I have noticed the loony left is using the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 as a basis for challenging President Trump's EOs about voting. So, exactly what is this act?
On January 5, 1993, Al Swift (D-WA-2) introduced HR2 - National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (aka Motor Voter Act, aka NVRA) to establish national voter registration procedures for Federal elections, and for other purposes. This bill had 73 cosponsors (1 GOP 72 DEM). President Bill Clinton (D) signed this bill into law as PL 103-31 on May 20, 1993. The bill is summarized as follows:
National Voter Registration Act of 1993 - Requires each State to establish Federal election voter registration procedures by: (1) application made simultaneously with a driver's license application; (2) mail; and (3) application in person at a designated Federal, State, or nongovernmental office, or at the applicant's residential registration site in accordance with State law.
Declares that this Act does not apply to any State that has no voter registration requirement [the only state that currently has no voter registration requirement is North Dakota] with respect to elections for Federal office and/or in which voters may register at the polling place at the time of a general election for Federal office.
(Sec. 5) Declares that each State motor vehicle license application (or renewal application) shall simultaneously serve as a voter registration application with respect to Federal elections, unless the applicant fails to sign the voter registration application. Sets forth provisions regarding: (1) forms and procedures; and (2) transmittal deadlines.
(Sec. 6) Requires each State to use the mail voter registration application form prescribed by the Federal Election Commission (Commission). Authorizes a State to develop its own form provided it meets the requirements of this Act.
Authorizes a State to require first-time voters to vote in person, with exceptions for overseas and handicapped or elderly persons.
Authorizes the removal of a voter application in the case of an undelivered (returned) notice of an application made by mail.
(Sec. 7) Requires each State to designate voter registration agencies including: (1) all State offices that provide public assistance, unemployment compensation, or disability services; (2) State or local government offices; (3) Federal and nongovernmental offices (upon their agreement); and (4) armed forces recruitment offices.
(Sec. 8) Requires each State to: (1) assure that any eligible applicant who submits an application by a certain deadline is registered to vote in the election; (2) require the appropriate State election official to notify each applicant of the disposition of the application; (3) provide that the name of a voter may not be removed from the official list of eligible voters except by reason of death, criminal conviction, mental incapacity, change in residence, or voter request; (4) inform applicants of voter eligibility requirements and penalties provided by law for submission of a false voter registration application; (5) conduct a general program that makes a reasonable effort to remove from the official lists any voters ineligible by reason of death or change of address; and (6) ensure tht the identity of any voter registration agency where a particular voter registered is not publicly disclosed.
Provides that any State program or activity to protect the integrity of the electoral process by assuring an accurate and current voter registration roll for elections for Federal office shall: (1) be uniform and nondiscriminatory; and (2) not result in the removal of the name of any person from the official list of registered voters for failing to vote.
Prohibits a State from removing the name of a voter from the official list of eligible voters for Federal elections on the grounds that the registrant has moved, unless such registrant: (1) confirms in writing that he or she has changed residence to a place outside the jurisdiction of the registrar; or (2) has failed to respond to a notice from the registrar and has not appeared to vote and, if necessary, correct the address in an election during a certain period.
Provides for the opportunity to vote of a person who has changed address without properly notifying the registrar.
States that in the event of a change of address, for voting purposes, of a voter to another address within the same jurisdiction, the registrar shall correct the voting registration list accordingly. Prohibits such voter's name from being removed from the registry of eligible voters by reason of such change of address, except as provided in this Act.
Requires the United States attorney to give the chief State election official written notice of an offender's felony conviction in Federal district court.
Amends Federal postal rate law to require the Postal Service to make certain lower postal rates available to State or local election officials who certify that a mailing is in furtherance of this Act.
Requires the States to maintain for public disclosure, for a minimum two-year period, all records pertaining to the accuracy and currency of official lists of eligible voters.
