Rep. Crockett with a mic drop here

"I think what's striking about this is how afraid the other side of the aisle is of free and fair elections" -- AOC points out that what Republicans are really trying to do is make it harder for people to vote in one of the blackest cities of the country

Rep. Summer Lee: "We're not seeing the oversight on conservative areas. We're not seeing this oversight on majority white areas. So it must be that DC has over 45 percent of Black folks with a very suppressible vote."

"It is complete disinformation" -- Goldman points out that while there are no documented cases of voter fraud in DC, Republicans recently perpetrated a major voter fraud scheme in North Carolina

LaTURNER: Do you believe convicted felons should have the right to vote? WEISER: We do support restoration of voting rights upon completion of their time of incarceration L: Does that include convicted murders? W: That includes anyone who has been released from incarceration

Raskin: "The violent insurrection that took place on January 6 was the reflection of a sentiment that a white majority in the country can't lose a presidential election. And I think the legislation today proceeds on the same theory."

I have to tap out of the oversight hearing for now but let me work in a final plug for my newsletter. If you enjoy my coverage here, you'll like Public Notice, and paid subscribers make my work possible. Thank you.
