I have registers thousands of voters over the last 4 years in 3 states.

1. a Drivers license only proves that you can operate a vehicle, not that you are a citizen or eligible to vote.

2. it is the board of Registrars that goes through your information and decides if you are eligible to vote.They are the ones who verify the information on your application and your legal status as a citizen. Simply applying to vote(registering) does not give you the ability to vote.

O'Malley will not win. He is way too staged and almost seems to talk down on people. He had a person for every situation and they seemed to be "in the audience." lol
The debate audience was invite only. He simply knew the list of people invited(and their stories), what is wrong with that ?

But that certainly shows to what illegal and criminal lengths Dems will go to win at all costs.
Not so fast... Assembly Bill 1461 would allow relevant customer information including a copy of a digitized signature, to be sent from DMV computers to the California Secretary of State, who would certify the individual’s eligibility and pass it along to the appropriate county registrar of voters.

Not only is that not required, the Supreme Court refused to hear a case filed by States that were trying to impose that requirement thus affirming that the states could not require it for federal elections

"The Supreme Court has declined to hear a case allowing states to require proof of citizenship for those applying to vote in federal elections, effectively upholding a lower court ruling against Kansas and Arizona.

Those states wanted the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to change its registration requirements to include proof of citizenship for those applying to vote in federal elections, as the states require for those using their state forms.

By not taking the case, the Supreme Court leaves in place a November 2014 ruling from the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that the states cannot require the documentation for applicants using the so-called “federal form.”"]The Supreme Court has declined to hear a case allowing states to require proof of citizenship for those applying to vote in federal elections, effectively upholding a lower court ruling against Kansas and Arizona.

Seemed like he was doing it more for show than anything else. Just rubbed me the wrong way.

Neither of those policies show "smart people" spitting out those "policies."
Then, my friend, you were not listening but I see you have the 'freebie' talking points down.

It's a little more realistic that Trumps GIANT, BEAUTIFUL, WALL (with a door).

Describes why all that flip-flopping or changing of mind or reversing of position simply proves that the person that does that either does not pay attention to the subject matter before snapping out a position, is frivilous and doesn't think anyone will do anything but take their word right or wrong doesn't matter or doesn't truly understand the issue...in any case, not the mental mind-frame required of some one holding the position of President of the United States.

Registering to vote is as simply as filling out a piece of paper, it doesnt mean the board of registrars will actually approve you. Vladimir Putin can "register" to vote in the U.S.
Wrong! They ARE registered to vote WITHOUT any proof of citizenship required for either license or registration. If one is "registered" to vote, they can vote. There is NO approval requirement for anyone. When I registered to vote, I had to produce my birth certificate. That was the only requirement. There is no requirement to prove citizenship in this case.
