Senator Mike Lee on Making Elections Easy to Vote and Hard to Cheat

Published | Video Starts at 00:13

The Democrats in the Senate seem to be perfectly comfortable with making it easy to vote. They're not okay with hard to cheat. The reason we need to make it hard to cheat because All you have to do when you're using the NVRA form at a DMV is check a box saying, yes, I'd like to register to vote while I'm applying for a driver's license. And then you sign statements saying, I am a citizen and otherwise entitled to vote. And that's it. They can't, by law, according to the Supreme Court, do any further investigation into that person's citizenship. That's a problem. (00:13–00:35)

Asserts that the NVRA form process at DMVs allows voter registration with minimal verification of citizenship.
