Because immigration is the federal government's responsibility, not the states. State and local governments aren't the people that are in charge of the immigration system and aren't responsible for enforcing it.
It's similar to how marijuana is illegal federally but it's legal at the state level. Your local or state police isn't going to arrest you for possessing or selling weed despite it being a federal crime, because it's not Massachusett's responsibility to enforce federal drug laws. That's the fed's job.

So how do the hundreds of thousands of work/student/etc. visa holders and legal permanent residents who currently get drivers licenses avoid registering to vote?

The undervote on 4 actually wasn't that big, which was also surprising (2,308,961 total votes on Question 1 and 2,289,028 total votes on Question 4 for a difference of 19,933 fewer votes on 4, so less than 1% of people that voted on Question 1 didn't vote on Question 4)

If you want a citizenship ID card you can get a passport card for $30. Good for 10-years, and counts as REAL ID.

2018's Question 3 (trans protections) won a 70-30 blowout.

Marijuana legalization in 2016 won on a mere 53.6-46 margin, so not too surprised about Question 4's margins.

You can look at the rich liberal suburbs' (e.g. Newton, Wellesley) 1/4 splits.

Reply to Can Boston help me develop a roll of film from the 30s for my grandfather? by twerkitout
> I think it probably needs to have a few frames pulled and processed to get the times right because of its age
You won't know if it needs to be pushed/pulled unless there's a note saying to do so (if there's any notes left with the roll, or something marked up on the film canister). Most photographers who do push/pull their film also mean to do it to their entire roll, so there's no point to do it to a few frames (and you also can't do it to just a few frames - you can't really cleanly cut up a roll of undeveloped film as you don't know where one picture ends and another starts, so you'll almost certainly just cut through the middle of a picture. You won't know until it's developed, and once it's developed it's too late to push/pull, though you can correct the brightness digitally to some extent)
