      In México, every citizen of a certain age gets an INE which is a voters ID.
      Actually, it's reserved for Mexicans alone!
      Foreigners cannot take part of neither State nor National Elections EXCEPT that they are citizens and have their INE.
      As a resident, just like the citizens, you're issued with a CURP which is an ID that can you must have to open a bank account, to conduct affairs, to prove your age and where were you born and sex.
      Also, it used along with another ID to apply for a driver's license and part of the requirement to get a Social Security Number and Document called a CARNET.
      To use the public health system - Hospitals, clinics, government run pharmacy, you need to present your CARNET otherwise, they will not attend to you except it's an emergency like when you're brought in by ambulance.
      You'll have to attend private clinics and hospitals where they charge for their service.
      To access your status, history online of your employment, you need two numbers - CURP and SSN. Anybody having that information can check you out.
      Anyway, it's a bit 'prehistoric' that noncitizens can vote in US elections!😲🤭
      10, 000 of people can enter the US and vote and then leave if they are paid right.
      What a weak system!😮😮

      An ID card doesn't prove you are a US citizen. Voters should be required to prove they are US citizens by providing either a birth certificate, a passport, or a certificate of naturalization. It's unbelievable how behind this country is, compared to other countries, in regards to discouraging people to stay illegally. All the other countries have a passport check when you enter and when you exit, so if you overstay on a tourist visa, you'll be entered in the immigration system and will be banned from entering again for a period of time. Here, we have a passport check only when you enter the US, nothing when you leave.

      @@kseismoloj When investigated, it is often found that some did a mail in vote then tried to vote in person...either on purpose or because they forgot.
      Some found out their ID had been stolen and some radical right winger was the culprit.
      Still, those people are offered a provisional ballot which is later checked for validity.
      Either way, a person's ID is checked during the process.
      In a few cases, there were clerical errors with similar names that were removed from the voter roles.
      And in lesser known cases, politicians had voter rolls cleared without the voter's knowledge. That's why verification of registration is important, especially in states with corrupt governors.

So even if they show an ID, they might get to vote because they can get registered to vote without it being vetted properly just like at the border. It's insane how bad this country has fallen.

It's also about citizens voting several times (more than one time) in different districts (same districts) or even different states (THAT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED EITHER). IF THERE IS NO I.D. PRESENTED BY THE CITIZEN WHEN THEY VOTE, THEY CAN LITERALLY SPEND THE DAY VOTING OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND NOBODY CAN STOP THEM FROM VOTING DOZENS OF TIMES (HUNDREDS OF TIMES) WHICH SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED EITHER.

      true. A few years ago I took a contract job in WA for 1 year. I left TX but still had my house there and was paying property taxes etc. When I went to WA I changed residence and got a WA driver license (all they did to the TX license was punch a hole in it). Later on I received a WA voter card and was on the voting ballot. I voted. I took leave and went to TX and My voting card was in the mail box and I was on the voting ballot. No I did Not vote. But I am very sure that I could have. Something is seriously wrong with our system, and I believe that it is done purposely.

Some states took weeks before they could certified the election. After the election voting ballots were found that was never delivered. When we had no early voting same day voting at your local precinct, only mail-in ballots for the military, the elderly and those with medical conditions, we did not have these problems.

      ​@@braddouglas7839I know I had to teach my stepson how to read an analog clock. Cuz the only digital clock I had what's on the microwave. He was 12 I would have taught him younger but I didn't know he couldn't read a analog clock. He couldn't read cursive he could not read cursive.

    In no other country that I can think of will they allow a non-citizen to vote in an election. I'd say that this is common sense but, as I've noted for a number of years, common sense isn't that common.

    It’s too easy for non-citizen immigrants to vote in this country. Non-citizens can get state id’s or a drivers license. If you have that, and check ‘yes’ on the box on the form that asks if you are a u.s. citizen, and give an address, you can register to vote.
