Washington, D.C., hosted an online training camp last month to help illegal immigrants sign up to vote in city elections.
Making good on new legislation granting illegal immigrants voting rights, even for those who have lived in the district for just 30 days, the city joined a handful of others in opening the vote to undocumented migrants.
The training PowerPoint, provided to legal watchdog Judicial Watch under a Freedom of Information Act request, said that some form of government identification was required to register.
The migrants will not be allowed to vote in federal elections, just city contests, according to the newly approved law.

The district’s move was opposed by congressional Republicans, but they failed to overturn the measure.
“Illegal aliens and noncitizens should not vote in any elections,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. “That Congress allows the votes of citizens to be legally stolen by illegal aliens in our nation’s capital is inexcusable.”
