Several blue states in the United States automatically register hundreds of thousands of residents to vote each year whenever they interact with state agencies, including welfare offices, a report by reporter John Fund details.
The report, issued by the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, documents the automatic voter registration (AVR) policy now imposed by 23 states and the District of Columbia. All but three of these states are blue states controlled by Democrats.
background authorized the 2021 book Our Broken Election: How the Left Changed the Way We Vote with Hans von Spakovsky of The Heritage Foundation.
In its report, the Fund details how states with AVR make residents appear on voter rolls when people interact with state agencies, including welfare offices, motor vehicle offices, and unemployment offices.
AVR is often accompanied by a failure to maintain voter registration, according to the Fund, which leads to significant electoral problems where ineligible voters, including foreign nationals, are incorrectly registered to vote for years:
[AVR] would also register individuals using information in various existing state and federal government databases, which would predictably result in the registration of large numbers of ineligible individuals such as aliens and felons, as well as multiple or duplicate registrations of the same person, both in the same and different states.

Under federal law, the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 and the 2002 Help America Vote Act require states to maintain accurate voter rolls. [Emphasis added]
However, some state politicians ignore this law. In 2017, Democratic Governor Terry McAuliffe of Virginia vetoed a measure that would have required an investigation into the election. in which the ballots outnumber the voters. [Emphasis added]
Even more suspicious, when then-Republican Gov. Rick Scott tried to obey those laws and update Florida’s records, including deleting 51,308 dead voters, Obama’s Justice Department sued to stop him [Emphasis added]
A major scandal hit Pennsylvania in 2017, after it was revealed that thousands of foreign nationals were registered to vote. more than two decades while obtaining their driver’s licenses or other forms of state identification. [Emphasis added]
…
Those aliens who inadvertently register or are registered by the government in error have their immigration status in jeopardy. These mistakes can even lead to deportation. State Department officials identified more than 100,000 registered voters in Pennsylvania who may not have U.S. citizenship. Whatever the actual number, there’s no denying that it was a real problem, since effectively the only thing preventing non-citizens from voting is an honor system. [Emphasis added]
The Public Interest Legal Foundation requested under federal election transparency laws that the State Department provide documents to show its work to identify the 100,000 potential aliens. When Torres refused the request, the foundation sued in federal court. Torres himself was forced to resign as more details about the scandal emerged. [Emphasis added]
Most recently, in 2023, Colorado faced a massive election scandal when it came to light that the office of Secretary of State Jena Griswold (D) mistakenly sent shipments to more than 31,000 foreigners asking to register to vote just weeks before the midterm elections.
In 2022, Griswold’s office he called AVR “an overwhelming success” as more than a quarter of a million Colorado residents had registered to vote since May 2020 after the policy went into effect.
