That Thing Democrats Say Never Happens Just Happened Again In California

Then consider that California’s already laughably broad acceptable ID list — for voters who do provide something — includes health club cards, student IDs, bank statements, discount cards, and drug prescriptions. Most of those are accessible to illegal aliens. The no-ID checkbox exists specifically because even that broad list can be inconvenient for someone without legal status.

This is deliberate. California Democrats know what their voter registration form says. They wrote it, they maintain it, they have actively resisted every federal and state effort to require verification. And California has also spent years battling in court to prevent federal authorities from accessing the state’s voter rolls to find out how many people exploited this system.

A Honduran national was arrested in Winnetka on Friday for doing exactly what the California voter registration form’s checkbox enables. Essayli said it’s the first of many.

It had better be. Because a state that puts a “no ID required” option in its voter registration form has made a choice — and that choice has consequences for every legitimate California voter whose ballot is being canceled out by someone who checked a box.

If there were ever a reason for the federal government to completely gut California’s system of voting, now is the time. You can’t have fair elections for federal office with illegal aliens voting.
