AP reports that noncitizen voting has become GOP talking point even though it's illegal

The Biden campaign keeps trying to hit on Speaker Mike Johnson for a bill making it illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections. It's already illegal, so what's he trying to prove? Sen. Mike Lee recently posted a lengthy thread on just how "shockingly easy" it is for noncitizens to vote. As we reported, a Mexican NGO called Resource Center Matamoras has been distributing flyers to illegal immigrants encouraging them to vote for President Joe Biden. "Reminder to vote for President Biden when you are in the United States. We need another four years of his term to stay open," the flyer reads.

Christina Pushaw noticed the Washington Post shift from "it's not happening" to "it's happening, but it's rare."

Today in clown world news: The Washington Post has transitioned from "non-citizens can't vote in U.S. elections, conspiracy theorist" to "foreign nationals ARE voting in U.S. elections, that's great for Our Democracy™️, and Republican meanies are racist for trying to stop them!" pic.twitter.com/ccAEjcS6Mz

What does the Post mean by noncitizen voting is "rare"? How rare? Once is too many times. Not to mention that President Joe Biden recently slipped up and said the millions of illegal immigrants who've crossed the border during his administration are "model citizens."

Now the Associated Press is carrying water for the Biden campaign, noting that noncitizen voting, while already illegal, has become a centerpiece of Republican messaging. Maybe Republicans are concerned that millions of "model citizens" have been imported since the previous election.

Already illegal?

Tell the Democrats that.

— MatthewJshow (@MatthewJshow) May 18, 2024

Illegal is one thing, but a better question is whether there are things being done to prevent it from happening. Do some states, for example, require proof of citizenship to register to vote or do you just have to check a box claiming you are a citizen?

— LorieByrd (@LorieByrd) May 18, 2024

As Lee said, it's basically the honor system.

The issue isn't if it's legal or not, it's the fact that it is happening. Even one illegal vote means the election isn't legitimate.

Illegal but not enforced is the same as legal. Think marijuana.

— Andrea E (@AAC0519) May 18, 2024

Murder is illegal. Fentanyl sales are illegal. But they still happen. Only a process to verify identity and citizenship will keep our elections honest.

Every time a driver's license is given a new illegal voter is registered.

This is how many states create voter registrations.

We know that at least California and Minnesota will issue driver's licenses to illegal aliens.

They keep saying federal elections in the hopes that you’ll forget that Democrats allow illegal immigrants to vote in local elections https://t.co/W1k6VblxWq

— The Dank Knight 🦇 (@capeandcowell) May 18, 2024

They have no idea how many non citizens vote. Most states have no requirement to prove citizenship to register and some require as little as a utility bill to show residency.

— mallen2024 (@mallen20243) May 18, 2024

Should be illegal in all elections. Federal, state, and local. And illegals shouldn’t be counted in redistricting too.

— n0kx (@n0kx_) May 18, 2024

So, we're now in the "We're-gonna-pretend-we're-not-doing-that-thing-we're-actually-doing-while-framing-our-accusers-as-conspiracy-theorists" phase of the operation.

Got it.

— Matt Paulus 🇺🇸 (@mdpaulus) May 18, 2024

Illegal border crossings happen every day too despite being against the law.

— John Adams (@JhnAdmz) May 18, 2024

Your logic sleight of hand is noted.

Murder is illegal so as we all know it never happens

Crossing the border without a visa or green card or USA passport is illegal so we all know it never happens.

— EnlightenedBaka (@EnlightenedBak2) May 18, 2024

If its not happening a bill to make sure it stays illegal and is better enforced shouldnt be controversial. And yet....

— Tim Mathis (@timmathiscomedy) May 18, 2024

WaPo and the AP have reported on it, the Biden-Harris HQ account keeps posting about it … if it's already illegal, it should sail right through without opposition. So why the resistance to codifying it?

Since when did the fact that something was illegal stop a Democrat from doing it. In fact, it seems to be a right of passage for them.

We had a pretty-boy anchorman running for Governor (Oregon) years ago. Lars Larson asked him about illegals voting in elections. and he said “That’s illegal.” When informed that it was happening, he was aghast. “What?!” Never heard from again, politically.

For the dems there is no lie they won’t tell, or law they won’t break to further their objectives of destroying America and establishing a totalitarian state.

It’s all cover for the high tech steal.

The only way to steal a landslide is with high tech.

As long as democrats encourage it, it’s not a talking point and although it’s illegal, that’s just an excuse for democrats to ignore a problem they refuse to address.

The point isn’t the legality of it. The point is ignoring the law and allowing the illegal activity to continue. Or just outright facilitating and enabling it, like democrats do.

How many votes does a Senile Old Man need to win? The votes are already tabulated.

The progression:

Step 1: That is a conspiracy theory. You are crazy for thinking it.

Step 2: That is extremely rare. You are trying to score political points over nothing.

Step 3: That is quite common. You are racist for noticing and being concerned.

Step 4: That is universal, and it’s a good thing.

On Illegal Alien voting, we are transitioning from Step 3 to Step 4.

If the Republicans were smart, there would be two posters stapled to every lamppost and telephone pole in the country.

Poster 1: (In Spanish) Non-Citizen voting is ILLEGAL, You can be DEPORTED

Poster 2: Joe Biden/Kamala Harris 2024

Tie Harris to the ticket as tightly as you can.

Nice. I was just about to put together a similar progression. The Left excels at such thinking.

Illegals voting is only illegal IF someone actually enforced election law.

We all know the Dems won’t do anything that hurts their votes.

“That’s Not Happening! And It’s Good That It Is!”

The pool of registered names is part and parcel of the electoral fraud. They don’t care if you vote or not. They will vote for you.

The illegals that manage to vote should realize that after this is accomplished enough, then they will receive a country that could be just like the one they left. They really need to think about what kind of country they want to live in.

Yeah, the way I read the headline is that AP is implying that even talking about noncitizens voting is illegal. Because it might hurt their feelings or something.

Is there an efficient way to find out if someone is a U.S. citizen? I was watching CNN (I watch most of the Sun shows) ans Joanna Coles was talking. I don’t know if she became a citizen. I read several bios and could find nothing on that. How do we know? The internet isn’t as efficient as it used to be...sigh
