The Justice Department announced charges Friday against 19 noncitizens who they say illegally voted in the 2016 election putting a major spotlight on one of President Trumps pet issues.
Among those accused of voting are illegal immigrants and legal residents alike though none of them were citizens and therefore werent allowed to register to vote or cast ballots.
While far from the millions of votes Mr. Trump has said were illegally cast in 2016, the 19 indictments by a grand jury in North Carolina do highlight a problem that Democrats say doesnt exist in any significant measure.
Those charged include four Mexicans, two from Haiti, two from the Dominican Republic and one each from Italy, Grenada, Korea, Guyana, Germany, Poland, Japan, El Salvador, Panama, Nigeria and the Philippines.
In the case of the Dominican man, he was ordered deported from the U.S. in the 1980s, but obtained a false identity and continued to live here, winning citizenship in the 1990s under his bogus persona, the government charged. He then registered to vote and cast ballots under the false ID.

19 is a pathetic start. It will take decades to get the other millions.
(Hint: if one were to get the bus's arrival, debarking of passengers, passengers walking in to vote, and re-embarking on film, and follow the bus on film to its rendezvous with sharp road-based metallic objects, all in a single uninterrupted recording, it might tamp down on the Dem cries of "voter suppression.")
wtf is a ‘noncitizen’?
One Illegal Vote is one too many.
Halfway decent reporting Washington Times. Except you left out the part where you explain the penalty each of these people will pay.
Off with their heads! Let them be an example to others.

And few states wanted to help provide evidence!
Only nineteen??? Get to work!
If there is not substantial illegal voting taking place in North Carolina why then do democrats oppose photo ID voting ???
I heard the SoS of Washington state say exactly what was not being checked. Kim Wyman was asked how they checked to see if ineligible aliens had voted, and she said they had no list to verify if they were eligible to vote, so she could not say if they had. In other words, they were on the honor system, but she was confident the penalty was so high they would not.
