‘Motor Voter Law’ has created widespread voter fraud

The act allows people to sign up to vote when they register for driver’s licenses.

A new report released by Accuracy In Media shows that McConnell’s worst fears about the law have come to pass.

The law has made it possible for groups like ACORN, Project Vote and other left-wing groups to overwhelm the system with fraudulent voter registrations.

“The Left seeks fundamental structural change to our entire form of government in keeping with their amoral, means-justifies-ends philosophy, that will register any voters, dead or alive, legal or illegal, who then vote as many times as possible, in order to establish a ‘permanent progressive majority’,” AIM writes in its report.

The strategy is simple. First you dupe low-income individuals by expanding the welfare state and making them dependent on government benefits, thus guaranteeing their vote for liberal-left candidates and portray them as “victims”.  The victim narrative encourages such individuals to be less inclined to report illegal activity.

According to the report, this plays into the left’s strategy of swamping election officials with an overwhelming number of last-minute voter registrations, with a huge proportion being fraudulent.

Then the large number of voter registrations makes verifying the registrations difficult, provides multiple opportunities for vote fraud and provides pretexts for lawsuits against election officials for “voter suppression”. This serves the Left’s goal of portraying America as an “oppressive”, racist nation.

This tactic has played out during the Obama era at the highest levels of government, with Attorney General Eric Holder suing states for implementing Voter ID laws, accusing them of “voter suppression”, and turning a blind eye to voter intimidation, as apparently happened in the 2008 New Black Panther case. Other voter intimidation cases were reported in Texas during the 2010 election cycle

As two New York Democrats recently told the police, “voter fraud is an accepted way of winning elections …”

The AIM report cites a Pew finding that as many as 24 million or approximately 12.5 percent of voter registrations are either invalid or inaccurate. These include 1.8 million deceased individuals and 2.75 million multiple-state registrations.

ACORN and its voter registration arm Project Vote have resorted to hiring low-skilled workers at low wages and to using incentive bonuses for reaching voter-registration quotas  to encourage them to register as many people as possible.

Many of these registrations have been bogus with names like “Donald Duck,” “Mickey Mouse,” “Tony Romo of the Dallas Cowboys,” etc. Matthew Vadum of the Capital Research Center found that some 400,000 of the registrations ACORN filed in 2008 were thrown out.

ACORN might have officially dissolved in 2010, but it continues under countless names in localities around the country.

Judicial Watch  has uncovered documents showing close coordination between the Holder Justice Department, Project Vote and the White House to use “Motor Voter” as a pretext for suing states such as Rhode Island and Louisiana for noncompliance.

Holder has also resorted to invoking the 1965 Voting Rights Law to challenge Voter ID laws in states such as South Carolina and Texas.

According to AIM, “Motor Voter” is an intermediate goal because the Left ultimately wants Universal Voter Registration that would automatically register voters on various state and federal databases. This would involve measures such as abolishing the Electoral College in presidential elections, felon voting, Same-Day voter registration and the Soros-funded Secretary of State Project that aims to elect committed leftists who would ignore voter fraud complaints to these state posts nationwide.
