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).
In recent years, close elections and news of vote fraud have awakened Americans to the importance of protecting the integrity of the ballot box.

Dems Push for Same-Day Voting
Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Jon Tester (D-Mont.) want every state to offer same-day voter registration for federal elections. The Democratic senators have reintroduced the Same Day Registration Act, which would require states to allow voters to register on the day of an election. Ten states, plus the District of Columbia, currently allow eligible voters to do so, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. In addition, the group notes that Illinois is expected to implement statewide same-day voter registration later this year. Advocates argue it can help increase voter turnout, while opponents say it increases the chances for voting fraud. Klobuchar said the legislation would help "foster" the right to vote. "The right to vote is the foundation of our democracy," she said in a statement. "We should be doing everything we can to foster this right."
Growing Evidence that Non-Citizens Are Voting
Noncitizens are registering to vote and at best, it seems the federal government's officials don't care about this illegal activity. At worst, it raises questions whether some in Washington support illegal voting, so long as it supports their political agenda. The exact number of noncitizens who are voting in our elections is difficult to quantify because of the bureaucratic quagmire perpetuated by federal agencies against the (very few) states that have the resolve to attempt to verify citizenship. Federal agencies responsible for immigration and naturalization routinely fight efforts to compare voter rolls with lists of known noncitizens. Yet evidence of noncitizen voting mounts. The just filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court documenting instance after instance of noncitizens registering and voting. It urges the Court to take up a petition for certiorari filed by Kansas and Arizona seeking to overturn a bad decision on this issue by the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals.
The Obama Administration Blocks Efforts to Stop Non-Citizen Voting
Approximately 6.4 percent of non-citizens voted in the 2008 presidential election, according to a study released last year by professors at Old Dominion University and George Mason University. The figure for the 2010 midterm elections was 2.2 percent. The Obama administration doesn't care. In fact, it is trying to stamp out state-led efforts that would help ensure that only American citizens are electing our leaders. The latest bureaucratic roadblocks have been erected in Arizona and Kansas, which simply want people to verify their citizenship before voting. To implement their commonsense measures, Arizona and Kansas asked the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) -- a small federal agency that exists primarily to assist the states in creating the federal form citizens use to register to vote by mail -- to add the proof-of-citizenship requirement to the registration instructions specific to Arizona and Kansas. Their request was denied because of the decision of one federal employee in Washington, D.C. Arizona and Kansas sued. A commonsense victory at the district court was overturned by the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the fight to restore election integrity has now arrived at the Supreme Court, which is being asked to reverse the decision by the EAC and allow Kansas and Arizona to ensure that only citizens vote in their states. Last week, the Public Interest Legal Foundation filed a brief, on behalf of the , supporting Supreme Court review. The brief explains to the Supreme Court that the so-called safeguards of the federal registration form have unequivocally failed to prevent non-citizen registration.
Report: DHS Adding Millions of ‘New Americans’ to Vote in 2016
There are millions of green card holders in the United States, and sources inside the Department of Homeland Security say a new program is urging them to become citizens in time to vote in the 2016 election. Of the 20 states with the highest green card population, 14 are holding Senate races in 2016, so millions of new voters could dramatically impact the election. J. Christian Adams said on "Fox and Friends Weekend" that this is a case of Democrats using the levers of power to preserve power. "What they're doing is doing a full-court press on getting these aliens - 9,000,000 of them - registered as citizens in time for the 2016 election," Adams said. "They're redirecting resources of DHS to this effort, this campaign." Adams noted that an internal memo from Leon Rodriguez, the director and co-chair of the DHS' "Task Force on New Americans," said, "This report outlines an immigrant integration plan that will advance our nation's global competitiveness and ensure that the people who live in this country can fully participate in their communities." "They say it nakedly in this letter that this is all about politics," Adams stated.
Making It Easy to Cheat
On a host of electoral integrity issues, the liberal position can be summarized in two words: enable cheating. You think that's too harsh? How else to explain the race-baiting rhetoric from President Obama on down against something as common-sense as voter photo ID laws, which the public supports by wide margins? Or the intense drive for Election Day registration, mail-in voting and earlier and earlier balloting, all of which make it harder to detect and prevent vote fraud? Or the opposition to any law ensuring that only citizens can vote? A case in point of the latter is the Obama administration's stiff-arming of two states that want to require proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register to vote. Kansas and Arizona, which already require proof of citizenship on state election forms, asked the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) to include a requirement for proof of citizenship on the federal form. Backed by the Obama Justice Department, the EAC declined. The two states sued, won in U.S. District Court, but saw the verdict overturned in the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Now, the case is heading for the U.S. Supreme Court. In a brief submitted this past week asking the court to take the case, the provided key evidence -- federal voter registration forms -- exposing the shocking ease with which noncitizens can register to vote without any proof of citizenship.
