There is a MASSIVE difference between the word "can" and the word "must"
That sentence is NOT a set procedure to determine if someone lied on the 2 check boxes. It's an excuse for why there isn't one.
“They send over a batch of registrations each night to our office, which are then distributed to the appropriate cities and towns for local election official review and certification,” she said by email. “The RMV has a record of what evidence of lawful presence has been provided and removes from those batches anyone who hasn’t provided them with a U.S. birth certificate, U.S. passport, or U.S. naturalization papers.”
Well this seems like the only policy that has some teeth, although it seems pretty easy for some to slip through by mistake. Turning the RMV into a branch of the immigration and naturalization government service can't be what most people expect as a reliable or competent policy. Especially if there are social justice activists working there to undermine the rule of law.
Still, actual reported instances of any non-citizen vote in 2020 is zero, as far as I can tell.
As expected when there are no reliable procedures that don't rely on discretionary words such as "can" instead of "must"
