The battleground state’s 2023 policy resurfaced right before the end of the election year because people were concerned that it could be used to interfere in the upcoming election.
The Federalist reported that Gov. Josh Shapiro, D–Pa., was criticized in September 2023 when he announced that the state had implemented automatic voter registration for “eligible Commonwealth residents obtaining driver’s licenses and ID cards at Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) driver and photo license centers.”
Pennsylvania now has automatic voter registration.
There are about 1.6 million Pennsylvanians who are eligible to vote but aren’t registered.
This is a safe, secure, and streamlined way to be able to get them to register and participate in our democracy. pic.twitter.com/0R2PgfUZXm

Before the switch to automatic voter registration, the state offered people getting a driver’s license an option to register to vote. However, after the new policy was implemented, everyone who applies for a driver’s license is automatically registered and must opt-out if they don’t want to be—or cannot be—registered to vote.
Those who opposed the decision stated that people who are not eligible to vote, like those who are not American citizens, would be able not to opt-out and would be registered to vote anyway.
Even if a noncitizen doesn’t plan to break the law by voting in the United States election, there is still a problem: a language barrier. It would be difficult for a non-native English speaker to navigate the complicated system, especially considering that the government made it harder to complete the form if a person answers “No” to the “Are you a citizen of the United States?” question.
According to a Right-to-Know request response obtained by Heather Honey, executive director of the Election Research Institute and co-founder of Verity Vote, at least 628,234 noncitizens in the state have either a driver’s license or a non-driver’s license photo identification.
The news source reported that an investigation has been announced to examine how the state is keeping illegal voters from registering for a driver’s license.
On Sept. 16, 2024, Republican Pennsylvania Auditor General Timothy DeFoor sent a letter to PennDOT Secretary Michael Carroll and Secretary of the Governor’s Office of Administration Neil Weaver, telling them that the auditor’s office will conduct a performance audit of the motor voter registration process.
According to the letter, the audit will examine the automatic voter registration system between Jan. 1, 2024, and June 30, 2024, specifically examining the program’s implementation, its compliance with the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 and its relationship to the state election code.
The news source added that the audit will also “determine whether PennDOT’s Motor Voter interface files sent to the Pennsylvania Department of State properly excluded non-citizens.”
Pennsylvania is obviously too corrupt and crooked to participate in a national election. Toss their ballots out! All of them!!!
The Republic started there, and is now being murdered there.
Find a felony to commit that is driven without my actions, system created, that I can't be charged for because the system made me the felon by its own designed purpose by the very same state that enforces those laws.
Loopholes are written into laws by lawyer/politicians to generate business for lawyers.
Federal law bans noncitizens from voting in FEDERAL elections, including races for president, vice president, Senate or House of Representatives.
(If state law allows, non-citizens can vote for non-federal offices (governor, state legislature, mayor etc.)
The 1996 law states that noncitizens who vote illegally will face a fine, imprisonment or both. Noncitizens who cast a ballot and get caught may also face deportation.
When people in the U.S. register to vote, they confirm under penalty of perjury that they are U.S. citizens. Several states also verify that registration against federal and state databases.
Some politicians and pundits have raised alarm that noncitizens could be voting illegally in high numbers. Studies show this isn’t happening, according to Ron Hayduk, a political science professor at San Francisco State University who studies noncitizen voting laws.
While there have been anecdotal reports of noncitizens registering and casting ballots, “the incidence of such occurrences is infinitesimal,” Hayduk said.
There is no “voting” your way out of this.
The PA STATE CONSTITIUTION bans no-excuse mail-in ballots and yet millions were sent out in 2020. They will do it again this year and that’s what repubs need to fight.
All by design.
We have lived in PA since 1977. For the first time ever we are getting mail-in ballots. I anticipate some unpleasantness at the polls and I am too busted up to put up much of a fight. Until someone breaks in of course.
Stay strong and get better.
I think Hayduk’s name means “outlaw” so I would take his assurances with a grain of salt.
Now Penn will definitely go to Harris.
Illegals have their ballots harvested at the border. None of that prevents poll workers from repeatedly running boxes of ballots through the counting machines.
all the blues need is Ohio, Pen and Min and the election is done. Min is a lock because of tampon Tim, so it’ll come down to whose voting laws are the most exploitable.
“Each house shall be the judge of the elections, returns, and qualifications of its own members”
Constitution of the United States, Article I, Section 5
The Republican House of Representatives can adjudicate any matter which may present itself during a federal House candidate election, such as conducting a signature verification.
The Republican House might have special masters appointed by each state Republican party (and Democratic party if it wishes to participate) adjudicate (and validate) each voter and each ballot that comes in by mail or is to be dropped into a drop box.
The adjudications would need to be done right then and there in most cases. That would require preparation.
“Base load affected facilities that follow the CCS pathway must meet a second phase standard based on 90% capture of CO2, using CCS, by 2035”
“Baseload affected facilities that follow the low-GHG hydrogen pathway must meet a second phase standard based on co-firing 30% low-GHG hydrogen by volume by 2032 and a third phase standard based on cofiring 96% by volume low-GHG hydrogen by 2038”
“must”
Imagine what your future electric bills would look like under Kamala and her successors.
Vote for Trump and a Republican Congress to make sure America has a bright future.
“None of that prevents poll workers from repeatedly running boxes of ballots through the counting machines.”
That can be detected.
The House Republicans can ask the State of Pennsylvania to send every ballot, every mail-in envelope and every voter registration list to Speaker Johnson.
