EXPOSED: Democrat States Are Automatically Registering Welfare Cases to Vote

According to a report by journalist John Fund, multiple blue states nationwide are automatically registering hundreds of thousands of residents to vote annually whenever they have interactions with state agencies, which includes welfare offices.
The Committee to Unleash Prosperity issued the report where it documented the Automatic Voter Registration (AVR) policy currently being implemented by 23 states and Washington DC. Only three of these states are not under Democratic control.
Fund was the author of the 2021 book Our Broken Elections: How the Left Changed the Way You Vote, which was co-authored by The Heritage Foundation’s Hans von Spakovsky.
In the report, Fund explains how states with AVR put residents on voter rolls when people have interactions with state agencies, which includes welfare offices, motor vehicle offices, and unemployment offices.
Fund noted that AVR is plagued by a lack of voter roll maintenance, which often generates major election issues, such as ineligible voters, which includes foreign nationals, who are wrongfully registered to vote for years on end. Fund noted this below:
[AVR] also would register people using information in various existing state and federal government databases, which predictably will lead to the registration of large numbers of ineligible individuals such as aliens and felons, as well as multiple or duplicate registrations of the same individual, both in the same and different states…
Under federal law, the 1993 National Voter Registration Act and the 2002 Help America Vote Act require states to maintain accurate voter lists.
Nonetheless, some state politicians ignore this law. In 2017, Democratic Governor Terry McAuliffe of Virginia vetoed a measure mandating investigations of elections in which ballots outnumbered eligible voters.
Even more suspiciously, when then-GOP Governor Rick Scott tried to obey these laws and update Florida’s records, including deleting 51,308 deceased voters, Obama’s Justice Department sued to stop him.
A major scandal hit Pennsylvania in 2017, after it was revealed that thousands of foreign nationals were registered to vote over two decades while getting their driver’s licenses or other forms of state ID…
Those foreign nationals who unwittingly register or are registered by the government by mistake have their immigration status jeopardized. These mistakes can even lead to deportation. State Department officials identified more than 100,000 registered voters in Pennsylvania who might lack U.S. citizenship. Whatever the actual number, there no denying it was a real problem since effectively the only thing preventing non-citizens from voting is an honor system…
The Public Interest Legal Foundation requested under federal election transparency laws that the State Department provide documents to show their work to identify the 100,000 potential foreign nationals. When Torres refused the request, the foundation sued in federal court. Torres himself was forced to resign as more details on the scandal emerged.
American elections have become tainted beyond belief. Thanks to mass migration — which functions as de facto vote rigging –, lax election integrity standards, and efforts to expand the electorate as much as possible, elections these days have increasingly transformed into rubber stamps for the ruling class.
If the Right can’t effectively secure elections, the cultural Left will be on the direct path to electoral hegemony.
