On the recordFebruary 12, 1998
first and foremost, when the integrity of our election process is in question, it is certainly something that should be investigated when we have made it more easy for illegal aliens to register to vote with this motor voter program that was put in place several years ago. Of course, we want to make sure that the people who are voting in elections are legally entitled to vote; otherwise we are diminishing the rights of our own people. This is a case that should have been investigated. Something smelled about that election from day one. Hermandad has received a great number, a great amount of Federal funding. Hermandad, an organization that was deeply involved in Loretta Sanchez's campaign, received Federal funds, and they ended up registering to vote people who are not entitled to vote. Sixty percent of the people in that, who are registered by that organization, were not legal voters. This is something that deserved to be looked into, and I think that we have not proven or disproven exactly who won or did not win that election in the 46th.
