Title: Texas Attorney General finds 95,000 illegals registered to vote

And approximately 58,000 did.

Hope this kind of travesty comes up at the SOTU.

Arrest warrants and deportation orders should be quickly made.

 This is what is known.  Just imagine what the actual number is nationwide.

 And we wonder why the dims are so interested in letting anyone in the country.

Democrats will be all for this as long as they think the illegals are voting for them. They will turn the instant they think these people are voting Republican.

Because for Democrats, it is all about power. They know that people are not interested in what they want so they just want the raw power to cram it down everyone’s throats.

Yet, they still say “democracy”...

This is in the early stages. And is since 1996, not just in the last election. And our voter rolls are notoriously full of outdated garbage.

It's time to modernize our registration system.

I still can't understand why showing an ID before voting is such a bad thing. It seems that you need an ID for everything else. Just prove that you are who you are and make your mark.

I'm not sure that you and Asechrest have the same ideas as regards modernizing our registration system.  But I'm sure you could agree on a few things and compromise on a few.

My problem with Asechreset's plan is that he would like to automatically register everyone with no effort on their part required.  I think that if someone wants to vote, they should have to put forth at least a little effort. 

I would also like to see some sort of knowledge test, but I know that won't fly so I won't push for it.

You misunderstand the difference between registering and voting. These are two different things.

We've been over this a half dozen times. In many states, registering gets a ballot sent to your home. From there, voting is easy. We’re saying that if you want to vote, you should have to make the effort to register. Mail-in ballots are a big open door for fraud and ballot harvesting. It looks to me like going back to onsite voting, verifying your name and address on a register, would be a giant step toward stopping fraud.

Look at the title of this thread. Ninety five thousand registered, 58,000 voted. Every one of those was a vote stolen from an American citizen.  Tell me you want that to continue happening. Because I guarantee you it is happening in Florida.

Every communist (democrat) goes ballistic whenever the topic is illegal aliens voting.

Their reasoning is always using illegals to harvest illegal votes.

They always lie about their motivation because communists lie as often and as transparently as muslims.

Three states have all-mail voting. Some others have all-mail voting only in certain limited circumstances, like uncontested races.

From there, voting is easy. We’re saying that if you want to vote, you should have to make the effort to register.
I know what you're saying. I propose instead that the "effort" remains in the process of voting, not in being registered. Remember that the purpose of a universal automatic registration system is many-fold. It's not just to piss you off. It comes with advantages including, for example, up-to-date voter rolls which make verification of voter eligibility far more accurate and efficient without accidentally adversely affecting those who are truly eligible.

Yes, it is an open door for fraud. I'm on-board with moving back to in-person voting or some other system that verifies eligibility with better certainty. And what's great is that an automatic voter registration system can help bolster that certainty.

When you say “automatic,” what do you mean? In my state anyone, even illegals, are automatically registered when they get a drivers license. This is also the case in California. I think you can see why I might be wary of “automatic” registration.

Theoretically, you can't vote if you are not registered.  By automatically registering everybody, it makes it possible to drive a bus through the ghetto and load up hundreds or thousands of people and drive them to the polls, where the will vote for whoever they are told to for a cup of coffee and a doughnut.  No thinking or effort required.

Don't worry. The unregistered rate of the white vs. black population is about the same. So someone else can load up folks from the poor white areas if you think that will help. Also, rewarding voters with anything is illegal.

But enforcing that is extremely difficult. Especially when the enforcers are on their side. We have election officials on video telling illegals how to get registered to vote. Dems are trying to swing elections not by changing peoples minds and motivating them honestly to go vote, but by purposely targeting populations and even individuals who they know will vote their way to offer free rides to polls (or take in their early ballots) and even minor bribes just to stuff the polls with dem voters and, they are only doing this where the vote outcome will make or break their election win. It's slimy what they do.

How about at birth. In an American hospital on American soil. Accommodations can be made for those that are born outside a hospital of American citizens. We his way, age can be verified too and they can’t vote until age 25. Even then they will need photo ID and proof of local residency. Or they will be required to update the database about their place of residence 6 months in advance of an election.

Still don’t like it though.

No, it's not extremely difficult. But even if it was, the answer is not literacy tests or becoming the arbiters of who is worthy or not worthy of voting. It is my conviction that doing so would be un-American.

Now that’s just not honest. Enforcement is extremely difficult because few prosecutors have the resources to investigate the small  but numerous cases where people are voting for other people, aren’t living in the precincts, etc. - instance of voter fraud that we know exists. Prosecutorial discretion will often overlook more wholesale fraud if they are wearing the same jerseys. Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm has rejected to pursue cases of vote fraud in Milwaukee, yet conducted numerous “John Doe cases where his armed police raided the homes of an aid to Scott Walker, Eric O’Keefe, the head of Wisconsin Club for Growth, and others just like the FBI raid on Roger Stone.  These raids were for perceived political collusion!  Ultimately most were thrown out as an Unconstitutional attack on the first amendment. 

