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.

[[I don’t understand why New York needs more voter fraud in favor of the democrats. Don’t they win every election anyway?]]

They are using it to solidify their power statewide from local elections to school boards you name it.

The exodus of the producers will ramp up now. NY doesn’t have the weather or beaches of California. There is absolutely nothing to keep people here except the welfare.

It will decompose into a state without a vibrant middle class.

It will be the wealthy and the poor. Very Soviet.

This was the democrat plan all along. They cannot depend on the Blacks, Hispanic citizens to blindly follow the democrat BS and the FBI,DOJ, CIA to fix the election due to investigations democrats will keep the border open and let millions in and give driver licenses to illegals and tell them they can vote.

Nobody asks for ID when voting. Heck, they even send a mail-in-ballot to anyone that asks.

Anyone that wants to vote 10 times in a single election would find very little difficulty doing it.



In my little precinct south of Houston, Texas we DO ask for ID - and it's asked of every person who votes. Or at least, it's asked of every person who votes while I'm in the line, or in there voting.

What do you mean “could”.

It’s been going on in CA for years.

In California, one person brings in stacks of mail in ballots. One person might turn in as many as 100 ballots. None of the voters off those ballot are present, just the person that rounded up the ballots and dropped them off.

It gets worse....

Los Angeles County has 707,475 more registered voters than there are people of legal age to vote total or 144 percent 144 percent of the total number of resident citizens of voting age.

In San Diego, its 138 percent registration translates into 810,966 more voters than citizens of voting age.

What federal election? It’s not for Congress or the Senate. It’s just for the electoral college, a temporary local office for which elections are held every four years./not sarc

Loophole? Obviously it is well expected; this how illegal immigrants are given the ability to vote. Non-citizens voting for US government elections. Criminals deciding who shall rule real USAians.

"...What’s new is that Dems are not even trying to hide it..."

It is like that with a lot of things like open support for socialism and communism, anti-semitism, etc. They don't even find the need to hide it, which I find disturbing as well.

Require birth certificate for FEDERAL elections.

Trump can order his agencies to require this, and replace all forms. the left will sue, but they will LOSE in the SCOTUS, using NY as clear evidence.

The states’ electors elect the President. He then becomes the POTUS. But each state decides on the criteria for choosing electors, who gets to vote and who does not. That’s why Idiots United have come up with the bright idea of awarding their respective electoral votes to the winner of the popular vote. I hope they do. That way the disenfranchised conservatives of California, Oregon, Minnesota and New York could carry their states.

“...believe they are succeeding...”

I think this as well. Stopping the ‘rats voter sabotage plans needs to be prioritized.

This is not about some “future” election - this subversion of the voting process is being put in place for 2020.

What is infuriating is that they likely think they will easily get away with it, too. It’s a big inside joke with them, as the Veritas Videos show.

——led to?——

Voter fraud is he whole reason, the only reason for passing out ID’s in the form if drivers lisenses.

In federal elections, there must be citizen ID’s to vote.

There must be severe punishment for voter fraud....... including death.

There is no greater crime than voter fraud
