If my majority colleagues will abandon denialism, conspiracy theories uprooted in fact, certainly untethered from this Committee's record that shows absolute dearth of legitimate reasons to contest the outcome of the 2020 election, then we can find common ground.

We are trying to make sure there are free and fair Federal elections.

What this bill says is we are going to have separate ballots.

I offer this amendment to strip away the provisions of the bill that would punish election administrators at a time they most need our support.

If you are going to have separate ballots and you are not going to have those ballots be the same, then the Federal Government's responsibility is less.

What it says is, is that if you are going to--and certainly the State and local governments are able to do that, but if you are going to allow noncitizens to vote in your local and State elections, that you have to keep separate rolls, and you have to have separate ballots if you have two elections going on at the same time.

We are just trimming it back a little bit and saying, We are going to pay the part that the Federal Government is invested in.

My straightforward amendment helps further the Federal voting assistance program's strategic plan to provide all servicemen and women the information that they need about the voting process.

I just think we are going a little too far with this.

D.C. voters are the perfect example of taxation without representation.

It is really unfortunate to hear my colleagues, on one hand, pretend to support voters and voter outreach and, on the other hand, oppress D.C. voters.
