Illinois Lawmaker Introduces Legislation to Criminalize Registering Noncitizens to Vote
by Margaret Flavin Sep. 21, 2024 8:40 pm
 
Illinois State Rep. State Dan Caulkins recently filed HB 5875, which would penalize individuals who knowingly register noncitizens to vote in federal and municipal elections in the state.

HB 5875 reads: “Amends the Election Code. Provides that, except as otherwise provided by federal law, any person who is not a citizen of the United States and who knowingly registers to vote or knowingly votes in an election, including a municipal election, shall be guilty of a Class 4 felony. Provides that, except as otherwise provided by federal law, any person who knowingly registers a person to vote who is not a citizen of the United States shall be guilty of a Class 4 felony. Effective immediately.”

Caulkins’s move comes after the revelation that the Oregon DMV admitted to wrongfully registering at least 306 noncitizens to vote in U.S. elections.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
