    The bill would create criminal penalties for election officials who register any noncitizens, even if they did so by mistake

    Creating a job that no sane person would ever want to take. The people who do take the job will be overworked, since their office will always be understaffed, and they will tend to err on the side of caution and deny registration as the default.

    How about also creating criminal penalties for election officials who refuse to register any citizen, even if they did so by mistake? /s

      I don’t think noncitizens were evee eligible to vote to begin with, making that whole section completely pointless.
