They promised us NSA would not break our 4th amendment either...
They make a lot of promises they never intend to keep.

Non citizen does not equal illegal. My mother, an LPR was asked why she didn’t want to register to vote when renewing her license. The lady at the desk didn’t understand that she wasn’t a citizen.

Doesn't really matter though does it. A non-citizen doesn't get to vote anyway. My neighbor is from Great Britain. He's here as a legal US resident, but he didn't give up his British citizenship. He has no right to vote here for National elections (I do think that some states and cities allow green card holders to vote locally). Residency and Citizenship are two completely different things. I would think both sides would want to see this whole mess cleaned up.....

A non-citizen registering to vote is illegal; doesn't matter what their immigration status is.

Right, but they aren’t “illegals” in the sense that’s being talked about here

Mr Molyneux, not surprisingly, has mis-stated the situation.

A conservative group has filed a lawsuit to get voter registration information released to them. They have matched the names of 100,000 non-citizen drivers license holders with names on the voter registration rolls, and need the additional information to determine if the drivers license holders and registered voters are a match.

Yawn. lots of accusations from a extreme right wing group. Nothing factual that I can see. the 100,000 number is a nice round number completely void of any context. And for fun the OP doesn't give a link, instead uses a image to make it harder to read or research for purposes of a honest discussion.

I never quite understand why the left just doesn't release the info if it has nothing to hide. If it's all on the up and up, wouldn't that in fact be justification of your truth instead of prolonging the supposed "accusations" that you continually allude to?

One of the first things Trump did was create the election committee to look into election fraud. The states that appear likely to have systematically allowed illegals to vote refused to comply. Very quietly this has been handed over to the DHS & it's all going to get sorted out prior to the 2018 midterms, whether certain states like it or not.

The UK offers dual citizenship, as does the country where I live, but after looking at the benefits, hassles and costs of going through the application and testing process, it wasn't worth it. I also don't "feel" Danish. My loyalty is to the woods and pastures of New England. I do get to vote in local elections, through, once every 4 years. I vote my conscience, not my wallet.
