They're only required to show ID if they didn't fill an identifying number on their registration form, which can be a driver's license number or the last four digits of their social security number, both of which are available to noncitizens. If they fill in one of those, they never have to show ID.
But we don't have same day voting; there's a deadline 15 days before the election. Those things are checked. If "ID required" is marked on our registration lists (remember I'm a precinct worker in CA, are you?) a voter has to show an ID.
A non-citizen can get a social security number with work permission from the DHS. That applies in all states, not just CA.
IF Trump wants a recount of the popular vote, that would be legally pointless and take a long time, but all these things could be checked. It would be unlikely to change the fact that voters in CA had sense enough to repudiate the neo-fascist, as all sensible people should have done. And we do have a large hispanic voting population, which contributed to the size of Hillary margin here. It should be no wonder. People generally don't vote for candidates who call them rapists and criminals and threaten to deport their friends and families.
