MailInVoter Registration is safe and effective. Dick Molpus. secretary of state of the State of Mississippi. And this one: That is why I have become increasingly disturbed over remarks made by some Republicans in Congress concerning the potential for noncitizens to register to vote under the provisions of H.R. 2. 1 am writing to you to dispel once and for all both the myths and the fears raised by those who simply dont understand the provisions of HR. 2. Because picture identification is an integral part of the motor voter system. the possibility of voter fraud is virtually eliminated. Also. there is a strong logal disincentive for noncitizens. both legal and illegal. to register to vote. In addition. the link between driver licensing and voter registration provides election officials with several new crosschecks and auditing tools not found in other systems. Our state has a significant population of noncitizens. After processing 230.000 voter registration transactions through our first year of motor voter. we have had no evidence of noncitizens registering to vote. As to the question of fraud with the other processes in H.R. 2. it Is imnortant to note that states which are currtntly utilizing agencybased or mail registratinn techniques simply have not experienced fraud. I began the quote saying. "I have become increasingly concerned over remarks made by some Republicans in Congress." This letter is from the secretary of state of Washington State.
