The Thing That Never Happens With Voter Registration Happened Again
Democrats have been insisting for years that extra laws like the SAVE Act weren’t necessary to clean up voter rolls. “It’s already against the law for illegal immigrants to vote,” they told us repeatedly. That confidence is starting to look wildly misplaced.
They also insisted illegal immigrants weren’t voting in elections. But that thing that never happens happened again.
DHS wrote, “All Americans should support President Trump and Secretary Noem’s efforts to ensure that only Americans vote in American elections. DHS has revamped the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database to ensure government officials can swiftly verify statuses, stopping entitlements and voter fraud.”
A Texas election review has identified thousands of illegal immigrants on the state’s voter rolls, Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson said Monday.
Nelson said a cross-check of state voter records found that more than 2,700 possible illegal immigrants were registered on the voter rolls, leading to an eligibility review across the 254 counties.
The data came from a full comparison of Texas’s 18 million registered voters against federal citizenship records in the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ SAVE database, according to the secretary of state’s office.
“Only eligible United States citizens may participate in our elections,” Nelson said. “The Trump Administration’s decision to give states free and direct access to this data set for the first time has been a game changer, and we appreciate the partnership with the federal government to verify the citizenship of those on our voter rolls and maintain accurate voter lists.”
Earlier this month we learned the illegal immigrant who was hired as the Superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools was also illegally registered to vote in Maryland and was receiving ballots at a known address. Two weeks ago Townhall reported that Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul was appealing a ruling that would remove illegals from the state’s voter rolls. These aren’t isolated glitches; they’re a pattern the left keeps denying until the proof piles up.
As always, the Left’s arguments following such revelations always follow the same pattern:
- That thing isn’t happening.
- Okay, it’s happening, but it’s not that frequent.
- It’s happening, it’s a good thing, and you’re a bigot for noticing and complaining.
This is Step Two. When caught, the instinct is to minimize and pivot rather than fix the system that allowed it. That reflex explains why these problems persist across states and election cycles.
But as one X user noted, any illegal voting undermines democracy.
The so-called “defenders of democracy” should want clean voter rolls and accurate citizenship checks. They do not.
Every single time.
Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
