Arcan Cetin is a permanent legal resident, which put him on track to become a citizen eventually — but PLR status ain’t citizenship. So how’d he end up casting a vote in this year’s primaries? Simple. Washington law requires citizenship to register but doesn’t actually check for it in new registrants . If you tell them you’re a citizen, you’re a citizen . Which, I guess, means citizenship is more of a recommendation, shall we say, than a requirement. more than six percent of all non-citizens in the U.S. voted in the 2008 elections . That was the year Al Franken won his Senate seat by 300+ votes in Minnesota; a year later, Franken cast the 60th and deciding vote when the Democratic Senate barely passed ObamaCare. Illegal voting by non-citizens doesn’t matter in blowouts but it does matter in close elections. And yet, despite hard evidence of this, at least one state doesn’t even bother policing its own registration requirements. If Trump loses a nailbiter this year, do you think he might bring this up, pointing directly at Cetin as proof that illegal voting does happen? I sure would.Rasmussen poll a clear majority of Democrats nationally — 53 percent — believe taxpaying illegal immigrants should have the right to vote .
