No widespread evidence of migrant voting fraud despite Trump's claims, review finds

A federal review of voter data found no evidence of widespread voting fraud by non-citizens, contradicting frequent claims from the president and his allies that undocumented immigrants are flocking to the polls. Under the Trump administration, states and local election departments have voluntarily submitted voter records to the Department of Homeland Security for review.
After checking about 49.5 million voter registrations, the department referred about 10,000 cases to Homeland Security Investigations for further inspection, officials told The New York Times, and not all of the flagged individuals have necessarily voted.
At least 14 Republican-controlled secretary of states offices have committed publicly to using the federal review tool, known as Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements, a government program designed not for election reviews but for vetting applicants for programs like driver's licenses and Social Security benefits.
Researchers have long said there is no evidence of widespread non-citizen voting, but President Trump and his supporters frequently claim the contrary.

You can't vote unless you are a registered
voter and you can't register to vote unless you are an American Citizen. BTW undocumented migrants do not want to be
deported if their status is discovered and
registering to vote can do just that.

(76,459 posts)... is phony. MAGA real support is 500 miles wide and a 1/10 of an inch deep. About 80% or more of pro MAGA web sites
are foreign operations in S. America, Asia, Eastern Europe, and other places. Sites like MAGA for America is in Brazil. Musk uses his Twitter to sell these phony sites as showing real evidence of the strength of
the movement and then rigs polls and elections with MAGA winning.
Google Musk, Twitter, & Foreign opertions.
Most all of those cut out sites can be traced back to Russia.

(3,451 posts)... you'd think that the M$M would know that Trump is a pathological liar, and that if he opens his mouth, he has lied, he is lying, or is about to lie. He considers truthfulness a weakness to be exploited, not a virtue to be emulated.
They should also think about this: If you support a traitor, you are a traitor. The proof of Trump's treason is voluminous and irrefutable. But the GOP is just fine with it, because their history of treachery is long, indeed.
