The U.S. Motor Voter<\/a> program is bringing illegal aliens out of the shadows.<\/p>\n

Whether a deliberate scheme by state and local registrars to plump the voter rolls, or just bureaucratic incompetence, noncitizens are getting caught up in the Motor Voter machinery.<\/p>\n

Either way, election-integrity groups are finding noncitizens on voter-registration lists from<\/a> coast to coast. Some of the individuals have illegally cast ballots.<\/p>\n

One of the best ways to ferret out illegal aliens is to cross-reference jury excusals with voter-registration records.<\/p>\n

When noncitizens receive a jury summons (generated from voter rolls), they inform the courts they cannot serve because they are not legalized citizens. The excusals flag them for voter-rights groups to challenge their right to vote, along with their legal status.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an ironic twist: The Motor Voter law, long touted by political progressives, draws attention to illegal aliens in our midst.<\/p>\n

In many cases, the noncitizens did not even know they were registered to vote, says Logan Churchwell, spokesman for the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), a nonpartisan group that has sued cities and states<\/a> over tainted voter-registration lists.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t like (noncitizens) were signing up in a Walmart parking lot,\u201d Churchwell noted. \u201cWhen we see people registered for 10 years and they never cast a ballot, they probably checked the wrong box at the DMV.\u201d<\/p>\n

California\u2019s DMV issued 806,000 driver\u2019s licenses to illegal aliens from 2015-2016. Under Motor Voter, the state\u2019s voter registration system is now considered \u201chighly susceptible\u201d<\/a> to fraud.<\/p>\n

PILF credits over-eager bureaucrats, as well as less-conscientious ones, for helping to expose noncitizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cVoter registration forms were put in front of them by local government. DMV officers give them those forms \u2013 even when they\u2019re looking at a green card on the counter,\u201d Churchwell said.
