ACRU Policy Board Member Col. Allen B. West expresses ACRU’s support for Texas lawsuit demanding state legislative authority over election protocols be upheld
“The lawsuit filed by Texas against Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin is needed to protect the American electoral process from executive and judicial actions that usurp the constitutional powers of state legislators. ACRU encourages principled leaders across the country to join Texas in the fight against assaults on election integrity and the Constitution.”
Honestly conducted elections, with each American’s vote counting once, is the foundation of a nation whose Constitution begins “We the People…”
The government derives its legitimacy from free and fair elections and is bound by them. Vote fraud cuts at the very heart of American freedom. When an illegal vote is cast and counted, it cancels out the legal vote of a lawful citizen. (Watch the undercover videos).

Voter ID Age Dawns in North Carolina
Raleigh -- After years of debate and lawsuits, showing photo identification at the polls is now a fact of life for North Carolina voters. Early voting for the March 15 primary started Thursday across the state, and every voter is being asked for a photo ID, even if they've voted at the same precinct for years and the poll workers know them. "The check-in official is going to be responsible for looking for reasonable resemblance, and the only thing they're looking at is the photo on the ID - does the photo reasonably resemble the person?" said Kim Strach, director of the State Board of Elections.
No Voters Denied Due to Photo ID Law, former Virginia Officials Testify
Several former state and local election officials testified in federal court that they were not aware of any eligible voter who has been denied the right to cast a ballot because of Virginia's photo voter ID requirement enacted in 2013. "None," said Cameron Quinn, a former state elections official who from 2011 until last year was the general registrar for Fairfax County, testifying on March 1 in the sixth day of a trial before U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson in a lawsuit filed by the Democratic Party of Virginia and two voters challenging the state law. Fairfax is the state's largest jurisdiction and has 700,000 registered voters. Justin Riemer, a former member of the Virginia State Board of Elections and Donald Palmer, the former secretary of the board, also testified that they were not aware of anyone unable to vote because of the photo requirement.

Faulty Data Fuel Challenges to Voter ID Laws
By Don Palmer The use of photo identification to confirm the identity of voters serves an essential election security function in America's polling places and boosts citizens' confidence in the voting process. In perhaps their most prevalent means of attack, opponents of laws requiring photo ID greatly exaggerate the number of voters without a valid ID. In legislative, litigation, and public relations battles, opponents use wildly inflated numbers in an attempt both to portray these laws as burdensome and to gain partisan electoral advantage. They cite a highly inflated number of voters who do not possess a driver's license as the universal number of those who are not able to vote, even though, under all state photo ID laws, various other forms of ID, such as federal and state government IDs, U.S. passports, tribal IDs, or even employer-issued or university student IDs, are also acceptable.
West Virginia Voter ID Bill Goes to Senate
The West Virginia Senate is taking up a bill that the House of Delegates passed that would require voters to present identification at the polls before voting. Lead sponsor Delegate Patrick Lane, R-Kanawha, said 33 states have some form of voter ID law on the books that vary in what form of identification voters are required to produce. West Virginia falls somewhere in the middle of the spectrum, with what Lane called a "non-strict photo ID" bill that would accept several different forms of identification as proof of identity. Under the bill, which passed the House on Feb. 17, a voter would be able to produce a state drivers license, drivers license from another state, non-driver's state ID card, passport, photo student ID card or a photo ID from an employer as proof of identity. The bill would also provide for voters to present a non-photo Social Security card, Medicare or Medicaid card. Lane said virtually any eligible voter in the state should be able to come up with one of the forms of identification included in the bill. But if they can't, they would still be able to vote a provisional ballot under the proposed legislation. Lane also said a voter would be able to bring someone who has known him or her for at least six months to the polls to vouch that the voter is who he or she purports to be. House Democrats, however, spoke out against the bill, which they claimed is an attempt to suppress minority voters.
