    Right, that’s what these crazies always forget - register to vote is where your eligibility to vote should be verified, and there are ways to do that without suppressing votes

    Interesting, apparently it’s only since 1996 that non-citizens voting became a crime, and that only applies to federal elections …. Then there’s whatever citizenship law Kansas tried to pass was ruled unconstitutional

    Historically people in his situation were treated like human beings and immigration enforcement of a contributing member of society was civil, compassionate, and had due process routes to legality or at least to transitioning your life without hardship

    So this guy was not committing a crime assuming he registered to vote more than 30 years ago, the state failed in their duty to check eligibility, and he might still be able to legitimately vote for himself
