Of course they do, why else would the Demonicrats be so emphatic about issuing ID/licenses to them?
It's not like they need the driver license, they're never held liable for any traffic infractions or accidents, they don't get cited for not having insurance, so it's obviously intended to be used for voting purposes. |

Not for sure on millions or the number of illegals voting but I do know that there is voter fraud. For instance, if a certain person can get 25 illegal votes in one small county and WV has 55 counties could that not be about 1400 for the state......for that one person? What if there was 5 or 10 people doing it? Why else would a group of people want to stop any Voter ID law that is mentioned?

it's one of the benefits of the identity they stole/use they get to vote without having to worry about a jury duty summons showing up.
they also were notorious for letting family members use their insurance as well - 2 sisters who look similar using 1 health insurance acct. |

No, not really.
I think there are probably isolated cases, but nothing the Trump administration points to when it comes to "millions" is evidence. People on ARFCOM witnessing people speaking Spanish to each other and voting is not evidence. Now, what we do have is a voting system with essentially poor controls, which make fraud more possible than it would be with good controls. For example, you're registered to vote in state x, you move to state Y and you are going to be registered in two states. Somebody dies and in some or most places there's not a good mechanism to match death certificate to voter rolls and correct the record. That all takes money. When people in the Trump admin point to studies about the vulnerability and say this = actual fraud, it's dishonest. If we're concerned with this maybe your local county of 50000 people could skip out buying another MRAP and fix it. Nobody gives a shit about election security, until election season then it lasts 4 months, and then nobody bothers. I do think voter ID is fine, and it is not too much to have people show ID. If showing a damn ID is too much, then the same person probably didn't take the time to be informed either. The left's argument about voter ID disenfranchising people is pretty thin. It's so thin it obviously leads people on the right to believe that Democrats want fraud. I think some Democrats do. There you have it really, both sides of this issue make questionable claims. |

I firmly believe it. I have seen, with my own eyes, activists registering Spanish only speaking people to vote (and since you have to speak English to become a naturalized citizen it is not a leap to conclude that these are illegal aliens). If you look at a leftist state like California, where you have politicians bending over forwards, backwards and sideways to accommodate illegal aliens, then you have to ask, what the hell good is all of this effort if you don't get them voting? Also, you have to ask, why in the hell is the let so opposed to voter ID laws if illegals aren't voting. Yet the media (including Fox News) are making like the accusation is completely batshit insanity. Cavuto just had the SoS for Kansas on TV and was arguing with the guy that trying to investigate claims of voter fraud and illegal aliens voting was a waste of money and waste of time, and that even if there is widespread voter fraud then it could very well have helped Donald Trump. Fat Boy was twisting himself into a pretzel to shoot down a man whose job it is to ensure the integrity of elections because Fat Boy didn't want to believe what he was being told. I wanted to shoot the TV (a feeling that hits me about 10 times per day while I'm working). I don't know why this is so hard to believe. It should be assumed. I'd just like to say that I don't believe Fox News is really on our side, they were pushing Never-Trumpism hard before the election and reporting the same manufactured polling numbers as everyone else. They pretend to be on the Right, sometimes, in order to gain some credibility with Right Wing viewers. Then they fall in lock step when needed to push the leftist narrative, just like in this instance. |

I'm certain that there are illegals voting, but much less certain that they're voting in high enough numbers to have an effect on a general election.
Areas that are already blue strongholds, maybe, but ARFCOM sometimes likes to pretend that we still have the raw numbers if you subtract the illegal vote. |

I voted yes but wanted to comment on your English language requirement for citizenship.
You don't need to pass the language test if you are: Age 50 or older at the time of filing for naturalization and have lived as a permanent resident (green card holder) in the United States for 20 years (commonly referred to as the “50/20” exception). OR Age 55 or older at the time of filing for naturalization and have lived as a permanent resident in the United States for 15 years (commonly referred to as the “55/15” exception). Also you can apply for an exemption to the English and civics naturalization requirements if you are unable to comply with these requirements because of a physical or developmental disability or a mental impairment. |

Instead of taking just a tiny handful of "fraudulent" voters and ensuring that PA, WI and MI stayed blue like they had since 1992, they concentrated several million fake votes in CA.

Some? Sure. Even if it was a couple hundred thousand I'd say very unlikely, but possible? Millions? Nah.
Also, from the English test section: The English test has three components: reading, writing, and speaking. Your ability to speak English will be determined by a USCIS Officer during your eligibility interview on Form N-400, Application for Naturalization. For the reading portion, you must read one out of three sentences correctly. For the writing test, you must write one out of three sentences correctly. Several study tools are available to help you prepare. To get started, see the materials below. Visit the U.S. Government Bookstore to purchase USCIS products and publications.
Certain applicants, because of age and time as a permanent resident, are exempt from the English requirements for naturalization and may take the civics test in the language of their choice. For more information, see exceptions and accommodations. You dont need to be exactly fluent to pass. They even has a list of words on the test. Theres about 40 including "how" and "what"

Not only are illegals voting in large numbers. Their presence, during the census, gives the areas in which they live more members in the US House, and also more Electoral College votes! The absence of voter ID laws and the number of illegals favor the Democrats! That is a big part of the Democratic voter base.

If you do you are an idiot. The left wants them here for two reasons.... 1. To vote for Democrats. 2. To take all of the low paying jobs that blacks would normally take. Keeping the blacks on welfare keeps them on the government tits thereby keeping the blacks voting for the Dems. Clever these commies |

I live in a fairly rural area, and I haven't seen any latinos at all at stores, schools or public events. That said, 10-12 were in line behind me at my polling location at the last fall. I'm not sure if millions are true, but I would need proof before I accepted that hundreds of thousand weren't voting.
I have employeed a few illegal immigrants over the years, and I know they have voted in the past. |

If there was some organized conspiracy to cast millions of illegal votes, then they had the most incompetent mastermind ever. Like Dr. Evil could have done better. Dr. Evil the election mastermind didn't understand we elect presidents through the electoral college not popular vote. So they concentrated on NY and CA. On the other hand they did run Hillary - perhaps the worst-crappiest-most dishonest-antigun-unattractive in more ways than 20 - Democratic candidate ever. So who knows - plenty of failure to go around. |
