I'm not sure what you're asking.

Illegals do vote and vote overwhelmingly for Democrats. You just lack the integrity to admit it.

But you do have to acknowledge that if a party has a 55/45 split they don't have to cheat if they can get their voters out to vote, right? The GOP has knocked the snot out of the voter rolls in a way that targeted dems, and they still have an advantage of registered voters.

The GOP would love to come up with a reason to say it isn't fair that they have more voters, so they do everything they can to make it harder for people to get out and vote.

Actually Trump's commission he set up failed to come up with any evidence of it

while i have no doubt that some manage to vote when they are not legal... the much more damaging to voting rights and outcome are the actions so often done to keep a particular part of society away from the polls and it is always the republicans making up new laws/rules to make it much harder for the group to vote..

"overwhelmingly for Democrats"... that is why the GOP makes these laws up and moves polling locations and all the rest, to keep Democrats from voting..

You won't even talk about North Carolina, where a reverend was caught red handed in a ballot farming scheme, he should be in jail, is he?

...and you would love to cheat.

Sorry...but we'll be voting like we usually do with an exception...lot's of eyes and ears and cameras will be watching in key Dem areas (translation: places where Dems have cheated with impunity for decades) and they will get busted.

Ain't gonna be business as usual for crooked politicians.

Trump says Republicans would ‘never’ be elected again if it was easier to vote

Donald Trump admitted on Monday that making it easier to vote in America would hurt the Republican party.

The president made the comments as he dismissed a Democratic-led push for reforms such as vote-by-mail, same-day registration and early voting as states seek to safely run elections amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Democrats had proposed the measures as part of the coronavirus stimulus. They ultimately were not included in the $2.2tn final package, which included only $400m to states to help them run elections.

“The things they had in there were crazy. They had things, levels of voting that if you’d ever agreed to it, you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again,” Trump said during an appearance on Fox & Friends. “They had things in there about election days and what you do and all sorts of clawbacks. They had things that were just totally crazy and had nothing to do with workers that lost their jobs and companies that we have to save.”

Democrats often accuse Republicans of deliberately making it hard to vote in order to keep minorities, immigrants, young people and other groups from the polls. And Republicans often say they oppose voting reforms because of concerns of voter fraud – which is extremely rare – or concerns over having the federal government run elections. But Trump’s remarks reveal how at least some Republicans have long understood voting barriers to be a necessary part of their political self-preservation.


“I don’t want everybody to vote,” Paul Weyrich, an influential conservative activist, said in 1980. “As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down.”

Trump’s Monday comments showed he saw voter suppression as part of his re-election strategy, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) said in a statement Monday. “Ensuring that Americans can vote during the Covid-19 crisis is fundamental to maintaining our democracy. It is shocking that Trump is essentially admitting that when the American people vote, Republican lose,” said Xochitl Hinojosa, a DNC spokeswoman. “Trump knows that suppressing the vote is the only way he and Republicans win in November.”

Shortly after he was elected, Trump falsely claimed he would have won the popular vote had it not been for millions of illegal votes. There is no credible evidence to support the claim. In December, a Trump campaign aide was recorded saying: “Traditionally it’s always been Republicans suppressing votes in places.” The aide later told the Associated Press he was saying that Republicans have traditionally been accused of voter suppression.

The $400m that Congress allocated so far is just a small fraction of what the Brennan Center for Justice estimated election officials need to run elections in November if coronavirus still lingers. Officials need that money to pay for postage, personnel and equipment to process an influx of mail-in ballots.

The urgency of getting election officials those resources should not be lost in the political fighting, said Myrna Perez, director of the Brennan Center’s voting rights and elections program.

“What cannot be lost in all the back and forth among politicians is that election administrators at the state and local level need substantial resources now to ensure that the elections in November go off smoothly and safely,” she said.

Bottom Line: Republicans stay in power by stopping people from voting, and they're fine with that!

ON top of that it is not in the best interest for them to risk voteing the ones i no work 6 days a week to provide for there familys why would they want to risk that.
Its just a republican excuse when they lose

If he isn't he should be...but so should that broad running Broward county. I hope they're forewarned!

Cheating during elections needs to be a HIGH priority thing.

BigMike Loc: yerington nv

"Making it easier to vote" = vote by mail FRAUD scheme...the only hope of pathetic Dems!

That's the gist of your article. Forget it. This will be done loooong before November and we won't let you take advantage of your manufactured epidemic to change voting law NOW. Nope. Not buyin'. I was born at night but not last night! GHWYS!

Exactly how did the GOP 'knock the snot' out of the voter rolls?

BigMike Loc: yerington nv

Nope...I'd give them a ride, rather. That way I could watch 'em.

BigMike Loc: yerington nv

By successfully SUING LA county which is now obligated to purge 1.5 MILLION inactive registrations.

By catching the politiwhore in Broward.

Two different aspects of the cheating the Dems have done for decades in their crooked strongholds.

Their punk leaders have been well warned. No one has wanted to do what obviously has to be done for the sake of peace our fellows but time is running out...
