“The plan” being peddled by anti-American/Constitution MAGAt politicians is to fool gullible right wing morons into believing in their idiotic, bigoted
great replacement lie that Dems want to bring millions and millions of immigrants into the United States so those
non-U.S. citizens will vote to elect Dem federal officials. Specifically and especially, Dem presidential candidates.
MAGAt’s 2nd biggest lie since 2020.
Not only is it already illegal for non-U.S. citizens to vote for any person running for any federal office;
§611. Voting by aliens
(a)
It shall be unlawful for any alien to vote in any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing a candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, Member of the House of Representatives, Delegate from the District of Columbia, or Resident Commissioner, unless-
(1) the election is held partly for some other purpose;
(2) aliens are authorized to vote for such other purpose under a State constitution or statute or a local ordinance; and
(3) voting for such other purpose is conducted independently of voting for a candidate for such Federal offices, in such a manner that an alien has the opportunity to vote for such other purpose, but not an opportunity to vote for a candidate for any one or more of such Federal offices.
(b) Any person who violates this section shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
but contrary to MAGAt politician claims, illegal voting (voter fraud) by non-U.S. citizens is extremely rare, and has never affected any federal election results.
Results of an MIT study using data provided by the right wing organization, The Heritage Foundation;
"
Vote fraud in the United States is exceedingly rare, with mailed ballots and otherwise. Over the past 20 years, about 250 million votes have been cast by a mail ballot nationally. The Heritage Foundation maintains an
online database of election fraud cases in the United States and reports that there have been just over 1,200 cases of vote fraud of all forms, resulting in 1,100 criminal convictions, over the past 20 years. Of these, 204 involved the fraudulent use of absentee ballots; 143 resulted in criminal convictions.
Let’s put that data in perspective.
One hundred forty-three cases of fraud using mailed ballots over the course of 20 years comes out to
seven to eight cases per year, nationally. It also means that across the 50 states, there has been an average of three cases per state over the 20-year span. That is just one case per state every six or seven years.
We are talking about an occurrence that translates to about 0.00006 percent of total votes cast.
