Bombshell: Over 1,000
Illegal Voters in Eight Virginia Localities, by Kristie McDonald, 10/2/16 New report finds evidence of widespread voter fraud
in the crucial swing state
More than
1,000 aliens, or residents who are not U.S. citizens, have been free to vote
illegally in Virginia.
The bombshell
disclosure was made in a report released by the Virginia Voters Alliance based
on findings from the Public Interest Legal Foundation.
“The problem
is most certainly exponentially worse because we have no data regarding aliens
on the registration rolls for the other 125 Virginia localities.”
The 1,046
Virginia voters may just be the tip of the iceberg, as it’s only the number
found in eight Virginia localities, the report reads. The report found that the
most illegal votes were cast in 2012, followed by 2008, the year President
Obama was elected to his first term. In both years, Obama won Virginia.
It’s a felony
for non-citizens to vote in Virginia. But in Virginia, no proof of citizenship
is required when voters register.
In some
cases, aliens and permanent residents will register to vote and either admit on
the form they are not citizens, or they will mislead, according to Christian
Adams, general counsel for the foundation. Local officials can check each voter
later by matching data from the Virginia driver’s license bureaus, where the
aliens in question are usually likely not to mislead authorities on their
status.
The
disclosure is a major problem for Virginia and the nation. One thousand votes
or so is enough to swing a close election in the state. In 2013, the Democratic
candidate for attorney general won by fewer than 1,000 votes.
It’s also not
inconceivable that a presidential race could come down to 1,000 votes or less,
as happened in Florida in 2000. Like Florida, Virginia is considered a swing
state.
The Virginia
Voters Alliance looked into the issue first with Alexandria, Virginia. The
alliance noticed that the Northern Virginia City had more people registered to
vote than eligible voters who lived there.
