Carol Platt Liebau: Voter Integrity Matters

Home

For years, Republicans asked whether Democrats wanted an open border as a way to import new voters into the American electoral system. Time and time again, leading democrats dismissed those questions as nothing more than crazy “conspiracy theories.”

But now, in California, Gavin Newsom has just signed legislation that prevents local governments from requiring voters to present identification at the polls. This makes it impossible to ascertain whether illegal immigrants are casting ballots.

Likewise, in Virginia, the DOJ is suing to keep noncitizens on the voter rolls. Canceling the registration of suspected noncitizens has been state policy for 18 years.

Until now, enforcement hasn’t been controversial.

Voter integrity matters.

What holds our system together is public confidence that those who come up short on Election Day lost fair and square. Measures that undermine voter integrity are what constitute the true threat to American democracy.
