Lifted from Instapundit – J. Christian Adams (emphasis mine):
Podesta’s right. Alien registration and voting is the next big battle for election integrity, because federal mandates created vulnerabilities in our election process.
Here’s how it works.
Under Motor Voter, registrants can get registered to vote while they get their driver’s license or “photo ID.” How? Well, getting registered to vote is as easy as marking “YES” to the question: “Are you a citizen of the United States?”
As Podesta notes, when you attest you are a citizen, you get registered. It’s automatic. It’s mandated under federal law.
The registrant then signs the form, stating under “penalty of perjury” that the answers are correct. It’s an honor system — but only four states engage in citizenship verification.
And three of those four states are currently entangled in litigation with leftist groups trying to end that verification: Kansas, Alabama, and Georgia.
These leftist groups have allies in the Justice Department, which has also fought citizenship verification measures ferociously.
They’re playing for keeps.
The answer is simple: pure power. The stakes are high because the money resulting from winning is very high. But that’s not what drives most politicians (although perhaps a nice side benefit). Instead, it is power and they are greedy for it. Described above is one of the perfect ways to commit voter fraud because it leaves little or no trace; once in, your in for life.
Our Government – weaponized. It isn’t just the election that is now rigged.
