We should be celebrating that and looking for ways to build upon that success, but doing so at the State level, not looking for a Federal takeover of elections.

It is also incredibly misleading for a lot of folks who have continued to say 'you cannot have water, you cannot eat.'

Statehood is not the right way to do it. Retrocession is the right way to do it.

Most importantly, we have listened to the American people, Republicans and Democrats, to address the concerns about faith in our elections.

I would hope that everybody would vote no.

Let us ensure that it has the capacity to accomplish what it needs to accomplish and ensure fair elections that have integrity, and that is why I urge my colleagues to support this amendment.

I cannot fathom voting in support of this amendment. I would encourage a 'no' vote.

I will be opposing the amendment.

I actually think the analysis that we are trying to do... is really important.

I think we are entering silly land late in the evening. I will be voting against this amendment.

The empirical data here is showing that the ACE Act is needed.

The key here is getting it right.

Unlike Democrats' election bill last Congress, our ACE Act has gone through regular order and has been drafted in the open.

I think that to say that States are not permitted, what is the punishment if they do? I do not know.

This is a common-sense amendment, and I ask my colleagues to support it.

I think it is pretty rational to say that we can have photo ID in our Nation's capital.

The Government closest to the people is best to serve its needs, and our States are the ones who should be deciding specific policies, specific procedures and practices that they will implement and utilize.

If you vote for this amendment, my reading is, you are supportive of allowing non-citizens to vote in the Nation's capital.

Senate Bill 202 in Georgia came forward to actually cleanup the mess that Democrats in those counties had created.

I think, actually, what we saw as we traveled to Georgia on Monday of this week was a State that expanded voter access through the ACE Act.

I think there is some really good empirical data showing... that people have a better voting experience.

I oppose this amendment. I would encourage my friend and colleague from Alabama to encourage her State legislature to do exactly what Georgia did to ensure that it is easy to vote but it is hard to cheat.

I think it is broadly concerning to the American people when we see the appearance of political activity with Federal taxpayer dollars.

The American people demand more transparency and accountability in their Government, especially with respect to elections.

We are committed to a robust oversight of our Federal agencies to make sure we are protecting taxpayer dollars.
