Loophole in law granting illegal immigrants driver’s licenses could lead to voter fraud
New York Post ^ | 06/18/19 | By Bernadette Hogan, Nolan Hicks and Max Jaeger

A loophole in the new law granting driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants could allow hundreds of thousands of people to fraudulently register to vote in New York, according to critics, the state Board of Elections and the bill’s own sponsor.

The Green Light Bill, which passed the Senate 33-29 Monday and was signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, allows illegal immigrants to obtain “standard” state driver’s licenses that can be used for identification and to board domestic flights.

But it is also the sole document required to register to vote, according to officials.

Even legislative sponsor Luis Sepúlveda (D-Bronx) admitted the provision could be abused.

“Theoretically, they could have the ability to vote,” he said while arguing for the bill during a Monday hearing in Albany.

Voters need only provide a driver’s license number to register to vote, according to BOE spokesman John Conklin.

“If you have a driver’s license number, you basically stop there,” Conklin told The Post Tuesday of the vetting process.

Motor-voter laws already lead to voter fraud. And don’t forget the 15 to 20 million green card holders who are already entitled to have driver’s licenses legally.

Easy to get drivers licenses, easy to get welfare, easy to get Medicaid all attract warm bodies. Not the kind that make for a good economy and healthy society, but Albany doesn’t care about that. Albany just wants warm bodies.

And this attracts them.

They’re hoping to get rid of the electoral vote.

Agreed. That’s a solid argument.

At one time, it could be argued that how a particular state ran its presidential elector selection was its own business. Now that some states are opting to give their electoral votes to the candidate with the largest national popular vote, a fraudulent vote in California can affect the allocation of EVs from, say, Colorado or Nevada. That is a concern nationally and, imo, should be a basis for invalidating those states who adopt that legislation.

The problem for Albany is that the outflow from makers leaving is exceeding what they could make up for by importing takers.

That’s why Albany has gone even more nuts with the bribes.

But there is a way for conservatives in blue states to fight back.

If the citizenship question is NOT on the census, refuse to participate if you live in a blue state.

If enough of us do that, there’ll be chaos.

I don’t understand why New York needs more voter fraud in favor of the democrats.

NY gets money and representation from the census. But the real plan might be to register illegals in purple states.

You speak the truth. When I was briefly without work and kicked off unemployment due to an unethical former employer trying to contest it, I applied for food stamps to slow the cash burn. First thing they wanted to know was if I was registered to vote.

BTW, I beat the crooks, got all back unemployment payments and, three weeks after Trump was sworn into office, reported to my present work location which pays a substantially better salary that the crooks I was working for before.

Good point.

This is just one part of a concerted effort by the Left to subvert, sabotage, and eventually destroy the voting process. The Left has a lot to lose because its politics of personal identity pit one group against another, and it is cannibalistic by nature as they found out recently with the charter school admissions in NYC where Asian students were being bumped by black students on the basis of race.

So eventually they are going to run out of people to pit against each other. The result is, as you said is going to be a loss in census, and influence, so they have an orchestrated response, as they aren't going to give up because their policies have no mandate from Americans. They are just going to find ways to diminish the input of Americans with the following:

They are attacking this on many fronts, and I believe they are succeeding. Things like The Secretary of State Project, ballot harvesting and ranked voting seem pretty innocuous, but they will eventually have large impacts.

We need to fight these traitors tooth and nail.

Slick Willie signed motor voter into law so yes, it’s intentional

Repub politicians need to get it through their thick skull that the left has been working tirelessly towards the same goals for decades.

Soros also working on getting DAs in, so no justice.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and George Soros are rallying the troops for “Queer Latina Tiffany Cabán” in the hotly contested district attorney primary race for New York City’s Queens district.

The DSA “army” powered by Soros cash could prove to be the winning combination — again. A win by Tiffany Caban in the coveted DA office race would score another major victory in Soros’s strategic plan for revolution through prosecution (or non-prosecution, depending on the circumstances and what best advances the radical Left agenda). District attorney races have traditionally been local affairs and relatively low-key, attracting little national attention or outside money, but Soros and his billionaire Democracy Alliance partners have changed all that.

The queer Latina public defender is promising to end cash bail, fully decriminalize sex work and prosecute violent cops, abusive landlords and immigration agents.

(HAT TIP MEWZILLA)......there is a way for conservatives in blue states to fight back against Democraps' voter fraud (and illegals voting using multiple identities).

If the citizenship question is NOT on the census, blue staters should refuse to participate.
If enough of us do that, there’ll be chaos.

Why that Nazi-collaborating SOB is still allowed on American soil, never mind still drawing breath, is a mystery to me.

Well, he won’t have much longer, that is for sure.

"That’s NOT a loophole, it’s intentional."

EXACTLY! An intentionally open backdoor with a Democrat welcome mat is not a "loophole."
