Well, yes – “unable to quantify” until registered voters’ names can be matched against the federal database – at which time SOS Gessler will be ABLE to quantify the problem.

In fact, the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 requires that DHS-USCIS respond to inquiries from federal, state, and local agencies seeking to verify or determine the citizenship or immigration status of any individual within the jurisdiction of the agency *for any purposes authorized by law*. And that would include maintenance of the state’s voter registration rolls.

Note to Ms. Nunez: Chuck Schumer wants his talking points back when you’re done with them.
