The question of whether there will be cheating in the 2024 presidential election can now be answered affirmatively. Much of the problem rests in the issue of illegal aliens voting in potentially significant numbers.
Observers have long speculated on why Democrats so stringently opposed measures to secure the U.S. southern border, despite the pleas of even their own fellow party members. As noted by the Center for Immigration Studies “On January 11, Rep. Nathaniel Moran (R-Texas) introduced H. Res. 957—”Denouncing the Biden administration’s open-borders policies, condemning the national security and public safety crisis along the southwest border, and urging President Biden to end his administration’s open-borders policies”. That non-binding resolution isn’t exceptional, but what is out of the ordinary is that on the evening of January 17, 14 House Democrats (Reps. Colin Z. Allred (Texas); Yadira Caraveo (Colo.); Angie Craig (Minn.); Donald G. Davis (N.C.); Jared F. Golden (Maine); Vicente Gonzalez (Texas); Greg Landsman (Ohio); Susie Lee (Nev.); Jared Moskowitz (Fla.); Wiley Nickel (N.C.); Mary Sattler Peltola (Alaska); Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.); Eric Sorensen (Ill.); and Henry Cuellar (Texas)) voted with 211 of their GOP colleagues to pass it.”
While not openly confronting the Biden-Harris Administration, a number of big city mayors have also complained of the detrimental impact open borders has had on their jurisdictions.
Despite widespread opposition, the White House continued its border policy. The reason is evident: bringing in a population dependent on Democratic largess, and obviously grateful to the current Administration, could turn the political tide in favor of that party. It’s happening far more rapidly than previously believed.
The acceleration is due to tough opposition to voter ID laws, as well as other measures geared towards stopping ballot security. Even in GOP-leaning states, a comparatively small number of votes, coming illegally from non-citizens, could turn the tide in favor of the Democrats.
Most voters don’t believe state officials have done enough to prevent voting by illegal immigrants or to stop outside groups from interfering in elections.
The public has been paying attention. A Rasmussen survey in late August found that “that 32% of Likely U.S. Voters say election officials in their state have done nothing to prevent voting by illegal immigrants or haven’t mentioned it, while 20% say officials have announced some steps but they are not sufficient. Eighteen percent (18%) say election officials have announced steps that sound effective in addressing the threat of illegal immigrants voting, and eight percent (8%) say officials have outlined a detailed plan and it sounds effective. Twenty-one percent (21%) are not sure.”
Democratic party leaders haven’t been shy about their advocacy to rapidly allow illegal aliens to vote. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, appearing on Bill Maher’s program, advocated quickly turning these unlawful arrivals into citizens. California’s Democratic Party is so intent on allowing illegals to vote that its super-majority in the state legislature voted for a bill that would prohibit local governments from seeking to apply common-sense voter ID.
Democratic judges have even ignored voter demands for ballot security measures that would inhibit questionable voting practices. As noted by the New York Post “So much for no means no. That’s the message from the state Court of Appeals, which ruled last week that New Yorkers don’t need an excuse to cast an absentee ballot by mail when they’re otherwise able to vote in person — even though the voters themselves have directly rejected such a measure.”
There is pushback from some states. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has opened an investigation into reports that organizations operating in Texas may be unlawfully registering noncitizens to vote in violation of state and federal law.
In a Press Release, Paxton’s office reported that “Investigators from the Texas Attorney General’s Election Integrity Unit recently conducted undercover operations to identify potential voter registration of noncitizens in Texas. The investigation has already confirmed that various nonprofit organizations have been located outside Texas Department of Public Safety Driver License offices, operating booths offering to assist in voter registration for persons doing business at the driver’s license offices. But all citizens have already been presented an opportunity to register to vote as part of the process of renewing or being issued an identification card or driver’s license, so there is no obvious need to assist citizens to register to vote outside DPS offices—calling into question the motives of the nonprofit groups.” The release concluded that “Texans are deeply troubled by the possibility that organizations purporting to assist with voter registration are illegally registering noncitizens to vote in our elections. “
Measures such as ballot dumping in unsecured boxes, registration using drivers licenses issued to illegals, and others could well alter the outcome of the 2024 presidential race.
