In 1996 the California Secretary of State found over 700 noncitizens on the California voter rolls and invalidated their registrations. and he would like this legislation to help him do that more effectively. Texas Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Tom Harrison reports that 750 resident aliens from Guadalupe. Texas filed applications for absentee ballots in November of 1994 elections. after campaign workers told them that their green cards enabled them to vote by mail. The Los Angeles Times reported in May of 1994 that Jay McKama. an undocumented immigrant. was sentenced to 16 months in State prison for registering noncitizens to vote. The bounty hunter worked for Steve Martinez. a Los Angeles political activist who paid $1 per registration. The practice of paying bounty hunters to register individuals to vote has contributed to an increase in noncitizen voting. In some cases noncitizens have been targeted by those bounty hunters. Every time someone votes illegally. they cancel our vote. They cancel a good vote.
