So there’s been much flak thrown from the left, and even some on the right, about Donald Trump saying that he won the popular vote because there were many illegal votes that should not have counted for Hillary. We believe him, but most don’t. Here’s why he might be right.
What many aren’t taking into account is that the liberals have a long and well documented history of letting illegal immigrants vote. A practice that should not count towards vote totals.
President-elect Donald Trump set off a media wildfire when he tweeted out this message last Sunday: “In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.”
Now, voter-integrity activists say he may be right about winning the popular vote among qualified registered citizens – the only people legally permitted to participate in federal elections.
Catherine Engelbrecht of True the Vote, who waged a years-long fight against the IRS over its targeting of conservative groups, said she’s convinced Trump is correct.
Her group “absolutely supports President-elect Trump recent comment about the impact of illegal voting, as reflected in the national popular vote.”
She promised reliable estimates of the number of illegal-alien voters are on the way.
“We are still collecting data and will be for several months, but our intent is to publish a comprehensive study on the significant impact of illegal voting in all of its many forms and begin a national discussion on how voters, states and the Trump administration can address this growing problem,” she said.
So the liberals are lying again? YOU DON’T SAY.
While there are no reliable figures yet on the number of illegal-alien voters, indications of the impact are there, said the Heritage Foundation’s Hans Von Spakovsky.
He cited to WND Tuesday a case brought by the Public Interest Legal Foundation that found some 1,000 non-citizens registered to vote in just a eight Virginia counties shortly before the election.
And those were all legal residents
Many, he noted, already had voted in prior elections.
“We wouldn’t have known about them if the foundation hadn’t sued to get the information,” he said.
And, he noted, a 2013 survey by John McLaughlin found 13 percent of non-citizen Hispanics admitted they were registered to vote.
“There needs,” he said, “to be serious questions answered.”
But wait, that’s not all.
William Gheen, president of the non-profit Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, said Trump “is absolutely correct that large volumes of illegal votes were cast in the 2016 presidential race predominantly for Democrat candidates and illegal immigrants were brought across the borders to reinforce Obama and Hillary Clinton in these elections.”
“Obama himself admitted on video to Spanish language audiences comprised of illegal immigrants that illegals would face no scrutiny or hindrances registering to vote and voting, both of which are felonies and deportable offenses,” he pointed out.
So when you hear things like “Hillary won the popular vote” you can say something like, “yes she did. Illegally and fraudulently because of mass illegal immigrant votes.” But the electoral college saw right through that scam.
Hillary’s done and Donald Trump is going to be our president. Can’t get much better than that.
