Non-Citizens' Votes Could Affect Senate Races

by JASmius



And just think, purple penguins: This is before Barack Obama issues his illegal, unconstitutional, blanket amnesty decree on November 5th:

Many non-citizens don't register or vote, but so many do that it could change the outcome of some of the neck-and-neck Senate races as Republicans and Democrats fight to gain control over it, warns a new article in the journal Electoral Studies.

While some experts believe that there are not many non-citizens who would risk jail, fines, and even deportation for voting....



....the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law said in a recent report, the Electoral Studies article used data from the Cooperative Congressional Election Study to provide samples of those who would vote....

The data determined that more than 14% of non-citizens in both samples showed they were registered to vote, and did cast ballots, with 6.4% voting in 2008 and 2.2% in 2010.

And note the outcome of those respective elections - a Democrat tsunami and a Republican tsunami, respectively.  "Tsunami" not to be understood as landslides but as number of races won, oftentimes by razor-thin margins where "non-citizen voting" can make all the difference.  As it always seems to do for Democrats, who have displayed a remarkable prowess at winning close elections ever since their dry run attempted-election theft in 2000.

And with non-citizens favoring Democrats....

The hell you say!

....Barack Obama took more than 80% of the non-citizen vote in the CCES 2008 sample....

Oh, my God, I had no idea!

Senator Al Franken (D-MN) won his 2008 election by just 312 votes, and that the votes cast by 0.65% of his State's non-citizens may account for that win, they said.

Stunning.  Absolutely stunning.

And for those of us who absolutely believe in mandatory photo ID prior to being allowed to cast a (singular) ballot - of which I am an enthusiastic one - it's not the panacea of election integrity we think it is:

In addition, they found that three-quarters of the non-citizens who were asked to provide photo ID before voting still ended up casting a ballot.

Enjoy and savor November 4th, my friends.  Because it will be the Republican Party's last hurrah.
