"And how do they know how many votes it will take to sway an election, I should wonder."

The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Monday that investigators have identified more than 400 noncitizens illegally registered to vote in Washington state, some of whom have cast ballots in multiple elections dating back decades.
Many on the list are green card holders with legal immigration status and permanent residency, according to the U.S. attorney’s offices for the Eastern and Western districts of Washington.
"We have identified over 400 noncitizens who are registered to vote and have voted in multiple elections. This is only the tip of the iceberg," Neil Floyd, acting U.S. attorney for the Western District of Washington, said in a statement.
"We will continue to investigate and identify those who are committing crimes by voting illegally."
The move builds on the DOJ's legal action against Los Angeles County, where it has sought to set aside roughly 20,000 mail-in ballots sent to individuals whose citizenship status is in question.
Immigration officials told Fox News Digital Tuesday that dozens of noncitizens have also been arrested nationwide in a major voter fraud crackdown.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Floyd said investigators identified hundreds of noncitizen voters by reviewing U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records, which showed that some people who applied for certain benefits had also voted.
While some individuals voted only once or three times in past elections, Floyd said others voted as many as 27 times. In total, his office counted approximately 1,500 instances of noncitizens casting ballots.
He emphasized that some noncitizens had been voting for decades, predating Washington’s transition to a vote-by-mail system.

Washington Compost: Trump Administration Sowing Seeds of Distust Ahead of Midterms
excerpt: Voting by noncitizens is rare, as is fraud involving mail ballots. Most cases involve small numbers of votes, not the large number that would be needed to change election outcomes.
Considering the closeness of just two elections, 1960 and 2000, it seems it wouldn’t take many illegal votes to flip an election.
I live here in WA, and read the news stories about this stuff on FB. And the leftists have transitioned to “That’s not enough votes to sway an election”. I assume the next step is “Illegals are voting, and it’s a GOOD thing, and you’re racist if you disagree”.
WA is all mail and is a motor voter state (get a driver’s license and you are automatically registered to vote)
I’ve asked out sec of state how they know that when a WA ballot is signed stating that the person voting is indeed a US citizen, there is just the sound of crickets.
limiting the scope is all fine and good, but Wa state sends ballots indiscriminately.
I know someone in Wa who gets lots of ballots to his house even though all of them except his are in the names of people who live in other states and have for years.
( yes they are real citizens and are currently registered and vote in the states they now live in. )
this is only the tip of a huge ice burg no one even asks about.
That argument always amuses me (in a cynical sense). That's like saying only one was killed at a mass shooting so the murder is OK.
"And how do they know how many votes it will take to sway an election, I should wonder."
Just a few dozen or hundred votes can flip a county. A few counties can flip a State. A few States can flip a nation.
For want of a nail, the shoe was lost;
For want of a shoe, the horse was lost;
For want of a horse, the rider was lost;
For want of a rider, the battle was lost;
For want of a battle, the kingdom was lost,
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
I Love this quote.
The founding fathers knew this and devised a system called the electoral college.
Unfortunately it has been mostly subverted, but even today as emasculated as it has become people are still trying to get rid of it altogether.
I think you are correct, sir.
Love it
Hillary Clinton has publicly advocated for the abolition of the U.S. Electoral College and replacing it with a national popular vote, arguing that the system is an anachronism and does not uphold “one person, one vote”. Her actions and statements regarding the Electoral College since losing the 2016 election include:
• Public Calls for Abolition: In a CNN interview on September 14, 2017, she explicitly stated that the Electoral College should be eliminated and that the country should move toward electing the president via a direct popular vote. She reiterated these criticisms in subsequent public appearances and interviews, including remarks in July and June 2026 where she labeled the system an anachronism or an “abomination” after winning the national popular vote by nearly 3 million votes in 2016.
• Acceptance of Results / Peaceful Transfer: Despite her opposition to the system, she did not challenge the official Electoral College vote count or refuse to certify the 2016 election results, emphasizing adherence to democratic norms and a peaceful transfer of power.
• Reflections in Writing and Media: In her book and various retrospective interviews analyzing the 2016 race, she discussed how the Electoral College structure and campaign dynamics impacted the outcome, while maintaining her long-standing position (which she also voiced following the 2000 election) that the U.S. should do away with the institution.

Sometimes just 10 unlawful votes can make a difference in a voting precinct/parish. So it doesn’t take much per area to flip a county, state, etc.
These people who say it’s not much, no big deal, are the ones on the broad path to destruction in more ways than one.
in many cases it’s even less than numbers you wrote.I’ve seen people mention as few as 4-5 votes per voting precinct.
It’s the game plan Dems have been using for years to. get their people onto town councils and school boards and radically change decent areas of people into dem/socialist voting strongholds. islam following the same pattern.
