Confirmed, illegals will be voting in all elections... Get a license, get a vote.
California to register voters automatically at DMV | The Sacramento Bee
I disagree with the decision. I dont think foreigners should be influencing our vote. Same could be said of overseas campaign donations I guess.

Non-citizens won't be registered automatically according to the article.

Didn't you read the article you posted?

Republicans mostly opposed the measure. They warned it risked allowing people eligible to get driver’s licenses, but who are noncitizens and ineligible to vote, to register and cast fraudulent ballots.

Democratic lawmakers countered that the bill included protections to prevent that from happening.

Automatically registering voters at the DMV is not the same as allowing illegals to vote.

There is a process where the Board of Registrars goes through each individual's info, makes sure it is truthful and then confirm if they are eligible to vote.

When Donald Trump loses the election, Trumpets will claim illegal aliens voted. Trump will probably make the same claim. "I'm gonna send my team of investigators to x place". He already claimed Obama was born in Kenya, this won't be as shocking.

Please be more specific. I read that the bill was written to disallow a search for non-citizens.

He's not going to get the nomination, so no worry. It is unlikely that illegal votes make the difference in GOP primaries.

I dont know how they're gonna monitor so called "protections to prevent"... I wonder if they will require said id's to vote? We'll see what the numbers say at election time

4th paragraph of the bill makes clear registration is limited to any person qualified to vote.

Apparently reading is no longer a requirement for click bait journalism.

In order to register to vote unless one has to produce a bonifide birth certificate or naturalization papers along with a legitimate photo ID there are no other means to confirm one is eligible to vote.
