Why Do Democrats Fear Trump's Probe of "Fake" Voter Fraud?
Townhall ^ | 1-28-17 | Deroy Murdock

Posted on 01/28/2017 6:19:20 AM PST by Seattle Conservative

Three days into President Donald J. Trump's action-packed first week in office, he promised "a major investigation into VOTER FRAUD", as he explained Wednesday morning, via Twitter. This will include "those registered to vote in two states, those who are illegal and even those who are dead (and many for a long time). Depending on results, we will strengthen up voting procedures!"

Well, I didn’t hear that particular exchange, so I will happily concede the point.

I am very curious to hear the context though, since I have always found Tucker Carlson to be a very tenacious and effective debater.

Florida Voter Resgistration form asks for the prior address you were registered.

I doubt the Registrar of Voter does anything with the info.

Lou Dobbs, on his Fox Business Network show last night, reported the results of a study (forgot the name of the organization which did it) which estimated that illegal aliens produced a net plurality for HRC of 800,000 votes nationally in the last election. I believe their estimate was that about 6% of the illegal alien population voted, with 80% of them for The Witch.

My guess is that the true national plurality for Clinton from illegal aliens alone was at least a million.

In addition to comparing voter registration rolls to the federal SAVE data base, as Deroy Murdoch suggests in the posted article, we can, going forward, demand that all potential voters who wish to register produce PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP, either an American birth certificate or a certificate of naturalization. It's just one of a dozen or so common-sense election reforms that can greatly improve the honesty and integrity of the election process.

Guess he called their bluff!

Reporters do not want to investigate. Bob Creamer

Of course they don't, nor do their newspapers or networks. It is their agenda to defend the enemies of the United State of America. It is our duty to expose the vermin.

Trump argument bolstered: Clinton could have received 800,000 votes from noncitizens

EXCERPT:

Political scientist Jesse Richman of Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, has worked with colleagues to produce groundbreaking research on noncitizen voting, and this week he posted a blog in response to Mr. Trump’s assertion.

Based on national polling by a consortium of universities, a report by Mr. Richman said 6.4 percent of the estimated 20 million adult noncitizens in the U.S. voted in November. He extrapolated that that percentage would have added 834,381 net votes for Mrs. Clinton, who received about 2.8 million more votes than Mr. Trump.

‘Illegals’ are instantly deportable. The are trespassers who are criminal by definition.

I read about another survey that stated 18% of the illegals voted. that would push it to something over 3.6 million (based on 20 million illegals)

I’m not buying that it was as low as 800,000. You’re free to believe what you want.

Yes, that was the study I cited in post # 83, the one discussed on yesterday's Lou Dobbs show. Apparently I made an error there, thinking that the group in the study was illegal aliens only, rather than all non-citizens.

But intuitively, I would think that the rate of voting among the illegal aliens would be much greater than the rate of voting among aliens in the country legally. Though voting by either group in USA elections is clearly a violation of existing US law, the latter group would have more to lose if they were discovered committing such a crime, and so would be more reluctant to do so in general.

“I’m not buying that it was as low as 800,000. You’re free to believe what you want.”

Spot on!. There are at least 20-25 million, and 800,000 would not even cover California. 2-4 million fraud votes is probably about right.
