Couple interesting articles:

Pennsylvania admits to 11,000 non-citizens registered to vote

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/jan/30/pennsylvania-11000-non-citizens-registered-vote/

Pennsylvania officials have admitted to finding names of 11,198 non-citizens registered to vote on the state’s rolls — though top lawmakers suspect the number could still be higher.

Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration turned the numbers over to the state legislature earlier this month, after ceding a long battle to block the information’s release.

The 11,198 names the state found are less than an earlier estimate of 100,000 names, though they still represent a sizable chunk of people who could have cast illegal ballots in elections, and gone without detection.

“I believe that we need to take action and have those people removed immediately from the tolls. They were never eligible to vote,” said state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, a Republican who fought a legal battle to force the Wolf administration to reveal the numbers.

Noncitizen voting has been a controversial issue for years, with voting-rights activists insisting it’s a minimal problem and President Trump suggesting the numbers are massive.

Many states and local officials have resisted attempts to get to the bottom of the numbers, though some are beginning to take action.

Texas officials last week said they uncovered nearly 100,000 names on their rolls of non-citizens illegally registered to vote, and state prosecutors have brought cases against some people who registered and cast ballots despite being ineligible.

In Pennsylvania, the problem of non-citizen voters became clear after officials admitted that a problem with computers in the state’s motor vehicle bureaus allowed ineligible voters to register anyway. Under the 1993 Motor-voter law, states are required to let people register at public offices.

At that time a Philadelphia commissioner had estimated some 100,000 names could be involved in the DMV snafu.

And maybe some Dems are getting sick of Ocrazio. Maybe the brother marrying mohammedan verminess and the other mohammedan “Our people (Palestinians)/impeach the m-fo” will also stick in the craw of some Dems. Hmm, I see it is now retracted but still up, catfight!

Ocasio-Cortez Infuriates Fellow Dems, Party Colleagues Mull Idea of Primary Challenge [RETRACTED]

RETRACTION: After further review, this article was found not to meet The Western Journal’s editorial standards. It was based on a single source, The Hill, which quoted only a single anonymous source in support of its claims, with some related background — but no confirmation — from a second source, also anonymous, so we have no way to determine the credibility of either. In addition, the original headline mentioned “Dems” and “Colleagues,” implying multiple individuals, when in fact only one individual was quoted. Moreover, the use of “Infuriated” in the headline implied that the possible primary challenge was due to recent actions and statements of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, when in fact the word “furious” was used by an anonymous source in reference to feelings of people associated with Rep. Joseph Crowley, whom she defeated in the primary race.

We apologize for letting this article be published without closer verification of its claims, and are working to prevent similar occurrences in the future. We are leaving the article in place so that readers will see and have context in which to understand this retraction.


If the buzz around the Capitol is any indication, Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York might pay for her flashy personification of progressive precepts with a primary challenge when the 2020 elections roll around.

Although a report published by The Hill on Monday notes that colleagues will not speak for the record about a challenge, under the cloak of anonymity, things are different.

“What I have recommended to the New York delegation is that you find her a primary opponent and make her a one-term congressperson,” a Democratic member of Congress said, The Hill reported.

(D-N.Y.) has infuriated colleagues by aligning with a progressive outside group that’s threatening to primary entrenched Democrats. Now some of those lawmakers are turning the tables on her and are discussing recruiting a primary challenger to run against the social media sensation.

At least one House Democrat has been privately urging members of the New York delegation to recruit a local politician from the Bronx or Queens to challenge Ocasio-Cortez.

“What I have recommended to the New York delegation is that you find her a primary opponent and make her a one-term congressperson,” the Democratic lawmaker, who requested anonymity, told The Hill. “You’ve got numerous council people and state legislators who’ve been waiting 20 years for that seat. I’m sure they can find numerous people who want that seat in that district.”
