House Republicans introduce bill to repeal 'motor voter' law over fraud fears
The National Voter Registration Act was passed in 1993

EXCLUSIVE: A group of House Republicans on Friday introduced a bill to repeal the “motor voter law” -- which requires states to offer voter registration at vehicle licensing agencies -- out of fear that it can lead to voter fraud.
The 1993 National Voter Registration Act requires states to allow voters to register when applying for a drivers license or at some public assistance offices. Under the law, each license application must serve also as a voter registration application. It also updates any prior registration.
The Republicans, led by Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., raise concerns that the law also requires states to accept a signed form attesting that the voter is a U.S. citizen -- without any other proof. Reps. Scott Perry, R-Pa., Tom McClintock, R-Calif., Randy Weber, R-Texas, Mo Brooks, R-Ala., Debbie Lesko, R-Ariz., Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, Steve King, R-Iowa, Jeff Duncan, R-S.C., and Greg Steube, R-Fla. co-sponsored the legislation.
Biggs’ office gave the example of a situation in which Arizona law requires an individual to provide proof of citizenship -- but federal law gives them the opportunity to vote on a “federal-only” ballot -- which it claims is susceptible to fraud.
"This lax procedure, to register individuals to vote in states that have strict citizenship requirements for voter registration, is a threat to the integrity of our elections," Biggs said in a statement.
