This is actually not an uncommon way by which aliens on registered voting lists are trapped and caught. I've heard of a number of cases such as this. They register illegally to vote, which puts them in a potential local jury pool, and so can be called up for jury duty. When they're called for jury duty and try to get out by claiming they aren't citizens, they've incriminated themselves as illegal voters. But, odds are that they won't get much of a penalty of any kind (except maybe they'll be removed from the voting lists, as some Florida state officials wish to do) despite the fact that I've been told that in Florida, illegal voting is a felony.
Thanks justiceseeker93.
Felony, shmelony. Emma Lazarus counts them as huddled masses. They’re from a teeming shore. And they’re yearning to not only breath free, but eat free, vote free, and play free games such as Pac Man and knock-down.
Lemme break this down for you before we are all sent to Eric Holder Political Re-Education Camp, OK?
You see, my children, African-Americans were in bondage for 400 years in the New World. Of course, during that entire period of white exploitation of this noble race, the slaves were denied the franchise.
As anyone who has completed a New Math course can easily deduce, these denied votes would easily increase to a number in the BILLIONS over the centuries, not to mention the millions upon millions who perished in the sea voyage from Africa to our shores. (Number source: Maya Angelou)
That means, as night follows day, that the descendants of these former slaves have the right ... nay the duty ... to make up for all those of years of missed elections. They must reclaim the lost rights of their ancestors. They know through race memory exactly how those ancestors would have voted, had they the chance. So, vote for them they must. Early. Often. Electronically. By Mail. By appearing at multiple precincts in the Federally Funded Church Van, and if needs be, appearing as a virtual voter construct in the geek-mind of some young nerd who grew up on Sim City.
In the case of African-American women, even after Emancipation they were denied the right to vote by vicious, patriarchal, hierarchical, gender-normative, imperialist, colonial men ... so they are owed ... in addition to a free cell phone, Sec 8 housing, EBT, AFDC, and Medical, as many extra votes as needed to assure their continued reception of these benefits.
Illegal aliens are another case in point where you Republicans and Conservatives need a little straightening out. They are also the descendants of slaves and other oppressed classes. In their case, they reach back into the mists of colonial time to use the names of as many of their ancestors, legitimate and otherwise, as they possibly can, honoring them with multiple identities and making sure that each identity has full rights, benefits, and any goodies left lying around by other oppressed minorities. That includes the vote for each identity. Fair is fair.
I hope you fanatical Right Wing Racists will see the justice here. After all, it's not as if minority voters are out to strip you of the franchise ... unless absolutely necessary of course.
