==ALEC Resolution Text==

WHEREAS, Congress is considering new legislation to establish a federally
mandated, universal, government-run voter registration system; and

WHEREAS, Such a federal mandate would dangerously erode state control of
election procedures; and

WHEREAS, States, rather than the federal government, should have the
responsibility of managing the election process; and

WHEREAS, Appointed federal bureaucrats in Washington D.C. should not be able
to override the decisions of elected state legislators and local election officials;
and

WHEREAS, The protection of the integrity of our election process must be a critical
priority in any election reform legislation;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That ALEC opposes any further federal
takeover of local election processes; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That ALEC opposes any federal unfunded mandates
in the administration of elections; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That should Congress make any grants of money
conditional on the voluntary adoption of new voter registration or voting
procedures, that two of those procedures required to qualify for federal funding be:

:A. A requirement for voters to present a government-issued photo ID at the polls and for voters to enclose a copy of such an ID with any absentee ballot.

:B. A requirement that all new voter registrations include the requirement that the registrant present proof of citizenship before the registrant is declared eligible to vote.
