    They must be panicking because they’ve found so few instances of illegal immigrants voting that even their delusional supporters won’t buy it. If they had found a couple thousand they could probably spin it as “these are the ones we found, there’s probably tens of thousands we haven’t!”, but I bet they’ve only been able to find less than a hundred so now they’re looking for a scapegoat to blame their failure on.

      I can’t imagine why an illegal immigrant would want to vote. The whole thing is ludicrous.

                Do our territories pay tax? It looks like they do… and they definitely have no representation (non-voting delegates, non-autonomy, the only thing they get is the ability to raise issues and vote on committees, and frankly that’s nothing.)

              Right? Like, that’s your thing right? Stealing money from people? How does this part not excite you? Do you even realize that this is happening?

            Voters are convinced they’re “stealing” benefits and politicians know the score. Yet another reason we’ll never meaningfully deal with immigration.

        I know many citizens who think voting is ludicrous. The system is broken and it’s definitely not the fault of illegal immigrants.

      I’ll bet they can’t find one illegally cast vote that was counted. People talk like it’s really uncommon. No, it’s so uncommon it never happens. I read some research that was done over a ten year period and they found less that 40 cases of vote fraud, almost none of which were for national office, and none of which had ever affected an outcome.

      Vote fraud in the US it’s effectively zero.

        with all this projection, some one should check Ted Cruz’s immigration status.

        Just saying. maybe we can deport him back to Canada.

            Strand him in an airport. Never to be released into either country. Always waiting for a flight to Cancun that keeps getting delayed forever.

            You sure? We could make it an “art” exhibit if we sent him there directly from Texas. We could even make it a symbol of peace like the statue of Liberty. Call it “the big splat” or something.

            Aww, don’t you think PP needs a friend?

            Seriously, we don’t want him back. Totally agree, “One of these days Teddy, one of these days.To the sun.”

      They won’t be panicking. They made up the lie that non citizens are voting, they know it’s not true.

          I, for one, welcome the Republican scrutiny on voter fraud so that we can finally find and address the cases of Republican voter fraud.

            That would be funny to watch them realise in real time that they are the baddies they fear. Sadly I doubt it would last more than .0000000000001 of a second, team politics

      They’re just in the phase of making bullshit requests and lawsuits without evidence so they can rile up the base about Biden being a party to voter fraud.
