Despite Liberals’ Hysterical Denials, Aliens Are Registering and Voting
The truth is out there. Aliens are registering and voting in American elections. For anyone who cares to see it, the truth is available in public records in election offices across the nation. But unfortunately, those who expose the truth about voting by aliens—illegal immigrants or not—are subjected to ridicule and an onslaught from the Left to preserve the broken status quo. Some would prefer that anyone who documents aliens participating in American elections—especially with the current border crisis—simply disappear. The Daily Signal depends on the support of readers like you. Donate now We both testified recently before the House Administration Committee on this serious and real problem. The reactions of some Democrats on the committee were outlandish. They ignored or belittled the hard evidence we presented. Instead, the Democrats changed the topic to Donald Trump and hurled inaccurate insults at us. It would all be rank comedy if the topic weren’t so serious. Our written and oral testimony documented, in all, scores of aliens who registered, and many who voted, sometimes repeatedly, especially in presidential elections. There is evidence galore, not just sketchy reports of aliens landing in the United States and voting. According to one list, 19 aliens from Italy, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Haiti, the Philippines, Panama, South Korea, Poland, Guatemala, Nigeria, and Canada all were prosecuted and convicted in North Carolina for illegally voting in multiple state elections. We brought this to the attention of the House committee members. There was a Mr. Abdelmounim in Pittsburgh, who wrote a letter to Allegheny County election officials begging to be removed from the voter rolls because, he said, “I was mistakenly registered to vote because I did not understand the questions I was being asked” by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. He wasn’t alone. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 10,000 to 20,000 aliens were registered to vote by PennDOT in the past 20 years. This isn’t a rumor; this is an admission by Pennsylvania election officials in litigation brought by one of our organizations. There are sightings of other aliens by the thousands in Pennsylvania, aliens who voted, including a man named Conroy. He registered as a Democrat on Oct. 8, 2008, and later voted. Conroy wrote election officials asking to be removed from the voter rolls, saying, “I did not no [sic] I had to be a U.S. citizen to vot [sic].” Undeniable Evidence We presented similar hard, undeniable evidence of aliens voting in California, New Jersey, and, naturally, Chicago. In most instances, the aliens themselves admitted they were ineligible to vote as they begged to be removed from voter rolls. Many aliens are being registered to vote by election officials even after they answer a question on the voter registration form, “Are You a U.S. Citizen?”—you guessed it—with a “No.” That’s right: Aliens tell election officials they’re not eligible to vote, and they still get registered. We have collected hundreds of examples of this across the country. We call them “Checkbox No’s.”
Public Interest Legal Foundation has sought, or filed lawsuits to obtain, the official records of aliens who contacted county election officials on their own and asked to be taken off the registration list because they aren’t citizens or were discovered to be aliens through state driver’s license records. PILF’s findings include: Boston, Virginia, Arizona, North Carolina, Chicago, San Diego County, Pennsylvania, all of which have discovered examples of alien registrations & voter removals.
