Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I am proud to cosponsor H.R. 794, which will reauthorize the Election Assistance Commission until 2022, provide payments to the States to upgrade the security of voter registration databases, and require an assessment of each State's voting systems. Foreign hackers targeted the voter registration databases in more than 20 States in 2016. Candidate Trump encouraged hackers to target his opponent. He won the election and continues to cozy up to Russia. And now, House Republics are moving to eliminate the EAC, a key force in combating foreign cybersecurity attacks against our democracy. ``What do you have to lose?'' candidate Trump asked. Try free and fair elections, Mr. Speaker. I urge my Republic colleagues to put country before party and stand up for American democracy. Stop trying to suppress minority voters. Support an independent commission to investigate Russian meddling in our election. ____________________”
