Jaw-Dropping Study Claims Large Numbers of Non-Citizens Vote in U.S.

Loading

This study’s claim is pretty eye-opening…

Our data comes from the Cooperative Congressional Election Study (CCES). Its large number of observations (32,800 in 2008 and 55,400 in 2010) provide sufficient samples of the non-immigrant sub-population, with 339 non-citizen respondents in 2008 and 489 in 2010. For the 2008 CCES, we also attempted to match respondents to voter files so that we could verify whether they actually voted.

How many non-citizens participate in U.S. elections? More than 14 percent of non-citizens in both the 2008 and 2010 samples indicated that they were registered to vote. Furthermore, some of these non-citizens voted. Our best guess, based upon extrapolations from the portion of the sample with a verified vote, is that 6.4 percent of non-citizens voted in 2008 and 2.2 percent of non-citizens voted in 2010.

(Note that they keep using the term, “non-citizen,” without specifying whether they mean immigrants who have entered the country illegally or immigrants who are in the process of legally becoming citizens — lawful permanent residents, a.k.a. “green card” holders, or both. It’s a crime either way, but it’s easier to imagine a lawful permanent resident mistakenly thinking they have already earned the right to vote.)

If they mean 6.4 percent of 11 million illegal immigrants… we’re talking about roughly 700,000 votes being cast by non-citizens in 2008. Stunning. If true, it refutes my earlier contention that proven cases of voter fraud would only swing elections in races that come down to a few hundred votes.

But this section is fascinating:

We also find that one of the favorite policies advocated by conservatives to prevent voter fraud appears strikingly ineffective. Nearly three quarters of the non-citizens who indicated they were asked to provide photo identification at the polls claimed to have subsequently voted.

Which is exactly why the leftists cannot allow valid photo ID requirements to remain in place. They KNOW they are committing fraud (even while they lie and claim it isn’t happening) and these collectivist zealots believe they are justified in doing so in order to force their insane dystopian enslavement upon the rest of us.

I say again that anyone caught committing voter fraud should be severely punished. First offense mandatory 20 years and permanent, unremovable prohibition on such individuals ever being allowed to vote or have any involvement with anything having to do with voting ever again. Second offense – permanent loss of US citizenship and exile, never to be allowed to return to US terrritory ever again.

These scumbags are stealing the rights and freedoms bought by the blood and toil of our ancestors. Stop the vote fraud now.

@Pete: Which is exactly why the leftists cannot allow valid photo ID requirements to remain in place.

Read the entire study and you learn that, of those illegals who voted (illegally) any who were asked for ID had ID and showed their ID.
THEN they were allowed to vote!
Showing ID alone doesn’t stop illegals from illegally voting.
I think that was one of the BIG takeaways from this study.

When our inept Department of Just-Us was arguing against the Texas voter I.D. law, the DOJ was required to provide the Texas AG’s office with a list of names of Texas residents it had compiled that showed people with no valid photo I.D. Two of the names on the list were Kay B. Hutchison and G.H.W. Bush, a sitting Senator and a former President. Ooooops.

The first election in Texas to require voter I.D. were the primaries this past spring. Knowing the state was in this battle, surveys were done on who voted. It seems that in spite of an I.D. requirement, minorities turned out in greater numbers for a primary election that ever before. So much for the claim that voter I.D. suppresses minorities.

@Nanny:

That is because some states give driver’s licenses to illegals. Texas does not. But since illegals can register to vote using the Motor Voter Act form (thank you, Bill Clinton), obtainable in any post office and handed out by ACORN and its spin off groups, those illegals will not be able to vote in Texas because of a lack of a driver’s license, a passport or a Concealed Carry license or a valid current military I.D.

If states that do provide driver’s licenses to illegals use the technology Texas does (when I voted last Monday, my driver’s license was scanned like a credit card) the technology is there to allow the poll worker to know immediately that the driver’s license was issued to an illegal. The illegal can then cast a provisional ballot which is then checked against state records before it is counted. It is a simple process to eliminate voter fraud which was rampant in the border counties, like Hidalgo County, in Texas.
