Why Demorats do not want voter ID, and why they want illegals to vote:

Could non-citizens decide the November election?

by Jesse Richman and David Earnest

Could control of the Senate in 2014 be decided by illegal votes cast by non-citizens? Some argue that incidents of voting by non-citizens are so rare as to be inconsequential, with efforts to block fraud a screen for an agenda to prevent poor and minority voters from exercising the franchise, while others define such incidents as a threat to democracy itself. Both sides depend more heavily on anecdotes than data.

In a forthcoming article in the journal Electoral Studies, we bring real data from big social science survey datasets to bear on the question of whether, to what extent, and for whom non-citizens vote in U.S. elections. Most non-citizens do not register, let alone vote. But enough do that their participation can change the outcome of close races.

That is precisely what the Demorats want.

Our data comes from the Cooperative Congressional Election Study (CCES). Its large number of observations (32,800 in 2008 and 55,400 in 2010) provide sufficient samples of the non-immigrant sub-population, with 339 non-citizen respondents in 2008 and 489 in 2010. For the 2008 CCES, we also attempted to match respondents to voter files so that we could verify whether they actually voted.

But here’s the Crux of the Biscuit:

Because non-citizens tended to favor Democrats (Obama won more than 80 percent of the votes of non-citizens in the 2008 CCES sample), we find that this participation was large enough to plausibly account for Democratic victories in a few close elections. Non-citizen votes could have given Senate Democrats the pivotal 60th vote needed to overcome filibusters in order to pass health-care reform and other Obama administration priorities in the 111th Congress.

And there you go.  “Non-citizens tended to favor Democrats.”  That is precisely the reason for the Demorat pushback on voter ID laws, and the insistence on not closing our southern border.  It is no more complicated or craven than that.  Demorats seeking perpetual and unchallenged power.

  2. Just voted here in TEXAS. 2 forms of ID req’d.
    There are a lot of mexican nationals around here working in hard labor type jobs.
    But vote here,,,,NO.

    • Just had a shooting here in my agency, one of my deputies was killed as was another deputy in a neighboring county. I am going to determine if the Mexican suspect was illegal or not.

      • Sorry for your departments losses. Hope you guys give the shooter a dirt nap first, then check his nationality. Good hunting.

  3. I just read about it!
    An illegal bastard. Been caught, deported, many times. Since around 1995.
    Hope they convict him and use him to check out the prison meat grinders.
