EXCERPT:
WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: “This is about one thing, ensuring that it is much harder for people who are unlikely to go to the polls and vote for Republicans and that — making it much harder for them to cast their ballot. Putting obstacles in the path of people who simply want to exercise their right to vote, which is the most precious right we have, is absolutely abhorrent. I mean, we have IDs that are required in most states, but this legislation is singularly, and if you — if they listen to Donald Trump, they’re going to try to stop people from being able to vote by mail. I mean, that is essential function of ensuring that people have access to the franchise. And Trump wants to go back, and Republicans want to go back to people voting on one day and only allowing them to vote if they are, like with a doctor’s note, basically, and that they — you know, or they’re not going to be in their precinct. In Florida we had no excuse vote by mail for over 20 years. It works well. It works effectively. There’s zero evidence of fraud in its use. And it’s very obvious that Republicans, like their redistricting effort, just want to make sure that people who are going to come to the polls and vote for anyone other than them can’t do it.”
