To the PC crowd, even though the term appears to be grammatically incorrect, it's seen as a less offensive term.
Dumb, I know. ;)

eta: I'll concede that the term is used in legal documents.

By Timothy Meads -- On Friday January 25, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that 95,000 individuals registered to vote in the Lone Star State have been identified as "Non-US Citizens," meaning they are illegally registered to vote. Further evidence brought forth by Texas Secretary of State David Whitely confirms that 58,000 of these individuals have broken the law and voted in "one or more" recent elections.... “Every single instance of illegal voting threatens democracy in our state and deprives individual Texans of their voice," AG Paxton said in a statement. "My Election Fraud Unit stands ready to investigate and prosecute crimes against the democratic process when needed." According to a press release issued by the Attorney General's office, while non-US citizens are legally allowed to obtain driver's licenses and other forms of ID, "only citizens are eligible to vote." Furthermore, the Sec. of State's office notes that "Voting in an election in which the person knows he or she is not eligible to vote is a second-degree felony in the State of Texas. "
"Nothing is more vital to preserving our Constitution than the integrity of our voting process, and my office will do everything within its abilities to solidify trust in every election in the state of Texas. I applaud Secretary of State Whitley for his proactive work in safeguarding our elections," AG Paxton added.

Why isn't this breaking news by the biased MSM? Indeed, the Progressive Marxist Socialist Leftist media wont cover for one simple reason.... they are Democrats.
The Texas investigation is just scratching the surface. What are the odds that 100% of them voted Democratic? And how many are in the States of CA, NY, IL, FL, WA and OR?
The PMS Dem Left want wide Open Border without protection while They Fortify heir Own Mansions with Tall Walls. Others probably are Drug and Human Trafficking for Profits. Like Hillary they`ll do anything for Profits Their Sole motivation to be in Politics, even Importation of Violent Criminals are big Money Makers for Attorneys in every Specialty.

At least Texas has an number, California's Secretary of States says he has no idea
 
"The dates in which the 58,000 voted range from 1996-2018,"

So, 58,000 over a twenty year period. My Lord, the sky is falling!!

By the way!!

1.4 MILLION ex-felons just won the right to vote in Florida, over a world class hissy fit by Republicans.
Red Republican Florida is dead in the water.
The liberal demographics are only going to get worse for them as time goes by and more and more angry old white Republicans die off and are not replaced by young angry pissed off white Republicans.

Maybe the Republicans should have made their peace with people who had served their time and cleansed their sins. :lamo

OMG --- 1.4 MILLION ex-felons voting??? OMG OMG OMG!!!

My guess is a lot of them are going to vote Democrat - hahahahahaha!!!
 
If I have heard it once I’ve heard it a thousand times from illegals, “Sure I’ll mow your lawn, but what I really want to do is vote. Here, take my name and address and give it to your government.”

Just to be clear, the actual number of known cases of "voter fraud" is zero (0) over 22 years. No charges, no convictions.

Don't you guys have enough to get poutraged about without pulling stuff out of your butts?


edit- Just for context, if the worst-case were true, it would mean that about 1/2 of 1% of votes in last year's governor election were ineligible.

"But Democrats and voting rights advocates were skeptical of the state’s claims. More than 8.3 million people voted in the Texas governor’s race last year, which means that even if all 58,000 people who voted were, in fact, found to be noncitizens and voted in 2018 — a claim that no state official has made — they would have amounted to only 0.69 percent of all votes that were cast."

The spin attempts were actually suggested in the article. That's convenient. So the predictable liberal response to 58,000 illegal votes cast is going to be apathy, which is of course predictable. You guys lie & lie & lie until your lie is exposed, then you say 'who cares?' The same thing happened with the '11 million illegals' figure being replaced with better data from Yale researchers, who found evidence of 22 million. Lie & lie & lie, then toss out a 'who cares?' and walk away.

The known number of cases of voter fraud is zero.

