Curtailing voting rights by dishonestly inventing widespread fraud has been a major part of the Republican Party's political strategy for a while.

Americans are struck by lightning with greater frequency than they commit voter impersonation fraud, and that's the only kind of fraud that photo ID requirements could have any hope of preventing.

Trump is doing the country a disservice making things up about the integrity of our elections.

My wife is gorgeous and brilliant, and my son True is my best little buddy in the world.

I love this country, and I won't let losing an election force me away from the process.

To truly care about this country is to demonstrate that you care about her politics the same when you're winning as when you're losing.

Anyone can be something. Leaders want to do something.

Politics, as a profession, is not about making the right political decision. It's about making the right decision and then managing the political consequences.

Very few things in life are more fulfilling than being part of a team and knowing you're a part of something bigger than your own self-interest.

I launched more formal elections investigations than any secretary of state in Missouri history, and we didn't get a single complaint about voter impersonation fraud - not one.

We should be doing everything we can to make it as convenient as possible for eligible Americans to cast a ballot. People fought and died for the right to vote.

That's a compliment reserved only for politicians. You never hear someone say, 'You know what I love about my accountant? He's just a normal guy.' That's how low the bar is for people in politics.

He's like a bizarro me. One of us is working for good, and the other is Kris Kobach.

Voters are okay with you believing something they don't believe, as long as they think you genuinely believe it, and you believe it because you care about them.

If an election doesn't go your way, you don't get to call a do-over. Part of respecting our democracy is respecting the will of the voters.

The option to recall elected officials is an important one. Our representatives should always be mindful that they answer to their constituents, and if they act in malfeasance, their job may be on the line. But using the recall as a way to reverse the results of an election, or to hold a snap election, is simply undemocratic.

You don't get to recall a senator just because you don't like her or just because you want the seat for your own party.

With limited shifts, low wages, and scarce benefits, it feels almost impossible for many Americans to get their slice of the pie.

No one seriously believes that cutting the minimum wage is good for workers.

Unions continue to be important for raising the standard of living for working Americans, whether or not they happen to be in a union.

To improve the standard of living for working folks, we have to raise the minimum wage and empower workers to fight for their interests in an economic and political system that's stacked against them.

A lot of states that pass voter ID laws have little to no evidence of in-person voter impersonation fraud, which is the only kind of fraud that voter ID laws could guard against.

In order to change Washington, we're going to have to change the people that we send there.

Senator Blunt genuinely sees everything through the lens of partisan politics.

What we believe is that health care should be a right in this country; I happen to believe that means that we should be for single-payer.

A lot of millennials really want a company that signs their paycheck, or whoever it is that signs their paycheck, to be an entity that reflects to them in a way that is consistent with their personal idea of who they are.

I think that it's a good thing that you want to be part of making the world a better place, including between nine and five.

I believe that if you make it harder to vote, then we should make it harder for you to get reelected.

I got 220,000 votes from people who also voted for Donald Trump. I did not do that by pretending to be a conservative Democrat.

I didn't get into politics to play a character on TV.

Since winning the election, Donald Trump has jump-started voter suppression efforts at the federal and state levels.

The Democrats need to be confident about making their argument... and making sure that everybody knows we care about them.

Let America Vote will make the case for voting rights by exposing the real motivations of those who favor voter suppression laws.

I am a person who cares deeply about what is happening in the country, and for me, in most ways since getting out of the service, at least, politics has been the way in which I see myself best serving and trying to make things better.

This country is a place that you've got to stay invested in.

I obviously did not volunteer to go to Afghanistan solely to protect the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans.

For far too long, Congress has been focused on the CEOs, the millionaires, the billionaires.

We need Congress to do more than just engage in partisan games.

We have to be willing to engage ISIS militarily, economically, and even on the Internet without delay. For instance, I think we waited too long to engage al-Qaida and the Taliban in Pakistan. And we should not make a similar mistake with ISIS elements throughout the world.

I wasn't out there pretending I was a conservative Democrat. I'm somebody who has talked a lot about and has done the act of running as who you are.

Politicians never say never to anything.

If you're out there saying something that you don't personally believe, then it doesn't really matter if a voter agrees with what you're saying. If they don't believe that you believe it, then they're not going to listen to you anyway.

The military is a group of people that come together from different perspectives and backgrounds and places and get a job done because they have a mission.

If I had the opportunity to give President Trump any advice, and I had to boil it down to one thing, I suppose it would be that nobody ever got better at any job by blaming everybody else whenever anything goes wrong.

If you can get to know a person, and you can really understand them, it can usually help you better understand yourself and why you believe what you believe.

I'm that dude from the ad about background checks where I put a rifle together blindfolded.

Campaigning ain't tough.

Not everyone who goes to Washington becomes Washington.
