While it's not illegal under federal law, there are only a handful of communities in the entire country that allow non-citizens to participate in local government ballots. I could maybe see it for a school board where the non-citizen is paying taxes and has a child who's education they want to participate in. Not sure of the value for much beyond that...it's one of the privileges of citizenship.

SACRAMENTO (CBSLA) — The California Department of Motor Vehicles announced Wednesday that more than a million undocumented immigrants have received driver’s licenses.

I agree Non-US Citizens living in the country legally should be allowed to vote, after they become citizens.

Nobody missed it, you just like to throw on your Tin Foil hat and start flinging accusations like your Oprah Friggin Winfrey giving away toasters.

You mean when more people who work during the week would better be able to cast a vote.....all for that, I wonder how that would affect the results

God forbid we actually make people prove they are allowed to vote before they vote...those bastards. Why don't we just get rid of drivers licenses while we are at it, why should people have to prove they are allowed to drive before they get behind the wheel of a car.

You mean when more people who work during the week would better be able to cast a vote.....all for that, I wonder how that would affect the results Who knows it might bump it 10% well never know until they do it not sure where the down side would be

weak argument this country never required ID to vote no state required a voter to produce a government-issued photo ID as a condition for voting before the 2006 election funny how that works ,,
to reduce electoral fraud(fake) Brick by brick to build barriers
No, No they don't, I sleep pretty well at night.
