If it is legalized, they will not be committing a felony to vote. I
thought that would be obvious.

On thing that has to be kept in mind is if the individual votes and
testifies 
to the fact that the information is correct, he/she has committed a
felony if 
the information is false.  If that person ever wants to become a
citizen, 
they will be denied citizenship because of the felony.  I would be
surprised 
if any permanet non-citizen resident would want to jeopardize the right
to 
ever becoming a citizen.
