When asked to register to vote

I already am but another poster on another board claimed this:
I saw a guy from the Democrat Party standing in front of the Mexican market trying to register to vote every illegal he could stop. This is a strategy, not a mistake.

I thought that anyone offering voter registration had to remain neutral by law?
I think this is bogus.

know the people being asked to register were illegals? THere are plenty of Hispanics who are citizens.

Of course, that point is entirely beside the main point
that this is just bogus racist bullshit, as you say.
I suspect the poster you quote is making up stories,
as Freepers are so wont to do.

Yes, it is required that "Voter Drives" must be neutral to party affiliation.

not unless they have a SS number etc. And, how would the poster even know they were illegal? Can he read minds, or does he have some sort of radar that tells him who is legal or not? Want that person meant, is the guy registering people to vote was stopping Mexicans. It doesn't matter if they were illegal or not to him. To the poster's racist eye any Mexican is an illegal one and, furthermore, most minorities tend to vote for Dems, that's what has him pissed. So when Republicans go to lily-white malls, churches and neighborhoods to register voters there, that isn't a strategy? Why isn't that infuriating?

Yeah, technically they have to be neutral, but party members can go to certain places and try to register certain types of people. Like the churches and so on that I mentioned. If the post is true than the person is thinking in racist overtones, if not, then it's just propaganda. That sort of stuff fuels the crazies into thinking that if they don't go out and vote Republican every "illegal wetback" around is going to be voting and taking over there country. It's pretty sick stuff. It also seeks to repress other minorities, such as Indians, who typically vote Dem too. Because of Prop 202 (or is it 200?) already registered votes have to show proper ID and so on when they go vote. Well, some people from these Indian reservations don't have ID, nor do they have a proper address to get one, because they live in out of the way places where they have no names for roads and so on.

As far as I know, there is no such restriction in PA.

However, when I have done voter reg drives, we are low key about our affiliation. Usually the space we are using is owned by an organization that agrees based on us being non-partisan. And I think it just looks better to be non-partisan about it. But I don't believe it's the law.
