Since enactment of the Motor Voter law. we have seen an increase in vote fraud across the country. Much of the increase is due to the provisions of the bill that prohibits States from removing registrants who fail to vote or who are unresponsive to voter registration correspondence. Because of the lack of fraud provisions in the Motor Voter law. "We have the modem worlds sloppiest electoral systems." according to political scientist Walter Dean Burnham. The yearlong investigation of the DornanSanchez House race established 624 "documented" cases of noncitizens voting. Another 124 voters cast improper absentee ballots. An additional 196 votes may well have been illegal. but only circumstantial evidence existed.