But when your city and county is run by democrats and socialists, these instances of prosecutorial overreach, or in the case of voter fraud, turning a blind eye, remain unchallenged and unpunished. Chisholm is still Milwaukee County’s DA.

Information sharing relies on citizens reporting their new address, such as needing to change their drivers license. How many people fail to do so?  Unless you think Big Brother needs to have a giant database of everyone’s physical movements, this is a ridiculous assumption.

Here's another interesting point to remember when it comes to illegal aliens voting.

Notice how the democrats do not want the question on the upcoming 2020 census "Are you a US citizen?".    Congressional districts are made up of total population of each state.  That population is divided by 771,000.   So take a "sanctuary state" such as California where it's estimated (on the low end) that they house 4,000,000 illegals.  That equals 5 congressional districts, 5 votes in congress.

Now take several states (Texas, Florida, NY, ILL, etc) and start figuring out how many illegals are there.   Several more congressional districts.    Start to add that up and it will become a sizable voting block in congress.

 A huge state such as Texas makes a big difference in Presidential politics.  Flip that state blue and you will essentially see the end of any republican ever becoming president again.   In Texas there are 95,000 (known) illegal voters.   Ted Cruz won re election with just around 200,000 votes.   Think about that.

 And anyone wonders why the democrats are so opposed to border security and election law reform.

The NYT plays down the significance of our thread title, dismissing 58,000 votes as a “mere” 0.69 percent fraudulent ballots.

http://thefederalist.com/2019/01/28/nearly-58000-noncitizens-illegally-voted-texas-many-nationwide/

Quote
The New York Times, though, downplayed the significance of Friday’s news, noting that “more than 8.3 million people voted in the Texas governor’s race last year, which means that even if all 58,000 people who voted were, in fact, found to be noncitizens and voted in 2018 — a claim that no state official has made — they would have amounted to only 0.69 percent of all votes that were cast.”

That’s one way to put it—if you want to obscure the significance of 58,000 fraudulent votes! After all, George W. Bush defeated Al Gore in Florida by a mere 537 votes to become our 43rd president.

Critics are also attempting to spin Paxton’s announcement by painting Texas’ efforts to clean up the voting rolls as an effort in voter suppression. For instance, Kristen Clarke, the president of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, told The New York Times that “Texas has a rich history of undertaking action to make it harder for people to vote.” “Whenever you’re invoking the threat of criminal prosecution,” she added, “the chilling effect becomes almost unavoidable.”

But there should be a chilling effect on those who would vote illegally.

It’s a crime, and once people start getting seriously punished for it, it will decline.

Since tax records do not contain citizenship information, how would your tax records plan determine who is worthy to vote by virtue of being a citizen? 

Or is being a citizen part of the worth/not worthy exception you talk about?

That hasn't seemed to work out too well on other crimes.  Punishment is a component, as is actually catching most of the criminals in the first place.  IF people don't think they will be caught, they don't care much about what the punishment is.  Especially if the crime is easy to commit.

You'd have to:
Make illegal voting difficult (voter ID)
Step up investigation and enforcement
Make the punishment severe.

Hate to break it to you, but big brother already has your information. In fact, third parties have more information than you can fathom, as I was reminded recently when discussing the particulars of Facebook advertising with a contact I have in digital marketing. They have unbelievable metrics about you.

So while citizens' volunteering their change of address certainly assists voter roll updates, it's not the only avenue of doing so. The reason the DMV doesn't have your current address is 1) they don't really care and 2) there is no information-sharing structure between government entities.

I have not mentioned a "tax records plan". If you've done some reading on Canada's plan, you may note that they offer two check boxes on their tax returns. One asking the individual to affirm citizenship, and another authorizing update of voting records using information from the return. That's frankly not exactly the way I'd go with it, or at the very least I'd want a cross-check of citizenship.

Many countries know factually who is a citizen and who is not because records begin at birth.

I live in Texas. This morning, I was listening to a state senator talking about this subject.

There are 2 prosecutors at the state level that handle this crime.

They are short handed.
Nothing will change unless the citizenry, read “conservatives,” step up and demand it publicly and loudly and as unceasingly as the leftist media dismisses it. Therefore, nothing will change. I hope I am wrong.

If you are an Illegal Alien, Democrat voter, or potential Democrat voter you automatically get registered.  Also biologically challenged (dead) get registered upon issuance of Death Certificate.

