Senator Marshall’s Remarks as Prepared:

Madam President, Nancy Pelosi’s Power Grab Act lets the federal government take over our elections – which is clearly unconstitutional. Most Americans believe that ballot harvesting is wrought with fraud and wrong, and frankly dilutes your vote. This bill incentivizes ballot harvesting and in turn devalues your vote.

Most Americans believe that voter ID brings integrity to the election process – Kansas requires voter ID and its working. This bill takes integrity out of the election process.

Most Americans don’t want their tax dollars going to fund elections of the opposite party. And I can guarantee they don’t want to see more political attack ads funded with their hard-earned tax dollars.

Here’s what I’m for: I want to make it easier to vote, and harder to cheat. H.R. 1 just another unconstitutional power grab. Thank you Madam President. I yield the floor.
