Interesting points made in the article, including that Democrats were reluctant to recognize a problem with non-citizens illegally registered and slow to remove them from the voter rolls.  Of course, Republicans were too hasty in their efforts to remove potential illegal voters.  Of course, critics claim the proper action should have been to wait until after the election to remove the illegal voters. The article also points out that Democrats seemed reluctant to use federal databases with the most accurate citizenship data that would have helped prevent the wrongful identification of newly naturalized citizens as illegally registered voters.
