Voter fraud by illegal aliens ignored by government and media
By Jim Kouri
While the mainstream news media are beginning to cover the story of rampant voter fraud perpetrated by liberal organizations such as ACORN, don’t expect reporters to provide anymore than a passing interest in preventing illegal aliens — or even legal immigrants — from voting.
While President Barack Obama scolded corporate America, his service as an attorney for ACORN in the past prevents him from even once mentioning local, state and federal investigations of that organization as a result of numerous voter fraud allegations.
When voters discover fraud by a candidate they react. For example, in a 2006 congressional race in southern California between Republican Brian Bilbray and Democrat Francine Busby, Busby told a room full of illegal aliens that they didn’t need “papers” — meaning identification — to vote. Thank goodness it was recorded and played on talk radio shows across the nation. Busby lost because she got caught saying what many other Democrats may tell illegal aliens.
A recent study released by the conservative think-tank the Heritage Foundation provides proof that illegal aliens and immigrants with green cards are committing rampant voter fraud in the United States.
Reports of ineligible persons registering to vote have raised concerns about state processes for verifying voter registration lists. States usually base voter eligibility on the voter’s age, US citizenship, mental competence, and felon status.
Although individual states run elections, Congress has authority to affect the administration of the elections. The Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) had set a deadline for states to have a statewide voter registration list and list verification procedures.
For example, the methods used in seven selected states to verify voter eligibility and ensure accuracy of voter registration lists were varied and include relying on registrant self attestation, return mailings, and checking against lists of felony convictions or deceased individuals. Some states, for instance, failed to do any more than ask on their application forms if the registrant was a US citizen. The applicant will merely check off the “Yes” box, but there is no action taken to verify the authenticity of that answer.
“The voter registration officials simply take the word of the registrant with no follow-up,” said conservative political strategist Michael Baker.
“Some states that require some backup documentation merely ask for a utility bill or a driver’s license — neither of which prove citizenship. In other words, legal or illegal aliens can easily register to vote in local and national elections,” warns Baker.
According to a Congressional study of voter fraud, other challenges such as identifying duplicate registrations in other states or having insufficient information to match other data sources with voter registration lists may continue to be issues. http://www,gao.gov/htext/d05478.html
While federal data sources have the potential to help state election officials identify registrants who may be convicted felons or non-citizens, few states communicate with federal agencies such as the Homeland Security Department’s immigration section.
Many government officials — mostly liberals — claim that illegal aliens voting is not a major problem, conservative activists respond that while the potential number identified may be small, an election can be decided by a few votes. In 2000, the presidential race between Democrat Al Gore and Republican George W. Bush was decided by a few hundred votes in Florida.
“While the news media perpetuated the assertion that Bush and the GOP ’stole’ the election, it could very well have been illegal aliens voting in Florida that made the outcome so close,” said former NYPD cop, now security firm owner, Sid Francis.
“Bush may have beaten Gore by more votes if illegals were excluded, since immigrants tend to vote for Democrats. Or Gore could have won decisively had there been prior screening before people were allowed into the voting booths,” said Det. Francis.
“There was absolutely no mention in the mainstream media regarding suspected voter fraud by illegal or legal aliens. It was much easier for the agenda-driven newspeople to accuse Republicans of stealing the election,” added Baker.
“Florida is not unique. Thousands of non-citizens are registered to vote in some states, and tens if not hundreds of thousands in total may be present on the voter rolls nationwide. These numbers are significant: Local elections are often decided by only a handful of votes, and even national elections have likely been within the margin of the number of non-citizens illegally registered to vote,” said Hans A. von Spakovsky, a researcher at the Heritage Foundation.
“There is no reliable method to determine the number of non-citizens registered or actually voting because most laws to ensure that only citizens vote are ignored, are inadequate, or are systematically undermined by government officials. Those who ignore the implications of non-citizen registration and voting either are willfully blind to the problem or may actually favor this form of illegal voting,” said Spakovsky, an expert on the subject of illegal aliens and immigration law, during an interview on Fox News Channel.
As far as felons, US Attorneys are required to notify state election officials of federal felony convictions, but the information is not always easy for election officials to interpret or complete, according to New Jersey GOP strategist Janice Martin.
“Americans would be shocked to discover that hundreds of thousands of general election voters are illegal aliens, green-card immigrants, and criminals who’ve murdered, raped and robbed US citizens. And guess which political party benefits the most from their votes? The one that’s pushing for amnesty and a bag full of free goodies,” said Martin.
Dr. von Spakovsky believes many government officials and politicians are complicit in the voter fraud problem.
“To keep non-citizens from diluting citizens’ votes, immigration and election officials must cooperate far more effectively than they have to date, and state and federal officials must increase their efforts to enforce the laws against non-citizen voting that are already on the books,” he wrote in his Heritage Foundation study on illegal alien voter fraud. http://www.heritage.org/
Just last month, in an extremely close race in Minnesota between incumbent Senator Norm Coleman and comedian Al Franken, Franken was finally declared a winner months after the actual election. While the recount battle raged, no one within the government or within the news media gave a thought to investigating whether or not illegal aliens or legal immigrants voted in the Minnesota for that contested senate seat. Franken’s win gives the Democrats something they dreamed of achieving — a 60 seat majority that would ward off any Republican filibuster of their liberal-left legislation.
“While the liberal media and the liberal establishment ignore what is a huge scandal, American voters are having their rights violated. When an illegal alien or felon or other person prohibited by law to vote, their votes cancels out those of American citizens,” warns Baker.
“Liberals want illegal aliens and felons to vote. They benefit from such rampant fraud.”

