Through a combination of loopholes and a news media that looks the other way, noncitizens, including illegal aliens, are voting in America\u2019s 2020 elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Citing a series of studies, FAIR<\/a> reported that millions of noncitizens cast ballots in previous years, and there\u2019s every reason to expect they continue to do so. \u201cThe numbers show that noncitizen voting is far from a myth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mainstream media outlets glibly dismiss instances of alien voting, which is expressly prohibited by law. They downplay voter-fraud cases \u2013 including current federal prosecution of 19 foreign nationals in North Carolina<\/a> — and instead rehearse tired tales of \u201cvoter suppression.\u201d<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n When confronted with irrefutable evidence, NPR<\/a> tried finessing it with this headline: \u201cSome Noncitizens Do Wind Up Registered To Vote, But Usually Not On Purpose.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Attempting to knock down a state report that 425,814 registered voters in California were disqualified from jury duty after they admitted they were not U.S. citizens, USA Today<\/a> assured readers that \u201cautomatic voter registrations filed through the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) are reviewed by the Secretary of State’s Office.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n “If\nthe information shows they are not eligible, the Secretary of State\u2019s office\ncancels their erroneous request to register,” the newspaper quoted a state\nofficial as saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But Election Integrity Project-California<\/a> points out that state law bars the secretary\u2019s office from accessing the DMV\u2019s comprehensive lists of noncitizens and illegal aliens registered to vote via the federal Motor Voter Act. <\/p>\n\n\n\n By\nmaking state DMVs voter registration proxies \u2013 and because 15 states and the\nDistrict of Columbia issue driver\u2019s licenses to illegal aliens \u2013 noncitizens\nhave a path to the ballot box. \u201cMost often, they are added to the voter rolls\nwithout any attempt to verify the applicant\u2019s citizenship,\u201d FAIR found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Last year, the Texas Department of Public Safety, which issues driver\u2019s licenses, estimated that as many as 58,000 noncitizens<\/a> voted in one or more elections. The Public Interest Legal Foundation<\/a> (PILF) had to sue Harris County (Houston) to obtain voter lists there. Halfway through its examination, PILF found that 1,000 noncitizens\u2019 names had recently been purged. Those removals came years, even decades, after the illegal registrations had been certified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Similar problems fester across the country. FAIR cited a 2014 national study<\/a> that estimated 6.4 percent of noncitizens voted in the 2008 presidential election. At that rate today, 1.5 million of the 24,640,000 noncitizens<\/a> (2018 figure) in the U.S. could be casting ballots \u2013 and that doesn\u2019t count illegal aliens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n How many will actually vote this year? The smart bet would be to take the \u201cover\u201d (as they say in Las Vegas). But even one illegal voter is too many. As FAIR concluded: \u201cSeveral past elections \u2013 for the presidency and other offices \u2013 have been extremely close. Ballots cast by aliens cancel out citizens\u2019 votes and have the potential to improperly alter the outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Through a combination of loopholes and a news media that looks the other way, noncitizens, including illegal aliens, are voting in America\u2019s 2020 elections.
