials are replaced by people who don't want to count voters' votes, who want to discredit the results of the elections that they themselves are running.

Well, the point of the threats is to terrorize, and it's to coerce.

I am a Republican, and I believe that counting votes in our democracy is a sacred responsibility.

No matter what our party affiliation, this is not okay. Let's be clear: this is domestic terrorism.

At the end of the day, we are counting eligible votes cast by voters. The controversy surrounding it is something I don't understand. It is people making accusations that we wouldn't count those votes or people are adding fraudulent votes…

This is the last speech that I will ever give in this House and it saddens me the way I have to leave, because we leave as a divided caucus and a divided House. The American public expects more from us, but the American public also expects…

Thank you, Congressman Tiberi, my great friend from central Ohio. I just want to say a few things today. First, I want to say good-bye, not just to this Chamber, but to the good friends who are leaving with me. Betty Sutton from northern…

I am honored today to have Reverend Ken Johnson as our guest chaplain. Too often, we don't recognize true heroes among us. But I want to tell you the story of Ken Johnson and Phil Fulton, two pastors in Adams County. You see, they believed…

Thank you for giving me 1 minute. I do want to celebrate the 20th anniversary, and I want to celebrate three pro-life advocates in my own hometown. The first is Archbishop Dennis Schnurr, who has been unequivocally in the forefront of this…

You know, I have heard a lot of debate back and forth, but my friends, this is not about ending abortion. Oh, how I wish it was. This is about ending late-term abortions in the District of Columbia because of the cruel way that those…

First in response to the good gentleman from the other side, article I, section 8, clause 17, called the District Clause, gives us authority for this bill. But I really want to point out why this bill is so important. One of the things…

I'd like to start tonight by continuing our discussion on conscience protections and our First Amendment rights. As I did yesterday during the press conference on the same topic, I'd like to read the First Amendment to our Constitution. It…

Today I really just want to say thank you to a young woman who for the last time in her legislative career as a Member of Congress will grace our presence this evening at the State of the Union, and I'm talking about my good friend, Gabby…

I thank my good friend from New Jersey (Mr. Smith). Your courage on this issue will not go unnoticed. I really, Mr. Speaker, wanted to talk to you tonight about a little girl, a little girl with a 2-inch foot and the lasting impression…

I thank you, and I thank you for your time because I know you've got a busy schedule and you've got those two adorable children that you want to throw some love to. And the best love that we can give to our children and our grandchildren…

You know, you're right. If I could go back a little bit, the local government that I represent, they have to ratchet back their revenue spending because their revenues are not what they used to be. The State that I represent, Ohio, they've…

And I thank you, my good friend, for that eloquent view and argument for the balanced budget amendment because we are at a crisis, we are at a threshold, we are at a fork in the road in our country. And if we don't get this spending under…

I thank you for your attention in this matter, and you're absolutely right. We've got to get control of the spending and get control of it now. It reminds me of when you're trying to go on a diet. And so if I'm trying to go on a diet back…

May I ask a question? When you do your bills, do you do what this lady is doing and balance your checkbook first? What would happen if you didn't do that?

I thank my good friend from Florida. As I said a moment ago, a balanced budget amendment will legally prevent us, tie our hands from spending more than we take in. It's the only method available to control spending in Washington, and it…

I thank my colleague from Kansas. And I couldn't agree with you more. The passage of a balanced budget amendment will legally prevent us from spending more than we take in. It is the only method guaranteed to control our spending. By…