(Sec. 9) Directs the Commission to: (1) develop a mail voter registration application form for Federal elections; (2) submit to the Congress not later than June 30 of each odd-numbered year a report assessing the impact of this Act on the administration of Federal elections during the preceding two-year period; and (3) provide information to the States with respect to their responsibilities.
(Sec. 10) Requires each State to designate a chief State election official to coordinate State functions under this Act.
(Sec. 11) Provides a private right of action for an individual aggrieved by a violation of this Act.
(Sec. 12) Imposes criminal penalties upon any person who: (1) intimidates, threatens, or coerces any person for registering or voting or exercising any right under this Act; or (2) deprives or defrauds the inhabitants of a State of a fair and impartially conducted election process.
(Sec. 13) Sets forth the effective date of this Act (January 1, 1995).
Being able to register to vote is not dependent on obtaining a Driver's License. It just allows you to register to vote when you apply for a Driver's License.
Many states (of which mine is one) are working to pass state laws that automatically register you to vote when you obtain a Driver's License without checking your eligibility or even asking if you want to register to vote (some do not). And some of these states do not check citizenship when issuing Driver's Licenses but register you to vote anyway.
Final House Vote 154 result 259 (20 GOP 238 DEM 1 IND) to 164 (150 GOP 14 DEM) with 9 members not voting (6 GOP 3 DEM).
Composition of the House in 1993 was 170 GOP 252 DEM 1 IND.
Final Senate Vote 118 result 62 (6 GOP 56 DEM) to 36 (36 GOP) with 2 members not voting (Hatch (R-UT) and Rockefeller (D-WV))
Composition of the Senate in 1993 was 43 GOP and 57 DEM
This bill was passed when the DEMs had control of BOTH the House and the Senate and they only required a simple majority of the Senate to pass the bill (but now the SAVE Act cannot be passed with a simple majority of the Senate?).
This bill revises requirements related to voter removal programs.
Currently, each state must conduct a general program that makes a reasonable effort to remove the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of eligible voters by reason of (1) the death of the voter, or (2) a change in the residence of the voter. A state may meet this requirement by establishing a program under which change-of-address information is provided by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). This bill removes the ability of states to rely on this change-of-address information provided by the USPS for the purpose of removing the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of eligible voters.
This bill repeals the National Voter Registration Act of 1993. The act established certain voter registration requirements for federal elections, such as the requirement for states to allow individuals to register to vote when they apply for a driver's license.
Also consider contacting Mike Johnson (R-LA-4), Leader of the House asking about getting HR55 out of committee and to the floor for a vote.
Right now, the GOP has a simple majority of both the House and the Senate. After the election on November 3, 2026, that will change. Either the GOP will remain in control with the same or more seats or they lose control to the DEMs come noon on January 3, 2027.
I know some people only vote when they can vote for who will be the next president and skip the midterm elections. Please consider voting this midterm.
Your choice is simple:
the republican party (unfortunately with the RINOs)
OR
communists posing as socialists posing as Democratic Socialists of America posing as members of the democratic party. While I realize there are RINOs in the GOP, electing them is still better than electing communists. Be careful with Independent candidates as well because most of them vote with the Democrats in Congress. (For more information on the Communist Control act please review my August 24, 2026 ANP article.)
AND
Watch out for the new Islamic coalition (they could be running as GOPs OR DEMs) as well since they want to install Shari'a law here (for more info on Islam and their laws please review my December 23, 2025 and December 26, 2025 ANP articles). They mean for their Shari'a law to override our Constitutional Republic (For more information on our Constitutional Republic please review my August 19, 2026 and August 20, 2026 ANP Articles).
There are only a couple months before this Congressional session ends. If the GOP remains in control of both chambers of Congress, perhaps they will finally pass the laws We The People want passed!
Those are some of the exact words used by Google’s censors, aka 'Orwellian content police,' in describing many of our controversial stories. Stories later proven to be truthful and light years ahead of the mainstream media. But because we reported those 'inconvenient truths' they're trying to bankrupt ANP.
