Over 2 years ago, the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Hall) convinced me to travel to Sierra Leone with him. While there, we saw the terrible suffering of the civilian population that endured years of civil war which was funded by the diamond trade. We saw children as young as 2, this young girl here, with arms and legs chopped off.

We actually -- and I say we, Pennsylvania has a Republican majority in the Senate and the House and Republicans actually got together with me. And we put together in 2019 the most dramatic change in Pennsylvania's voting laws in 80 years.
All right now, what we're encouraging and urging everybody to do is if they haven't sent their ballot in yet walk it to the election officer or Dropbox, but do it in person.
This is - they own this now. And, I think, it's going to be a bad thing, for Republicans, everywhere, including, in Pennsylvania.
And if people want to protect these rights, and continue to protect them, they're going to have to continue to vote for people, who veto this kind of bad legislation.
