New California policy opens door to illegal immigrant voting
California this spring will begin automatically registering adults who obtain or renew a driver�s
license to vote, including potentially large numbers of noncitizens and immigrants illegally
living in the state.
The only way drivers who say they are legal won�t have their information sent to state
voter rolls under the latest implementation of the California Motor Voter Act is if they
opt out -- which opens the door to the potential of widespread voter fraud, according to critics
of the plan.
�You�re setting the state up for a disaster. They don�t seem to have a process in place
to verify that people are who they say they are. It�s a free-for-all, a process that
can be manipulated,� said Catherine Engelbrecht, founder of True the Vote, a national organization
that unsuccessfully pressed Gov. Jerry Brown to veto the law allowing automatic voter registration.
California has since 2015 granted driver�s licenses to immigrants living illegally in
the state. And an estimated 1 million of those immigrants are believed to have obtained a
license by the end of last year. Under the new system, which begins April 1, anyone who
already has a valid license and applies for renewal in person or by mail could potentially
be added to the voter registration rolls by claiming they are legal.
Linda Paine, cofounder of the nonpartisan Election Integrity Project of California,
said her organization has visited DMV offices to observe how workers handle undocumented
immigrants. She said the visits, and meetings with state officials, left her with little
confidence about any safeguards to prevent illegal voter registration.
�There are thousands and thousands of DMV workers across our huge state,� Paine told
Fox News. �They�re not all trained. There�s no actual protection to prevent noncitizens
from being added to voter rolls. It�s not even that people who are ineligible want to
be registered. They may not know that they have to select �Opt out.��
California Secretary of State Alex Padilla, the state�s top election official, has in
the past maintained there are safeguards in place to ensure ineligible people aren�t
registered to vote. Undocumented immigrants obtain a special driver�s license that notes
on it �Federal limits apply.�
California's license also indicates it is not to be used for identification outside
California, and is valid only for operating a motor vehicle.
In response for clarification of the new policy, Secretary of State spokesman Sam Mahood said
in a statement: �As is already required by federal law, anyone who registers to vote
at the DMV must attest under penalty of perjury that they meet eligibility requirements � including
citizenship. Moreover, under state law, the DMV is prohibited from sending to the Secretary
of State any information from persons who apply for an AB60 California driver license.�
AB60 refers to the 2015 state legislation that allowed undocumented immigrants to obtain
driver�s licenses.
Some argue that voter fraud concerns are overblown. Kathay Feng, executive director of California
Common Cause, or CCC, a nonpartisan voting rights advocacy group, expressed confidence
the new registration process would not open the door to widespread fraud.
