    House Republicans introduce bill to repeal 'motor voter' law over fraud fears
    The National Voter Registration Act was passed in 1993
    By Adam Shaw | Fox News



    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.

    Seems someone needs to run for office - solely with a large agenda of things to fix in how our elections are ran. It may not all add up to changing the election - but the integrity has never been lower. Suitcases out from under desks? That's all it may take to "take" an election. Add in the other hundred on the list that needs fixing.
