Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas During a discussion panel on voter identification (ID) laws held
at the U.S. Capitol on Feb. 17th Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) let it be known he equates Voter ID Laws or proof of citizenship laws with Jim Crow laws that if passed will cause America to step
backward toward another dark time in our history." Lewis also alleged that he did not know of any cases of illegal immigrants voting and its a lot of say-and-do about nothing."
At the same meeting Rep Emmanuel Cleaver II ((D-Mo.) said there are no illegal immigrants voting the U.S.
He also said that only 13 cases of voter fraud took place in the entire United States in the past ten years.
Were not sure where Cleaver got his facts" but we are positive he and his staffers never bothered to double-check.
According to a report issued by the Commission on Federal Election Reform in 2005 federal prosecutors charged 89 individuals and convicted 53 for election-
fraud offenses.
Another highlight from the report In 2004 at least 35 foreign citizens applied for and received voter cards in just ONE county in Texas.
That same year the Washington State gubernatorial election was decided by 133 votes while 1678 illegal votes were cast. The election was upheld because there was no way to determine which candidate received the illegal votes.
Currently 29 states have no ID requirement to vote and 31 require some form of identification to vote with eight requiring photo ID.
