Automatic Permanent Fund Voter Registration in Alaska will lead to more voter fraud

This proposition on Alaska's ballot in 2016 is being marketed as a easy process to increase voter registration.  Here is the problem you may have over 700,000 people apply for the permanent fund dividend not all are qualified to vote.  Alaska state law requires you to apply for a Permanent Fund after you complete one full calendar year of residency.  This will register felons to vote, minors under the age 18.  This will also make it harder to pass levies and bond measures.  It is interesting that NEA-Alaska supports this however this will make it harder for voters to approve school bonds if passed.  Unless you make it so there is a question instead of doing it automatically.  Majority of registered voters do not go to the polls or vote on a regular basis.  Why would automatic registration increase turn out.  There are some people who choose not to vote.  Some do not vote due to the fact of their religion.  Smart Alaska need to understand that this proposition is legal voter fraud.  If someone wants to register to voter they can do in many ways.  You can already check a box on your Permanent Fund dividend application.
