No, incorrect, at least in CA. Unless you uncheck the box your info automatically goes to the state controller to see if you are eligible. If so you are registered to vote.

In fact there was some whole big thing just recently where a certain number did somehow get automatically registered…an employee made a mistake…everybody was screaming about it…so no…unless a job ending error is made, you aren’t automatically registered to vote when you’re at the DMV.

My state was a participant in an organization that has been around 10 years verifying voter registration information. Texas along with several other conservative states recently withdrew. Somehow ERIC made the conservatives chit list. I hope they are able to regroup to do the same work.

Before making charges against agencies being as corrupt, one should learn what is it is they actually do.

None, because undocumented people are not allowed to vote.

Not a problem of any significance. I do not recall ever being asked about citizenship at the DMV and I am sure that there are a lot of non-citizens with driver's licenses. (Have you taken a taxi lately?) Residency was the thing they check. My state can accept a tax ID number if the person does not have a social security number. That would possibly allow some illegals to get a driver's license.

There is a bigger problem. While not as bad as many will claim, the voter registration system is state-by-state when it ought to be tied to a national registry and not tied to a state driver's license or anything else. States are supposed to cross-check voter registration with each other but that is not happening by my experience. I fully expect that I might be registered in my old state and my previous homeowner was registered at my address eight year after he moved to a different state.

In the 1800s you didn't need to be a citizen to vote. You could vote if you had gone through the "intent" phase but never followed up with actual naturalization.

"Replublicans (?) still need to fortify our voting before it's too late."

...it's already too late. The Replub's have hitched up to the trump train, but with the wildly unpopular attack on women's rights, electing bozo's like Tubberville, the trump train is just circling the station blowing it's whistle.

    I don't have a link. I was listening to a podcast and they were discussing this new way the dems are cheating.

    Anyone hear of this? Is it true?

    First off, are they having to prove they have auto-insurance? I doubt illegals care to get auto insurance. So there is no need for any documents. We just give them driver licenses without proof of real name, real address, background check to make sure they aren't drunks and drive drunk all the time, etc.?

    So they can go get a U-Haul, go the the border and load up their illegal friends and drive them on in? Or they rent a huge truck and go to a busy area and run a bunch of real American citizens over?

    Why are they getting voting ballots? You know these will be used for illegal voting. How is that not blatant cheating?

    Republicans if this is true, we got to up our game.
Nothing new here ...during the Obama years the illegals coming in got a gift basket with a voter registration inside courtesy of the Democrat party.

Non citizen, with driver's license in California, and I have never been sent a mail-in ballot. I suspect the OP has fallen victim to a tall tale.

Jury summons, OTOH...

Fake news; only eligible applicants who meet the criteria (which includes US citizen and 18 years of age) may be part of the Motor Voter program.

In the meantime, there are over 100 members of Republican leadership in several states who willingly and knowingly forged electoral documents, the equivalent of stealing the votes of hundreds of thousands of people, and you all don't even care

Even the Pennsylvania article clearly states that "The glitch has had no impact on elections, as the number of people mistakenly registered was small". And the problem was discovered and corrected. There have been literally dozens of states with motor voter in place and it has never had one incident where people mistakenly registered to vote could have affected the outcome of an election. Plus, when mistakes do happen, by the time we even know about it the problem has been corrected.

What motor-voter has done is make it possible for many more millions of ordinary law abiding citizens to exercise their rights to vote, and that is a very good thing. I am pretty sure that's also why you don't like it.

So while we have all this pearl clutching over a problem that doesn't exist we are still struggling to bring those Republican fake elector vote thief frauds to justice.
I tried repping you again but I need to spread it around.

Here is the 'proof' people are talking about! https://apnews.com/article/fact-chec...s-872467507455 "CLAIM: A new Massachusetts law providing driver’s licenses for immigrants in the country illegally will also automatically register them to vote in elections." Nope! Not true!

APnews ASSESSMENT: False. The law passed by Massachusetts state lawmakers this summer prohibits immigrants without legal permission to reside in the U.S. from being automatically registered to vote. The law specifically mandates that the state Registrar of Motor Vehicles develop procedures and regulations to ensure that license applicants who are not citizens are not automatically registered to vote." Cut, paste, and repeat for every single auto voter registration state. REST ASSURED, if it was real, any smart auditor, even the Ninjas out of AZ, would be on that topic like stink on crap! But as you suggested, it didn't happen, not did it?

It's incredibly disappointing how easily people are fooled. This got me thinking.... If someone is easily fooled, does that make them a fool?
