Mike Lee says Democratic voter expansion bill was ‘written in hell by the devil himself’

Sen. Mike Lee slammed the H.R. 1 “For the People” bill introduced and passed by House Democrats that seeks to overhaul election laws.

“I think I disagree with every single word in H.R. 1, including the words ‘but,’ ‘and,’ and ‘the.’ Everything about this bill is rotten to the core,” the Utah Republican said. “This is a bill as if written in hell by the devil himself. This takes all sorts of decisions that the federal government really has no business making. It takes them away from the states, makes them right here in Washington, D.C., by Congress.”
