Washington Post: Obama Won 80% of Non-Citizen Votes in 2008

Voter fraud still totally not an issue.

How many non-citizens participate in U.S. elections? More than 14 percent of non-citizens in both the 2008 and 2010 samples indicated that they were registered to vote. Furthermore, some of these non-citizens voted. Our best guess, based upon extrapolations from the portion of the sample with a verified vote, is that 6.4 percent of non-citizens voted in 2008 and 2.2 percent of non-citizens voted in 2010.

Because non-citizens tended to favor Democrats (Obama won more than 80 percent of the votes of non-citizens in the 2008 CCES sample), we find that this participation was large enough to plausibly account for Democratic victories in a few close elections.

Non-citizen votes could have given Senate Democrats the pivotal 60th vote needed to overcome filibusters in order to pass health-care reform and other Obama administration priorities in the 111th Congress. Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) won election in 2008 with a victory margin of 312 votes.

Votes cast by just 0.65 percent of Minnesota non-citizens could account for this margin. It is also possible that non-citizen votes were responsible for Obama’s 2008 victory in North Carolina. Obama won the state by 14,177 votes, so a turnout by 5.1 percent of North Carolina’s adult non-citizens would have provided this victory margin.

So non-citizen votes gave us both Al Franken and ObamaCare. I’m not sure which of these is worse. But of course we don’t need to secure the integrity of our voting process, say Democrats. Any attempt at Voter ID is racist, say the main beneficiaries of voter fraud.

And then eventually we’ll just have to let anyone who wants to vote, even if they’re illegal aliens, just as we had to at the border. And then we’ll have to give the disadvantaged multiple votes.

That’s what the voter fraud party wants.

No one can convince me that the depth of voter fraud in this country won’t be the death of this country.

Election day needs to be changed to April 15th. You send your ballot in with your tax return.

The ease with which fraud has been effectual these past several Presidential elections, shows that the corruption of the process has already been done and is being perfected.

The only way honest National elections can now be restored is through the loss of the last of our freedoms to State control. Which was the Marxist plan all along.

If a government in a republic comes to power by illegal means, isn’t that government illegitimate?

We need to get American off their dead butts and voting to offset this invasion. People are “too busy” working to pay for the stuff the illegals voted for themselves.

More....

"One interesting detail: Less educated non-citizens were more likely to vote than well educated ones were. That suggests (but doesn’t prove, natch) that some of this illegal voting is being done out of ignorance. Better educated people know that they’re not allowed to vote and don’t attempt it; less educated ones don’t know, and therefore do. Another detail, an important one, is that voter ID laws seem not to work. Almost three-quarters of non-citizens who voted said they presented photo ID to get their ballot. If you want to stop them from voting, you’ll either have to insist on some sort of citizens-only ID (plenty of blue states issue driver’s licenses to illegals, remember) or come up with a new way to verify voters’ eligibility."
