Many State officials have expressed concerns over election fraud under this bill. Governor Wilder of Virgina stated in a letter to Senator WARNER. a member of the Rules Committee. that S. 250 would "* * * open the door to fraudulent voting." Even the executive director of the D.C. Board of Elections. which currently has motorvoter. pointed out that S. 250. which registers all drivers license applicants unless they stipulate they do not want to. would open up the possibility of "inadvertently and routinely bringing on underaged drivers. noncitizens. nonresidents. felons. and other persons not qualified to vote." Not only is this bill financially burdensome on States. and probably useless in increasing turnout. it also may undermine the very integrity of the electoral process. For that reason alone. Members should vote against it.
