The BakerCarter commission had 21 members. 11 staff members. 25 academic advisors. 24 consulted experts in the field. two public hearings. advice from 22 witnesses. followed by three meetings and presentations spanning the country from LA to the District of Columbia. all of which produced a 104page report in encapsulating 87 detailed recommendations to improve elections. There have been plenty of hearings on this subject. The question is. on a measure which will guarantee that the number of illegals in America will continue to increase unless we are serious about border security. do we care about the franchise and diminishing the significance of the franchise of existing American citizens. We have engaged in a good discussion this morning on what this amendment does and does not do. It gives States the flexibility to design an identification to be shown at the polls to protect and secure the franchise of all U.S. citizens from ballots being cast illegally by nonU.S. citizens.
