The Austin Post-Bulletin reports that the three non-citizens who illegally voted, “Jacob Awuol Barac and brothers William and Braulio Manzano all filled out same-day registration forms incorrectly, which slipped by election judges, before casting their ballots. All three checked the box saying they were not citizens of the United States before filling out the rest and signing the portion that says they were, in fact, U.S. citizens.” 

Shrewder fraudsters might not have checked the non-citizen box (a safeguard ACLU Michigan’s Kary Moss decried as a “cynical voter suppression tactic”) and thus “slipped by” undetected before and after the fact.  Just how many ineligible people have illegally cast votes by abusing same day registration is unknown.  What is known is that it can be, and has been, done.
