GOP says 5,000 non-citizens voting in Colorado a 'wake-up call' for states

The Hill:

Republicans on the House Administration Committee want to shore up voter registration rules in the wake of a Colorado study that found as many as 5,000 non-citizens in the state took part in last year’s election.

Rep. Gregg Harper (R-Miss.), the panel’s chairman, called the study “a disturbing wake-up call” that should cause every state to review its safeguards to prevent illegal voting.

“We simply cannot have an electoral system that allows thousands of non-citizens to violate the law and vote in our elections. We must do more to protect the integrity of our electoral processes,” Harper added.

Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler, a Republican, told the panel that his department’s study identified nearly 12,000 people who were not citizens but were still registered to vote in Colorado.
Of those non-citizen registered voters, nearly 5,000 took part in the 2010 general election in which Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet narrowly defeated Republican John Buck.

Colorado conducted the study by comparing the state’s voter registration database with driver’s license records.

“We know we have a problem here. We don’t know the size of it,” Gessler said in testimony to Administration’s Elections subcommittee.(snip)

Thanks for the post, Geee!

 

Any reason to think the Soros financing of his progressive Secretaries of State Program was just innocent beneficence?

 

As some other communist noted [Lenin, Stalin?] "....it doesn't matter who votes for what; all that matters, is who counts the vote...."

 

Here in Colorado we were fortunate to get a Republican [Gessler] back in the post.....in Wisconsin, you can see the problem that their Damocrat SOS can create.
