Quote of The Day: Rep. Rush Holt (D-NJ)

"I'd like to ask the opponents how much spending is too much to have verifiable elections in the United States. I note that many people who opposed this legislation supported spending almost $330 million in recent years to provide election assistance in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. I would have hoped those who supported efforts to export democracy abroad would be equally committed to strengthening democracy here at home."

- Rep. Rush Holt (D-NJ), in a statement regarding Emergency Assistance for Secure Elections Act (H.R. 5036), which was blocked by U.S. House Republicans. More here.
