Ohio elections chief: 17 noncitizens voted in 2012

How many legal voters had to stand in line for 11 hours to vote?

do you know why they had to do that?



because the republicans made sure they didn't have enough voting machines in the poor hoods

Don't know. What I wonder is how many voters were disenfranchised by this requirement? I bet that number far exceeds the 17 alleged non-citizens who voted.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Seventeen noncitizens voted illegally in battleground Ohio in the 2012 presidential election year, and an additional 274 were registered but did not vote, the state's elections chief said Wednesday.


Secretary of State Jon Husted said he was able to identify non-U.S. citizens on Ohio's voter rolls for the first time through the matching of voter records and license and ID information kept by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles.


"None of my predecessors attempted to investigate or answer the noncitizen question because they couldn't," he said at a news conference. "Information about citizenship (kept by the bureau) and the elections system were not designed to work together."


Husted emphasized that none of the identified cases involved immigrants who were in the country illegally. In the most egregious case, a noncitizen who was in the country legally had been voting in Ohio — which is against the law — since 1993.


Results of the review will be turned over to Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine for possible prosecution. Husted said he also will give those identified the chance to cancel their registrations.

Imagine if they were asked for identification before they voted??

If they were asked for identification before they voted they would have been identified as lawfully registered voters, given a ballot and voted.

Dumbass.
 
Oh and btw RacistX...this happened in 2010. Only it was about 12 and all but one of those people actually were naturalized citizen who had forgotten or incorrectly updated their citizen status with their local board of elections. That's probably the case here too.

Good point. The drivers license of permanent residents are a different color than citizens in the State of Ohio too, so that's an easy catch.

Again, these are alleged violations. Let's wait and see how many are actually charge. These could be naturalized citizens who have not properly updated their citizenship status with the State. I know that they beat that point to death at my wifes citizenship ceremony.
