There’s a long-held belief in American politics that the more people who vote, the better it is for the Democrats. Ask any Democrat, and he’ll tell you. But it isn’t for the reason he thinks. It isn’t because the voiceless masses are finally being given a voice.

The real reason is that it affords the Democrats a better chance to cheat. Which is why, as the New York Post reports, they’re working furiously to flood the zone: “Welfare offices and other agencies in 49 US states are providing voter registration forms to migrants without requiring proof of citizenship.”

It sounds outrageous, but it’s true. The Post continues: “Every state but Arizona — which recently passed a law barring the practice on state but not federal forms — gives applicants for either welfare benefits, driver’s licenses, or in some cases, mail-in ballots voter registration forms without demanding proof of citizenship.”

Six weeks ago, we noted this phenomenon in the reliably red state of South Carolina, where Joe Biden’s Executive Order 14019 is bearing its rotten fruit. Indeed, that EO, which a newly elected Biden signed way back on March 7, 2021, requires all 600-some federal agencies to “expand citizens’ opportunities to register to vote and to obtain information about, and participate in, the electoral process.”

Thus, EO 14019 is little more than a get-out-the-vote campaign for Democrats.

While it’s true that the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 far predates the Biden EO and requires states to register voters at the Department of Motor Vehicles and at other agencies where Americans apply for benefits, that statute applies to American citizens, not illegal aliens. Democrats, though, can’t be bothered by such details.

Why, you ask, would the Democrats be greasing the skids for illegal aliens to vote when all they really need to do is make sure that more eligible Americans are registered to vote? Because, as we noted at the outset, that long-held belief no longer holds true, because Donald Trump has remade the electorate. Even The New York Times acknowledged this recently: “In a reversal of one of the most familiar patterns in American politics, it appears that Donald J. Trump, not President Biden, would stand to gain if everyone in the country turned out and voted.” The Times continues:

The pattern is the latest example of how the Trump brand of conservative populism has transformed American politics. His candidacy galvanized liberals to defend democracy and abortion rights, giving Democrats the edge in low-turnout special and midterm elections. Yet at the same time, early polls suggest, many less engaged and infrequent voters have grown deeply dissatisfied with Mr. Biden.

This reality, as much as the reality of Joe Biden’s enfeebled state, has the Democrats in a panic. And so, if the Democrats can’t rally and ramp up those less-engaged and infrequent voters, these mostly young and non-white Americans, they need to look elsewhere — which is why they’re registering illegals.

What on earth are our elected representatives doing about all this? It’s a good question. And Texas Congressman Chip Roy has something of an answer. As the New York Post adds: “The House Administration Committee last month approved the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act to require states to receive proof of citizenship when anyone registers to vote by mail, at a DMV or a welfare agency office.”

It’s hard to know whether this measure is too little, too late for the upcoming presidential election, but the stakes couldn’t be higher. “While Biden and radical progressive Democrats give ISIS and criminals an app to literally schedule their illegal entry,” said Roy, “Republicans must fight any chance of illegal voter registration until we can mass deport.”

Anyone who still wonders how January 6 could’ve happened — and how an even more violent version of it could yet occur — need only consider the obvious: The Democrats have wrecked our confidence in the reliability of our electoral process. Between now and November 5, you’ll see them prattling on incessantly about how Donald Trump is such a grave threat to our democracy (it’s a republic, but whatever), and yet all along, they’ve been sowing ever greater doubt in the honesty of our elections.

This gradual erosion of the things we hold dear is what cultural Marxism is all about, and it’s all part of the Left’s Long March through the Institutions, as Marxist theorist Antonio Gramsci called it nearly a century ago. And that, friends, is the real threat to our constitutional republic.
