    Then you can't give licences to illegals and green card holders.

    Oregon did it - and it's working spectacularly

    https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/02/u...istration.html


    A new strategy to register voters got a first test last month, and the early results suggest it was a success.

    Under a first-in-the-nation law that went into effect at the start of the year, Oregon automatically registered more than 225,000 residents based on interactions with the state’s department of motor vehicles, such as obtaining or renewing a driver’s license. Of those, nearly 100,000 voted last month, a turnout rate of 43 percent, more than half the 80 percent rate among all registered voters in the state.

    “For Oregon to get that just among the people who are automatically registered is quite a feat,” said Barry Burden, a professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and director of that school’s Elections Research Center.

    The law represents one of a handful of recent attempts by states to expand voting access even as many others sought to limit it, often by imposing strict requirements intended to protect against voter fraud, which most experts agree is not a widespread concern.

    I have noticed in the news lately, that the next big push by the left is to grant the franchise to green card holders. (legal immigrants who are not yet citizens.)

    I say no.

    We should probably have stricter standards on what citizenship means than what we do today.

    I don't think green card holders should either. They're not citizens. I don't see how that could be possibly legal.

    Neither is automatically registering driver's license applicants who do not mark a box stating whether or not they are citizens to vote...but they're sure as hell doing it, in California, as you read this.

    I'm not seeing evidence of that. Perhaps you have some?
