'Present any evidence': Jon Ossoff confronts Ted Cruz for lies about voter registration fraud

Democratic Senators Jeff Merkley (OR) and Jon Ossoff (GA) challenged Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Tuesday after he suggested that automatic voter registration leads to massive election fraud.

During a Senate Rules Committee hearing on Tuesday, Cruz offered an amendment that would make automatic voter registration more difficult.

"We have many states that have established automatic voter registration," Merkley told Cruz. "Do you have any studies you want to present for the record that document extensive mistakes being made, which people who are non-citizens are registered to vote?"

Merkley noted that the Brennan Center for Justice has studied automatic voter registration and found that you are "more likely to be struck by lightning" than find widespread fraud.

Chris Hayes showed a clip of Amy Klobuchar furiously lecturing Cruz about democracy. At first, I thought Cruz was looking down in shame, then realized--he was looking down at his phone while he scrolled through messages!
