California’s voter registration system is “highly susceptible to being compromised,” because of immigration policies protecting the Golden State’s 2.4 million illegal immigrants, authorities have told Fox News.
The integrity of elections may be compromised by a lack of oversight of non-citizens registering and voting, said Hans von Spakovsky, manager of the Election Law Reform Initiative and senior legal fellow for the Institute for Constitutional Government at The Heritage Foundation.
“If you are talking about California, the state is apparently relying on the illegal alien to tell the state they shouldn’t be registered. There is still an honor system,” said von Spakovsky, co-author of the book “Who's Counting? How Fraudsters and Bureaucrats Put Your Vote at Risk.”
The problem with California is there is no separate verification of citizenship on voter registration, said Charles Bell, Jr., a partner with California-based Bell, McAndrews & Hiltachk, LLP, a law firm that specializes in election law. Applicants can check a box affirming they are citizens, and this is not checked against any other government database such as federal immigration records.
We have an honor system, which is effective for people who are honorable, but is also an opportunity for people who are not honorable,” Bell said. “There is a gap in the system, and we don’t have administrative folks who will be aggressive about looking into that.”
One concern, said Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies for the Washington D.C.-based Center for Immigration Studies, is that California issues driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, allowing them to automatically be registered to vote under the federal “motor-voter” laws. Since the AB60 law went into effect in 2015, 806,000 illegal immigrants have received a license.

It’s encouraged.
Shocked, I tell you. Nobody could have imagined this would be the case.
Well, duh.
It’s not accidental, either.
It was designed for fraud.
I can tell you that the figure for Virginia is way low.
Likely low for every other state as well.
It sure would be nice if there were 2.5 million fewer people clogging up the roads and schools and emergency rooms and everywhere else.
Motor Voter + giving illegals driving licenses = MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD
Imagine a department store promising “we won’t check to see if you paid!”, and asserting that there’s “zero evidence of theft”.
What did they think motor voter was all about?
We saw this coming a mile away.
We were powerless to stop it, but it was a given.
Mission accomplished.
Republicans for the most party were just fine with it too.
“protecting the Golden State’s 2.4 million illegal immigrants”
hmmm... that number sounds vaguely familiar... what was clinton’s popular vote margin again???
Well, duh!
President Trump is correct!
AND the demonic-rats KNOW it!
So I wonder who voted multiple times??
LOL
I hear ya.
Remember, those figures are 2010 figures too.
Today’s NSS Award (No Sh** Sherlock) goes to these “experts”. Captain Obvious will present the award tomorrow morning.
LOL
So what pressure can Trump bring to bear to fix this? This is impacting Federal elections.
Less than a million illegals in NY and only 1.6M in Texas? I find that hard to believe.
