The reason I come to the floor today not retreating is because. regrettably. I think this is just another tactic by a very scared minority. the Democrats. political minority. who are trying to do their best to change the subject instead of changing America for the better or instead of changing the law for the better. The Los Angeles Times reported early on about this election that the corruption and the votebuying and the number of illegal aliens voting was so widespread that one of Mr. Dornans opponents. not Ms. SANCHEZ. but one of Mr. Dornans opponents. actually held a raffle for a car for illegal immigrants and told illegal immigrants that if they signed up for this raffle. all they had to do was vote. and the winner of this raffle would win a new car. And so the gentleman. the illegal immigrant that joined this. actually entered a raffle. voted illegally in the election. and then won a car because of it. according to Los Angeles Times reports. There have also been documented up to 350 to 400 illegal immigrants voting in this election. with the possibility of many more voting. but regrettably. because the Justice Department has not moved swiftly enough. this matter continues to drag out. But I guess what it highlighted to me was a continuing trend. and it was a trend to obstruct justice. politically obstruct justice. instead to seeing to it that the American people found out what was going on. and of course this is happening in campaign finance debates across Washington and across America. Every time somebody is charged with a new crime or a possible crime. or every time the news media comes out and attacks somebody for questionable behavior. they immediately turn around and try to change the subject.
