Dems sent 2.5 million registration cards to undocumented immigrants???

[Bandit3 the Worker]

Where did this claim come from???

I saw this printed in a book by a reliable source (who apparently hates Bush even more than he hates the Democrats), but I've searched on Google and can't find anything about it. Specifically, the claim is that during the 2000 campaign the Democrats mailed voter registration cards to 2.5 million undocumented immigrants.

I know some mainstream news organization such as the AP had to have reported this as fact, otherwise it wouldn't be repeated in this book. But who? And where did the mainstream media get its information from?

I'm not saying the claim is true. I do however think it was reported by the mainstream media (despite being false), and that's how it ended up in this book.

Most of those voter registration services were non-partisan anyways, and may have ended up helping Bush by getting more low information voters to the polls. There were of course a few GOP voter registration outfits pretending to be non-partisan that would shred any Democratic registrations, but that's a whole other topic.

Anyways, it's the responsibility of the county/state to make sure that the person attempting to register is an adult citizen.

Without some kind of voter ID requirement...how?

During the registration phase, the government typically has to process the registration. Presumably, that involves making sure the potential registree actually exists and is a citizen, neither of which should require an ID card.
