I know, it almost seems like a 'set up' so they can say ' gotcha'! for claiming to be a US citizen when you're not. I really think this matter does need to be investigated, especially as newcomers will not yet be familiar with what they can and cannot do and will be eager to try and do what they believe they are supposed to do. If someone 'in authority' who knows the newcomer is an immigrant because the newcomer presented documentation showing their immigrant status asks them if they want to register vote, then why would the newcomer expect this person to be asking them to do something illegal? It is even more of a concern if the newcomer's English language skills are still minimal as well.

I agree. I just renewed my DL in NC last month and I was asked if I wanted to register to vote. I said No and then explained to the lady at the DMV that 5 years ago I was asked if I was a USC and I said I answered no and questioned why they keep asking that even though its showing in their system as non USC and I got that look back from her.

It also now depends with the officer conducting the interview, they have prosecutorial discretion.

If they feel like it they can just turn a blind eye and approve your application, simply deny your application or precede with removal (worse case scenario to which you can apply for relief)

Either way DO NOT TAKE IT LIGHTLY

I heard of cases where the application was just approved so don't give up hope.
