It is not just the illegals you guys should be worried about. The legal aliens have far more opportunities to vote.

The only thing you have to show when you register to vote is some form of ID (usually drivers license). Here in Maryland, they will ask you every time you go to the DMV (or MVA) if you want to register to vote. They do not check your legal status, or if you are an alien or not. To obtain a drivers license you need a SSN. To get the SSN you need a work permit. No citizenship required.

When I had my drivers license renewed last month, they did ask me if I wanted to registered to vote. Of course I said no, but regardless, if I wanted to vote, I just need to say "Yes" the next time I am asked. And nobody would stop me.

EDIT:

I guess, my point is, a picture ID is pretty worthless, if it is not some kind of ID that is only available to US citizens.
