How would a non-citizen be registered to vote when they're not eligible for it?Michigan Just Made It A Lot Easier To Vote

"Michigan voters on Tuesday approved a constitutional amendment intended to make it drastically easier to cast a ballot in the state. Voters in the state will now be automatically registered to vote when they interact with the state’s motor vehicle agency unless they opt out."
As ridiculous as it sounds, it is one of several drawbacks to Proposal 2. We're basically just taking someone's word that they're a U.S citizen and eligible to vote. Giving illegal aliens the ability to obtain Michigan Driver's licenses would likely just compound the issue.
If someone is a legal immigrant, or an American citizen with certain felonies, or an American citizen who is under 18, they can't vote, but they can have driver's licenses.As ridiculous as it sounds, it is one of several drawbacks to Proposal 2.

If someone is ineligible to vote, if they tried to manually register to vote, it wouldn't work, so I don't see why it would work if it was automatic.
