Illinois State Rep. State Dan Caulkins recently filed HB 5875, which would penalize individuals who knowingly register noncitizens to vote in federal and municipal elections in the state.<\/p>\n

HB 5875 reads:<\/a> \u201cAmends the Election Code. Provides that, except as otherwise provided by federal law, any person who is not a citizen of the United States and who knowingly registers to vote or knowingly votes in an election, including a municipal election, shall be guilty of a Class 4 felony. Provides that, except as otherwise provided by federal law, any person who knowingly registers a person to vote who is not a citizen of the United States shall be guilty of a Class 4 felony. Effective immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n

Caulkins\u2019s move comes after the revelation that the Oregon DMV admitted to wrongfully registering at least 306 noncitizens to vote in U.S. elections.<\/p>\n

According to Fox News,<\/a> \u201cThe DMV says the wrongful registrations have occurred since 2021 and were the result of a program that automatically registered anyone who obtained a driver\u2019s license or state ID. State officials say they expect to find more wrongful registrations ahead of Election Day.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Center Square reports:<\/a><\/p>\n

State Rep. Dan Caulkins said he\u2019s concerned with non-government organizations, assisting non citizens residing in migrant shelters and are knowingly registering noncitizens to vote despite federal law prohibiting noncitizens from registering and voting in federal elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cKnowingly registering someone else to vote shall be guilty of a class four felony,\u201d said Caulkins, the sponsor of the bill.<\/p>\n

************<\/p>\n

Caulkins explained in Oregon 306 noncitizens were registered to vote. The Oregon DMV admitted to wrongfully registering at least 306 noncitizens to vote in U.S. elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously somebody falsified for them [the non citizens] when they registered to vote and that\u2019s why either the person who registered or someone else who registered for them [needs to be penalized],\u201d said Caulkins.<\/p>\n
