The whole PURPOSE of Spitzer’s plan for illegals to get driver’s licenses is so that they can be registered to vote in 2008. And I would guess that Hillary Clinton is a part of that “plan”.
Her negatives are so high, she can’t be elected by the citizenry.
Whistlin’ past the graveyard.
Well, if its between her and Guliani then the illegals might be needed to tip the balance for NY state. Against anyone else, she will almost certainly carry NY. That being said, encouraging illegals to vote is what is motivating Spitzer here.
Yup, that`s THE plan:
The National Voter Registration Act Of 1993
Section 5 of the Act requires states to provide individuals with the opportunity to register to vote at the same time that they apply for a driver’s license or seek to renew a driver’s license, and requires the State to forward the completed application to the appropriate state of local election official.

” Today we celebrate our noble tradition by signing into law our newest civil rights law, the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, which all of us know and love as “motor voter.”...
I’m honored to share this podium with representatives with three fighters for freedom: the NAACP, the League of Women Voters, and Human Serve. I want to pay special tribute to Disabled and Able To Vote, to Project Vote, and to Rock the Vote...
With this law and its appropriate implementation by States, voters can register by applying for a driver’s license...
As I said, I have long supported the idea of motor voter. More than a year ago, I promised as President that I would sign H.R. 2 and fight for its passage. I’m pleased to be able to keep the promise today that I made on this Rock the Vote card which still has my signature back in New Hampshire...”

This doesn’t make sense to me. It’s highly unlikely NY would vote Republican in 2008 regardless of an “illegal aliens with drivers licenses” vote. So why risk passing a license plan that gives the perception you described? I think Spitzer wants to pass this plan because Spitzer wants to pass this plan.
