“It is impossible to prosecute an unknown person. That is a matter of the fundamental definition. If you do not know the person, you can't swear out a warrant for an arrest. You also can't take the unknown person into custody. Then you would have the problem of proving that this unknown person committed the crime, and proving it beyond a reasonable doubt. It can't be done. I am concerned about changing motor voter. There is a lot of criticism of motor voter generally. When I supported motor voter, I got a lot of criticism from many people who thought that it went too far. However, I was willing to support motor voter legislation with that broad sweep to try to encourage people to be on the voter rolls to express themselves. Motor voter works against my interest as a candidate in a city like Philadelphia. That happens to be the fact of life. It works against my electoral interests as a U.S. Senator running in Pennsylvania. But notwithstanding that factor, I have supported it, and I continue to support it. If fraud becomes so widespread--and I think it is reaching that point--that we really do not know the level of fraud, it is impossible to determine. But, there is a lot of evidence that there are a lot of people who are not in existence who are voting.”
