The state gave them drivers licenses and that made it easy to give them the vote. And, as we all know, giving them DLs was a federal felony by itself.
Ineligible DACA Beneficiaries Discovered on NC Voting Rolls
oct 22, 2014
With the North Carolina U.S. Senate race in a dead heat, state election officials say they have discovered 145 names on the voting rolls who are ineligible to vote because they are illegal immigrants who have been granted President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals status.
According to a
Winston-Salem Journal report, the State Board of Elections discovered the potential illegal voters Tuesday night when the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles ran a search for DACA licenses. The 145 DACA recipients whose names appear on the SBOE’s voting rolls will be sent letters requesting documentation that they are citizens, the report noted.
DACA beneficiaries in North Carolina are able to obtain drivers licenses, but they are not able to vote.
The
Journal notes that it is likely more ineligible people may still remain on the voting rolls.
Actually SSpeeders, the Election Law is what caught these people, isn't it? It's doing exactly what it should do...The State Board of Elections should be vetting all of the applicants for a voters registration card at the time of registration and before the final voter roll for elections, correct? And isn't this what the State Board of Elections was doing when they found these people, if this story is true?
I don't know where you have been, but over a decade ago, some
states were allowing any illegal to get driver's licenses, (yes, govt issued photo ids/another reason why the gvt photo id laws are just a scam to prevent poor blacks without gvt photo id, from voting...illegals already have gvt issued photo ids if they drive, no? )....and to get bank accounts as well as other things...like mortgages...back a decade or more....
