The Exon amendment was also a piss poor amendment in that it granted so many exceptions, it was useless. This also doesn’t show that Thompson co-supported a similar, competing amendment (that didn’t make it to vote because Exon was passed) that was worded the same but didn’t have the exceptions.
I haven’t looked into the Simpson amendment, but considering how the rest hacks up his quotes, and how they are using the debunked NumbersUSA votes, I have a feeling it would fall right in line with the others.
Thanks for this info.
