TX Gov. Greg Abbott Responds to O’Keefe Undercover Video Showing Non-Citizens Voting
Gateway Pundit ^ | November 6, 2018 | Cristina Laila

Posted on 11/06/2018 10:43:57 PM PST by Turtleman

Project Veritas dropped an undercover video earlier Tuesday showing election officials admitting “tons” of non-citizens are voting in Texas.

O’Keefe’s undercover video caught the attention of Texas Governor Gregg Abbott. “This will be investigated,” Abbott said of the non-citizens being encouraged to vote by election officials.

In the video, a Project Veritas undercover journalist asked a Texas election official if her “DREAMer” boyfriend can vote as long as he is registered to vote and has a driver’s license.

“Yeah okay” the election official responded.

“If he has his ID that’s all he needs. If he’s registered,” the election official said of a potential DACA voter.

“Right. It doesn’t matter that he’s not a citizen?” the PV journalist asked, adding, “I saw some mess on the internet that it’s not legal for him to vote because…”

“No. Don’t pay any attention to that. Bring him up here,” the Texas election official said.

When the Project Veritas journalist pressed the election official about her ‘DREAMer’ boyfriend and asked if there is an “issue with DACA people voting,” the election official responded, “No, you tell him no, we got a lot of ’em.”

20 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. I’m certain that NONE of them voted yesterday. Anywhere.

What disturbed me is that the polling official,asked me if I wanted English or Spanish. Are you kidding me? Who doesn’t know enough English to vote? I’m tired of living in North Mexico.

In my county we have electronic voting machines where the voter selects English or Spanish. Election officials wouldn’t know if someone wanted a Spanish ballot unless the voter asked for personalized help with the voting machine.

“Tons of DACA voters” Yeah, like anyone will do anything to correct and punish this. Heard on FR there were 2 Beto buses headed to vote with illegals. Was Box 13 sent down to collect caravan ballots?

It won’t happen but we need to close the border to ALL immigration until every last illegal and visa overstay has been deported. Forget fining their employers but put them straight into prison and (along the lines of drug dealers) close their companies. Imprison everyone who’s aiding and abetting them - priests, do gooders, schools, hospitals, landlords, etc. Stop ALL welfare and government freebies.

Strange how these private organizations can dig this stuff out with ease while our government remains ignorant.
Isn’t it!!

...because it is hard (expensive) to prove.

Get rid of mail in ballots - I’m pretty sure that those that aren’t able to get to the polls are equally D or R, there’s no party advantage.

Purge the voter rolls of the dead etc..

Require ID.

Require proof of citizenship when registering.

Get rid of automatic registration.

...the “voter registration drives”, almost always be D’s, gets the names, addresses, and signatures of people not likely to vote - just mail it in.

Until all of that is done, fraud is too easy and on an individual case by case basis it is hard to prove and may only be a single illegal vote. The consequences aren’t severe enough for fraud.

She was being extra helpful since it was a slow time and she did the prompt for me. If you can’t read enough English to vote, sayonara amigo. My company has all the stupid EEOC posters in the break room that no one reads. They are all printed in Spanish. Why would we hire someone who doesn’t speak the language of the land?

I wonder how many illegals voted in all these elections, and whether we lost any races because of it. This is just one video, and you know it's happening on a much larger scale. We had illegal DACA “kids” volunteering for democrats, and I'm sure some voted. We know this kind of fraud happens, but we don't know the extent of it. There needs to be a crackdown on all fraud. It doesn't matter if it was the deciding factor in a race or not, because it might be next time. It has to be stopped by making examples out of all the criminal scumbags involved, and giving them the maximum prison sentence possible. MAGA!

If this is the reason then it shouldn’t stand. We don’t have to accept fraud. It should be looked into nationwide. I’m sick of having to win by a larger percentage than we should just to overcome fraud.

“this kind of fraud happens” is the reason behind the “Russian” accusation. Don’t look over here!

Can anyone tell me how to prove citizenship? And don’t say birth certificate because I know many people who don’t have a copy of their birth certificate.

I've had people make the argument to me, "Well, we just need to win by a big enough margin to overwhelm the fraud." But I say, that is totally undemocratic (small "d"), because it requires the victim of the fraud to achieve not just a majority, but a supermajority, to win elective office. And, worse, there is no limit to how large that supermajority must be. Just keep piling on the fraud, and it requires an ever-increasing supermajority to "win". That isn't how it should be.

Then they need to get one. I had a heck of a time getting mine, but I did it.

Adam Schiff heading intelligence committee, undoing Nunes work and investigating Trump/Russia, Maxine heading financial committee and promising to bring down Wall Street; those are just two things I don’t like about this. Maybe they won’t succeed in anything, but they will waste time and money, and spread vicious lies about Trump for the next two years.

This ain’t nothing new. I believe ineligible voters helped defeat one of the most conservative members of Congress 20 years ago.

"There just wasn’t a flood of non-citizens trying to vote, "

The only way you could determine that with any high degree of certainty, is if you asked for...and verified their birth certificate (or naturalization document).

A drivers license can be fraudulently obtained with relative ease. And don't forget, CA gives them out to illegals. They can then use that CA drivers license to apply for a license in another state.
