Illegal aliens do not need to vote (per se’), they only need to exist in a captured state database as physical persons. Their personage is then shifted to voter rolls, that then generate ballots.
Any state or federal system that links a physical identity to the secretary of state voter rolls is good. Any system, like the USPS postal change of address system, that would remove physical identities from the state voter rolls is not useful. The goal is to maximize the number of systems that generate registration, that eventually generates ballots.
Beyond the Driver’s License/State ID issue (motor-voter), it’s everything. Sign up for public assistance, get registered to vote. Sign up for state benefits, get registered to vote. Sign up for a state id, get registered to vote. Sign up for state college, get registered to vote. Sign up for a grant, get registered to vote. Sign up for unemployment, get registered to vote. Sign up for any state system and get registered to vote. Get married, change names, change addresses, etc, that’s how the voter rolls expand and that’s the origin of how the ballot printing database is assembled. From there the distribution of ballots transfers to logistics.
Just raw data within the logistics helps to frame what you are familiar with….

The logistics:
Approximately 500 ballots = a file box
500,000 ballots = 1,000 file boxes
Average semi-trailer = 1,600 boxes (22 to 24 pallets)
500,000 ballots = Approx 15 pallets holding 1,000 boxes.
You can see from the physical logistics of using extra ballots, a lot of paper and physical resources are needed. The logistics present a challenge. That’s the conversation.
