TX Gov. Greg Abbott Responds to O’Keefe Undercover Video Showing Non-Citizens Voting
Gateway Pundit ^ | November 6, 2018 | Cristina Laila

Posted on 11/06/2018 10:43:57 PM PST by Turtleman

Project Veritas dropped an undercover video earlier Tuesday showing election officials admitting “tons” of non-citizens are voting in Texas.

O’Keefe’s undercover video caught the attention of Texas Governor Gregg Abbott. “This will be investigated,” Abbott said of the non-citizens being encouraged to vote by election officials.

In the video, a Project Veritas undercover journalist asked a Texas election official if her “DREAMer” boyfriend can vote as long as he is registered to vote and has a driver’s license.

“Yeah okay” the election official responded.

“If he has his ID that’s all he needs. If he’s registered,” the election official said of a potential DACA voter.

“Right. It doesn’t matter that he’s not a citizen?” the PV journalist asked, adding, “I saw some mess on the internet that it’s not legal for him to vote because…”

“No. Don’t pay any attention to that. Bring him up here,” the Texas election official said.

When the Project Veritas journalist pressed the election official about her ‘DREAMer’ boyfriend and asked if there is an “issue with DACA people voting,” the election official responded, “No, you tell him no, we got a lot of ’em.”

...because it is hard (expensive) to prove.

Get rid of mail in ballots -

I’m pretty sure that those that aren’t able to get to the polls are equally D or R, there’s no party advantage.

Purge the voter rolls of the dead etc..

Require ID.

Require proof of citizenship when registering.

Get rid of automatic registration.

...the “voter registration drives”, almost always be D’s, gets the names, addresses, and signatures of people not likely to vote - just mail it in.

Until all of that is done, fraud is too easy and on an individual case by case basis it is hard to prove and may only be a single illegal vote. The consequences aren’t severe enough for fraud.


I would add to that -

Eliminate ALL absentee voting. The sole exception being military deployed/stationed away from their HoR.

Purple finger ink. Weekslong permanent.

Also, NO early voting. Move voting day to voting week, 3day, something like that. Polls open at 0000 on Thursday, and close at 2399 Saturday. If you can't vote within a 72hr period (one day being a weekend!), then you are obviously not excited enough to do so.

Eliminate straight-ticket. One, this seems to be one of the main issues with the computers flipping votes. Two, people should care more about who they're voting for. Actually picking each vote means people will be more involved, or they just won't bother voting the whole ticket, and only do the 3-4 big names at the top. Either way, it makes the vote more legitimate from people knowing what's going on.

Empty registration rolls every so often. Maybe every 8 year, the rolls are emptied out, and in 9 years you have to re-register. This'll easily remove dead people, as well as people who don't care to be involved enough to vote.

Finally, spot-check for fraud. Each state has 1-2 counties where they have the machines fully opened and every ballot hand-counted, then compared to the totals the machine reports. If it's off by more than .1% (or 10% of the vote difference, whichever is higher), start looking deeper! Add more counties!

Many people who were immigrants/new citizens came in with their US passports. It is not the job of an election judge or an election clerk to verify citizenship. It is their job to ensure that the voter is registered to vote in the county in which they are attempting to vote and is voting in the right location. Only voters who are registered to vote in the county will show up on that county’s list of registered voters.

For example, if you registered to vote in Harris county, then you moved to San Jacinto county and changed your address on your drivers license to San Jacinto county, but failed to change your voters registration to your new county of residence, you will not show up in the list of registered voters in San Jacinto county. You would have to go back to Harris county and vote at your registered precinct location. When you showed your ID at the Harris County location you would be allowed to vote, but would also need to complete a statement of residence form to change your registration to your new address, post election. This is because the DMV does not change your voter registration for you when you get a new drivers license.

The Hurricane Harvey floods last year displaced a lot of people to new addresses. Some people just moved apartments in the same complex as repairs were being conducted and these people needed statement of residence forms for just a change of apartment number.

A few people came with drivers licenses from other states and were told to produce one of the 15 acceptable forms of identification for Texas voters or to return to their home state and vote there.

The enemy(s) within

I have been saying for years that many elections have been decided with vote fraud.

MotorVoter and ACORN is operating in all States under different names

I’m sure many races were decided yesterday with the help of illegal fraudulent votes

Nelson’s call for a recount in a FL Senate race needs to be watched very carefully

You know the dems, they just keep counting and cheating until they win.

