A new report from the New York Post has revealed that welfare seekers — including non-citizens who are ineligible to vote — are receiving voter registration forms in 49 states, including Maine, when they sign up for taxpayer-funded benefits.
“Another ‘conspiracy theory’ turns out to be true,” said Elon Musk on X in response to the information.
The immigrants applying for welfare, many of whom are in the country illegally and are remaining here on parole awaiting asylum hearings set for years in the future, are not asked to provide proof of citizenship before they are given the registration forms.
In the majority of states, anyone applying for welfare or seeking a driver’s license is also issued voter registration forms, according to the NY Post investigation.
Many welfare benefits are available to non-citizens, who are often supported entirely by U.S. taxpayers after they enter the country, and, in some states like Massachusetts and New York, drivers licenses are issued to all individuals regardless of immigration status.
Arizona is the only state that does not hand out voter registration forms to welfare applicants regardless of citizenship.
Federal voter registration forms do not require any proof of U.S. citizenship, meaning that any illegal immigrant who has already demonstrated a disregard for American laws by entering the country illegally can simply lie about their citizenship status and register to vote with very little difficulty or risk of detection.
Earlier this year, a Maine official outlined how easily a non-citizen can vote in the state since voter registrars are not required to check the immigration status of potential voters.
The clerk, which has hosted large populations of non-citizen asylum seekers in recent years, told the Maine Wire that the only thing preventing non-citizens from registering to vote is the individuals awareness that it would be illegal for them to do so.

Maine also makes things easier for non-citizens attempting to vote because it does not require any kind of photo ID as proof of identity before someone votes.
Democrats across the state have consistently opposed proposed bills to implement increased election security measures.

“Non citizen asylum seekers” means illegals, so the question is, how do Maine dipshits in charge get away with this obvious illegal unconstitutional acts?
ILLEGAL ALIENS full stop. We need to stop softening the terminology, they are all ILLEGAL ALIENS. None of the came here legally and Bellows and Mills are letting this happen along with the useless Republicans in this state.
Why aren’t Republicans here in Maine raising a ruckus?
Cowards.
IMHO, as long as we have the state of Maine vs the states of Northern Maine and Southern Maine our voices will continue to be stifled. Also, as Beachmom pointed out, we need strong conservatives who are willing to rumble. MAGA starts on the home front.
In Maine, you must be a United States citizen to vote. If you check the box stating you are a U S citizen and are not a U S citizen, you are breaking the law. It appears once you obtain a voter registration form, you can lie about citizenship and expect no one will check on your status. Not the welfare office, not the bureau of motor vehicles, not the municipal registar,not the ballot clerk, not the agency conducting online registers. I would like to think anyone registering illegally will be uncovered and immediately prosecuted, but it definitely is a rigged system.
This practice is clearly illegal, there needs to be an immediate court order to stop it.
Why the hell do you think they have opened the border ?
THIS is the reason .
Vote this bastard Biden out of office in November or say a final goodbye to your country ,
I am no longer working so who is going to pay for the wellfair payments?
What if more stop working?
More tips not taxed or reported bright bulbs.
Since AGs are not prosecuting hate crimes or violent attacks by illegals, alphabet people or people of colors, what makes anyone think they will prosecute an illegal that was given a form to be filled out? The elections in November will be chaos.
” large populations of non-citizen asylum seekers in recent years” No, the proper, and legal descritor for these people is ILLEGAL ALIENS. We must not allow the communists to follow Saul Alinsky’s order that “he who controls the language, controls the argument”.
We all need to go to the polling stations and observe who is voting!
I think we will know who is illegal and who is not!
The ” fundamental change of America ” is now complete.
Exactly True. California is already doing it. It relies on the 4.4 illegal votes for Democrats and have controlled the state for 30 years now. It all started by giving them ID’s to drive. And it’s done by the honor system.
Are we so far down the path that we can’t recover from the decadence and rot? At this pace what are the prospects for our children and grandchildren? I have to admit that I’m not optimistic about it. It saddens me. The empire seems to be crumbling before our eyes and as history has shown, all empires do self destruct. It seems to me that we are.The people in charge are so emboldened by their success they don’t care about laws. They push what they want and ignore the laws that don’t fit their agenda. What next?
This cant be legal how can it be stopped?
When it comes to conspiracies – the difference between theory and fact is about 2 weeks now.
This has been going on for decades. There has been numerous attempts to modify the statutes to restrict voting to citizens, including proof of citizenship when registering to vote and voter id. All efforts have been opposed by the democrats and some “Republicans”.
Going to the polling station could only work if early voting and absentee voting were not allowed.
No one can “watch” all of that. I went to a watching session where staff opened absentee ballots/early ballots. They check that name is on the rolls and take a cursory look at the signature.
The default position is to assume the ballot should be counted unless clear cause for rejection is present.
“Why don’t you want people to vote?” is the question I was asked by a kindly blue-hair when I was a poll watcher 20+ years ago.
They’ve been voting in Detroit 20 years or longer.
They are hemorrhaging Medicaid in PA!!!
Lawless Democrats WILL destroy this country with their illegal activity of signing up people who want a free lunch to vote for those who give it to them. Democrats HATE Americans. They want the USA to become a Banana Republic. IF Democrats, with the help of illegal
aliens, steal the November election, there will be CIVIL WAR!
@Suzannah –
“ “Non citizen asylum seekers” means illegals, so the question is, how do Maine dipshits in charge get away with this obvious illegal unconstitutional acts?” “
Because there are never any consequences for the traitors to the country.
The BIG plan should be obvious.
YOU… WE…US, are being replaced.
All of these illegal aliens come from across the globe,
bringing with them, their infectious diseases.
USG knows this perfectly well.
CDC is already squawking about dengue fever.
They need to follow up on you, me, US.
Somebody is paying BIG money for this, too.
I wish I knew the truth.
Maybe I do.
I think of the men and women who have died to keep our country safe, then there are the democrats who can’t seem to give it away fast enough.
The democrats have no platform, just free stuff, the only way to win is to get illegals, who want free stuff to vote!
