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?

Only U.S. citizens that are registered to vote! Also ID check, I am IDed everytime I vote in Arizona and have no problem with it! I think you can also use a current utility bill as proof but am not sure! Non Citizen have no right in helping make decisions concerning the US as we also have no right in other countries!

Obviously only U.S. citizens should be voting. I can't help but wonder why someone who isn't a US citizen would risk jail and deportation for something that in no way benefits them.

US legal residents, are paying taxes and part of our society, they should be able to vote

We arein a land that is supposed to be based on the people's opinion. In this same concern I believe it is important that those that are legal to vote should be the ones doing it.

I read the article, and all I see are allegations of evidence with no actual evidence provided. Regardless, if you're not a citizen you have no right to have a voice in our nations electoral process.

I think it's blasphemous. Voting is a right of citizenship. If you're here legally or illegally and you're NOT a US Citizen you have no business taking part in our process of government.
In fact, bluntly, if you're living here for any reason and you are NOT a US citizen then let me remind you of something: YOURE MERELY A GUEST. And you can and should be forced to leave anytime you become problematic....
I'll refrain from further standing upon my soap box now. Because this is a topic that I can shake my fist at all night long.
MOST IMPORTANLY: HAPPY VETERANS DAY TO ALL OF US-PAST AND PRESENT.

Only U. S. citizens should be permitted to vote...ABSOLUTELY!
To do otherwise is inviting trouble!

Voting is a right for citizens, well-behaved ones who haven't committed felonies, one that most Americans don't deserve because they are too ignorant or irresponsible to choose our elected leaders. If these illegals, and I stress illegals because they broke the law when they violated our immigration and border protection laws, want to take part in our democratic process, they should immigrate here legally and become citizens.

Really!!!, This is what you care about!?! That a voting official admitted the possibility that a non-citizen might have gotten through the system!?! Forget the fact that, due to gerrymandering most people in the United States live under one party rule. That is because the districts are drawn so that one party is so heavily favored that no one not endorsed by that party will ever win a seat. Sometimes, the level of civic understanding in this country baffles the mind.
