Democrats keep telling us voter fraud isn’t real. Then we keep seeing stories like this:
More than 1,000 aliens, or residents who are not U.S. citizens, have been free to vote illegally in Virginia.
The bombshell disclosure was made in a report released by the Virginia Voters Alliance based on findings from the Public Interest Legal Foundation.
The 1,046 Virginia voters may just be the tip of the iceberg, as it’s only the number found in eight Virginia localities, the report reads. The report found that the most illegal votes were cast in 2012, followed by 2008, the year President Obama was elected to his first term. In both years, Obama won Virginia.
It’s a felony for non-citizens to vote in Virginia. But in Virginia, no proof of citizenship is required when voters register.
Virginia successfully reformed its system by passing a bill aimed at requiring voters to carry ID. That’s good, but it’s important to note that in the small races that set state policy, or the close races that choose congressional representatives, a handful of votes in a state as purple as Virginia can make a major difference.
Here’s hoping other states follow the example set by Virginia and implement common sense voter fraud reforms.
