    They must be panicking because they’ve found so few instances of illegal immigrants voting that even their delusional supporters won’t buy it. If they had found a couple thousand they could probably spin it as “these are the ones we found, there’s probably tens of thousands we haven’t!”, but I bet they’ve only been able to find less than a hundred so now they’re looking for a scapegoat to blame their failure on.

      They won’t be panicking. They made up the lie that non citizens are voting, they know it’s not true.

      I can’t imagine why an illegal immigrant would want to vote. The whole thing is ludicrous.

      I’ll bet they can’t find one illegally cast vote that was counted. People talk like it’s really uncommon. No, it’s so uncommon it never happens. I read some research that was done over a ten year period and they found less that 40 cases of vote fraud, almost none of which were for national office, and none of which had ever affected an outcome.

      Vote fraud in the US it’s effectively zero.

        with all this projection, some one should check Ted Cruz’s immigration status.

        Just saying. maybe we can deport him back to Canada.