During the 2006 Illegal Alien nation-wide public temper tantrums...a.k.a. as "marches"...the SEIU/ACORN/LULCAC and such had "voter registrations" going on....no one was checking just who was registering who.....l
In Illinois, there was a Matricula Consular fair at a public school sponsored by the Mexican government...and guess what? There also was "voter registration"......no one obtaining a Matricula Consular card is a U.S. citizen eligible to vote...so just who were they trying to register?
In Lake County, Illinois, the clerk of courts confirmed that there were a significant number of improper registrations - even one to a pet rabbit. In one case, a person who received a jury summons, which relies on names taken from voter registrations, returned the summons with a note "I am not a citizen." _________________ "A Nation of sheep will beget a government of Wolves" -Edward R.

There are 20 million illegal invaders who's very existence in this country is dependent on breaking numerous laws on a daily basis in order to remain here. Breaking our laws in second nature to these people. What makes anyone believe our political system has not been infiltrated and tainted by this illegal invasion. Especially, when we have elected officials who are dead set against inacting voter id laws.

I bet If anyone actually gave a crap in the media our country might actually have real informed intelligent people deciding the fate of our country! But instead we have people that care only about worthless crap, that only have an opinion about potato chips and Jerry springer episodes.... _________________ Work Harder Millions on Welfare Depend on You!
In my opinion there is far more likely to have been illegal voting by legal immigrants. Illegal aliens are less likely to be interested in voting and to have access to the Motor Voter program.
Actually since there is now wide spread dual citizenship a Mexican immigrant could get a Matricula Consular. The Matricula Consular has a legitimate purpose. The Matricula Consular's original purpose was to make it easier for consular clerks to locate files in their filing cabinets. The misdeed came when they decided to use it for purposes far beyond that.

I live in an Hispanic community. When I vote it's so obvious there is voter fraud I can't believe anyone actually thinks it isn't happening. And, don't think for one instant that illegals don't care about voting. They know as soon as they get here because they are told. If they vote their pals in they get their way paved for them. Arizona has a couple of these idiots in office that I'm positive would not be in office if it were not for the illegals or legals who should not be voting coming to the polls.
I'm usually one of maybe 3 or 4 white people at my polling place. I have to show voter registration, driver's license, birth certificate, bills with my address. I never see the Hispanics, even the one's who can't speak English, showing this amount of ID. I'm pretty sick of this situation.
I remember a few years ago, when a candidate named Tan Nguyen was challenging Democratic Representative Loretta Sanchez for her House seat. A friend of Tan's campaign, without Tan's knowledge, sent out 14,000 mailings to "new arrivals" in Sanchez' district.
These fliers that were mailed had one simple message: If you can legally do so, then please exercise your rights and privileges and go ahead and vote. However, if you're not eligible to vote, the US Government has recently developed a system to identify illegal voters, and you will be prosecuted. (Not really true, but the whole purpose of the fliers was to discourage illegal voting. Tan had a fair chance of winning against Sanchez if the illegal votes could be nullified).
The Mainstream News Media swarmed all over this story, calling it an outrage. They tried to portray it as a story that "immigrants were being discriminated against". And that "there was some kind of implicit threat contained in the letter". Governator Arnold, who had not yet had his reputation tarnished, called it a "hate crime".
Just how "over-the-top" can they possibly get? Sheesh.
Secretary of State Bruce McPherson, who was presumably pressured by all kinds of liberal groups, took action. He sent out 14,000 mailings of his own to these same "new arrivals" to Sanchez' district. He began by saying please disregard the previous mailing you have received. Then he advised these 14,000 that all the identification that you need in order to vote is a utility bill or a bank statement! And he sent these mailings at American taxpayer's expense!
I was incensed when I first learned this. I sent a letter to McPherson, saying that I don't approve of my taxpayer dollars being spent for such an unnecessary action. Then I gave my reasons: the first mailing encouraged legal voting, and gave important, pertinent, legal information. But the second mailing actually encouraged fraudulent voters to break the law!
If I remember right, Sanchez defeated Nguyen by around 12,000 votes, which is within the margin of error of 14,000.
