OK. Here's some data. In 1991, Diane ravitch, a reputable writer at Hoover institute, noted the weaknesses of our national ID and voting systems. She said, in a column:

"When they bought their one-way tickets to California, the hijackers identified themselves with a driver's license, as most people do. News reports indicated that most obtained their drivers' licenses in New Jersey, Michigan, Virginia, and Florida. Thus far, no reporter has observed that the hijackers were eligible to vote in state and federal elections, despite the fact that they were not American citizens."

Note that she does not say that they ACTUALLY registered, only that they were "eligible" (her word) to vote (presumably if they had registered under Motor Voter and had not been caught).

In addition, I found a reference from a 2002 article on Congressional legislation introduced to tighten up on Drivers licenses, which states that "8 of 19" of the hijackers had "phony drivers licenses."

The figure "8 of 19" then morphs in later articles into "registered to vote." I am now pretty confident that we have a migration from "maybe could have" from the Ravitch article; to "actually did" in later columns. At least until someone can find a source for the precinct and precinct list.
