Mindmeld,
The Dems want convicted Felons and Illegals to be able to vote.
Another perspective on these two issues:

I personally believe that felons who served their time have paid their debt back to society and should have voting rights restored.

As for the illegal vote, I have an interesting anecdote. I just voted yesterday, but I had to submit a provisional ballot because I was registered as "vote by mail" even though I showed up to the polling place.

So my ballot (which was paper, because God forbid we should move to electronic voting here in the heart of Silicon Valley) got stuffed into a pink envelope. I had to write my name and my address on that envelope, then sign an affidavit claiming that I'm a valid voter and I didn't try to vote more than once.

The poll worker assured me that my vote will indeed be counted, but only a few days from now since they have to manually verify my registration. But do they really? That's anyone's guess.

Now if I were an ineligible voter, I'm not sure whether I could get away with voting like this. I guess it depends on how vigilant California is on enforcing voter registrations.
