SEN. TED CRUZ: “This bill before the Senate, S1 or H.R.1, many of us are calling it the Corrupt Politicians Act, is in my view the most dangerous piece of legislation before the United States Congress.”
“There are two buckets of what the Democrats are trying to do. One is bad policy, things like massive new taxes, massive new spending, massive new regulations all of those That will hurt Americans across the country. But the second bucket is rigging the game, trying to change the rules so they never lose again. And the crown jewel of the rigging game proposal is the Corrupt Politicians Act.”
“This bill turns the Federal Election Commission into a partisan weapon to prosecute and sue Republicans. It gives Chuck Schumer a federal agency as an attack dog...that would give hundreds of million dollars to politicians. As you look at needy populations in America it's hard to think of a group more needing a federal fund than politicians. They can play their own expenses out of this. It's a massive Democratic power grab.”

“The number one priority of Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi is to stay in power for 100 years and to steal the rights of the voters to vote them out. I am leading the fight against this.”
Furthermore, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell both appeared at the "markup" session before the Senate Rules Committee, a rarity for committee meetings to consider bills.

In his statement, Schumer claimed that there was a reactionary effort by states to restrict voting rights, "led by one party and compelled by the most dishonest president in American history." Many Republican-controlled states have recently passed or are considering legislation to check voting rights, in the wake of former President Donald Trump's electoral loss and a rise in mail-in voting due to the coronavirus pandemic. Opponents insist such bills disproportionately affect minority and poorer voters, who tend to support the Democratic Party.

"In the wake of the 2020 elections, deemed the most secure in American history of the previous administration, former President Trump told a lie, a big lie, that the election was stolen," Schumer said. "In states across the country, Republican legislatures have seized on the big lie to restrict the franchise."
