Carl Higbie Questions Blue State’s Inflated Voter Rolls [WATCH]

Commentator Carl Higbie raised concerns over automatic voter registration laws and state election practices, arguing that policies adopted by Democratic-led states have created pathways for non-citizens to be placed on voter rolls, while accountability measures remain limited.

Higbie focused on laws that expand access to driver’s licenses without proof of citizenship, noting that many of those same states automatically register individuals to vote when a license is issued.

“Major parties who helped get Democrats elected can’t even say that non citizens shouldn’t vote, and using that ambiguity for cover many states like Minnesota signed into law that everyone got a driver’s license,” Higbie said.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz signed the state’s “driver’s license for all” legislation into law in 2023.

At the signing ceremony, Walz confirmed its enactment, saying, “It’s Done.”

A reporter describing the scene said, “A packed room at the St Paul armory erupted after the governor’s signature made driver’s license for all the law of the land.”

Higbie said the issue extends beyond Minnesota, pointing to automatic voter registration systems in place across much of the country.

“Sounds great. Currently, 25 states, though, also automatically registered you to vote when you get that driver’s license,” Higbie said.

“So you, by law, can get a driver’s license without proof of citizenship, but then you’re automatically registered to vote when you get that license and then placed on voter roll. So when you show up to the polls, most of these states don’t even have voter ID anyway.”

Questions about how incomplete voter registrations are handled were addressed by Patti Anderson, who described scenarios involving missing or incorrect identification details.

“So if someone comes in, they register, they have the driver’s license, but they have an incorrect social, or no social, or whatever. So there, then they become incomplete,” Anderson said.

“But if they walk in to vote with their driver’s license, is that make them all of a sudden now okay?”

Paul Linnell explained how election judges resolve those challenges at polling locations.

“Designation on the roster for someone whose registration had been incomplete,” Linnell said.

“If they present the Election Judge with that acceptable identification document that would clear the challenge from the roster and they would be permitted to cast a ballot.”

Higbie argued these procedures illustrate why Democrats oppose immigration enforcement near polling places.

“You see why libs are also trying to ban ICE at polling stations,” he said.

Sen. Mark Warner previously addressed that issue, saying, “One of the things that I think we need to make sure that is included in any kind of ICE reform is we don’t want these roving patrols of ICE agents suddenly showing up at polling stations during primaries or general elections.”

Higbie said such statements contradict claims that non-citizens are not participating in elections.

“They’re saying it out loud ICE at polling places shouldn’t be a problem, because illegals shouldn’t be voting in our elections,” Higbie said.

He argued that Democratic lawmakers have avoided election accountability measures, citing the original SAVE Act and subsequent proposals.

“Democrats have completely just end run it accountability, though, in our elections, the original SAVE Act would have at least prevented any new illegals from registering to vote,” Higbie said.

Higbie also pointed to voter roll growth in blue states, particularly California.

“Look California, 2016 had 19 point 4 million voters on their rolls, with a 39 million person population,” Higbie said.

“Yet in 2024 eight years later, they had the same population, but 22 point 6 million on their voting rolls.”

He said similar patterns exist in New York, Illinois, Hawaii, Vermont and New Mexico, adding that voter roll maintenance has not kept pace with population trends.

“Part of this is because illegals are getting into auto registration, registered mode when they get their DMV certificates,” Higbie said.

“But the other part is that blue states in particular, do not clean their voter rolls.”

Higbie referenced Oregon as an example of post-election cleanup, saying the state “was sued, forced to clean up their voter rolls, and just last week, began removing 800,000 voters from their roles after the election, of course.”
