Illinois admits non-citizens voted in 2018 election

Bet it was way more than what they admitted to.

The Illinois State Board of Elections admitted Monday that non-citizens illegally voted in the 2018 election due to the state's new automatic voter registration process.
Agency spokesman Matt Dietrich told WCIA-TV that 574 non-citizens were inadvertently registered to vote prior to the election — and a number of them exercised that power.
"We do know that some of them voted," he said.
Unfortunately for Illinois citizens, Dietrich did not say how many non-citizens actually cast a vote in the 2018 election.
Meanwhile, state Secretary of State Jesse White, a Democrat, blamed the illegal voting on a "programming error" in the state's new voter registration system and characterized the problem as an "isolated" incident, according to WCIA.
Illegal voting was made possible because non-citizens are permitted to obtain a driver's license in Illinois, and automatic voter registration also takes place at the DMV. Automatic voter registration was signed into law by former Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner (R) in 2017.
In response to the news, Illinois Republicans are calling for an investigation into the AVR system.
State Rep. Tim Butler (R) told WCIA that an investigation critical to protect the integrity of Illinois elections, and because inadvertently permitting illegal voting could have swift legal consequences for non-citizens who are legal residents.
"If that person voted, that's a huge problem when it comes to the federal government," Butler said. "That's a deportable offense for this person. And if that's the case, that's something that's on the Secretary of State's office for allowing that offense to happen."
Illinois' government is run by Democrats.

Oh, it’s surely worse than that.
All you have to do is swear you’re a U.S. citizen to register.
There’s even a Spanish application

The state of Illinois has decades worth of voter fraud cases . Nobody cares enough to follow through with any of it though.

Gotta have a birth certificate ($22 in Texas) to get the free ID.

The federal government must make the laws from which the States must abide for Federal elections. It's not fair to the States that have taken it upon themselves to make sure only legally registered citizens vote.
Is it going a class action of strict-voting States suing States that utilize illegal voting to keep a status quo, and effectively stealing power from the former at the federal level?

I don’t know. I think that’s the point... when the states give up their only legal method of establishing citizenship (drivers license and ID), stuff like this happens.
I had to get my birth certificate (a certified copy) several months ago, and there were young whites, middle-aged whites and old whites in wheelchairs, doing the same thing.

That's less than $1 a month to save between elections. You'll never convince anyone that people who truly want [key word here] can't come up with $22.
And if you know someone who can't, tell them for me, they're too stupid to vote.

That’s fine, but in many cases, the free voter ID isn’t free.
The Democrats proved a racial disparity in having the underlying document (birth certificate). It is what it is.

Where is this study, and what are the numbers involved?