He has a plan to rebuild voter rolls every year based off tax records.

Probably a good start for auditing voter records, but incomplete. There are many people who aren’t required to file records.  Plus there is no check for actual eligibility.

I have not mentioned a "tax records plan". If you've done some reading on Canada's plan, you may note that they offer two check boxes on their tax returns. One asking the individual to affirm citizenship, and another authorizing update of voting records using information from the return. That's frankly not exactly the way I'd go with it, or at the very least I'd want a cross-check of citizenship.

Many countries know factually who is a citizen and who is not because records begin at birth.
Good luck with cross-checking citizenship. The democrats are fighting the Census Bureau for asking a citizenship question on the fucking CENSUS. They are fighting it because when non-citizens increase the population count in a state, that state can get an increased number of congressional districts, this increasing their power in the House of Representatives. This is voter fraud by other means, perpetuated by the democrat party.

It would be a great study to crosscheck all those different databases against the voter rolls.  I suspect that you could eliminate most of the names on the voter rolls as legitimate and then concentrate on the 5% left over to determine if they were valid. 

The only reason I say that I don't think you could eliminate all of the names is because I'm sure quite a few are bogus.

Automatic means automatic. How and when? Good question, since the devil is always in the details. We have many other countries from which to draw ideas, though our solution would need to be unique. There are varying systems, including countries with compulsory registration, countries that have a national register, etc. The two key ideas are this: 1) registration is automatic upon rising to age of eligibility, with no need to opt-in, but an option to opt-out and 2) information is shared with the appropriate entities each time an individual interacts with a government agency. I also want to see voter ID implemented, and I think we should pull back from absentee and mail in voting.

My opinion is that a plan that has these parts gives both sides a critical piece they want, but not everything they want. In other words, it's a quintessential compromise. If it's done right, it could also reduce administration costs, keep voter rolls orders of magnitude more accurate, and protect against fraud.

Will it ever happen? Doubt it. It's a sizable undertaking, and the transition from our current system to the new system would be a bear.

The transition is the hard part, really. Long-term, if the system is done correctly, we could know factually who is and is not a citizen.

If the democrats succeed, it will be another 10 years before we can ask again. And they will fight it in 10 years again. It’s fatiguing to continue to fight for facts when they fight for their right to be ignorant of facts.

Simply microchip all citizens.  No chip, no vote.  Of course when we get to that voting would be pointless as the Corporation would control everything.  Like it does now but we just don't know it.

Here's a novel concept:  Let people register to vote that want to.  Have them provide proof of residency and proof of citizenship.  Issue them a "voter ID".   Present that ID when they wish to vote, and match it to the voter records.

Move to another state?  No problem!  Require people who register to vote to surrender their voter ID card (under penalty of law) before getting the new one.  In the application for the voter ID, provide a previous address if the person just moved there.

Finally, enforce laws pertaining to voter fraud.

Yes. Effort, and several proofs.

Sorry asechrest, but it just makes sense not to create a lot of registered voters if they’re not motivated in some way to get the registration done. Why create a bunch of inactive voters? It’s just one more opening for fraud.

Right now I don't know if you'd catch someone who moved to a new state, voted, and then voted by absentee ballot in their old state. Do they cross check your voter registration address with the deed records to prove you still live there? How would they even do that if you rent, unless someone else registers at that address? And if they do, so what? More than one voter can live at one address. When you turn in your old drivers license (if your state even requires you to) when you get your new license does the election board in your old state verify your license hasn't been canceled when vote day comes? I'm sure not if you aren't even required to show ID when you vote in person.

I heard that one form of election fraud was people just driving around and registering and voting in several states or districts. I don't know how true that was but when I moved from NC to TX I got an absentee ballot in the mail for NC that had been forwarded to me. I think I could have voted twice and gotten away with it.

I'm not a fan of national databases designed to track our movements, but I can see a need for a simple database that tracks voters.  Of course, nothing on a national scale is simple, and is subject to abuse, but safeguards could be built in.

When you register to vote, your information would be stored in a national voter registration database.  At the time of registration, the database would be searched to make sure you are not already registered elsewhere.

 It's a problem, for sure.

 States communicate with each other on a host of other issues, and in this day and time they really need to get together and clean up voter rolls.     

 But, until that happens, we can at least enforce our laws as written.  And demand ID to vote.

Nothing highlighted this more than Hillary during the debate where she said she would name SC nominees who would use the court for activism.

Trump stated his nominees would uphold the Constitution (as the office is sworn to do). That tells you all you need to know about the left and their desire to replace rule of law with their own agenda.

That's the theory.  But the power and authority of the office become the power and authority of the person and sometimes vice versa.

