Pennsylvania admits 11,000 non-citizens are registered to vote

A top Pennsylvania lawmaker called on the state Wednesday to immediately expunge the names of 11,198 non-citizens whom the state confirmed are registered to vote, despite not being eligible.

State Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, a Republican and former chairman of a House government oversight panel, said the administration of Gov. Tom Wolf, a Democrat, belatedly acknowledged the large number of non-citizens in communications over the past two months.

“I believe that we need to take action and have those people removed immediately from the rolls,” Mr. Metcalfe told The Washington Times. “They were never eligible to vote.”

Just days earlier, officials in Texas announced they had found nearly 100,000 non-citizens on the state’s voter rolls.

The numbers, while not yet evidence of massive voter fraud that President Trump said marred the popular vote in the 2016 election, are nonetheless higher than the almost-zero levels of voting mischief that the president’s critics have suggested.

It's not just Pennsylvania, Maryland is just as bad or worse, in MD illegals are allowed to vote in many civic elections Takoma Park is just one of the many towns that promote that stupid crap. Google it you'll see.

Republicans better takeoff the blinders to see the Democrats underhanded tactics to win elections.

In MD I voted and a few weeks later I got an absentee ballot. I drove to the Election Office and turned it in ( blank of course). How does that happen?
