SF spends $300,000 to register noncitizen voters - a whopping 49 sign up
*Snicker*
[SFGATE] the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
’s effort to get noncitizen parents to the ballot box is pretty much a bust the first time out, with only 49 signing up to vote in the Nov. 6 election.

Back in July, the city began registering noncitizens ‐ including undocumented immigrants colonists ‐ to vote in school board elections.

The program is the first-of-its-kind in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, and followed passage of a 2016 San Francisco ballot measure opening school elections to noncitizens who are over the age of 18, city residents and have children under age 19.

The city spent about $310,000 setting up the new registration system and encouraging people to sign up.

But Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
’s election quickly put a damper on enthusiasm for the idea. This year, city officials began voicing concerns that signing up could expose people here illegally to detection by Immigration and Customs Enforcement since voter rolls ‐ including home addresses ‐ could be subpoenaed by the feds.

Supervisor Sandra Lee Fewer urged the city to spend as much as $500,000 to warn undocumented residents that registering to vote could point ICE their way ‐ but then-Mayor Mark Farrell nixed her initial request for $125,000 to get the ball rolling.

Whatever the case, the tally to register noncitizen voters comes to about $6,326 per sign up.

At that price, let’s hope they vote.

#3 Waste of taxpayer's money. Do they not understand the meaning of illegal?

#4 The basic 'tone deafness' is staggering, isn't it? After spending every waking moment preaching that "Da Evil ReThuglicans will sic the ICE on dem" they then expect them to queue up and provide their name and street address to the State,...!?! Laughable, really.
