[EL] Uh oh, Rick...

[George Korbel]

Well I have been representing Hispanics documented and undocumented for almost 50 years.  Much of my practice has involved elections. This has included election contests where discovery has been intense.  I have never seen a instance of an undocumented person voting. 

In fact the one thing an undocumented person does is scrupulously avoid dealing with the government-- and for obvious reason.  This is true in all of the states where I have practice. 

This is particularly true in Texas where if you vote illegally and there is an election contest you get put on the stand. 

Pure statistical bs I'm my opinion.

E.g., we could have much stricter policing of income taxes, but at some point we would find the costs (tangible and intangible) to be more than many wish to pay. For elections: do we want to institute policies that prevent a number of improperly cast ballots if those same policies also prevent a much larger number of eligible ballots from being cast?
