Liberato.US Prompts Virginia Lawmakers to Write Bill to Curb Noncitizen Voting
UPDATE 3/19/17 -
Bill to Curb Noncitizen Voting Passes Virginia House, but Dies in the Senate
The bill applied to state and local elections (doing something about federal elections is frustrated at the moment by misguided court rulings). More on HB 1598 here.
UPDATE 2/1/17 -
Detractors Factually, Empirically, Scientifically WRONG in Dismissing Noncitizen Voting Problem
President Trump claimed "3 to 5 million illegals" voted in November and the ruling media elite went nuts, ridiculing the claim. Then Trump turned the tables, tweeting that he would investigate:
Whereupon followed a number of stories establishing probable cause to believe Trump’s claim is valid:
It’s terrific Trump called the media’s bluff. Now we’re going to get to the bottom of this, exactly what the Democrats fear.
UPDATE 1/25/17 -
Trump Calls for Major Investigation into Noncitizen Voter Fraud; Bill Introduced in Virginia
On January 25th, President Trump tweeted:

Journalists who scoff at the notion have not been following the news on noncitizen voting, including reports of a preliminary investigation that has already turned up hundreds of noncitizens on the voter rolls in Virginia. A bill has been introduced in Virginia (HB 1598) that contains several of the recommendations in Liberato.US’ legislative proposal (see below), including limiting proof of citizenship to birth certificates and certain other documents, NOT driver’s licenses which are too easy to get. Liberato.US will be tracking the progress of the bill and the federal investigation.

Liberato.US has succeeded in getting a Virginia Delegate to patron legislation to make it harder for noncitizens to vote in Virginia. A number of other lawmakers have expressed their support. The idea is endorsed by a number of local Tea Parties and other groups in the state. The need for such legislation is becoming more apparent, as the idea of letting noncitizens vote gained ground around the country in 2016. The legislation will put meat on the bones of the provision in Virginia’s state Constitution rendering noncitizens ineligible to register to vote (Article II, Section 2). It is not known at this time what the draft bill will contain. More later as things develop.

- “the essence of citizenship is the right to vote, and you should go about becoming a citizen before you get the right to vote…. There’s been an awful lot of people over the years that have fought and died for the right to vote – for giving you and I the right to vote – and I don’t think we should walk away from that concept…. If you want to have full rights, and voting is a very big part of full rights, become a citizen.”

The Citizen Voter Anti-Dilution Act
A Legislative Proposal (Modified 11/10/15)
- Proof of Citizenship
- No person shall be registered to vote in state elections unless they produce an unexpired passport, citizenship papers, or a certified birth certificate, in person along with their photo ID. (Texas HB 2889).
- Provide an appeals process akin to a ‘427 hearing’ for persons claiming citizenship who do not possess the specified documents or who are otherwise removed from the rolls by virtue of noncitizenship. The standard shall be ‘clear and convincing evidence’ and the burden of proof shall be on the petitioner.
- Amnesty – Noncitizens who fraudulently registered to vote shall have 6 months to remove themselves from the rolls without civil or criminal penalty.
- Juror Cross-Check
- The Registrar SHALL expeditiously move to cancel registration if the person is disqualified from jury service after claiming noncitizenship. Follow the prescribed format in the code for notification and removal.
- Commonwealth’s Attorneys must investigate and, if probable cause exists, prosecute persons voting in elections who claimed noncitizenship on juror forms.
- Federal Database Cross-Check
- Virginia state authorities SHALL check Virginia voter rolls against available federal databases and SHALLL remove persons notated as noncitizens therein. State authorities SHALL request access to relevant federal databases including 1) SAVE - Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements program, an immigration database; 2) the DHS deportation database (illegals with deportation orders still residing in U.S.); 3) the system developed from commercial databases by the Maximus company to remove noncitizens from the Medicaid program; and 4) such other federal databases designated by the State Board of Elections.
- Provide criminal penalties for any individual knowingly helping to register noncitizens to vote. Organizations found guilty of such shall lose their license to operate in the state of Virginia.
- All voter registration forms issued by the state shall bear a serial number. State officials shall record identifying information for the numbers issued to every individual or group seeking multiple forms.
- Notation of noncitizenship status SHALL be required on any state form if the state official issuing the form is aware of such status. The DMV SHALL be required to make such notations on driver’s licenses for visa-holders lawfully present in the U.S. who are entitled to have licenses under Virginia law.
- The ‘acceptance and use’ of federal voter registration forms SHALL be limited to those specific instances clearly required by federal statute or judicial interpretation from a court of competent jurisdiction. The state form shall be used in all other instances.
- More ideas: State DMV database check (cf., Ohio SB63; Nevada AB 459)
