Bryan Steil: “Pursue legislation that respects the Constitution and Federalism, such as legislation like the American Confidence in…”

“Pursue legislation that respects the Constitution and Federalism, such as legislation like the American Confidence in Elections Act that Ranking Member Davis introduced back in July to enhance the integrity in our elections. We heard earlier the majority leader mention that there is ambiguity in our election system and that is what this is about. If that is what this is about--if we are actually trying to remove the ambiguity in our election system, which is a very worthy cause, why not have a hearing on this bill? I haven't yet heard one person from the majority's side explain why this bill is being rushed to the floor 51 hours after the text was introduced without using the consideration of the Senate bill as the basis of this legislative text. I think that question needs to be answered today. We need to actually dive into what this bill does to actually allow the American people to have confidence in our election system. I remain disappointed the House did not take the thoughtful approach that the Senate takes, and I urge my colleagues to vote against the bill.”
