Clinton signing Motor Voter law.
Looking over his shoulder are the authors of the law:
the infamous Cloward and Piven (third and fourth from right).

"I cannot process it," she said, choking back tears. Without much evidence, President Donald Trump has often referred to millions of people voting illegally in this country. Fitzpatrick now admits she did cast two ballots improperly — but she insists it was not intentional.
Her story is one that stretches over three presidential administrations: those of Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump. It's a story that sheds light on potential gaps in federal law, the limits of the judicial system and the agonizing consequences of what one woman calls a horrible mistake

I blame those at the motor vehicle outlets just as much as I blame her, because they do nothing to ensure they are registering those who are legal voters because they do not care.
Your points are valid. It will be very easy to determine whether or not her claim to have only voted into local elections is true.
But you are assuming that MSNBC is interested in the truth.
By publicly admitting to the two votes, she allows anybody who wants to write a sympathetic story to minimize her offense. The trick is to talk about what she admits to, not what she actually did.
It’s a nice little ruse. One that MSNBC is all too happy to participate In.
No they had a record of everything she did...
They would have told her they knew she voted and she admitted it...
All green card holders know not to vote until they are naturalized into American citizenship...
they know they will be deported if they do vote...
they know and agree to all the rules BEFORE they ever leave home...
I signed the same forms she did...
If President Trump declared that all non US citizens have 180 days to turn in any illegal voter ID and have their names purged from the voter rolls under threat of a 10 year ban from being in the US, I bet millions would do so.
I think that if illegals don't self-deport they should never be allowed legal entry.

Absolutely correct. It sounds like this woman did everything right until she was explicitly told, by an agent of the State no less, that “it’s up to (her)” if she could register to vote. How is that not entrapment?
It’s not as though voting in local elections by non-citizens is a bizzare idea anyway. Here:
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-10-28/some-cities-want-their-immigrants-to-vote
Is a Bloomberg article discussing such voting, and some of the history thereof.
Given the circumstances, it’s believable to me that Ms. Fitzpatrick had a rational belief that she was allowed to vote in local elections. Even if she’d been told otherwise at the time of getting her green card, it’s easy to see how she could have been fooled by the State agent into believing that the law had changed. IF the story is correct as presented, then I think that it’s the State that is at fault here, not Ms. Fitzpatrick.
Get out! Stay out! You are an illegal alien invader and fraudulent voter, you worthless pig.
Exactly
She is a medical translator and thus has very good command of English. Unless she has never turned on a television, surfed the internet or read a newspaper she knew damn well she was not eligible to vote. She committed a felony and now pays the consequences for her illegal act.
I lived in the United Kingdom for several years. I could not vote and would never even consider trying to vote there as it would be a fraudulent vote and illegal. My son was born in the UK. He has dual citizenship. He can legally vote there if he desired. He lives in the United States and votes only in the United States.
Fitzpatrick and her daughters are pleading for changes in Motor Voter law policies that could prevent other non-citizens from falling into what they see as a “trap.”
“Asking non-citizens if they'd like to register to vote is not just — but it is the law,” Margarita's daughter Connie said. “In a way, it's saying that entrapment is okay. And that is not just.”
Great idea! Clinton's Motor voter asking non-citizens if they want to vote.
Pay RESTITUTION to those people you defrauded and ripped off Grandma. Good Grandmas do NOT steal from their neighbors.
How old are you?? And you have not learned that theft is wrong??
Not one word of restitution. Loser.

I'm shocked...SHOCKED!!!
She thinks spreading her legs for another Mexican illegal was some sort of accomplishment
Ignorance of the law is no excuse, but then there's no excuse for plain ignorance.
Wetbacks, get out!
And then, after waiting for years, find out she's banned for life.

Like that? Typical liberal response... We will have no commentary here! Explore better ways? Flat out lie!
They just don't want free speech is what their problem is.
This is a tough one. 24 years ago, my brand new Filipino wife, with a temporary Green Card went to the DMV to get her drivers license. While waiting in line, this nice, kind older lady asked her if she wanted to register to vote. Now she was new to the country, new in her marriage, and new to driving. Learning the laws of driving was the focus of her visit, and she didn’t have a clue how she should answer this nice granny with the voter registration forms. Fortunately, I was with her and I informed the nice lady the my wife was not a citizen. “Well, who are you?” the suddenly not so nice lady demanded. After I informed her of our relationship, she still tried to get my wife to “Just fill out the form”. I got a tiny bit louder and told her that she should quit while she could. She left us alone, but with no good grace. I explained to my Wife that “That lady was trying to get you to break the law.” She said nothing, but after she passed her test, got her picture taken, and her new license, she read this lady the riot act, MUCH louder than I was. Many heads turned, and the now not so nice lady beat a hasty retreat to one of the ‘back rooms’.
Just to round out the story, my Wife and I have recently celebrated our 24th year, the last 19 with her US Citizenship. She has only missed one election since then and she votes right every time...
