That at least ONE illegal immigrant in California voted.


Well? Would you take that bet?

The Founders hated democracy.
They instituted a republican form of government - in 1776.
But the socialist democrats think that a mob of "takers" can override the "taken" by sheer mass of voters.
Of course, that is the bane of all democracies - the practice of "voting" oneself a living at the expense of another.
The end is nigh.

= = =
If you recall, only representatives (House) were to be elected by a popular majority.
Senators were to be selected by their State government (governor or legislature).
The president and v.p. were selected by the Electoral College, again, not by popular vote.

Trump believes the electoral college is bad for this country as well.

I have no doubt a few illegal immigrants voted but i have no way of proving that statement,i'm highly skeptical that millions of illegal immigrants voted thus the post asking for reliable data on the subject,

There is no "popular vote excuse". All candidates registered to run under the same rules. The rules did not change. One lost under the electoral college, the other won. The time to try and make changes would be before the election, not after. Will it change? No. This is what prevents liberals from stacking states with Democrat voting illegals to sway the vote.

Of course there are no reliable facts about how many illegals are voting in CA just like there are no reliable facts about how many illegals live in the state. The fact remains though that some do vote, it's not known in what numbers.
Being illegal in CA means you can do things almost without consequences since technically, you're not even really here. Add to that that CA is virtually a sanctuary state again with no consequences and no repercussions for being illegal. It's quite easy to register to vote and there are no voter I.D. laws in place in CA. CA has at least one city where they allow illegals to be City Counsel members. Do you really seriously think illegals aren't voting in CA?

Your vote did count, if you suspect otherwise I suggest you talk to your state's election board and bring them some proof.

In the end it does not actually matter, since no matter how many illegals voted in California the State was going to remain Blue. The problem is not who voted but how many did not vote, that is how 27% of voters can elect a President, amazing.

They have done nothing but whine and cry as evidenced by this forum.

It works both ways.

As Herman Munster said, "I demand a recount! This election was fixed!" I guess she thought she would play that game...
I don't know. She didn't get one dime from me. I saw it as an attempt to keep herself relevant.

Wrong again.
I realize that Hillary would still have won CA even without the illegal vote.
But it does matter for future elections. California needs cleaning up, so that the same thing doesn't happen next time. If we clean up the system, making sure that only legal votes are cast, I'm OK if the D candidate wins again next time around. I am NOT ok with my vote being minimized. NOT - OK.
