Clete to answer your questions . smoothy is correct in that there are many states with same day registration ;early voting , and yes illegals with forged id's or stolen id's do register and vote . Mass registration drives aren’t able to give due attention to eligibility , and so illegal immigrants will still get through even under the threat of stiff penalty .
Now why would they take the risk ? smoothy again correctly notes that sometimes there is a payout .But even without that incentive ,simply stated ,they are voting for the party that most imitates Santa Claus with the givaways ...the ones that create 'sanctuary cities ' so they can avoid consequences for being here illegally ... the party that promotes people dependency on the government .
btw Guess which party promotes the idea that illegals SHOULD be allowed to vote ? Yup ,the Dems.
Most Democrats Think Illegal Immigrants Should Vote - Rasmussen Reportsâ„¢
Their major money patron George Soros has agreed to pour $5 million into a national effort to protect and expand early voting.
Secretaries of state from Ohio and Kansas testified to Congress in February tha they won’t have the tools to sniff out illegal immigrants who register anyway, ignoring stiff penalties to fill out the registration forms that are easily available at shopping malls, motor vehicle bureaus and in curbside registration drives.
Those tolerant of illegal immigrant voting ,like tal ,often camouflage their arguments by stating that voter ID laws, which are meant to discourage unlawful voting of any sort, are being aimed at minorities. There is no evidence to back up that assertion. Instead ,in North Carolina, minority voter turnout actually increased since the passage of North Carolina’s election integrity bill.
The Dems are taking their lead from their elected officials . Wendy Rosen, The Democratic candidate for Maryland’s 1st Congressional District , was forced to end her candidacy after it was discovered that she committed voter fraud by casting a ballot in both Maryland and Florida in multiple political contests .
Connecticut Rep Christine Ayala was caught voting early and often. She was charged with 19 felony counts. Her arrest forced Connecticut Dems change their message from there is no voter fraud to fraud doesn’t occur — but when it does, we won’t tolerate it.
Let's face facts . The Dems will not be able to hold together the Obama coalition in 2016 ,not even among the Blacks . So they need a new source of turnout . Hence their courting of illegals.
Quite frankly ,having a state provided drivers license is not an adequate id. California is handing out drivers licenses to illegals and has been doing it since the beginning of the year .
California issues 110,000 driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants - San Jose Mercury News
The licenses read "not acceptable for official federal purposes" . But states run elections ,and not all elections are Federal . In Nevada where there is a similar law ,a full 80% of the applicants fail the reading test . But that requirment hasn't stopped California from issuing them . California expects to give 1.4 million licenses to illegals in the next 3 years .
