Thread: Illegals Registering To Vote In Maryland!

I haven't posted this on any blogs, but I do intend to conduct my own investigation of this. I need to know how to legally pursue it. I'd like to take a camcorder and tape it, because I'm sure it happens on a regular basis. I just need to make sure that in the process of filming this, I do everything within the law.

I will also search to find info pertaining to citizenship requirements, but I'm pretty sure English is a requirement. I'm going to check it now. We simply cannot allow illegal aliens to influence our elections.

Gee Deb, it seems every one of them can be disqualified on just this one requirement

"is or has been involved in smuggling illegal aliens into the United States "

as in smuggling themselves in

The scene you witnessed should be reported to your local district attorney. If you don't get an appropriate response from that office, call the state attorney general and ask for the elections division.

We, along with others who are resisting this outrage, should be prepared to contest every election in which illegal immigrants are allowed to vote. In jurisdictions where there are large concentrations of illegals their criminal votes can completely overcome the will of legal citizens.

We should continue to urge state lawmakers to pass laws that mandate severe punishment for those who fraudulently register to vote.

We have discussed class action law suits many times on this board. This is one that could actually work. Allowing illegal immigrants to register will disenfranchise the legal citizens. It is certainly something the ACLU should take up.

You go girl! Don't let up!

Be careful, didn't the dems pass some kinda law about asking anyone about their citizenship on voting matters? I know that sounds crazy but I know I heard something on that line, and as nuts as they have gotten about protecting their "rights" they will twist that and put you in jail... The dems will do anything to get that block of votes.. Will see if I can find that info.

Oh, I have expected this to happen. And it could throw our national election into total turmoil and chaos --

oh, wait a minute ...isn't that what they want??

THIS, over all issues, has got to just make my blood boil more than any other. And I think it's going to take way more than just writing letters to our representatives ... heck, these people dont' care what we think anyway.

I think voting areas should be guarded on voting day. Just because they are registered, doesn't mean they can walk into those voting places. It can be prevented somehow, couldn't it?
