I friend of mine completed the poll worker training (she will be great as her compass will always find true North) but this is what she wrote yesterday as she updated our friend group:

"While it IS illegal for illegals to vote in elections in VA, all someone has to do is sign an Affirmation of Eligibility form and then they can vote (even if they are lying). Basically, unless the actual election officer can PROVE the person is illegal, the person can vote based on their own attestation. If someone doesn't have an ID, they just have to sign an ID confirmation statement. Only if they refuse are they given a provisional ballot. Otherwise they fill out a regular one.

So while we have some laws to protect our voting roles, the laws that govern the practice of voting are very lax (thanks dems in VA!)."

So discouraging to read what she wrote. So I, too, had a wave of anxiousness.

I watched a video yesterday that showed a group that appeared to be largely Hispanic bussed in to a polling location in Pennsylvania and being guided past a line of waiting voters to vote.

The justification is probably that they don't speak English well enough to understand the voting process which is being characterized as a disability. I'm willing to bet that part of the instruction being given to them was to put a check next to Harris/Walz on the ballot as well as "cualquier otro candidato con una D junto a su nombre."

Age-old problem and it's just terrible because I believe many of those folks don't even realize they are pawns. The only thing that helps me is to know God is bigger that all of these things and if that other candidate "wins" then that, too, his part of His plan. It's just incredibly awful to watch the wrong-doings of the corrupt.

One should have to know English to vote.

It's the language on our money.

The the language on our road signs.

It's the language of our Constitution.

I read about this. Honestly this crap seems intentional to stoke the flames and anger amongst the public.

I agree. It is straight up provocation.

People need to take photos of this stuff and document it. It's the only way to stop this from making a difference. I have a number I can call in WI if I see anything funny.

Yeah and good luck getting it out there. I had to ask my son where that video was of us being called garbage. He could not find it on google, but went straight to X and no problem. Not that I use google because I hate them, but each one is as bad as the other these days. I use Yandex just to make 'their' heads pop off.

Thanks. I stand corrected, sort of. I think the official language of Bhutan is Dzongkha. I'm still on the fence whether their tour guide speaks the language well enough to tell them how to vote. ;)

So the election officer would have to prove a negative. Always difficult.

I wrote this in the C&C comment section on July 6th. Though it received many upvotes, no attorney opinion was provided in reply. I also posted it under an attorney from Ohio’s Substack comment section. Asked for review & clarification. No response there either. Posting again here today:

β€œCan you please take a look at this as it would seem that since the following fully became law as of 2000, Illegal Aliens can vote in Presidential elections. 15M new Illegals being allowed to enter the U.S. makes perfect sense to an Administration that uses lawfare as a cudgel against its perceived opponents. According to this U.S. Code https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/611: (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, unlessβ€” (2) aliens are authorized to vote for such other purpose under a State constitution or statute or a local ordinance; and (c) Subsection (a) does not apply to an alien ifβ€” (1) each natural parent of the alien (or, in the case of an adopted alien, each adoptive parent of the alien) is or was a citizen (whether by birth or naturalization); (2) the alien permanently resided in the United States prior to attaining the age of 16; and (3) the alien reasonably believed at the time of voting in violation of such subsection that he or she was a citizen of the United States.”

So if an illegal was trafficked into the US in 2021-2022, was just under 16, β€œadopted” by a β€œcitizen” & believes they are a citizen then bingo, they can vote.

If 15M have come in, and the 2020 election hinged on, what, 50K votes, they know how many teenagers they needed to traffic.
