Lazy indeed.

He at least made the effort to link a widely discredited paper that does not support the attempted claim. In that sense, it's probably more dishonest than lazy.
when i googled the article, the first result that came up was judicial watch, which sort of points to both
and even those guys don't believe this nonsense, even using their incorrect methodology Trump's claims are garbage

I never said I agree with Trumps allegations that the scale of illegal immigrant voting. I am not sure how widespread the practice is.
Let me ask the left wing-nuts an honest question. When it comes to illegal immigrant voting in the US do you:
(a) believe it does not happen at all.
(b) believe it happens to a very small/negligible extent, but if it was widespread you would disapprove.
(c) believe it is widespread, but have no problem if illegal immigrants vote in US elections. Every resident of the United States, regardless of their immigration status should be allowed to vote.
since it was addressed to me I'd go with b as well and add that I am certain shenanigans exist within voting and I'm sure that both sides are actively involved and that it is likely that both sides end up countering one another for the most part.
I appreciate the candor.
I just read things like this (Should we let non-citizens vote? Here’s the case for it: Larry Wilson) and I just do not have much trouble imagining some registrars or poll-watchers saying to themselves, "You know what, it is racist to deny non-US citizens the vote, just because of where they were born or their immigration status. I'm not going to let the racists win. This is just like Rosa Parks," etc. etc. and allowing non-citizens to register and then vote. That just does not strike me a far-fetched.
I hope y'all are correct.

At my precinct in South Texas we had some liitle old blue haired ladies that examined your drivers license like a Nazi check point guard,
I was glad to see it.
The same where I vote.
I guess the key thing is that, even though the district leans heavily Republican, there is a viable Democrat party. Any shenanigans would get pointed out.
If there were no opposition party, I have to wonder if people would try to get away with something.
I once had a poll worker I went to church with. She greeted me by name when I walked in. She asked for my ID.

It is illegal for non-citizens to vote in Federal elections. Law was passed in 1996. States decide for themselves in state and local elections.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_of_foreigners_to_vote_in_the_United_States
The federal law does not prohibit non-citizens from voting in state or local elections, but no state has allowed non-citizens to vote in state elections since Arkansas became the last state to outlaw non-citizen voting in 1926.[SUP][6][/SUP] A few local governments, most of them in Maryland, allow non-citizens to vote in their local elections.
Interesting to note that for 100 years aliens could vote in some states , Aliens could vote in Alabama until 1901 if they declared their intention to become a citizen.
So it's not farfetched TW because it used to be a common practice,

Yes, but it's illegal for illegal immigrants to be in the US as well, yet that seems to happen quite commonly.
And as for the opening post, I would hope that executive branch officers would execute the law without favor. If the evidence is there that someone broke the law, prosecute. Do not prosecute or lay off, depending on whether person X supports or condemns a vote recount. Enforce the dadgum law.
Rasmussen Poll on illegal immigrants voting.
In March 2016, 71% of US citizens disapproved of illegal immigrants voting (19% favored allowing illegal immigrants to vote and 10% were undecided.
The left wing-nuts will be along shortly to inform us that Rasmussen is a right-wing extremist organization.

Yes, you read that right, in May 2015, a majority of Democrats favored allowing illegal immigrants to vote. This despite the fact that merely registering to vote is a felony.
The left wing-nuts will be along shortly to inform us that Rasmussen is a right-wing extremist organization.
