No. No, it's not. The case that O'Keefe is talking about is in Pittsburgh, where non-citizens can legally vote in local elections.
They can't vote in Federal elections, such as for President. But it's 100% legal for them to vote in local elections.
Would be a little comfortable with this (sorry, Pittsburgh) if the ballots did not show any federal election options. Not comfortable with voting locally, though, if they're just 'border crosser' non-citizens. Need to be on approved status .
Well, that's what the article is about. What some of them may be using as proof that they're here legally. Tax ID. But everything I've read up on this says that it's perfectly legal.
I think this article is deliberately misleading people into thinking that they're committing voter fraud.
I am not versed on all of the available status levels for foreigners in US. I met a woman a couple of weeks ago, born in Germany, has been living here for 4 years 'under the radar' with absolutely no 'permission' or status to be here. Someone told her to get an attorney for benefits. $25.00 later (for the attorney), she is on full SSI monthly disability payment, medical insurance and food stamps. For life. Still cannot get an ID (Ohio) because she has no proof of where she was born, but other than that, she has no worries. Her lack of any immigration status never came up. I'm hearing that the border jumpers are getting even more than that as 'startup' funds and then also put on the monthly allowance, stamps and insurance. Absolutely no mystery here why US is in such horrible shape. Kills motivation for the entry to mid-level working person.
