Almost half a million undocumented immigrants in California applied for driver’s licenses since a state law took effect at the beginning of the year. The number of applications was double what the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) had projected by this point in the year, according to a DMV announcement. The agency had estimated that about 1.5 million undocumented immigrants would apply for a driver’s license over the next three years.

And yes bob I read your article, it says that only those that are legal to vote or opt out....blah blah blah....


How are you going to know the difference....

I agree, but doubt that it will have any measureable impact on voter turnout. People who are too lazy to register are probably also too lazy to vote.

I suppose this will enable millions of illegals to vote since they can get a DL in CA.

Voter apathy is good. People are slowly recognizing what a sham it all is.

If people can't take there citizenship serious on their own, we don't WANT them to vote.

There is nothing worse then a person voting who hasn't a clue about the issues.

It's sad that a 50% registered voter turnout is considered good in this country.

Shrug Lots of people are getting angry. They dont want to vote because the choices presented won't change anything.

Lots of people want to make it a partisan issue over everything here, many dont recognize that the two party system is damaging our ability to run our country well.

I wish the number was closer to 30% turnout.

I don't want to ban eligible voters from voting, I just think most of them are too clueless to be of any benefit.

Much better to have a one party system?

No it shouldn't. How do they verify that someone is a legal citizen? Bad idea! We already have enough voter fraud, without making it easier.

The Democrats have done everything in their power to subvert the system to their benefit, including fighting voter I.D. requirements.
