Colo. secretary of state seeks authority to cross-check voter rolls for non-citizens
More than 11,000 registered Colorado voters were not U.S. citizens at the time they obtained a driver's license, according to a review by Secretary of State Scott Gessler.
The department is certain that 106 of these voters were improperly registered because they presented the state Department of Revenue with a noncitizen document after the date they registered to vote.
Gessler and Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, are pushing legislation that would allow the secretary of state to check the statewide voter database to determine whether registered voters are in fact citizens.
The bill, HB 1252, will be presented to the Colorado House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee today.
Texas is having a court case coming up before redistricting. The census has counted the many illegals in southern Texas and the Congressional districts will be changed to include those people. The rural people in north Texas say this is unfair since there are more legal voters in North Texas, most of Congress should be elected there.
Doesn't look good for the suit, especially since the Census has never been based on actual voters in a district, used to be even slaves counted for purposes of representation(3/5).
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
One has to wonder. Someone voted that non-citizens should be able to vote- they should tell us why they think non-citizens should be able to vote. Should I be able to vote in another country of my choice just because I want to?
Our Colorado government will start debate on this issue this week.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: I am not surprised.