They're making a huge claim here - 10s of thousands of illegal votes cast in Texas. Seems like they'd be proud to share the methodology to legitimize this number. Why would a legitimate effort not volunteer it?

1: Last I knew Republicans were not in sole control of Texas. There are many blue cities in Texas. So any "incompetence" is probably due to both sides.

2: And yeah, most illegals would vote democrat so getting rid of their votes could be considered as getting rid of Democrat-leaning voters. :shrug: Is it a problem for you getting rid of voters votes that are not supposed to be legally voting?
Click to expand...

Both sides! Of course.... :roll: I'm pretty sure it's the state that verifies voter registrations, and that's been under GOP control this whole time.

And if there are illegal voters or illegal registrations they should be purged. But the GOP has a history of using bogus match methods as a way to purge voters off the roles, and it might not surprise you that minorities and especially blacks and Hispanics are the most likely to have the same names, so a bogus match effort will tend to flag them.

They did the same bull**** exercise in North Carolina. They identified more than 35,750 alleged matches of people who voted in NC and another state. THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY!!!! VOTER FRAUD CASES!!!

Guess how many they were able to document? None - zero.

So you'll understand why the rational response to a study that shows inflammatory results of 10s of thousands of cases of VOTER FRAUD and that hides its methodology and is controlled by partisan hacks in a red state is - show me the money. The GOP have a history here, and it's chock full of lies. The former head of Trump's election commission is a ringleader in this corrupt effort.

They weren't flagged from this study, but thanks for the links anyway. That's about what I'd expect - a positive but trivial number. You're effectively using ONE (1) case of known voter fraud by a non-U.S. citizen to back up this recent claim that there are more than 50,000 cases. (The others dealt with a woman harvesting the votes of LEGAL voters through absentee ballots, and another case of a U.S. citizen voting while on probation, so irrelevant to this story).

If I were to make a bet, I'd put the number of cases they can document at < 23 cases of non-U.S. citizens voting over 22 years, or about 1 per year. How about we bet a DP signature for a week? We'll have to remember to revisit in a year or so. You in?

It restores voting rights to 1.4 million ex-felons. I did not research to find out which categories of felony they are referring to, only that one and a half million were deemed worthy of getting their voting rights back.
If there is a category of felon that is not qualified to get their voting rights back, so be it.

Nowhere did I say that ALL felons would have their rights restored.

The problem is the GOP has cried wolf too many times on stories like this that start with these huge numbers and after they're investigated, almost all (but not quite all) are found to be erroneous. See my post above about NC's attempt at this - they started with 35,000 and the number charged with double voting was zero, none.

Here's the article on it. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/the-gops-stealth-war-against-voters-247905/

So what's the point if the error rate of these 'matching' efforts is nearly 100%? They use the list to purge voters - by the 10s of thousands. And it's probably not a coincidence or a problem that minorities tend to be flagged - that's almost surely a feature!
 
You ain't seen anything yet!


Wait until the 2020 elections!


Thanks a lot, Dems.

The Democrats have gone from "There is NO proof of any illegal immigrants voting" to

"Well, yeah, but it didn't make a difference"

It should be zero. You seem to have forgotten that states like Michigan and Pennsylvania went for Trump in 2016 by fewer than 58,000 votes. So you can downplay the numbers all you want, but they ARE significant and should be an outrage to anyone wanting a fair election. Which you clearly don't.

Why? Are democrats too stupid to figure out how to get an ID? If so, maybe they shouldn't be voting

Seems a non-excuse in our computerized world. Not to be a dick, but fake ID shouldn't pass muster to register. Stolen too.

Are dead people not yet scrubbed from the roles "non US citizens". Were those 58,000 illegal votes in one election or spread out over several? If they know they're illegal, have charges been brought?

Over and over these illegal voter smoking guns turn out to be leaky water pistols. Or registration employees registering Mickey mouse.

So I'll need to see how this pans out.

Republicans have cried wolf too many times on this subject.
