Washington Times article today on research and surveys that shows at least 2 million illegals could easily have voted.
Quote from article:

"Contrary to the claims of many media outlets and so-called fact-checkers, this nationally representative scientific poll confirms that a sizable number of non-citizens in the U.S. are registered to vote,” Mr. Agresti said.

Nearly 2 million non-citizen Hispanics illegally registered to vote - Washington Times

We previously lived in a border state, and over the years the Border Patrol and the police told us when dealing with illegals, they often found voter registration cards on them. There's no reason these various LE agents would have lied to us -- in fact some were Hispanic.

There is no doubt that voter fraud goes on but in the millions I doubt it but who really knows.
It is not only illegals but also citizens that have residence in 2 states like college students etc..

I don't know why we can't have voter ID laws. We have to show a photo ID for most things today. The last time I bought Nyquil at Walmart I had to show my drivers license. So why can't we require a photo ID when voting. Why do the Dems oppose this so much?

I believe it's democrats stopping the voter ID program, as they (1) think blacks are too stupid too get a voter ID, so it's a burden to them, or voter suppression, and (2) they want illegals to be able to vote.

Offensive much? No Democrat I know thinks that way.

Now President Bannon has said that only people who own property should be able to vote, so we'll see how far they go with voter suppression in this administration.

I just don't personally believe it's that high, but that is just my opinion.

My guesstimate would be about 360,000.

Around 60% of the American public votes. I'd guess the percentage of illegals is about 10% of that putting it at 6%.

Let's say there are 6 million illegals of voting age. 6% of that would be 360,000.

But, that's just my guess.

Sure they do, which is why they always say voter ID disenfranchises black voters.

OP I don't think (per your subject line) that that PROVES anything however it may be a place to start an investigation and it might be reason to suspect there is indeed reason TO investigate. Those are significant numbers they talk about.

Oh come on, just because they CAN vote does not mean they DO vote. Seriously, ILLEGAL immigrants are all good people. They only break the laws that THEY disagree with. I am sure they agree they should not vote. Just because they are forced to break the laws such as illegally entering our country, illegally driving, illegally stealing SS# etc.. DOES NOT MEAN they would illegally vote. That's a no no... those others are laws that make their lives hard so they HAVE to break them.

What does that have to do with stupidity? Not everyone has access to the same resources as you. Does that make you superior?

As an American, I think we should have more citizens voting, not fewer

Of course they do!
Every time it's brought up, the D establishment accuses Rs of being racist because its such a burden for blacks to get a voter ID card.
