New Study Reveals Shocking
Information About Trump’s Voter Fraud Claims (Video), 1/29/17, Voice of Reason
As was the case when candidate Trump
said things on the campaign trail, now that he is president, often times after
Donald Trump makes certain comments he is immediately laughed at by both the
Democrats and the mainstream media. Considering how often both groups have
underestimated Trump, and how often he’s proven them wrong, one would think
they might have learned by now to hold off on the ridicule, at least
temporarily.
When Donald Trump said he believes he
not only won the electoral vote, but that he also won the popular vote if all
the fraud was removed from the final numbers, the far-left went bananas. At
least they’re consistent, right? Now President Trump has launched an
investigation into the alleged voter fraud, and Democrats and the mainstream
media are in full panic mode.
What follows in the video below, and in two
posts that will follow this one, should demonstrate that there is good reason
for the far-left to begin panicking. Based on what we've learned from two
separate nonpartisan watchdog groups who estimate as many as seven million
votes for Hillary could have been fraudulent, what we’ve learned about a newly
opened investigation by Inspector General of the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS), John Roth, that is investigating why Obama’s DHS attempted
to hack several state’s election systems, and what we’ve learned about a new
study performed by political scientist Jesse Richman of
Old Dominion University, it looks like Democrats might have good reason to be
nervous…
GRASSFIRE, and REAL AMERICA TV Washington Time Reports: Hillary Clinton garnered more than 800,000 votes from noncitizens
on Nov. 8, an approximation far short of President Trump’s estimate of up to 5
million illegal voters but supportive of his charges of fraud.
Political scientist Jesse Richman of Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, has
worked with colleagues to produce groundbreaking research on noncitizen voting,
and this week he posted a blog in response to Mr. Trump’s assertion.
Based on national polling by a consortium of
universities, a report by Mr. Richman said 6.4 percent
of the estimated 20 million adult noncitizens in the U.S. voted in November. He extrapolated that that percentage would have added 834,381 net votes for Mrs. Clinton, who received about 2.8 million more votes than Mr.
Trump.
Mr. Richman calculated that Mrs. Clinton would have collected 81 percent of noncitizen
votes.“Is it plausible that non-citizen votes added to Clinton’s margin? Yes,” Mr. Richman wrote. “Is it plausible that non-citizen votes
account for the entire nation-wide popular vote margin held by Clinton? Not at all.”
Still, the finding is significant because it
means noncitizens may have helped Mrs. Clinton carry a state or finish better than she
otherwise would have.
Mr. Trump’s unverified accusation to
congressional leaders this week, as reported by The Washington Post, has sent
the issue skyward.
He apparently was
referring to all types of fraud, such as the “dead” voting or multiple votes
from the same person. But the thrust of his estimate appears to be that illegal
immigrants and noncitizens carried the popular vote.
He returned to the issue Thursday in
Philadelphia, where he spoke to congressional Republicans mapping this year’s
legislative calendar.
“We also need to keep the ballot box safe from
illegal voting,” the president said. “And, believe me, you take a look at
what’s registering, folks. Take a look at what’s registering. We are going to
protect the integrity of the ballot box, and we are going to defend the votes
of the American citizen, so important.”
The mainstream
media reacted to Mr. Trump’s assertion with derision. Liberal pundits said
there is no evidence of fraud.
CNN’s
Jake Tapper called it “a stunning allegation for which the White House is
providing no evidence. And there is a reason they are providing no evidence
there is no evidence. It is not true.”
Esquire.com said,
“The most bizarre lie of Donald Trump’s presidency so far is his claim of
widespread voter fraud in an election he won.”
But conservative activists say the liberal media
are ignoring evidence that noncitizen voting is illegal and, thus, fraud. They
say the Justice Department in the Obama administration was more concerned with
preventing states from cleansing rosters of dead and inactive voters than in
mounting any investigation into fraud.
“Most voters are never asked for voter ID, so
it is dishonest to suggest that with the tens of millions of illegal and legal
aliens here, there is no voter fraud,” said Tom Fitton, who heads the
conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch. “If the key Old Dominion study
results on the 2008 election are applied to 2016, 1.41 million aliens may have
voted illegally, with 1.13 million voting for Democrats.”
“A federal voter
fraud investigation is long overdue,” Mr. Fitton said. “It would be a simple
matter of analyzing voter registration databases against federal databases of
aliens and deceased individuals. Why is the left afraid to even ask the
questions? The jig is up.”
There does not appear to be any concerted
postelection effort by states to take on the daunting task of checking voter
rolls and ballots to verify citizenship. In some states, no ID is required to
register and vote.
In the absence of
detailed accounting, the only scientific way to make an estimate is by
post-vote polling.
Mr. Richman relies on a one-of-a-kind poll: the
Cooperative Congressional Election Survey. Every two years, a consortium of 28
universities produces a detailed report on voters and their views based on
polling by YouGov.
Tucked inside the lengthy questionnaire is a
question on citizenship status: A significant number of respondents anonymously
acknowledged they were not citizens when they voted.
Three professors at
Old Dominion University, Mr. Richman, Gulshan A. Chattha and David C. Earnest took
these answers, did further research and extrapolated that of a 19.4 million
estimate of adult noncitizens, about 620,000 were illegally registered to vote
in the 2008 presidential election. Using other measuring tools, they said, the
actual number of noncitizen voters could be as low as 38,000 and as high as 2.8
million.
The U.S. Census Bureau reported in 2012 that
there are 22 million noncitizens in the country. The group comprises illegal
immigrants and people in the U.S. legally on a visa or permanent resident green
card. Of this 22 million, 20 million were 18 or older, the U.S. voting age
requirement.
Conservatives have
long suspected that Democrats are tacitly encouraging illegal immigrants to
vote. Liberal leaders have created “sanctuary cities” across the nation that
refuse to work with federal immigration enforcement authorities.
President Obama was asked during the campaign
last year if illegal immigrants had anything to fear from federal authorities
if they voted in the presidential race.
“Many of the millennials, Dreamers,
undocumented citizens and I call them citizens because they contribute to this
country are fearful of voting,” he was asked on a Latino YouTube channel. “‘So
if I vote, will Immigration know where I live? Will they come for my family and
deport us?’”
“Not true, and the reason is, first of all,
when you vote, you are a citizen yourself,” Mr. Obama said. “And there is not a
situation where the voting rolls somehow are transferred over and people start
investigating, etc. The sanctity of the vote is strictly confidential.”
Some conservatives
interpreted Mr. Obama’s answer as a go-ahead signal, with his questionable
assertion that voter rolls are off limits to federal investigators.
The WikiLeaks dump
of Clinton campaign manger John Podesta’s emails contained one
message on directing immigrants to vote. He said immigrants should obtain
driver’s licenses and then attest at a polling place that they are U.S.
citizens.
