Speaker. I yield myself 1 minute to point out that in 1982 a New York grand jury reviewed widespread vote fraud charges in Kings County from 1968 to 1982 and observed: The advent of mailin registration in 1976 made the creation of bogus registration cards even easier and less subject to detection. * * * According to testimony. mailin registration has become the principal means of perpetrating election fraud and has apparently resulted in the abandonment of the pre1976 election fraud methods. Furthermore. a grand jury sitting in Chicago in 1982 said that easier election procedures entitled illegal aliens to register to vote so that they could obtain documents identifying themselves as U.S. citizens. And finally. the same was true in Florida in 1989. The Immigration and Naturalization Service. in reviewing a House special election in Florida. found that fully 11 percent of all ballots of those born out of the country were cast by noncitizens. I come from a State where election fraud has been rampant. It is part of the history of my State. and that is at a time when the election procedures were more complex. more rigorous than they are in this bill. I just happen to think that we are making the entire voting procedure subject to registration by noncitizenb and other ineligible individuals. and opening up voting by people who are ineligible.
