“1) as we’ve seen, with out current system there’s no distinguishing legalized non-citizen votes at the voting booth...”
I think you don’t understand how voters are qualified to vote. Not just anyone can show up to vote on election day. There is a voter list for that precinct at every polling place. If the person’s name is not on the list, that person cannot vote. If he/she demands to vote, they vote a “Provisional” ballot which is examined by the Early Voting Ballot Board the day after the election, and the ballot would be thrown out then.
I was the judge of our Early Voting Ballot Board for ten years, and we never approved any Provisional Ballot as they weren’t on that precinct’s voter list OR they voted in the wrong precinct (both of those situations would require voting a Provisional Ballot).
In Texas, no voter is approved to be on the voter list UNTIL the name is sent to the Texas Secretary of State, Elections division, to be approved or not as a legal citizen. A report is sent to the county officer responsible for the voter list, and only then is the voter put on the list if the state elections division reports that voter is a legal citizen.
Big whoop—I understand it clearly. You can’t sign up for government benefits, which a majority of illegals get currently, without being strong-armed to register to vote.
Then, at the voting booth, even if it is a state that requires photo id, “legalized” illegals are increasingly good to go.
There’s a reason that 6% of illegals have already been found to have voted—illegally, of course.
