Motor voter itself is a fraud. One has to check the box "Are you a citizen of the US...Yes or No..." Who checks those who lie that they are a citizen if they aren't? There is NO ID required at this point.

Here's two articles referenced in that pajamasmedia post - Democrats’ Plan for Election 2010: Cheat Why Colorado's Secretary of State Race Matters December 07, 2009 by Michael Robinson Michael Robinson Buescher vs. Gessler in 2010 1X There are currently a million more registered voters in Colorado than there are actual voters. You can thank the lack of voter role purging and cleanup for that. That creates a lot of room for shenanigans by ACORN and its buddies.Since Mr. Buescher will be the acting Secretary of State Why Colorado's Secretary of State Race Matters Date: December 4, 2009 Castle Rock, CO United States of America when the 2010 ballots are counted, he must feel pretty good about the final vote outcome next November. Come to think of it, he will oversee Colorado's U.S. Senate and Congress races as well. This must make acting Senator Bennett and Betsy Markey sleep well at night. The Republicans have reacted to this entry of Chicago-style politics into our Rocky Mountain state by offering up Scott Gessler in opposition. Mr. Gessler may become a burr in the Chicago style saddle of the SoSP. Scott Gessler is a Lawyer who offices in Downtown Denver. His practice concentrates on Election Law. He has 16 years in as a U.S. Army Reservist. He has been a Federal Prosecutor. Gessler is not a lightweight. The SoSP has a litmus test to get an endorsement. Their web site states the requirements for an endorsement which includes: -"Election officials should not place onerous requirements on or attempt to intimidate non-partisan voter registration groups. (such as ACORN) -Efforts to suppress the vote through onerous requirements, such as unconstitutional photo ID laws, must be opposed. -Efforts to raise voter participation of citizens who often face special barriers, such as students, military personnel, low-income people and minorities - including Election Day Registration - should be endorsed and actively supported." Amazingly, Mr. Buescher feels the same way as the SoSP. He doesn't like a photo ID requirement to vote and likes it when a person shows up to vote and registers on the spot. ACORN joins in with their approval of these onerous methods to make Mr. Buescher, the SoSP and ACORN a loving threesome. Scott Gessler is in direct opposition to the SoSP way of voting. One thing appears certain, if you vote for Bernie Buescher to become Colorado's Secretary of State, a lot more votes ala Chicago, will be counted, including dead people, people who have left Colorado, non-people, etc. If you vote for Scott Gessler, a lot more legal votes will be counted and the votes will likely reflect the actual number of Coloradans who live here. I live in Colorado. I vote Gessler. * " You know, comrades," says Stalin, " that I think in regard to this: I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this - who will count the votes, and how." From Memoirs of a Secretary of Stalin's by Boris Bazhanov. associatedcontent.com . Motor Voter + ACORN = Vote Fraud Say Anything notes that Indianapolis/Marion County seems to have more people registered to vote in 2007 then its actual adult citizen population. Even though they only had 644,197 voting age-eligible individuals, there were 677,401 individuals registered to vote, or 105% of the Census population. It should come as no surprise to anyone that the registration list in Indianapolis/Marion County still has large numbers of ineligible voters – people who have died or moved away, are registered more than once, are not citizens or perhaps don’t even exist given ACORN’s activities there. After all, when the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Indiana’s voter ID law this year, it cited the lower court’s finding that Indiana’s voter rolls were inflated by as much as 41.4% in 2004. One of the main reasons for the inflated voter rolls was the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 or Motor Voter, which was the first legislation signed into law by newly sworn-in President Bill Clinton. As the Supreme Court recognized, Motor Voter has provisions “restricting States’ ability to remove names from the lists of registered voters.” In fact, its restrictions and notice provisions are so strict that many states simply stopped doing anything to clean up their voter rolls after Motor Voter became law. Section 8 of Motor Voter does contain a provision requiring states to conduct a general program of “list maintenance” that identifies and removes the names of ineligible voters. However, the U.S. Department of Justice never filed a single lawsuit against any state to enforce this provision until 2005, when it finally filed a lawsuit against Missouri, some of whose counties had voter lists as high as 153% of their actual population. In 2006, Justice filed a similar lawsuit against Indiana and the state entered into a Consent Decree in which it agreed to finally start cleaning up it voter registration rolls. Yet the Bush Administration and particularly its Civil Rights Division were subjected to withering criticism by Congress and many traditional civil rights organizations for filing these suits that were unfairly characterized as an attempt to supposedly purge minorities and “suppress voting.” It seems clear from this report about the voter registration list in Indianapolis/Marion County that they have still not fully complied with the requirement to clean up their voter rolls. All of us should be concerned about this because the larger the pool of invalid names on voter registration rolls, the greater the probabilities that fraudulent votes will be cast in those names by unscrupulous individuals in the upcoming election. blog.heritage.org
