Alan Simpson: “The concern my friend from Massachusetts expresses, and what he has pointed out as something disturbing to him…”

On the recordApril 24, 1996
The concern my friend from Massachusetts expresses, and what he has pointed out as something disturbing to him, certainly is not the intent of this author, especially with regard to motor voter. There may be some things that would have to be done here, because I believe in motor voter we had a criminal penalty when we passed that legislation. So I will just leave it in good faith, as we have done for 17 years, with the Senator from Massachusetts to work that out.
