                      CONSTITUENTS ARE FRUSTRATED

  (Ms. SCANLON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)

  Ms. SCANLON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to share a letter to the 
editor from a constituent published this morning. Here is what he said:

  I worked the polls for 10 years, which included 20 elections and over 
25 hours of training. As the years passed, technology improved, 
training got more efficient, and communications were state of the art. 
I am so proud to be an American and contributing to our system of 
democracy.
       At my poll, five of us work together. There are also two 
     watchers from each party. The results are posted on the door 
     of the polling place immediately for residents to see. Votes 
     are checked against duplications and death certificates. We 
     have a paper ballot that can be matched to a voter machine. 
     The machines are not hooked up to the internet, preventing 
     interference and hacking.
       My heart breaks with every utterance of voter fraud. Please 
     don't let the GOP erode voting rights.
       Signed: Former Republican.

  I share this constituent's frustration. We are both fed up with 
people repeating lies about the security of our elections in order to 
justify voter suppression.
