Anyone Think Illegals Voting Will Tip Elections?
Ohio Secretary of State John Husted told Congress last week that Barack Obama’s amnesty is going to add millions of illegals to the voter rolls. That’s because Obama’s move makes it possible for illegals to obtain Social Security numbers, while several states issue them driver’s licenses. “These are the same documents that federal law requires the states to recognize as valid forms of identification for voter registration,” Husted warned. “There is no way for us to validate [U.S. citizenship], since under the executive actions previously undocumented non-citizens will have access to the same documents as U.S. citizens.” Of course, Obama’s intent was to build an enduring Democrat base of new voters who owe him and his party their allegiance. Investor’s Business Daily wonders, “What kind of country is it that lets those who are not citizens decide who governs those who are? If any foreigner can now vote here, is the United States even a country anymore? If Congress doesn’t stop it soon, de facto enfranchising of illegals will be our road to ruin.” It will certainly tip elections. As Husted testified, in just the last 15 months, some 70 Ohio elections were either tied or decided by a single vote. And the 2000 presidential election was decided by 537 votes in Florida. Now send millions of illegals to the voting booth.
