We didn't try to change the election rules so that Democrats could never be elected. The eyes of history are on you as well, and let me point out something, just a few years ago Republicans had control of the White House, the Senate and the House - we didn't do this. Senator Schumer said the eyes of history are on you. Senator Schumer said, I wrote this down, ‘The stench of oppression.' When Democrats drafted Jim Crow the last time, well, the stench of oppression is here again. It dilutes the legal votes of American citizens. That is the intended effect, and that would be the actual effect of this bill. "This legislation is profoundly dangerous and the reason is it suppresses millions of votes by allowing millions of people to vote illegally. I ask you for a moment, which Democrat on this committee would want a federal election committee controlled by Senator McConnell? The Federal Election Commission shouldn't be a partisan weapon designed to win elections. By the way, if this bill were to pass and miraculously Democrats were to lose power, this is designed to make it impossible for Democrats to lose power. The effect of that, I will point out, will be that every Republican senator and every Republican House member will be investigated, will be fined, will be prosecuted by the Federal Election Commission. Why? Because Democrats want Chuck Schumer in charge of the Federal Election Commission. "This bill turns the Federal Election Commission from a bipartisan agency, into a partisan agency - into a partisan agency controlled by Democrats. What does this bill do? It strikes down all 31 states, restrictions on ballot harvesting. Why? Because it is a corrupt practice where paid operatives handle the ballots of someone else, and it has repeatedly led to instances of stealing votes. Says it's illegal for any state to have a voter ID law, ballot harvesting, 31 states prohibit ballot harvesting. What does this legislation do? Strikes them all down. Twenty nine states have voter ID laws on the books. By the way, over 60 percent of African-Americans in this country support voter ID laws. Voter ID laws - over 70 percent of Americans support voter ID laws. "This legislation strikes down virtually every voter integrity law adopted at the state level. This would register vast numbers of criminals and felons to vote because Democrats have made the decisions that criminals and felons are likely to vote for Democrats. It is intended to do that because Democrats have made the decision that millions of illegal aliens voting are likely to vote for Democrats. This legislation would register millions of illegal aliens to vote - it is intended to do that. This legislation is designed to ensure that Democrats never lose another election. "Many of us are referring to this legislation as the ‘Corrupt Politicians Act' because it would do - Senator Schumer talked about politicians picking their constituents, that's what this legislation does. This legislation would disenfranchise millions of Americans. Well, today, the Democrats are doing it again, this legislation, to use a phrase that has been popularized on the media recently, is Jim Crow 2.0. Now, today's talking point repeated in the media is that was the Democrats of yesterday, not today. It is worth remembering that those Jim Crow laws were drafted by Democrats, they were implemented by Democrats, and they kept Democrats in power. And he's right, Jim Crow laws were bigoted, racist, and disenfranchised millions of people. You know, I listened to the speeches this morning, I listened to Senator Schumer's speech where he recounted this country's shameful history of Jim Crow laws. "This legislation, I believe, is the most radical legislation the Senate has considered in the nine years I've been here, and it is the most dangerous legislation pending before the United States Congress. is the Most Radical Legislation Pending Before the United States Congress bill, ‘The Corrupt Politicians Act,' and his 46 proposed amendments to protect election security. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today delivered opening remarks at the Senate Rules Committee meeting on the Democrats' radical S.1.
