The bill is a memorial from the Washington State Legislature requesting an audit and review by the Attorney General of the United States regarding the implementation of the "Motor Voter Law" by the Department of Licensing. The memorial highlights concerns that the automatic voter registration process may dilute the voting rights of legal Washington voters, potentially violating both state and federal laws, including the Fourteenth Amendment and the Voting Rights Act. The memorial emphasizes that the Governor has not adequately addressed these concerns despite repeated requests from the legislature.
The Washington House of Representatives is asking the Attorney General to not only conduct this audit but also to report back with findings and recommendations for remedies if any violations are found. Furthermore, the memorial requests that the Attorney General take immediate corrective action based on the audit's results, without needing further consultation. Copies of the memorial are to be sent to key federal officials, including the President and members of Congress from Washington State.
