Ellison Floats Bills to Export Loose MN Voter Regulation Laws Nationally

Congressman Keith Ellison of Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District wants to impose Minnesota’s loose election system on the nation. He’s introduced two bills to impose the worst two aspects of Minnesota’s system on the entire country. The combination exponentially undermines election integrity.

Ellison’s “Same Day Registration Act” would require all states to allow unverified voters to register and vote on Election Day. This bad idea is exacerbated by the second bill, the “Voter Access Protection Act,” which would prohibit states from requiring voters to show photo ID.

Ellison says his proposals are needed to “curb voter suppression” and protect the rights of young, elderly and minority voters, but photo ID laws in 14 other states have been challenged in the US and state Supreme Courts and plaintiffs have not yet produced a single voter who would be disenfranchised by those laws.

The net effect of Ellison’s two bills is to allow anyone and everyone to cast a ballot on Election Day without any mechanism to verify their identity, citizenship, eligibility, or that they live in the state and precinct they are voting in...

Ellison’s bills are modeled after the system now employed in Minnesota, which as Minnesota Majority recently reported, now leads the nation in voter fraud convictions...

The impact of Ellison’s plan would probably be even worse in many other states whose numerous other election laws and regulations wouldn’t have been designed with Election Day Registration in mind...

The manner of conducting elections has traditionally been left to the individual states, so Ellison’s proposal would be an unprecedented federal intrusion that should be rejected by voters everywhere.