The AG of FL needs to throw out all the votes cast by non citizens and ACORN operatives. ACORN’s strategy is to register people to vote then send in their crews to voting places to vote in the names of the people they signed up.

This is the main reason ID should be shown when voting

All I had to do to vote was say my name, I could have been anyone.

Many people get to the polls and are told they already voted.

Hopefully many of the deep state operatives in the FBI/CIA and various security agencies will “retire”

Or be cleaned out by Trump

Now that Kris Kobach has some time on his hands, he should be appointed Illegal Voting and Election Integrity Czar. Czars require no confirmation, but they may invite more Russia collusion hysteria.

Here’s what may happen - they start arresting and charging elections officials for allowing this to happen.

That’s even better than hammering illegals. If this starts happening, with no challenge to the election results, you get the effect you are looking for, and there is no way to defend the people being prosecuted, because they are guilty.

Fewer illegals at polls, WAY fewer election officials willing to risk their hides, voter role purging gets an unassailable basis for moving forward.

I find it bitterly ironic that anyone with a chip embedded credit card in their wallet has more accurate data on them than your standard drivers license. Even our troops have been issued CAC cards for well over a decade, which has EVERYTHING about them embedded in it- yet, somehow we can’t make the leap nationally to issuing something similar to legitimate REGISTERED voters to bring to the polling station to prove their identity and validity as a legitimate voter.

You want to register to vote? Bring in proof of citizenship and proof of current residency to get your chip embedded voter registration card. You want to vote? Bring your embedded chip voter registration card to the proper polling station and have it scanned before you are allowed to vote.

We have Domestic Enemies in our own ranks.

They've been an original part of the plan since inception. I know it may be a hard fact to accept, but power aggregates regardless of environment and/or so-called "legal protections". So, the issue for the productive class is which system of government best protects their long-term interests: monarchy/aristocracy or republican/democracy?

The allure of the republic is that is induces an illusion that the educated, professional class will govern according to law and institutions. But no one ever considers the fine print, which is the franchise can, will and is intentionally expanded to include those who would raid the public treasury for their own benefit immediately once given the opportunity.

The question then becomes, who suggested/advocated a republican form of democracy anyway? And if one investigates just a smidgen, they will soon discover the very financiers and purveyors of media pushing the current narrative today are the self-same ones who have consistently appealed to bourgeois egos & promoted the overthrow of established regimes.

And so, here we are, the fateful (and fatal) apple being eaten. Once on this path, it's simply a matter of time (measured in either decades or a few centuries) that a literal fight for survival to restore a semblance of stable government begins. Whether ancient Greece, the Roman empire, Euro empires or even relatively current events like the Spanish civil war and/or Pinochet reaction, the end result is the same:

Those who thought they would be in control find out the hard way they were always earmarked for destruction once they foolishly abolished established order. And then, once the hard truth begins to spread towards dawning awareness, the fight is on to once again restore what once protected their interest without threat of internal domestic enemies.

With a permanent ruling class in the most populated counties in almost every state, Democrats have bigger bag of tricks than non-citizens showing up at the polls.

I want to know how a non-citizen gets a voter registration card! Don’t they have to lie and say they are a citizen in order to get one?

TX Gov. Greg Abbott Responds to O’Keefe Undercover Video Showing Non-Citizens Voting

Partner, we hope Governor Abbott investigates this mess all the way to the USSC.

Partner, we already suspect and know that way too many Illegal Aliens that are here Illegally in this country of ours are voting.

They are doing this in Arizona also.

The DemonRat party has found a way to get the Illegal Aliens to vote and they should be immediately arrested and placed in jail, period.

I didn't say it was the job of the election clerk to verify citizenship. However, perhaps it should be in this present time.

I merely pointed out that the only way to verify, with a higher degree of certainty, someone's eligibility to vote is to verify their BC (or naturalization paperwork).

That, and the fact that real...valid drivers licenses are being issued to illegal aliens.

The point being, an illegal alien can present a valid drivers license at any polling place in America where they live and vote as if they have that right.

Should be a hanging offense. I know it’s not, but we should hang them anyway. They’re stealing our country.

Partner, we have way too many Illegal Aliens in the State of Texas, Arizona and other states where Illegal Aliens reside.

Partner, these Illegals are stealing our country right before our own eyes.

The Republican governors better investigate all the voter rolls or we will lose our country as it stands right now.

We know a lot about Illegal Alien problems and they want us to live like there 3rd world Syrup Hole countries.

Democrats have total control of densely populated counties in swing states. Who is guarding the hen house? A handful of officials could manipulate elections.
