14% of Illinois Counties Have More Voters Than Citizens of Legal Voting Age

 
CV NEWS FEED // There are more registered voters than citizens of legal voting age in several Illinois counties, a government watchdog group just found.

On August 6, Judicial Watch, a conservative organization that promotes integrity in government affairs, released the results of a study of voter records which found that 14% of Illinois’ counties have more voters than citizens of legal voting age. In addition, the entire state has close to 800,000 inactive voters still registered, indicating that the counties are failing to keep accurate voter records in accordance with federal law.

The group found that counties in Illinois are neglecting to maintain their voter records as required by federal law after a lawsuit against the state made registered voter records public.

Robert Popper, a spokesman for Judicial Watch, told CatholicVote that the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 made a deal between states and the federal government. In return for increased access to voter registration, such as the ability to register at the Department of Motor Vehicles or various public offices, the states were required to maintain their voter lists carefully to ensure accuracy.

There is no cheating!  The Dems will tell you that repeatedly, and sadly, half of America is dumb enough to believe that bullsh*t!

Imagine dumbing down 50 years from now?  I envision a Soylent Green world, or a Logan's Run where people are completely expendable because there  are just too many people.
