The number of proven cases of non-citizen voting is very small. The number of proven cases of entrenched political interests trying to suppress voting by people who might vote against them is large. It's a regular corrupt practice, and deserves to be exposed and cleaned up. This is a great piece of investigative reporting. There is indeed reason for concern. About voter suppression. "You don't speak for me" is regarded by SPLC as a FAIR front group, and FAIR is ranked as a hate group. Think about that.

The myth of "illegal immigrants voting" is another right-wing conspiracy cooked up to make people pass harsher voter ID laws that disenfranchise mainly poor people who don't always have ID. Why? Simple: the cost isn't worth the crime. Voting without status is a crime punishable by deportation, and one little vote is not worth risking getting deported for anyone. People who are working in this country without papers are usually here because they're desperately trying to provide for their families, so why would they risk everything to cast a ballot? Doesn't add up. Voter fraud… meaning voter suppression.

"...a few admitted to be illegal aliens and voting illegally..." So which is it? Massive or a few? Voter fraud is all but a an imaginary crime in the heads of right wingnuts. They have spent millions (yes, Attorney General Greg Abbott, I'm talking about you) on investigations and have come up with a handful of misdemeanors based on minor technicalities. On the other hand, voter suppression is still a serious problem among the poor and minorities. “There is massive illegal voter fraud taking place…”

With Democratic officials Racketeering this illegal immigrant population high jacking our Democracy, instead of chanting the British are coming we need to ask for the federal government to investigate due to the fact the State of Oregon admitted to issuing fake ID's to Oregon illegal immigrants, some who work at the local pizza palor Galluci's or Mazatlan, or Spanish head, and a few admitted to be illegal aliens and voting illegally in these election. So there. Among the illegal hispanic community our electoral power in places of Hillsboro is called little Mexico. Where is ICE when you need them? These are not new Americans but Illegal aliens. They shall not have a say in our Democracy. End of story. There is massive illegal voter fraud taking place as we know it.

Where do you get off promoting illegal voter fraud from foriegn criminal nationals in order to steal our Democracy by using illegal racial ethnicity? You are a bigot, sir. What about my legal hispanic vote? Does that not matter? I know millions of legal hispanics outraged by this open border illegal criminal agenda in order to socialize everything, and do away completely with our freedom. You ought to be a shamed of yourself spewing this hate, and lying propaganda. Voter fraud is stealing this election! Si Se Puede. Yes we can take back our Country.

Just found out that I was denied because my application was incomplete. They are saying my name was submitted as middle name as last, last name as first and first name as middle. Well I have a copy that I printed on my computer and all of my information was submitted correctly. I even submitted my drivers license when I turned in the application in person. Of course I'm a democrat and registered at Bettencourts office.I may not be able to vote Tuesday. Mad as hell. I googled voter registration problems and came here.
