WASHINGTON (Talon News) -- Rep. Henry Hyde (R-IL) has introduced a bill into the U.S. House of Representatives that would help curb voting fraud by requiring voters to provide photo identification when voting in federal elections.

"The Federal Election Integrity Act of 2004," or H.R. 4530, would specifically amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, also known as the Motor Voter law, to require any individual who desires to register or re-register to vote in an election for federal office to provide the state election official with proof of citizenship to prevent illegal aliens from voting in federal elections.

Forms of identification that can be used include a U.S. birth certificate, a naturalization card, or a U.S. passport. Supporters of the Hyde bill are hoping it will pass so it will become law before the November elections.

This is long overdue. The democratic party has a history of registering and allowing illegal aliens to vote.

The democratic party is watering down what it means to be a citizen. This goes along with Mexico's stated objective of getting rid of the border. The new Mexican official in Tijuana was on TV yesterday and that's what he said - they don't want the border to exist.

I expect a fight from the Dims on this one. This bill goes against everything they stand for. I.e. Vote early and vote often!

This is ever so badly needed for California. The language inside every illegals-related bill in our Assembly is crafted by the Latino Caucus to get ballots into the hands of Illegal Aliens, not least of which the constantly-revamped Driver License bill.
