I know it's great when Dreamers vote. Is it okay for Russians to vote too?

Les Grobstein's huge hog is proof that God has a sense of humor, isn't it?

In the last election iirc, the majority of proven election fraud was by Trump voters not of color, or urban residents. But lets not let that that deter those desperate to get oddly hyperbolic on a non issue in the cities.

But I wonder why are you so dead set to deny our Hispanic brethren their right to vote, especially when your idiot president and his multi million dollar questionable election integrity committee couldn't find clear evidence of immigrants/non citizens (best described as not like them ) committing significant breaches of election law?

And as for who would be in favor of it, I don't think it would be a problem for most here here(excepting Mt. Greenwood and Jefferson Park), certainly not like in DuPage, McHenry or Will counties.

I didn't realize Chicago's black aldermen would be in favor of giving Latinos more power in the city council and potentially mayor's office.

Perfect.

I don't know if that's true or not, but it's beside the point. Do you think non-citizens should be allowed to vote? Do you think our elected officials should be encouraging them to do so? Local Boards of elections certainly can set their own reasonable standards to determine the eligibility standards for voting so the card is also beside the point from where I sit. I don't know why it's any different for you with this either. And to answer your question, I don't see why any non-citizen should be able to vote. Brushing it off as nothing seems really disingenuous when your hair is on fire over a few Russians spending 50 grand on social media ads. Actually I've said to you on repeated occasions that I think it's a single symptom of the real problem which starts with the criminal conspiracy of Trump, the Mercers(Cambridge Analytica), the Kremlin's oligarchs and much of what constitutes republican leadership bent on forcing this country into 1855 and bankruptcy to help those who would wreck this country in their pay to play scams.

And I know Trump was ridiculed for suggesting that millions of illegals voted in the 2016 presidential election, and while I don't find such a scenario likely, the truth is we don't know how many ineligible voters voted. I think it's safe to say it's more than zero.

But it's lost on you (& Chas) that millions were wasted in yet another fruitless attempt to pacify our man-baby in chief because he lost the popular vote by millions even with a criminal conspiracy using stolen information, and yet another temper tantrum arose because he couldn't strong arm the states to further violate the civil liberties of millions.

Also, If you're so worried that Carter Page having lunch with a Russian may have had an effect on the "integrity of our elections", shouldn't you be equally concerned that electoral votes are apportioned based on counting people that are non-citizens and should not be counted? You mean the guy who popped up on Hannity last night whining and finding a safe haven in his bosom, despite the fairly settled fact that he's portrayed himself as having inside Russian connections he's actively been trading on for years. The guy, just like delicate Jared wants little more than a secure, private line of communication with his Russian handlers and then wonders why he can't get security clearance, or other open ears to his whining pleas of innocence.

Translation: "when you shoot down my talking point to where I have nothing to copy and paste I will just dismiss you"

What? It's barely even coherent.

Something something Trump something something hypocrites something something Trumpets! Something something Russia! Derp!

I don't know the answer to this, but can a local election board legally allow non-citizens to vote in federal elections? I know that they can- and some do- allow illegals to vote in local elections.

Wait--are they explicitly encouraging them?

I was under the impression that it would be next to impossible for poor people of various colors to get a state id or driver's license. It was a point reinforced even more strongly with every attempt by someone to say how free, easy and otherwise pain free it could be made.

So now all is ok because the city wants to issue their own ids?

Voters are supposed to be lawful, full residents of the jurisdictions of the jurisdiction in which they vote. How that is verified, I can't tell you, I haven't personally otherwise looked into it in over twenty years when I last changed my registration.

But, if you personally know of illegal immigrants voting, I find it peculiar that MANY don't have similar knowledge and haven't acted on it. There's a lot of Koch money and FoxNews stardom just awaiting that (likely ) fine Uhmurrican.

Non-citizens are still not permitted from voting in county, state, and federal elections in cities that have granted these rights. Separate lists are maintained for those elections.
