Thread: Letting Non-Citizens Vote in NYC- The King of Bad Ideas?

  1. #91
    ID-less voter fraud made easy:

    Knock on the door canvassing and ask if they're voting, if they say no go to the booth and vote for them.

    You can't drive without ID but can vote?

    We have registration cards, and when I go to vote I have to verbally verify certain information about me.

    and your fraud attempt is thwarted by ink dips.

    Easily handled. Pass another law making U.S. citizenship a requirement for residency. Then the govt. appears to be doing something, while effectively changing squat.

    How would that work for legal residents who aren't citizens? (I'm not even opposed to letting them vote in local elections, but even without that, requiring citizenship for residency seems problematic).
    Keep on keepin' the beat alive!

    That's impossible, that wouldn't change squat it'd change an incredible amount. You've probably got hundreds of thousands if not millions of legally-resident non-citizens in America. Would you deport them all? And how would you ever get future legal immigration if people can't legally get residency (which is a pre-requisite for citizenship).

    But. . . US residency is a requirement for citizenship. Hell, if people can't be citizens without being residents and they can't be residents without being citizens, then even the native-born would end up as non-citizens. I think you might want to re-think what you consider to be "easily-handled." And what "squat" means.
    Last night as I lay in bed, looking up at the stars, I thought, “Where the hell is my ceiling?"
