Bozita (26,150 posts) 4,000 noncitizens estimated on Mich. voter rollsSource: Detroit NewsSeptember 18, 2012 at 10:27 pm 4,000 noncitizens estimated on Mich. voter rolls By Chad Livengood Detroit News Lansing Bureau Lansing — One day after being sued over a controversial ballot box citizenship question, Secretary of State Ruth Johnson said Tuesday there are an estimated 4,000 noncitizens on Michigan's voter rolls. The estimate is based on the state's access to citizenship information for one-fifth of the population, Johnson said, adding the federal government won't give her access to more citizenship data. Johnson said the results of a "very tedious" analysis of 58,000 driver's licenses and state-issued identification cards found 963 noncitizens registered to vote. Department of State employees cross-referenced those noncitizens with voting records and found 54 have a voting history and have voted a total of 95 times, Johnson said.

Ruth Johnson is what happens when we fail to get out the vote.

Seen it here.Was a great disappointment when most of us voted for a 'reasonable and non-partisan' GOP for one of our state offices. Then Karl Rove got to him at last and he went crooked. Never allow a GOP to be in charge of elections again, not after this 2010 batch.

struggle4progress (66,600 posts) 7. Claims like this, around the country, have invariably turned out to be hype4000 noncitizens on the rolls in Michigan? Really? What's in it for them? We know why people rob banks: they want the money. If they get fugged up enough, some will take that risk for the prospect of the cash. A while back, a guy in my town with a substance problem robbed a bank for money for his fix: the really stupid thing was, everybody at that branch knew him by name, and he didn't bother with a disguise. I guess he got his fix; I know he got caught. He wanted the money bad and took stupid chance for it But voting? Nah -- nobody says: "Damn! I really want to vote so awful bad, I don't mind getting deported for committing a felony!" There might be statewide a handful of clueless non-citizens who registered cuz they thought everybody could vote, and in any election cycle maybe one or two of them vote. Maybe. But the huge majority of non-citizens will know they can't vote, and they won't even try -- because really! what's in it for them?
Why do DUmmies and their ilk continue to bash gays by referring GOP Tea Party types to "teabaggers?" Just sayin'(Sarcasm, followed by my NUMBER ONE irritating grammatical comment ("Just sayin'") Got that, lurker maggots?
