Citizen groups should not have to sue States to get them to release voter records to determine if they are cleaning rolls and the federal government should not have to monitor polling places to insure they verify ID’s. Voter records are public records and are supposed to be available for public review. States like California, New York, and other States that make it easy to vote, have been fighting attempts to review their voter rolls to verify eligibility. Past reviews have shown millions of illegal immigrants registered and millions of names still on the rolls of those who have died or moved out of State and are no longer eligible. Democrats have controlled California for years and have fought attempts to require ID verification at the polls as well as encouraging mail in voting. That allows plenty of opportunity for them to scan the rolls for those who aren’t going to vote, such as those who have died and those who moved out of State. They can then have those who are ineligible, vote using those names or to manufacture fake ballots. In a recent mayor election in Los Angeles, it has taken weeks since the election to count the ballots. It looked like the Republican candidate was ahead when suddenly a large number of ballots  mysteriously appeared. All of the ballots were for the Democrat candidates and put them ahead of the Republican candidate. None of the ballots were for the Republican candidate. It is statistically impossible. Out of a random selection of ballots, there should have been at least one vote for him since the polls showed he was the favored candidate. It has apparently taken them several weeks to manufacture enough fake ballots to eliminate the Republican candidate and they it appears that they were determined to keep counting until they succeeded.

Even with ID laws, it is not completely safe. Fake ID’s are easy to get and a lot of teens get them so they can buy beer and cigarettes. If a political party knows someone is registered but won’t vote, they can make fake ID’s using the names and addresses of registered voters for someone to pose as those people and vote in their place. By registering a lot of inner-city people who probably won’t vote, they have a goldmine of potential for fake ID’s.  If you have to vote where you live, someone will recognize if you come back to the same voting place several times using different names and ID’s but if you can vote by mail, on multiple days, or wherever you want, you can go to several different polling places or go on several days, and vote under different names without anyone realizing it, making it easier for a dishonest party to “stuff the ballot box” with fraudulent ballots. Most States today issue ID’s for those that don’t drive. Poor Blacks often get welfare and have to have ID’s to get it. As a result, voter ID laws do not provide a barrier to them voting, like they used to. It does require that people prove they are eligible to vote and are not trying to vote illegally. The most common fraud is when someone claims to be someone else who is registered but not likely to vote, either because they have died or because they moved out of State and are no longer eligible to vote in the State. Many States have laws requiring them to clean out voter registration lists and remove anyone who hasn’t voted in three years to eliminate those who have died or moved out of State so people can’t use those names to vote illegally, however that still leaves a window where someone can try to vote claiming they are someone who is already listed on the rolls, but is not likely to vote because they either died or moved out of State.

Democrats are fighting attempts  to enact or maintain voter ID laws saying they prevent people, particularly minorities from voting.  It is not strange that a large number of illegal immigrants are found on the voter registration rolls in States that allow online and mail registration since it doesn’t allow face to face verification of identity. It is also not surprising that many of them might vote in States that also do not require voter ID’s at the polls. Further problems arise when States allow registering at  driver’s license offices and do not verify citizenship before issuing driver’s licenses. Hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens are being allowed to stay in the U.S. and States like California are now allowing them to get driver’s licenses, so the potential for fraud is unimaginable. California recently enacted a law which will automatically register you to vote when you get a driver’s license or renew one unless you opt out. Since California also has enacted a law allowing people to get driver’s licenses without verifying citizenship, a review of the rolls show over four millions illegal immigrants were registered and over a million voted in the 2020 election. Pennsylvania also allows you to register to vote when you renew your driver’s license. A review of Pennsylvania’s voter roles have shown over 100,000 non-citizens registered to vote. There was no check to see how many have voted but it isn’t hard to think that a lot of them probably did since it is unlikely they would register to vote if they did not intend to vote, unless someone signed them up to vote, knowing they would not vote, so their names could be used to allow someone else to vote illegally. Voters should note those who voted against The Save Act and vote against them in the next time they come up for election.
