There is lots of talk about illegal votes. Liberals are happy to mock the right about voter fraught ... but it is real.
The following article explains exactly what I encountered 27 years ago.
My accent is heavy. Everyone who doesn't know me misses the first 2 sentences of what I say ... because they are startled by my non-American accent.

When I applied for my first American driver's license (again, 27 years ago), I was asked to check the "Do you want to register to vote?" box. I left it open.
The "helpful" clerk pointed out that I should check "... want to vote". (Surely she must have realized by now I am not a native born American?!?).
After a few friendly, heavy-accent back-and-forth, she gave up when I said the magic words: I am not an American citizen.
(FYI: I became an American citizen during Obama's first term.)
The article below explains exactly how non-Americans in the past ended up voting in American elections:
"... She connected for an Illinois driver’s permit in 2005, displaying her Peruvian international ID and her green card. On one frame, she declined to enlist to vote. Be that as it may, she said a representative inquired as to whether she needed to enlist to vote. When she inquired as to whether she “should,” she said the assistant reacted: “It’s dependent upon you.” ..."
