Hundreds of noncitizens were registered to vote in Philadelphia over the last decade, and at least 90 of them actually ended up casting ballots that should never have been allowed, City Commissioner Al Schmidt said Wednesday, adding more fuel to complaints of bogus voting in U.S. elections.
The voters are all self-admitted noncitizens who went back and canceled their registrations later — but not before casting illegal ballots a total of 227 times in elections in 2006 and 2007, Mr. Schmidt said.
He said most of those noncitizens signed up to vote at PennDOT, the state motor vehicles bureau, when they went to get a driver’s license. While legal residents and long-term visitors are allowed to hold licenses, they are not allowed to vote in federal elections — yet thanks to a federal law, the sign-up for both licenses and voter registration is often tied together.
“The current voter registration process at PennDOT is both harmful to election integrity and to members of the immigrant community seeking citizenship,” Mr. Schmidt said.
The data offers a boost to President Trump, who has claimed voters are tainted by noncitizens casting illegal ballots.

I think it's about time we find another way to register voters other than the Department of Motor Vehicles Nationwide this is a problem that can be solved easily.
ReplyDeleteFlithadelphia standing tall. Its ok Flithy, we still love your cheesesteaks!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd we wonder why there are so many Democrats in office.
ReplyDeleteAnd we wonder why Democrats don't want Voter ID Laws.
WHERE ARE YOU AT?????
ReplyDeleteI'm talking to the brain-dead crossing-dressing sissy liberal momma's boy loser who keeps saying "there is no voter fraud".
He is probably in a conference call with Madonna to see if SHE knows any Russians who colluded with Trump, because he hasn't been able to find any yet.
But he KNOWS they did.
EVERYWHERE they look there is voter fraud. Multiple votes, dead people, illegal criminals voting, miscounts, and hacking.
Where you at, you cheerleading goofball?
And all you have to do is look. No wonder the Dems don't want anyone looking.

ReplyDeleteI've read previously that Philly's voter list is quite a bit larger than its voting age population. Not a surprise.
