Rep. Waters (D-CA) in Jan 2005 House debate objecting to OH's electoral votes:"There is no conceivable justification for disqualifying a vote for President or Senator on the count that a legally qualified voter shows up to cast his vote in the right state but the wrong precinct." https://twitter.com/CraigCaplan/status/1346818997480804352
Rep. Schakowsky (D-IL) in Jan 2005 House debate: "I join my colleagues today in objecting to the counting of Ohio’s electoral votes. I commend my colleagues in this House of the people and the Senate who are raising this objection for their courage, and I am proud to join them."
Schakowsky (D-IL):"There is little disagreement that irregularities did occur.The question is what are we going to do about it. It is simply not sufficient to tell the losers in this election to get over it,or to accuse them of sour grapes,or to say we are doing the best we can."
Schakowsky (D-IL): "It is our patriotic duty to stand up for every voter no matter his or her race or party affiliation and demand that Congress act to expand voter protection and guarantee voter rights."
Rep. Schakowsky (D-IL) concludes her January 6, 2005 House floor remarks in support of the Ohio electoral vote challenge: "This is our chance to demonstrate to our citizens and the world that Americans are constantly working to perfect our own democracy."
