(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) A new report has cast serious doubt on the efficacy of America’s latest automatic voter registration software, according to the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The software, which is predominantly used in Democrat-controlled states, may be at risk of undermining election integrity through glitches and other irregularities, said the report’s publisher, the Committee to Unleash Prosperity.
Among the concerns highlighted by the report were that it caused voters to be counted twice, and enabled ineligible foreigners to vote.
The report called the unleashing of “automatic voter registration software” a silent “revolution” in American life, noting that it undermined traditional voting qualifications, like citizenship, by making voter rolls out of “welfare recipients and other social service beneficiaries.”
Voting illegally has been made easier and easier in recent years, becoming so predominant that even Pew polling services recognized the widespread problem.
“Pew found that approximately 24 million—one of every eight—voter registrations in the United States were no longer valid or are significantly inaccurate,” the report said. “About 2.8 million people were registered in more than one state, and 1.8 million registered voters are dead.”
Things are especially bad in America’s far-left states.
The report found that California election officials, for instance, had automatically registered at least 1,500 noncitizens to vote and reportedly did not even know about the mistake.
The automatic system also created nearly 84,000 duplicate registrations in its first five months.
The state of Illinois had similar “problems,” giving voting rights to 545 noncitizens.
“The evidence is clear that automatic voter registration does not increase turnout of legal voters,” the report ultimately concluded.
Rather, it expands “the opportunity for voter fraud” and leads to more “illegal voting.” This, in turn, constitutes, “an assault on democracy” by “effectively disenfranchis[ing] legal voters.”
The software is currently used by 23 states and Washington, D.C.
States ostensibly have turned to such software under the guise that they are being “democratic” by “modernizing” the process and making it more inclusive.
Yet, some question whether the Democrats overseeing the elections may, in fact, be acting in bad faith to actively enfranchise those who do not statutorily have the right to vote in order to derive some political benefit for themselves.
