“Scott also urged the Republicans to force final congressional approval of the legislation requiring voter identification and proof of citizenship through either budget reconciliation or a talking filibuster.”
“I think it's on his heart to do right by the people of Pennsylvania with election integrity.”
“It sure appears the mail and stuff is where it makes it easier to commit fraud, especially like in California, where they just send ballots out to everybody and their brother, just in case you lose one, we'll give you two or three of them.”
“If you don't support voter ID, if you don't support requiring proof of citizenship to register vote, you support fraud. It's as simple as that. That's what these Democrats are doing. They support fraud.”
“We've got to do two things. We've got to fund homeland security. I want this place to be safe. That's number one. Number two is we've got to pass the Save America Act so we secure our election.”
“The only person doesn't want it is Democrat senators and Democrat House members because they know they can't win elections without cheaters.”
“There are other members of the U.S. Senate, including Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Senator Rick Scott, Mike Lee of Utah. They want to go further. They don't want to just stop at voter ID. They want to tighten the laws on mail-in ballots.”
“Scott, a majority of Democrats think Russia stole the election. You can talk about that. We'll try to get to the bottom of where Scott's getting his polling.”
“if you can't, you have to prove your citizen to register to vote and vote. Number two, we have voter ID.”
“It's really common sense. You and I don't get to vote in German elections or British elections. If you're not in this country legally and you're a citizen in this country, you don't get to vote nor.”
“I had the great, extraordinary opportunity to meet with both Senators Mike Lee and Senator Rick Scott. And I can tell you, each of those ferocious warriors are working tirelessly on behalf of the American people and to make sure that we have election integrity reform.”
“I can tell you I am urged my colleagues to... end the zombie filibuster and to force the Democrats to do an old-fashioned talking filibuster. And we have procedural tools that can make it far more painful for the Democrats to continue defending and facilitating voter fraud. And that's the case I'm trying to make to my colleagues. And right, voter fraud. We're going to eliminate voter fraud. We're going to eliminate the ability for anyone to ever cheat.”
