"I'm a non citizen and the DMV automatically registered me to vote"
"The DMV told me green card holders could vote"

WTF is going on at the DMV?

Colleges pressured him into voting.
He had no idea he wasn't allowed to.

It seems like a lot of this is the system failing to catch them, but others (like this user's girlfriend) are willfully voting as non-citizens.

Even the people who know about the legality of non-citizens voting are still somehow getting registered to vote.

What the hell is going on?

This guy was just given voting rights without question at the DMV, voted in 2020, only to find out he wasn't a US citizen in 2021.

This guy thought he was signing a petition and ended up getting registered to vote, stopping his application for US dead in its tracks.

"Accidental Registration" should be completely impossible.

It is INSANE that people working towards US citizenship are getting their applications denied for something many of them didn't even want to do in the first place.

Voter Registration needs major reform NOW

This problem goes back at least a decade on reddit, likely further.

This flagrant disrespect for voting integrity is entirely inexcusable.

This non-citizen redditor thought she was signing a petition.

When she realized it was a voter registration trick she tried to get the application back, but the person refused.

10 months later, she found out she was registered against her will.

College professor coerced a non-citizen to vote in the 2020 primary for extra credit.

"Why approve me to vote if I am not eligible to vote?"

He was downvoted for this 💀

Without proper voter security, we get situations like this:

Here's yet another green card holder that was tricked into registering to vote.
