Could non-citizens decide the November election? - The Washington Post

Now what do you think about non US citizens voting in national (or any other) elections?

I do not have all the information I need yet, however on the surface it is not appropriate for NON US CITIZENS to vote. How do they get registered in the first place?

There must be something I obviously do not understand.
Party lines need not be espoused. I just want to understand how it is non US citizens are allowed to vote.

And I am sure I will not be the only one who is concerned about the abuse that is potential in such a system.
It absolutely bothers me ... and also makes me wonder WTF is going on with this Country.

If a non-citizen votes (and/or an illegal), as far as I know, that is against the law in all but perhaps the most wacko communities (San Francisco, Seattle or whatever).

Thus, if they break the law by voting, then indict, prosecute and deport.

Does anyone on this board seriously argue that non-citizens or illegals should be allowed to vote??
