Washington, D.C.—U.S. Congressman Steve King (R-IA) testified yesterday at an oversight hearing before the House Judiciary Committee, bringing to light evidence that illegal aliens and non-citizens are fraudulently taking part in American elections.  The hearing featured other witnesses including: Senator Barack Obama, Senator Ben Cardin, Rep. Rahm Emmanuel, Rep. Loretta Sanchez, Rep. Brian Bilbray, Donna Brazile, Ralph Neas, Eve Sandberg and John Fund.

"Every illegal vote by a non-citizen voids the vote of a U.S. citizen.  There are no effective safeguards to stop non-citizens from casting ballots in our federal elections," said King.  "To address this problem, we need to make sure only American citizens are registered to vote and that voters present a secure ID at the polls to prevent identity theft."
