In some recent cases. illegal immigrants and others not legally qualified to vote have registered and cast ballots. A number of bills have been introducod in this Congress to deal with this problem. Another bill to be considered under suspension. H R. 1428. while attempting to restore elecloral integrity. actually threatens to return us to a darker eia In our nalions history. when peoples voltng rights were frequently challenger or harrassed and their rights to cast ballots shall H.R. 1428 would allow local officials to chock the eligiblility of registered voters by submitting names from the voting rolls to the Immigration and Nationalization Service or the Social Security Administration. But how will the names be chosen? Will the Smiths. the Johnsons. and the Andersons be scrutinized. or will the effort of local officals be more fo. cused on lhe Singhs. the Marlinezes. and the Nguyens?
