I lived in CA back in 2016 and heard that you could register to vote online, and that you only needed a drivers license to register to vote. CA allows illegals to get drivers licenses. That seemed to be a recipe for illegal votes to be cast. I decided to check that out, and sure enough, all you have to do is go to the state voter registration website, enter you driver's license number, and then check the box asking if you are a U.S. citizen! Of course, someone who entered the country illegally isn't going to lie about being a U.S. citizen when registering to vote, so no worries there :)
"In 1996, the U.S. Congress passed a law prohibiting noncitizens from voting in federal elections, including elections for the U.S. House, U.S. Senate, and presidential elections. This law does not apply to elections for state and local offices."

It's legal for non-citizens to vote and it always has been: https://ballotpedia.org/Laws_permitting_noncitizens_to_vote_in_the_United_States
Did you read your own source?

True. In many cities, non-citizens can vote in local elections.
Obviously that doesn't apply to federal elections.
Part of that whole states rights things. Some states allow this. Some don't. 🤷♀️
It always makes me feel like I've fallen into Bizarro World when conservatives argue against states rights.
