In this day and age. it is shocking that we still do not verity U.S. citizenship when people vote. Motorvoter laws have allowed drivers license applicants to simply check a box to register to vote regardless of whether they are a U.S. citizen. This loophole has facilitated the many instances of noncitizen voting that I we have heard about today. While there may be disputes about the nature and extent of voter fraud. there can be no dispute that it occurs. In close elections even a small amount of fraud can affect the outcome. Do we really want foreigners to cast the deciding votes in our elections? When an illegal immigrant casts an illegal vote he does more than break the law. He is canceling out a legal vote and robbing Americans of our constitutional right to be heard in an election. The Federal Election Integrity Act that we are debating today can help restore integrity to our elections.
