Now, I don't know how I feel about the particular person in this article, but this bothers me:
Quote:
But Keathley said the clerk saw her Filipino passport as part of the application for the state identification card. She figured that if a state employee offered her the opportunity to register, it must be all right.
The state says its employees are prohibited by federal law from seeking confirmation of citizenship before registering people to vote.

There are no records kept to accurately reflect the size of the problem.

1) There is a federal law preventing state employees from seeking confirmation of citizenship before registering people to vote? Are you f***ing kidding me?
2) "There are no records kept to accurately reflect the size of the problem." Politicians order studies and pass laws about keeping records all day long. The simple fact that they "there are no records kept" tells me that politicians simiply are not interested in the answer. They'd rather get votes from non-US citizens than to serve the people they are supposed to.
