ROMNEY: "I don't know of any evidence that voting by mail would increase voter fraud."
ROMNEY: "I've heard some people say they think that the reason the president doesn't want people to vote by mail is that polls show people who want to vote by mail tend to vote for Vice President Biden... so this is a political calculation. My own view is we want people to vote."
ROMNEY: "It is essential, in my view, for a nation which is the leading nation of democratic nations in the world, the leader of the free world, for us to show the elections can be held in a free and fair manner."
ROMNEY: "We should make every effort to assure that people who want to vote get the chance to vote, and that's more important even than the outcome of the vote. We have got to preserve the principle of democracy."

MANCHIN: "Respectfully, as I have said for months, I can’t support $3.5 trillion more in spending when we have already spent $5.4 trillion since last March. At some point, all of us, regardless of party must ask the simple question – how much is enough?"
MANCHIN: "Spending trillions more on new and expanded government programs, when we can’t even pay for the essential social programs, like Social Security and Medicare, is the definition of fiscal insanity."
MANCHIN: "Suggesting that spending trillions more will not have an impact on inflation ignores the everyday reality that America’s families continue pay an unavoidable inflation tax."
