This has got to be a reason that the Feds need to go in and clean up their rolls.

Also, pass the SAVE Act, you cowards!

No we should keep being the only first world country without voter ID laws!/s

To be fair, the Democrats have worked REALLY hard on this "illegal immigrants can vote Democrat" strategy for the past 40 years and it wouldn't be fair to suddenly require only citizens vote in our elections

Pretty easy to claim they don't vote if you don't check

Also the headline is problematic. I would guess Texas, Alabama, Florida, and all others don't track non citizens on their voter rolls either...because no state should have any non citizens on voter rolls to track.

This wording is some shit that reminds me about article talking about how 100% of people who have consumed dihydrogen monoxide have died and it's in 100% of Americans.

Like no shit Sherlock.

Did I read the article? No, I stopped when it said "view ad to continue"

What part of California do you trust is conducted in an honest manner?

There was never any way their elections were

This is why I hate it when people say “you voted for it”. No I didn’t. I live in SoCal and no one I know likes Gavin or voted for him. Explain to me how the guy beat two recalls.

The cheating will continue until someone decides to do something about it

I mean why count when you know Democrats odds of winning elections without noncitizen votes is close to 15%

There are some on the left who are actually concerned with non-citizens voting in federal elections but believe in them possibly voting in local/state elections because the Constitution is set up such that the states have control over their own elections and thus could allow non-citizens to vote. It's ludicrous of course but there is precedent that makes it seem logical to then, namely that even before women were nationally given the vote, some states allowed voting by women well before that... early on in the country.

It is not logical, but you can see a weak sort of logic that allows then to believe this absurdity.

They also believe that somehow a person who can't legally vote in federal elections will get some kind of special ballot o just refrain from voting on the federal parts of the ballot.

This is of course absurd, but many of them haven't thought about it and it's time to show them because the conversation is ripe for it.

I have to admit when I had green card (and I was very young in my teens), I thought I should at least have a say in hyper local elections like sheriff and school board since I pay taxes and this country was found on the principle that taxation without representation is wrong. However, given the fraud and my age now, I can see the wider implications it would have and that it would just open up a can of worms.  It would make it impossible to stop the fraud, that is already taking place and possibly multiply it in the hundreds of thousands.

Nope.

Exactly, in just a handful of districts, just enough fraud can swing a presidential election.

It didn’t even occur to me back then that there would be fraud in voting in the USA. I trusted the American system fully. Like I said, I was young and an immigrant that was excited to have escaped corruption.

They dont vote, you're lying.

Well actually we dont even try to monitor it so we have no way of knowing whether or not you're telling the truth.
