Hillary Clinton garnered more than 800,000 votes from noncitizens on Nov. 8, an approximation far short of President Trumps estimate of up to 5 million illegal voters but supportive of his charges of fraud.
Political scientist Jesse Richman of Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, has worked with colleagues to produce groundbreaking research on noncitizen voting, and this week he posted a blog in response to Mr. Trumps assertion.
Based on national polling by a consortium of universities, a report by Mr. Richman said 6.4 percent of the estimated 20 million adult noncitizens in the U.S. voted in November. He extrapolated that that percentage would have added 834,381 net votes for Mrs. Clinton, who received about 2.8 million more votes than Mr. Trump.

Mr. Richman calculated that Mrs. Clinton would have collected 81 percent of noncitizen votes.
Is it plausible that non-citizen votes added to Clintons margin? Yes, Mr. Richman wrote. Is it plausible that non-citizen votes account for the entire nation-wide popular vote margin held by Clinton? Not at all.
Still, the finding is significant because it means noncitizens may have helped Mrs. Clinton carry a state or finish better than she otherwise would have.

“Hey Democrats - TRUMP IS YOUR DADDY!”
Lol! I love your prediction—let it be so!
No, no...Voter fraud deserves a major investigation and they should be provided the very best resources to conduct these investigations on a national scale.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Bottom line—we need a real investigation.
A thorough wide scale voter fraud investigation will probably reveal Trump easily won the popular vote.
Keep Looking.
I’m expecting Dems to say this is voter suppression of undocumented citizens.
As Biden said, “We’re all Americans.”
A Senate seat in my home state a few years back was decided by 1,500 votes. Doesn’t take many stolen votes to swing some states.
Foreign nationals voting in our elections is a federal felony.
So along with auditing the results, warrants can be issued for those violating our laws.
Big screw up by Dems to open this can of worms. MSM was begging Trump to prove it. “Oh, okay. We’ll prove it.”
Dmes were trying to backpedal today saying there’s no need to do an investigation to find illegal voting because there’s no illegal voting. LOL. They already stepped in it.
This is also a good example of the Overton Window. Now the discussion is the amount of illegal voting that took place rather than if it took place at all.
Trump is great at reframing the debate and being a few steps ahead of Democrats.
Looks like the MSM jour-no-list folks today got the order to say there’s “chaos inside” the Trump administration. “Unnamed insiders inform us that...”
They keep shifting tactics each day to see what’ll stick on Trump.
So far the God Emperor has their bullets bouncing off his chest.
Sure makes McCain look like a fool, saying not a single illegal vote. 800,000 non citizens, hmm sounds like foreign influence in our electoral process.
What happened to the 11 million figure for the total number of illegals in America (adults and children) that they have been using for the past 25 years?
Are they including green card holders too? Non-citizens, but legally in the US?
In any event, this is another example of Trump winning. The left claims there is no vote fraud, and now the conversation has moved to determining how much. Even 800K is nothing to sneeze at and totally unacceptable
No one knows the number — not this guy or Trump. But we know illegals voted as the Obama administration gave them the green light and encouraged them to vote. So we need to find out what the number is. We can’t let this stand.
We have an Electoral College System.
Break down those ILLEGAL Votes to certain swing States and the Election can flip.
As far as I’m concerned. ONE ILLEGAL VOTE is one too many.
BTW - The Democrats claim there is NO Voter Fraud, none, zip, zero.
800,000 is a little more than none, zip, zero.
Of course.
If you will recall, up until this afternoon, the MSM and Democrats were screaming there was absolutely no voted fraud and no amount of investigation would prove it and Trump’s claim that 3 million illegal votes in California was ludicrous.
Yet, even before an official investigation has begun, it’s been proven that there were at least 800,000 illegal votes in the election.
Just imagine how many more will be discovered if there is an honest and non-partisan investigation.
Me thinks that Trump already has proof that there were far more than 3 million illegal votes cast. I suspect he doesn’t say anything without having verifiable proof on hand. Furthermore, I think he deliberately makes inflammatory statements that he knows will piss off the media and liberals and make them lose their minds, and then come back at them with proof and make them eat their words.
He’s a billionaire for crying out loud. He didn’t make his money by bu11shitting his competition. He made it by knowing what the other guy only assumed he knew.
He’s playing chess while the media is playing checkers.
JMHO.

noncitizen is only one type of illegal vote.
California all by itself bragged about enrolling 800,000 illegals in just the last year. Here in Texas I’ve watch people who can not speak English vote for years.
Oh, they took a poll! Well in THAT CASE......what’d they do, call people they knew were illegals and ask them? I’m sure every illegal they spoke to, volunteered their status and illegally voting. Riiiiight. Keep digging! I think you missed a spot or two.

I think Trump might be deliberately exaggerating the numbers a bit just to force the media to cover it. T: "There were millions of fraudulent votes!" Media: "There was no evidence of fraud!" T: "Okay, let's do an investigation and find out then." Media: "Uh..."
Bill Richardson says there is no fraud, and Bill is an honorable man. They are all honorable men.
I agree completely. Trump has this way of saying inflammatory things which gets the dems to attack. He proceeds by proving his claims. In the case of election fraud, however, the proof of its vast existence and the obvious need for strict reforms will negate any opportunity for valid opposition.
Polls aren’t accurate. Also, this doesn’t include the dead people voting, people registered in more than one place voting, and felons voting.
Maybe even in the City of Los Angeles itself.
