As the Department of Justice concluded: Voter registration laws are one of the principal protections against election fraud. and any changes to registration requirements must take into account tile potential for increased fraud resulting from the changes. Many State officials have expressed concern over election fraud under this bill. Governor Wilder of Virginia stated In a letter to Senator WARNER that this bill would "open the door to fraudulent voting." Even the executive director of the D.C. Board of elections. which already has motorvoter registration. pointed out that this bill would open up the possibility of "inadvertently and routinely bringing on underaged drivers. noncitizens. nonresidents. felons. and other persons not qualified to vote." This bill also piles more responsibilities on the FEC. Mr. President. it took 4 years to audit campaigns from the 1988 Presidential election.
