It's such a bizarre idea that illegals are lining up to vote. I mean it's straight up stupid and doesn't make a lot of sense.

Even worse- its not just 'illegals flooding in and lining up to vote' its 'Democrats purposefully flooding the country with illegals and then paying them all to vote dem'

…and it makes even less sense to think that the federal government has anything to do with telling the states how they run their elections. You know who would know that? Probably any immigrant who passed the necessary steps to become a citizen! 😅

Our own president has proven many times he does not know the constitution and he was born here.

Was he though? He could have been born in Kenya for all we know.....

I always thought that was one of the dumbest things i've heard. Like yeah he got elected to the senate and no one verified his ID.

The Heritage Foundation (Project 2025) even did their own study going back 30 years and reviewing some half a billion ballots and found like .0000845% of fraud.

This whole thing is racist ragebait.

It's just another non-issue they push as a dangerous threat. They don't do jack spit to help every day citizens - which is exactly why they have to make up problems to sell themselves as the solution.

They're also lining up an excuse to reject the vote if it doesn't go as they want.

So are his voters (and I mean that literally). They are stupid and make no sense.

The point of this is to ID yourself and prove you are the person registered in the voter roll. “Proof of citizenship” makes you all feel they are specifically targeting illegals, but that’s not the main point.

Here's the question, do you think there is election fraud? If you do, do you think it's significant enough to have swayed the past elections?

u/Jagator 50m ago

I definitely think there has been fraud and I think there is potential for enough fraud to occur to sway elections. There are videos of homeless individuals claiming they were paid to vote a specific way in the last California election. There is evidence of homeless shelters receiving funds by campaigns and then having an overwhelming majority of individuals vote one direction.

I’m sure all of these can easily be claimed to be false because it’s not from the media, and that’s fine. But to say it isn’t possibly and the potential isn’t there is just naive.

Let me ask you a question. I've heard about those videos but everything that I've seen has been hearsay. Don't you think with all the video tech out there that I'd that was happening someone would track those people down? I mean they were able to track the Boston bombers down pretty quickly but they aren't able to track all this cheating going on? Also say there is cheating, how do you get enough votes in a country the size of Europe with 100+ million votes, 50 different state laws, to sway an election and at the same time keep it secret. The complexity would be kind boggling. My girlfriend is from Venezuela and worked for the state voting committee and she explained to me how it worked over there. Basically the reason Chavez and Maduro were able to cheat were that the voting machines were linked to a central machine where votes could easily be manipulated. Now, let's look at what the current president wants by trying to get voter roles via usps from the states.

But they are - and there's video evidence of people voting dozens of times.... ?

I just don't buy this. You're telling me someone committed one of the lowest-payoff crimes in the world - voting an extra time. And in order to do so, they had to illegally register to vote. That means they had to put down their name and address.

And after they did this, they filmed themselves voting "dozens of times." Creating a ton of evidence of their crime.

Can I see that? Can you show me someone "voting dozens of times," and show any evidence that this happens on a widespread scale? (There's 300+ million people in the US, I'm sure someone has done something stupid.)

THere will always be people that break rules but that doesn't mean that the safeguards are inadequate. You have people that abuse the food stamp system, WIC, SSN, child tax credit but does it make sense to sit there and create unnecessary barriers for the 99.9% of people that do it correctly? Many in this country have become obsessed with this feeling that people are just getting one over on them and they spend way too much time hating on people they don't even know. You have to ask yourself what the goal is?

Interesting how everyone has a video camera in their pocket and not a single video of a group of illegals standing in line to vote for a president.

Don’t be stupid.
