How Many Non-Citizens Vote in U.S. Elections?
Powerline ^ | November 13, 2018 | Steven Hayward

Posted on 11/14/2018 2:43:39 PM PST by detective

Liberals and the media (but I repeat . . .) dismiss the idea that non-citizens vote in meaningful numbers in our elections. What is the empirical evidence? This 2014 article from Electoral Studies ought to be a wake-up call:

Do non-citizens vote in U.S. elections?

Jesse T. Richman, Gulshan A. Chattha, and David C.Earnest

Abstract

In spite of substantial public controversy, very little reliable data exists concerning the frequency with which non-citizen immigrants participate in United States elections. Although such participation is a violation of election laws in most parts of the United States, enforcement depends principally on disclosure of citizenship status at the time of voter registration. This study examines participation rates by non-citizens using a nationally representative sample that includes non-citizen immigrants. We find that some non-citizens participate in U.S. elections, and that this participation has been large enough to change meaningful election outcomes including Electoral College votes, and Congressional elections. Non-citizen votes likely gave Senate Democrats the pivotal 60th vote needed to overcome filibusters in order to pass health care reform and other Obama administration priorities in the 111th Congress.

The full article is behind the usual paywall, but I have managed to get the whole thing. And surprise, surprise, the authors conclude that illegal votes by non-citizens heavily favor Democrats, as this chart from the study shows:

They admit that non-citizens vote by illustrating perceived percentages. But that revelation means far less than the impactful actual number of illegal voters that is estimated to be north of 10 million.

The Marxists are using the Cloward-Piven strategy here too. They are attempting to overwhelm the electoral system and bring it down.

This is why I advocate a 100% purge of voter rolls where EVERYONE has to produce proof of citizenship before they are allowed to re-register.

2.96 million voted illegally once and another 865K voted illegally multiple times.*

*Numbers were completely made up, but doesn’t it seem like they’re not far off?

“estimated to be north of 10 million.”

That’s my guess. We have 50 million illegal aliens and their democrat-voting anchor baby demon spawn in the country. At least 10 million. Why do you think hillary won any states at all? That’s right....

Your numbers may account for Austin, Dallas, and Houston. The whole state of Texas? Nowhere near enough.

**********Remember Allen West Loss to Murphy in 2012-—————

Florida Jeffrey Garcia M 2012-08 Democratic primary D Absentee/Mail Jeffrey Garcia pleaded* guilty to one felony charge and three misdemeanor charges after admitting he illegally requested hundreds of absentee ballots while he was running the 2012 primary campaign of Democrat Rep. Joe Garcia. Garcia was involved in a sophisticated scheme to manipulate primary elections by submitting hundreds of fraudulent absentee-ballot requests. He also worked on the campaign of Democrat Patrick Murphy of Jupiter, who unseated Republican congressman Allen West.

A Herald investigation found that hundreds of 2,552 fraudulent requests for the August 14 primaries originated from Internet Protocol addresses in Miami. The targeted voters in the online scheme were selected because they were registered but infrequent voters. Filling out the request form and sending the ballots directly to them or manipulating their ballots in another capacity are both felonies and were the apparent goals of the plot. *Plea Deal: 90 days in jail, 18months probation including 90 days of house arrest http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/Congressman-Joe-Garcia-Responds-to-Chief-of-S...

I’ve seen this study before. Here’s a crazy idea: Why do we have to rely on surveys?

Rolls of registered voters are public records. Records of which registered voters actually voted are kept in every state that I am aware of, and are also public records in many states. Birth records and naturalization records are not necessarily public, but they are kept by the various states’ bureaus of vital statistics and at least the various federal district courts, respectively.

So we have records of who is a registered voter and of who actually voted, and we have records of who is a citizen. Why can’t someone compare those records and find out for real how many non-citizens are voting?
