I think given the experiences of 2000, 2004, and some of the horror stories already emerging, "non-citizens" voting isn't on the radar compared with vote-suppression, and technology that appears custom-designed for fraud.

But please show examples, I would be interested in the scope of ""non-citizen" voting.

Oh pleeeeeeease, the Heritage Foundation???? What a surprise, blaming Latinos ("non-citizens") for everything.

Oh, so you think it's OK that tens of thousands of aliens will vote?

Sorry, I didn't realized that wasn't fraud.

The Bush administration spent five years and purged its own attorneys trying to dig up some cases of voter fraud they could prosecute. In that time, they convicted a grand total of 26 people. If there was the slightest evidence that 'thousands' of fraudulent votes were being cast, it would have emerged by now.

We're essentially talking about hispanics voting illegally. Bush and Rove seriously believed they could turn hispanics to vote Republican in significant numbers, hence the "ownership society" and all that. They never had any strategic interest in anti-immigrant actions.

NO. I am a non-citizen volunteering to prevent fraud. You are the one here who brought this up without any real facts (besides that hit-job "research" you linked to).
