[b][center][big]New Study Supports Trump: 5.7 Million Noncitizens May Have Cast Illegal Votes[/big][/center][/b]

A research group in New Jersey has taken a fresh look at postelection polling data and concluded that the number of noncitizens voting illegally in U.S. elections is likely far greater than previous estimates.

As many as 5.7 million noncitizens may have voted in the 2008 election, which put Barack Obama in the White House.

The research organization Just Facts, a widely cited, independent think tank led by self-described conservatives and libertarians, revealed its number-crunching in a report on national immigration.

Just Facts President James D. Agresti and his team looked at data from an extensive Harvard/YouGov study that every two years questions a sample size of tens of thousands of voters. Some acknowledge they are noncitizens and are thus ineligible to vote.

Tell me again...How many "Popular" votes did Hilary get?

Because that study is B.S, If that many non citizens voted, there would be more proof, and their would be more than a handful of convictions. Use common sense. If you're here illegally or a non citizen...why would you risk that by registering to vote? Their whole goal is to lay low.

@Cstmc:

Illegals from a foreign country are easily manipulated.

[i]"Look, we need you to vote for a certain candidate, to make sure you don't get deported". [/i]

"Well, I don't want to be deported so I'm going to follow the advise of this person because they live here and they want to help me".

That's why dems are against a photo ID to vote?

Cstmc · 36-40, M

Um no? That study is of the 2008 election before Trumps deportation threat, and Reps are for photo ID laws because a lot of poor people don't have one. Just one more obstacle between someone and the voting booth.

@Cstmc:

WHOA, You said: [i]"A lot of poor people don't have one"[/i] You can't be serious.
Photo ID's are easily accessible. Most government agencies offer them FREE.

They know how to apply for welfare. They could easily ASK for for a photo ID at the welfare office, when they apply. The poor know how to text on their phone....They know what to do when they get to the polls.

C'mon you'll have to come up with a better answer than that.

I never said they couldn't get one. I said they don't have one. Adding an extra step to a demographic that opposes you obviously will affect turnout.

@Cstmc:

DAH, if they want to vote, it's easy to get a photo ID.
Your argument is terribly flawed.

Cstmc · 36-40, M

It's actually not easy in a lot of places. Idk if you've ever been to a large city before but a trip to the DMV or a social security office is an all day thing. More than a minor inconvenience, and when barely half of the population votes in the first place, even a slight inconvenience can make a huge impact in turnout.

@Cstmc:
Oh my gosh...[i]"a minor inconvenience"[/i] You're joking, right?
And yet they find their way to the polls and ALWAYS vote for free goodies from the dems.....[b][i]and they are still POOR[/i][/b]

Doesn't make sense to me. wah, wah, wah.

You're looking at it as a person to person issue and not a wide based statistical strategy..which it is.

lov2smile · 36-40, F

@Cstmc:

You are making it more complicated than necessary. You need a license to drive, you need identification to get government welfare and free goodies. You just can't walk in in and get a check.

You're argument is flawed.

Cstmc · 36-40, M

In a large city, you don't need a driver's license, and you don't need an ID to get "free goodies". There are other ways to prove who you are.

YOUR argument is factually incorrect or incomplete.
