[EL] Uh oh, Rick...

[Rick Hasen]

I linked to the the story Drudge links to earlier today on my blog. (See 
the end of this message).  I have always said (and say in my book) that 
non-citizen voting is a real, though relatively small, problem (unlike 
impersonation fraud, which is essentially a blip). For this reason I 
have supported efforts to remove non-citizens from voting rolls, though 
not in the period right before an election when errors are more likely 
to disenfranchise voters.

The new study appears to find a much higher incidence of non-citizen 
voting than I've previously seen, and I look forward to hearing whether 
people think the methodology in this paper is sound.  But even if it is 
sound, this would not justify the hysteria and nonsense (and in some 
cases outright dissembling) coming from some of the people you have 
listed below.

    non-citizen voting. I will be very interested to hear what others
    think of the methodology in thisforthcoming article
