It used to not be.Fuck, what a load of bullshit. They teach in elementary school not knowing the law is not a defense.It’s only a felony if they can prove you were aware of the law in the first place which makes it essentially impossible to prosecute effectively.The issue I have never understood is why anyone who is truly not a US citizen would really risk a felony for one vote? It probably does happen. Would you risk it? I wouldn't.
there is almost zero risk to the person casting the vote.
