Will any of these 50,000,000 be legally entitled to vote in a US election?

How many will actually be alive?

Fine, just delay implementation until after this election. This is just the RATs trying anything and everything to generate more votes to try and save Hillary’s ass!

Now, with your Obamaphone, you're automatically registered to vote! Your Obamaphone includes an app with a list of Democrat candidates in your area to vote for!

For Trump to win the election, he will have to get 90% of the vote (voter fraud everywhere).

This is all a dog and pony show. The Dems will introduce the bill and the GOP will (hopefully) kill it. Then the Dems will say that the GOP is against minorities.

I am beginning to think the Dems are in a state of panic over Hillary’s chances.

"I am beginning to think the Dems are in a state of panic over Hillary’s chances."

That's why Hillary is trying to play both sides of the coin.

"Yeah, I KNOW it's a bad thing for innocent cops to be assassinated, but on the other hand, cops go around killing innocent black people like Mike Brown for no reason, so it's *exactly* the same thing."

Hmmm must be 50,000 incoming Muslim refugees instead of 10,000. We know why they are doing this and we also know that they will no know what they are signing or will be told that if you vote for Hillary you are granted instant citizenship or deported instantly ithebes vote for Trump. I get sick of these a$$hat$ playing games and manipulating the system with our tax dollars...

I still like that old “elitist” meme that only property owners should be allowed to vote. What a concept!

Can’t be done....under the Constitution, States run elections, not the Fed.

Of course you have to actually support and defend the Constitution for this to be true...
