“ Wisconsin has a long history of open, fair, and accurate elections because of the laws that our State has established and executed by 2,000 state and local officials, and countless volunteers, all who take their responsibility seriously with the highest form of honesty, integrity, fairness, and accuracy. What is being attempted here tonight is an attempt to invalidate 3.3 million valid Wisconsin votes merely because their preferred candidate didn’t win. But if they succeed, democracy dies and dictatorship reigns. ”

“ That’s why I rise today in defense of a pillar of our democracy—the right for a free and fair election decided by the will of the voters and, ultimately, respected and accepted by the losing candidate and their supporters. The other side can indulge in all the conspiracy theories they want, but when you involve the integrity of our elections in my home State of Wisconsin, well then I have a problem. In our federal system of government, the administration of elections are controlled by our States—not Congress. What happens in Wisconsin is up to Wisconsin—not Washington. ”
“ President Trump will not be successful this time, but next time when some authoritarian wannabe takes a run at our Constitution, all bets are off. We have a tendency in this Country to kick our Democracy around like it’s a football—it’s more like an egg, very fragile. ”
