For weeks, GOP leaders have been sounding ten-alarm fire alerts that illegal aliens are registered to vote. As evidence, the concerned Republicans cite the significant influx of foreign nationals that have surged the U.S.-Mexico border and been flown into the country on the Biden-Harris administration’s CBP-One app, accessible to anyone with a mobile phone. Including gotaways, the potential total of voters that aren’t legally authorized to cast ballots could exceed ten million. Since no one truly knows the exact total of illegal aliens admitted at both the northern and southern borders, Florida Senator Marco Rubio and others put the all-inclusive total at between 20 and 30 million. Rubio could be right; again, no one knows.
The 1996 law, 18 USC 611, Voting by Aliens, is clear: illegal aliens are prohibited from voting for president, vice president, or congressional candidates. Hoping to minimize potential razon-thin losses in swing states, GOP officials have launched voter roll reviews, issued executive orders and placed constitutional amendments on state ballots as part of an emphasis on thwarting noncitizen voting. The United States has a decentralized election system, and many rules are decided at state or county levels. States’ voter ID requirements fall into three categories: 1) states like Florida and Texas that require government-issued photo ID, 2) states that accept non-photo ID, and 3) states that do not require any ID. Category two, non-photo ID, is deeply flawed and might include a gym membership, a library card or a utility bill. The third category is an open invitation to cheat and cancel out citizens’ votes on a one-to-one basis. Neither swing states Pennsylvania, with its19 electoral votes, nor Nevada, six electoral votes, require any ID.
A third swing state with 11 electoral votes, Arizona, requires non-photo ID but has found an inventive way to assure that illegal aliens can vote. The Arizona Supreme Court recently ruled that Arizonans who had not satisfied the states proof-of-citizenship requirement could still receive a “full-ballot” for state and local races as well as “federal-only” ballot register to vote in federal races—the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate, and the U.S. president. CNN reported that notwithstanding the Supreme Court’s ruling, “these voters would have been able to cast presidential ballots.” ABC15 data analyst Garrett Archer studied the numbers, and found that currently slightly over 42,000 Arizona voters are federal election-only voters, meaning they haven’t provided documented proof of citizenship. In 2020, President Joe Biden won Arizona by a 10,000-vote margin.
Very few U.S. citizen voters have calculated the border invasion’s effects on the 2024 election. Assuming 10 million illegals per year, a goal that the Democrats are rushing toward at breakneck speed, if only 5% became voting citizens, the most conservative estimate, that would mean about two million new legal voters by 2028. Swing states’ victory margins are often less than 20,000; see Arizona’s results cited above. Moreover, the Biden/Harris administration has been flying so-called asylum seekers, who are fast-tracked to citizenship, directly into swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and Arizona, a guaranteed method to win every election.
Even though the Voting by Aliens law is unambiguous, the Department of Justice sued Alabama over the state’s removal of more than 3,000 voters from state rolls saying it violated the National Voter Registration Act which requires a 90-day window before the November 5 election to remove names. Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen said, “I was elected Secretary of State by the people of Alabama and it is my constitutional duty to ensure that only American citizens vote in our elections.” A DOJ review of the purge allegedly identified multiple native-born and naturalized citizens who were incorrectly identified as potential noncitizens during the voter removal. Allen, a Republican, had instructed election officials in Alabama’s 67 counties to inactivate the state’s 3,251 registered voters that the Department of Homeland Security confirmed were noncitizens.
A September House of Representative’s vote defeated a continuing resolution (CR) that would have averted a government shutdown and stopped election officials in all 50 states from registering illegal immigrants and other non-citizens from voting in U.S. elections. The (CR) failed by a vote of 202-220 and included more than a dozen Republicans who helped kill the bill. The measure would have funded the federal programs past the then-impending October 1 government shutdown through March 28 and also contained the entire text of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would help assure only U.S. citizens vote in U.S. elections. Specifically, the SAVE Act would require government officials to verify that anyone registering to vote is a U.S. citizen. If noncitizens vote in the same proportion as they did in the 2008 election, 1.5 to 2.7 million unauthorized foreigners will vote in the 2024 presidential election, experts predicted. With the SAVE Act dead—Biden said he would veto the bill if it reached his desk— the DOJ and Democratic-led states are on a non-stop mission to guarantee that illegal aliens could cast potentially deciding votes, the nation is in a bigger mess than the average American realizes.
