Liberals don't seem to know that DEMOCRAT jurisdictions register foreigners to vote
A Russian national or any other noncitizen can easily influence a U.S. election by simply registering to vote in California — just ask Elizaveta Shuvalova.
Ms. Shuvalova said she didn’t even know her name was added to the San Francisco voter rolls in 2012, when she was a 21-year-old Russian citizen living legally in the U.S. but ineligible to vote.
“I’ve never registered for anything in my entire life,” said Ms. Shuvalova, who became a U.S. citizen early last year. “This is news to me.”
A San Francisco County voter log that detailed Ms. Shuvalova’s registration history was presented to her.
It showed that she signed up as a DEMOCRAT in July 2012 and that her registration was canceled in May 2016 after she told election officials she wasn’t a citizen. Her registration was reactivated in March 2017.
Shuvalova was signed up — without her knowledge — by an organization circulating a petition for a 2013 ballot initiative. A signed registration card was submitted with the petition to qualify Ms. Shuvalova as a petition signer, said John Arntz, director of the San Francisco Department of Elections.
Activists often hand in stacks of registration cards with their petitions, he said. Arntz said nothing would have prevented Ms. Shuvalova from voting.
Election officials say they conduct routine cross-references of voter registration information with databases at the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles and the secretary of state’s office but did not flag Ms. Shuvalova as a noncitizen.
The box for “vote by mail” was checked on her registration card, and the county began sending her ballots.
County records show she received nine ballots.
Noncitizens are signing up to vote in states including Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Virginia, according to research by the Public Interest Legal Foundation, a nonprofit law firm that advocates for election integrity. A large percentage of those noncitizens managed to cast ballots, too.
