Today, Rep. Ted Budd (R-NC) released the following statement expressing his strong opposition to H.R. 1:

"Our right to vote is among the most important rights we have as Americans. Protecting the integrity of our elections should be a major focus of this Congress. Unfortunately, Democrats are intent on further destroying trust in our elections by having the Washington swamp takeover of our right to vote. H.R. 1 eliminates voter ID laws, codifies widespread mail-in voting, nationalizes ballot harvesting, allows felons to vote, and allows politicians to receive taxpayer dollars to campaign. None of this addresses the concerns that millions of Americans still have following the 2020 election. H.R. 1 would make the chaos of the 2020 election the norm for all future elections. We cannot allow that to happen, and that is why I strongly oppose this bill."
