Simply not true Bootney....
Immigrants getting licenses go thru a different process to get their driver's licenses in California, with a license that identifies them as non citizens, and where they are NOT registered to vote automatically.
The licenses are remarkably similar in appearance.
Driver license do not determine eligibility to vote
As once you get your license and become a citizen, you are not required to get a new license
Voting eligibility in the U.S. is determined by Federal and state laws thus it is up to each state to establish if anyone voting meets the criteria
You are eligible to vote in federal elections if:
- You are a U.S. citizen (either by birth or naturalization)
There are other things but nowhere does it say that a license establishes citizenship
This is not a bar where fake ID's are flashed and the person says good enough for me
State has a responsibility to verify things but unfortunately they want the easy way out and not put in the effort
