Mr. Speaker, both sides had problems with the election. I think the number one thing that upset me was the dispatchment of hundreds of lawyers trying to disenfranchise our military from voting based on technicalities. I am also glad that this bill allows our military to vote on bases, because many of those young men and women cannot get off base for transportation. I want to thank both Members for this. I would also like to thank the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Ney) for during the anthrax scare on the Committee on House Administration, for his team working diligently with the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer) in correcting that.
