The National Voting Rights Act, aka “Motor Voter Act,” is at the root of this problem. The NVRA was passed by a Democratic Congress… the 103rd Congress, which looked like this…
….and signed into law by yet another corrupt Democrat president, Bill Clinton.
Ostensibly, this was done to promote more participation in elections, and it no doubt did that. However, it made the process so easy and free of safeguards that it created a new class of voters: those who are ineligible to vote, yet do. That, coupled with an unprecedented level of immigration, both legal and illegal (open border/visa overstays) and limited by assigned quotas to almost exclusively from non English-speaking 3rd world countries made a powerful 1-2 punch against election integrity.
Lost in this discussion thus far, are those immigrants, again both legal and illegal, who are registered to vote at ALL offices, state and federal, that dispense mean-tested welfare benefits That is another way that ineligible persons find their way onto our voter rolls, and it remains a layer of the onion which has yet to be peeled. The few states that have tried to correct these problems by requiring evidence of citizenship to vote have been rebuked by the courts. The NVRA requires States to “accept and use” a uniform federal form to register voters for federal elections. 42 U. S. C. §1973gg–4(a)(1). That “Federal Form,” developed by the federal Election Assistance Commission (EAC), requires only that an applicant affirm that he is a citizen. In other words, it’s based on the honor system and some people (shock) are not honest.
Folks, we are in a lot of trouble. This election day, vote like there’s no tomorrow, because unless we overturn such ridiculous laws like the NVRA, there won’t be.
The problem, officials say, dates back to the 1993 federal Motor Voter Act, which requires states to offer residents the ability to register to vote when they obtain a driver’s license or ID card. In some states, the driver’s license and voter registration application are on the same form, and the applicant simply signs. In small print, the form says applicants acknowledge they are U.S. citizens. In other states, voter registration is a separate form and applicants check a box. In either case, once signed, the forms are automatically sent to the county or state registrar of voters, and the name is added to voter rolls.
