A new municipal ID designed primarily for illegal immigrants will be accepted in Chicago as a valid form of identification to register to vote.

The CityKey will be a government-issued photo identification card available to all Chicago residents regardless of immigration status, criminal record, housing status, or gender identity, according to the city clerk’s website.

Okay, so illegal aliens can register and vote? Jail them for violating law when they do so.

How about a positive spin? "Hey Chicago, thank you! Now, when ICE stops someone and they have one of these cards identifying them as an illegal alien, we'll immediately take them into custody without further discussion or inquiry. Saves us time and money."

"And, is the address correct and current? Okay, great, give us the list so we can drop by and pick them up!"

I guess American citizens should demand to be able to vote 3 times just to make it fair.

This is a method to slip thru the process but if caught they can be deported.
But will they be deported? If not then the process is flawed.

snip

“When you go to register to vote, you do check a box that attests to your citizenship,”
Dietrich said. “You are signing a legal document that says, ‘Yes, I am a citizen.’
But no one who registers to vote is required to bring in, for example, a birth
certificate or other proof of citizenship. That’s something that you check
the box, and you attest to it.”

Dietrich believes the penalty for illegally registering to vote is steep enough
to discourage those who might be considering it.

“The main thing that would happen is deportation,” Dietrich said. “If you’re
not a citizen, and you have any thoughts of ever attaining citizenship,
registering to vote is almost an instant trigger that when you apply for
citizenship, you will be deported. That’s one of the first things they check.”

The Democrats have got the jailbirds covered too.

House Bill 4669 seeks to expand voting opportunities for pretrial detainees in Illinois jails and prisons (who have not yet been convicted of felonies that would bar them from voting) by permitting voter registration drives and polling places to be inside of the correctional facilities.

Similarly, convicted felons are to be afforded the opportunity to be registered to vote upon the completion of their prison terms.

According to the Democrats and their leftist friends at the ACLU, voting is a very important part of “civic engagement.”

The Democrats do not carry if someone is deported tomorrow, provided that the person’s illegally cast vote can be counted today.

I assume this will be challenged in Federal Court?

Don't bet on it. If one voter used the card to get access to a vote should be charged and/or deported.

Said without even the slightest “WTF”?

A number of LIB-infected municipalities have illegal alien invader ID cards that allow them to register to vote. In a Fed election how do you tell who is an illegal alien invader or not? Arrest the heads of these municipalities. Deport these useless illegal alien invaders.

Have the people of Chicago approved the voting of non-US citizens, whether legal or ill-legally here, to vote in their city elections? And what about the citizens of Illinois, have they approved non-citizens to vote in state elections. If not, then Rahmbo has exceeded his authority.

Probably.
And the Dems want a straight direct popular vote so that the illegals in NY and CA can determine who the president is.

This is where the Federal Government needs to drop a big hammer on Chicago, and especially the officials that attempt this.

Suborning of an election through fraud?

Bring Federal charges against every state or local official that attempts this, and that will put a quick end to it. Make it personal to the people attempting to manipulate our elections, and they will stop it.

How is this legal?

And how can you possibly certify the electoral votes from Illinois if the integrity of the vote is in question?

I wouldn’t consider Illinois’ electoral votes valid moving forward if they go through with this.

Dems are going to pay for this IF the GOP have the guts to run ads showing how the Democrat Party is allowing Mexico to MEDDLE in our elections.

Hmmmm. Colluding with foreign nationals to influence an election? I suppose if they do in the open and frame it as immigration reform, it’s all ok.
;

BINGO! And POTUS should say this and watch their heads explode. These same PHONY evil bastards on the left who eventually destroy every community, city or country they run, talk about mean comments on social media by Russians, or Russians trying to “influence” our elections.Yet they have NO PROBLEM with millions of illegals voting in OUR elections for more benefits and policy that is PRO AMNESTY and for the sell outs who will support them in office.
You wonder why BOTH parties jump through hoops for illegals.

Because of the Electoral College, illegally-cast votes stay within state lines.

Not sure that is correct, but not in a position at the moment to argue the point. Would you please elaborate?

At a minimum, it would seem to me illegal voting within a state could well influence whether that state sends D's or R's to the federal government.

At the presidential level a state's electors are equal to its number of reps - with the number of reps a function of population, arguably whether that pop is legal or not.

Chicago allows MS 13 to vote because they are their kind of people.
