First of all, I hope I know the answer to this question, but one never knows, so I'm asking.
Today, in the "People's Republic of Maryland," this story broke: Non-citizens may be voting (http://www.wtop.com/46/3732751/Md-official-Noncitizens-may-be-voting). I believe it's a valid concern and something should be done to stop it.
What do you think?

This is a no brainer, but apparently there are a lot of no brainers out there. Along with the ones who do not want you to have ID to prove who you are. What? It is not taking away the rights of anyone by asking for ID. Really? Some of the craziest things can be heard. I know there are millions of undocumented people in the country, why is so hard to fix the boarder first then the ones that have been here can work on their citizenship. But, until it is fixed, it is like a broken damn wherever the opening is smallest they flow faster, but they will not stop. State votes have their own rules and national votes have their own, some are just weird. Look into them. It will blow your mind in some places. Wow!

Let's take it up a notch, you can only vote if you are or have served in the military and in order to be a citizen, military service or another type of civil service is required.

First of all, I hope that a CW5 is not falling for and perpetuating this crap/myth. If so, he shouldn't be a CW5. Non-citizens are not allowed to vote in any state in any election that I know of. That is not to say there may not be the odd (1 or 2) who are able to sneak in and do so, or who are mistaken about their citizenship status. Citizenship status is difficult to check, but is not a very big issue. The concern, just like other alleged voting fraud, is extremely minimal and should not be of concern generally. This is right wing/Koch brothers/Fox News tripe, and is way too influential in today's military in my opinion. Leadership is supposed to educate against such myths and not perpetuate them. And a CW5 calling it the "People's Republic of Maryland" on a public forum is conduct unbecoming in my mind. Even the plaintiff's attorney in this case dropped the case because he knew it had no merit.

Chief: it's a Scottish term, Scotland is the land of my people. I'll be sure to pepper my posts with more Scot-glish.

My down vote for you comes from you attacking a new source that wasn't even sited, and the second down vote is for your complete utter bald faced lie that you were not personally mentioning CW5 Montgomery. You did not fool anyone with "Rally Point, CW5 Montgomery, and others, I did not attack CW5 Montgomery personally".

I'm an out of the closet liberal Major, I'll talk do you. What do you want to talk about? Maybe we can start with the "PC" thing. To date, I still do not know what PC actually means.

Come on guys, let's stay in formation. It is the right of EVERY tax payer to vote, even if they are not US citizens. I read one post that noted that it is "illegal" for illegals to vote and, if they get caught, could face deportation. Are we serious? They are illegally in this country. If they get caught buying a soda, they face possible deportation.
