KRQE News 13, Albuquerque ^
ALBUQUERQUE -- The Republican Party is taking on the state in court to get drivers’ license records it wants to comb for the names of illegal immigrants.


Illegal immigrants with driver’s licenses could commit voter fraud, according to the GOP.


Republicans claim Gov. Bill Richardson's administration isn't providing the names of illegal immigrants who have New Mexico driver's licenses.


GOP officials said they want the names on the driver's licenses so they can check them against voter registration rolls and protect against potential voter fraud.


Nina Martinez, secretary for the state Republican Party, said the group submitted a request through the state's Inspection of Public Records act back in July.


Martinez said the party estimates there are at least 30,000 illegal immigrants with New Mexico driver's licenses.


Martinez said in August the state did release 150 pages of documents, but nearly all of them had information redacted by blacking it out.


“We wanted to have the information in the summer so we could run these names against the voter registration rolls,” Martinez said. “We had to sue now because we've basically gone through all the process where they’ve denied us and sent us 150 pages of redacted material.”


David Harwel, a spokesman for the state Taxation and Revenue Department has said in the past that federal law prevents the department from disclosing the names sought by the Republicans.


A spokesman for Richardson told KRQE News 13 that the Republican Party is just trying to politicize the issue before election day.


The Republican party said it has requested an emergency District Court hearing on the issue in Bernalillo County.
Hypocrits who refuse to secure the border and enforce our immigration laws have no right then to concern and indignation over voter fraud.
Probably at least five to ten times that many, since most illegal aliens have no incentive to get a driver's license. If an illegal alien gets pulled over without a license, registration, or insurance, most police departments have made it to their policy to just let the illegal alien go, often without even so much as a citation if the illegal alien is at fault for a traffic accident. It is anarchy in the making.

Dude, it is completely inappropriate to ***** about law enforcement efforts to prevent crime....especially when that crime is so serious and so basic as voter fraud. Let's be blunt. These are foriegn criminals attempting to take over our government. They should be shot. And so should the people attempting to help them in the democratic party. They are committing treason....again.

Living in a country where 72% of your LEGAL citizens uphold the right NOT to vote, I feel you are looking in all the wrong places!!!! Illegal alien drivers are the least of your worries. Voter fraud??? Set about getting more of your legals to vote, that way at least you stand some chance of getting who you vote for!!!!

Hardly a surprise tho, given the history of the Democratic Party and vote fraud.

Panacea is a bit extreme- were he subject to his own line of thinking, he may not be here today...

No, I had not seen that before, but it is interesting. A link would be nice, for future reference. (yeah, I know you copied it, but there is always the question of authenticity if no link is provided).

ok i'm all for checking the records so that there is no voter fraud,but what i hear is that people who are in jail and elgible to vote can mail in their vote.I mean aren't they criminals and therefore should have their voting rights along with their other rights revoked? all seems fishy to me
