House Majority Whip Tom Emmer and his congressional colleagues are demanding answers from the Minnesota Secretary of State and the Minnesota Department of Public Safety to ensure ineligible, noncitizens are not automatically registered to vote in Minnesota.
Last year, Democrats in Minnesota passed a new law which automatically registers people to vote when they apply for, or update, their driver’s license. That same year, Democrats also passed a law which allows illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses. As such, many have expressed concerns that ineligible people could become registered to vote in Minnesota.
