Capitol Street, NW I Suite 401 I Washington, DC NASS White Paper on Business Identity Theft 2 Prevention and Protection in State Policy-Making Efforts Introduction In October 2011, the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) held a national forum on business identity theft in Atlanta, Georgia, bringing together top advocates and experts from government and the private sector. The event was part of a NASS Business Identity Theft Task Force plan to develop proactive strategies for combating this relatively new type of crime. Secretaries of State and state business division directors attended the forum to learn how they could better protect the state-held information that offers a potential gateway to business identity theft. They wanted to discuss how they could work with law enforcement, financial institutions and business leaders in their state to educate all of the stakeholders about this type of crime. They were also interested in hearing about tools and technology that would aid in the detection and prevention of business identity theft, with best practices from private sector experts familiar with the issues. Some states were already aware of the increasing number of business identity fraud cases involving unauthorized changes to business records on file with Secretary of State offices. Georgia and Colorado had both spent considerable time and effort implementing comprehensive response and prevention measures, and these offices had plenty of substantive advice to share with their peers.

  • 1 Immigrant Resentment and Voter Fraud Beliefs in the U.S. Electorate
    Immigrant Resentment and Voter Fraud Beliefs in the U.S. Electorate Adriano Udani Assistant Professor Department of Political Science University of Missouri – St. Louis [email protected] David C. Kimball Professor Department of Political Science University of Missouri – St. Louis [email protected] July 2017 Forthcoming, American Politics Research Abstract Public beliefs about the frequency of voter fraud are frequently cited to support restrictive voting laws in the United States. However, some sources of public beliefs about voter fraud have received little attention. We identify two conditions that combine to make anti-immigrant attitudes a strong predictor of voter fraud beliefs. First, the recent growth and dispersion of the immigrant population makes immigration a salient consideration for many Americans. Second, an immigrant threat narrative in political discourse linking immigration to crime and political dysfunction has been extended to the voting domain. Using new data from a survey module in the 2014 Cooperative Congressional Election Study and the 2012 American National Election Study, we show that immigrant resentment is strongly associated with voter fraud beliefs. Widespread hostility toward immigrants helps nourish public beliefs about voter fraud and support for voting restrictions in the United States. The conditions generating this relationship in public opinion likely exist in other nations roiled by immigration politics. The topic of fraudulent electoral practices will likely continue to provoke voters to call to mind groups that are politically constructed as “un-American.” * We acknowledge the support of the University of Missouri Research Board, the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Missouri-St. Louis and National Science Foundation Award # 1430505.

  • Sos for Democracy Memo
    MEMORANDUM TO INTERESTED PARTIES FROM: Steve Rosenthal & Larry Scanlon RE: Targeting Secretary of State Races in 2014 Date: December 11, 2013 Background The office of Secretary of State is playing an increasingly important role for progressives. With the national right-wing attack on voting rights, conservatives have effectively targeted secretary of state races across the country in an effort to control the offices that administer the electoral processes. Equally as important, in many states, secretaries of state play pivotal roles in the ballot initiative process. With so many important issues being decided through ballot initiatives (increases in the minimum wage, gay marriage, environmental protections, etc.), increasing our involvement in electing secretaries of state who will stand with working families is vital. In many states, secretaries of state have far-reaching influence over the electoral process. Their powers often include controlling the certification of names of candidates on the ballot and ballot proposals/initiatives, conducting recounts, overseeing the testing and implementation of voting machines, maintaining the lists of registered voters in their state, as well as certifying and registering campaign expenditure reports by both candidates and outside groups. Given the importance of this office and the fights our side can expect to have moving forward, we convened a group of progressive organizations on September 12th of this year, hosted by the National Education Association, to discuss forming an independent expenditure committee called SoS for Democracy. The sole purpose of this organization will be to help elect progressive candidates as secretaries of state in targeted states around the country. Based on some early analysis and conversations, we are looking at a handful of secretary of state races for 2014, including Arizona, Colorado, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico and Ohio.1 However, final targets will be based on our donors’ preferences.

In 2010, more than 1.8 million Colorado citizens turned out to cast a vote for their government leadership. These votes helped elect a U.S. Senator and seven U.S. Representatives. At the state level, voters elected a governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, state treasurer, attorney general, three state board of education members, three CU regents, 19 state senators, 65 state representatives, a district attorney and other county and local elected leaders. Voters also retained numerous judges and weighed in on nine questions regarding changes to state law. I encourage Colorado citizens to be actively involved in the democratic process—our democratic system of government is only as strong as the participation of its citizens. I hope you find this abstract to be informative.

MINNITE, PH.D Fish v. Kobach, No. 2:16-cv-02105 I. SUMMARY OF OPINIONS1 I was asked by plaintiffs’ attorneys to prepare a report concerning the incidence of voter fraud generally, and non-citizen registration and voting in Kansas, in particular. Based on my extensive research and analysis of contemporary voter fraud in contemporary U.S. elections, I conclude: A. While a handful of non-citizens have appeared on the registration rolls in Kansas over the last fifteen years, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach has not set forth, and I have not found, any empirical evidence to suggest that non-citizen registration and voting are problems of any significance in the state; B. Since Secretary Kobach has been granted prosecutorial power by the state legislature, he has indicted six people for illegal registration and voting, none of whom are non-citizens. In Section II, I discuss my educational and professional background and qualifications. In Section III.A, I briefly discuss the historical background of restrictions on voting and election fraud. In Section III.B, I examine the electoral process and define voter fraud as “the intentional corruption of the voting process by voters.” Next, in Section III.C, I review the research reported in my 2010 scholarly treatment of the subject of voter fraud in contemporary U.S.
