We don't need the SAVE Act, Democrats tell us, because it's already against the law for illegal immigrants to register and vote.
Cool story.
But that thing that's illegal and totally not happening keeps happening. America First Legal is suing in Arizona to remove them from the voter rolls. Texas removed one million ineligible voters from the rolls, including 6,500 'noncitizens.'
The AP says it's 'rare' that illegal voting happens and shame on Republicans for making it a big issue this election.
Oregon officials acknowledged Friday that the state mistakenly registered more than 300 non-citizens as voters since 2021 in what they described as a “data entry issue” that happened when people applied for driver’s licenses.
An initial analysis by the Oregon Department of Transportation, which oversees the state’s Driver and Motor Vehicle Services, revealed that 306 non-citizens were registered to vote, said Kevin Glenn, a department spokesperson. Of those, two voted in elections since 2021.
State and federal laws prohibit non-citizens from voting in national and local elections.
The mistake occurred in part because Oregon has allowed non-citizens to obtain driver’s licenses since 2019, and the DMV automatically registers most people to vote when they obtain a license or ID, Glenn said.
It's always an 'accident' when they get caught.
Wouldn't surprise us.
No one should be automatically registered to vote.
It sure does.
Nope. And no one will be disciplined for it.
The think pieces on why this is good are be written as we speak.
Totally fine. Nothing to see here.
And we all know this.
Will someone go to jail for this? Get fired? Fined?
If the answer is no, then it's not illegal, regardless of what the law says.
Bingo.
And we'll go from Step 2 to Step 4 very quickly, 'cause an election's coming up.
