See this notice from the House Committee on Administration. Election administration is a topic that deserves serious bipartisan attention. But it is clear from the title of the hearing (“You don’t need papers to vote?’ – Non-Citizen Voting and ID Requirements in U.S. Elections”) that some see this as an opportunity to score political points. For those of you who may not recognize the quote, it was the (mis)statement of CA-50 Congressional district candidate Francine Busby a few days before the special election against Brian Bilbray that may have cost Busby the election.
