How can this be legal in any way, size, shape, or form? At minimum - how can it hold up with any FEDERAL election? If courts have struck down state efforts to put term limits in place for US Representatives and Senators (which is defined in the US Constitution), why would the vote not fall into the same category?
“How can this be legal in any way, size, shape, or form?”
Here’s the actual law...

It’s not quite as blatant as the article describes, but almost. Basically the registration to vote is automatic unless the illegal specifically tells the DMV that they are not eligible to vote.
And if he “accidentally forgets” to tell them, or simply claims ignorance, he would suffer no penalties if he’s caught voting. From the law....
“This bill would provide that if a person who is ineligible to vote becomes registered to vote by operation of the California New Motor Voter Program in the absence of a violation by that person of the crime described above, that person’s registration shall be presumed to have been effected with official authorization and not the fault of that person. The bill would also provide that if a person who is ineligible to vote becomes registered to vote by operation of this program, and that person votes or attempts to vote in an election held after the effective date of the person’s registration, that person shall be presumed to have acted with official authorization and is not guilty of fraudulently voting or attempting to vote, unless that person willfully votes or attempts to vote knowing that he or she is not entitled to vote.”
So bottom line, they left a fig leaf to pretend that they don’t allow illegals to vote, but the fig leaf is the size of a pine needle.
It’s legalized fraud pure and simple.