Democrats have been out of the legal bounds for a very long time because Republicans haven't stopped them.  Power is what people let you do.

And I'm pointing out the utter hypocrisy of republicans.  Most...but obviously not you...are all for giving the president the authority to do new things, like wiping the state voter rolls clean or declaring spending authority to build a wall. 

If you're going to suggest a change, make very, very sure that you like the other side having the ability to do it too.
Lucifer is right.  You are just being an ass.  I guess you got your feelings hurt somewhere along the line.

Suggesting that the president do something that he may not be authorized to do is just a call for action.  Not an attack on the Constitution.  And it certainly doesn't mean we want to give him unlimited power.  You are making this shit up as you go for some personal reason.  Maybe you are just trying to balance the scales on this site a little, but it isn't working.  You are making yourself look small and petty.

I will not apologize for taking it seriously because I think we suffer because a lot of people do not take Constitutional authority seriously.  It is supposed to be the unbreakable thing in our government.  If Constitutional authority is universally ignored then we will have become a dictatorship with the president taking any action he chooses.

This is why suggesting the president take action he isn’t authorized to perform is an attack on the Constitution.  A breakdown of Constitutional authority is a breakdown in law.  I thought the same thing when Obama did it.  I am not changing because the president has an R next to his name now.

 Maybe I missed it, but when has President Trump taken action that wasn't authorized by the constitution?   If anything he's been insistent on following the constitution, unlike his predecessor.

 And while his predecessor took several actions that were questionable, it just sailed right through, no questions.

Well, here’s a thought. Obviously Texas was able to isolate illegal voters and even how many of them voted. Perhaps all states could do that. Of course, it would only work in states where the governors and Secretaries of State and attorney generals are all Republicans.

Did you feel that way when Bush and Obama were doing it?  This isn't a new thing, it's been going on for 20 years.  I agree it's wrong, we should keep families together.  But we should have been doing that all along.  Fortunately kids are far more resilient than we give them credit for.

At the same time, I don't think the answer is to release people to roam about the country while they wait for an immigration hearing.  It sends a signal that they don't ever need to come back because they've accomplished what they're looking for - living in the US.  Laws and rules are for the moral people who care about those kinds of things.

And of course ignoring them means you’d release these kids into the US with their coyote “companions,” human traffickers, and sex slave masters. You’re a sick fuck.

Ice separates these kids, and cares for them, until their status and the legitimacy of their parents can be verified. Ignoring them is cruel and sick.

 Nice trolling post.    And that's all it is.


Personally I think they should be left with their parents.  Obviously you all think otherwise.

 It's been pointed out many times that often these kids are being used, and not by their parents.   Somehow liberals seem to think along with killing new born babies that having young preteen children from other countries brought here to be sex trafficked is just a fine idea.   Or having young preteen children found left alone in the desert either dead or dying is just a part of "those seeking asylum".

 And, of course, liberals want to grant rights to people who come here and break our laws.  They want these criminals to have rights not granted to law abiding citizens.

 A US citizen breaks a law and faces prison, which means separation from their family.   In liberal utopia, and illegal alien, a person that has already committed a crime by illegally entering our country should be set free to do as they please because "we can't separate them from their family".

GMAFB.

 His party only wants power, no matter the cost.  If a bunch of children have to die or be sexually abused to get it, they are just "collateral damage", nothing more.

Like I said, you’re a sick fuck. Exactly how do you know that they are their parents?  Have you not listened to the stories of coyotes “renting” children to get into asylum status?  Have you not heard of the human trafficking problem, again with people posing as children’s parents?  Have you not heard of kidnappings of children, rapes of women and children on their journey to the border?

There is no “you guys” and no story to keep straight. This has been something DhS has had to deal with for decades.  It isn’t really even a president issue, it is just a consequence of other policies and situations.  For various reasons, children in custody of the DHS have been separated from parent since DHS started running Border Patrol.  That can be becUse of a criminal record, medical reason or other issues.

Today almost all the lone children in custody are unaccompanied minors because it is difficult to identify parents in a foreign country.

So you are very much against separating children from criminal parents?  That leaves only two choices.  1) Put children in prison with their parents.  And rapists, child molesters, murderers.  2) Don't prosecute criminals that have children with them.  Regardless of crime, regardless if the children are theirs.  Which do you choose?

That’s the problem with liberals though Becky. The law of unintended consequences doesn’t exist in their world, as they are only judged on their intentions. Whatever problems come from their policies is not their concern, including the 13 year old girl who will be sold into sex slavery or worse. It simply doesn’t matter to them, as long as they get congratulated by their fellow SJWs for thinking about “the other guy”, even if their policy results in extreme cruelty and grotesque consequences for throw-away victims.
