Given the obvious liberal discrimination in higher education, it’s fair to ask whether universities are adequately educating students about the consequences and preventing voter fraud.
An immediate wake-up contact can be provided by the latest case of a non-citizen student at the University of Michigan who was detained after casting an illegitimate voting. Universities should put more emphasis on student election monitoring and stronger enforcement of voting enrollment laws on campus to safeguard the integrity of our elections.
The student, who is legitimately in the U. S. but never a member, registered to vote using his pupil ID and property records, signing an oath falsely claiming U. S. membership. Because of Michigan state laws, ballots are anonymized after processing, preventing the identification and removal of false votes, his vote was counted.
Additionally, the student allegedly cast his outlawed ballot at a campus Democratic donor office. UM turned its Museum of Art into” a dish spot” of the Ann Arbor City Clerk’s Office and a “one-stop-shop” for citizens.
This is all a part of a wider pattern. Nationwide, institutions are extremely encouraging students to voting. Given the UM event and the obvious democratic discrimination in higher training, it’s reasonable to wonder whether universities are adequately preventing voter fraud and educating students about the consequences.
A non-citizen election in a U. S. poll is no small crime, it strikes at the very base of the political process. Every ballot put is a divine duty, one that citizen entails. By allowing only citizens to cast ballots, the electorate has a clear say in shaping the nation’s potential.
Authorities told The College Fix that the state’s weak voter registration rules perhaps have contributed to this violation despite the UM case’s defendant being being prosecuted. These weak laws are not exclusive to Michigan, yet.
According to the National Conference of State Legislatures,” Twenty-three states and Washington, D. C., have implemented same-day membership, which allows any competent resident of the state to register to vote and cast a vote at the same time”.
Similar to what was done at UM, these rules allow individuals to cast ballots before being verified for membership.
Additionally, the problem here is not just one isolated event.
” As the U. S. Supreme Court noted when it upheld Indiana’s voting identifying law,’ obvious examples’ of voting fraud’ have been documented throughout this Nation’s history by respectable historians and journalists,'” the Heritage Foundation reported.
Heritage’s election fraud image, which tracks proven cases of voting fraud in the U. S., more proves this point. It includes a full of 138 cases, and it is” no comprehensive”.
All of this shows that the foundation of protecting our elections should be voter ID laws, valid identification documents, and strict subscription vetting procedures, including on campuses.
Some people make the false claim that these measures may alienate particular demographics, but the debate misses the point. The whole system must appear first, in order to be honest. Without a stable political process, no one can effectively have a say in their picture.
Some people even contend that the percentage of voter fraud in an election is very small. But, according to the National Commission on Federal Election Reform,” In near or disputed votes, and there are many, a small amount of fraud may make the percentage of change”.
Additionally, the UMich case raises questions about how election laws are enforced, especially among students whose residency requirements and citizenship status may occasionally be ambiguous.
Before they can cast a ballot, colleges must make sure that applicants are eligible for admission to the voting room. Non-citizens should not only be subject to legal sanctions, but foreign students and people should also be made aware of the seriousness of casting ballots without the right to perform so.
If the U. S. wants to preserve the faith in its democracy, it may enforce greater, more open laws to prevent everyone, resident or no, from undermining the process. Little less is due to the fairness of our votes. Our politics is also important to be left vulnerable.
The basis of our official democracy relies on elections that are open, safe, and trustworthy. It is crucial that we support the integrity of elections in order to keep a government that really represents the people’s will.
