The Party of Illegal Immigrants, Fake Votes, and Stolen Elections

The Party of Illegal Immigrants, Fake Votes, and Stolen Elections
Watch the Democrats try to steal elections.
Think about how Democratic dishonesty is a lot greater threat to freedom than some unproven Russian conspiracy.
As you watch the long, long, long counts in Florida, Arizona, and California, remember the long count which stole Senator Norm Coleman’s Senate seat for Al Franken in Minnesota.
Remember Democratic candidate for governor in Georgia Stacey Abrams’s assertion that her blue wave was made up of both legal and illegal residents. Remember that 22,000 of the applications her voter registration group filed in Georgia were either canceled, duplicative, or couldn’t be reconciled (probably because the voters did not exist).
The Democratic supervisor of elections for Broward County, Florida has a consistent record of breaking the law and trying to steal elections.
When you have the state’s sitting governor and Senate candidate, Governor Rick Scott, filing a lawsuit against “rampant fraud” and saying, “I will not stand idly by while unethical liberals try to steal an election.” Things have gotten very serious.
As Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has said, “what’s happening in Broward County should concern every American.”
In Arizona, you can bet many of the 400,000 mail-in ballots still outstanding will likely turn out to be non-existent or votes cast by illegal immigrants – or simply made up by the election officials in two of the state’s most liberal counties. Already, the state Republican party has alleged that left-wing election officials in one county destroyed evidence related to early voting irregularities.
The fact is, that after all their feigned worries about Russia influencing the election, Democrats will end up stealing a lot more votes than Putin ever dreamed of taking.
Watch the next few days, remember the lies, smears, and character assassination Democrats threw at Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
And worry for the very fabric of our country.

Alabama Supreme Court Rules Unborn Baby is a Person in 2017









Alabama Supreme Court Rules Unborn Baby is a Person


The Alabama Supreme Court has ruled that a wrongful death lawsuit brought by a woman who claims her doctor caused her to have a miscarriage by administering an abortion-inducing drug can proceed.
Kimberly Stinnett’s usual doctor was reportedly out the day of her appointment. Karla Kennedy, the doctor who was filling in that day, believed that Stinnett had an ectopic pregnancy since she had had one previously. Thus, Kennedy decided to administer methotrexate, a drug that, as the court noted, is “intended to cause the end of the pregnancy.”
However, when Stinnett’s usual doctor, William Huggins, examined her pregnancy via ultrasound, he found that Stinnett did not have an ectopic pregnancy after all, but instead had a normal intrauterine pregnancy. He said that Stinnett’s pregnancy was now doomed to fail, however, quite possibly from the methotrexate.
A few weeks later, as predicted, Stinnett suffered a miscarriage. She then took her case against Kennedy to court, alleging that the doctor had unnecessarily ended a viable pregnancy.
The initial court dismissed the case, but when Stinnett appealed her case to the Alabama Supreme Court, it was ruled that her case stands and must be heard in the lower court.
The court’s decision to allow Stinnett’s case to proceed has significant implications for the pro-life movement since they based their decision on the belief that Kennedy had possibly contributed to a homicide--meaning that Stinnett’s unborn baby was a person and not simply a fetus.
“The use of the viability standard established in Roe [Roe v. Wade] is incoherent as it relates to wrongful-death law because, among other reasons, life begins at the moment of conception. The fact that life begins at conception is beyond refutation,” wrote Judge Thomas Parker.
“Members of the judicial branch of Alabama should do all within their power to dutifully ensure that the laws of Alabama are applied equally to protect the most vulnerable members of our society, both born and unborn,” Parker added.

Hear the Pro-choice groups were so worried about Kavanaugh sitting on the Supreme Court and it is a judge in Alabama who is opening up the can of worms regarding Roe vs. Wade.

Shocker! Court rules unborn baby 'a person'

Affirms death penalty for murder convict after blasting Roe as 'patently illogical'


The Alabama Supreme Court has ruled that an unborn baby is a “person” under the law, and, consequently, the death of that person can be punished with execution.
Further, in a special concurrence, Justice Tom Parker called on the U.S. Supreme Court to revisit Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that created a “right” to abortion.
“I write specially to expound upon the principles presented in the main opinion and to note the continued legal anomaly and logical fallacy that is Roe v. Wade,” he said. “I urge the United States Supreme Court to overrule this increasingly isolated exception to the rights of unborn children.”
Parker affirmed the Alabama court’s rationale that “unborn children are persons entitled to the full and equal protection of the law.”
He asserted Roe v. Wade is “without historical or constitutional support, carved out an exception to the rights of unborn children and prohibited states from recognizing an unborn child’s inalienable right to life when that right conflicts with a woman’s ‘right’ to abortion.”
“This judicially created exception of Roe is an aberration to the natural law … and common law of the states,” Parker said.
He noted the Alabama court’s opinion stated the “obvious truth that unborn children are people and thus entitled to the full protection of the law” in its decision to reject Jessie Phillips’ arguments “that the unborn child he murdered, Baby Doe, was not a ‘person’ under Alabama law.”
In the case, Phillips was charged with the murders of his wife and unborn child, and sentenced to be executed. The state Supreme Court affirmed the sentence, rejecting claims that Phillips could not be sentenced for the unborn child’s death because the child was not a “person.”
The fault in the Roe decision was cited by Justice Harry Blackmun, who wrote the majority opinion.
He said the justices didn’t have the scientific evidence to determine if an unborn baby is a person, but “personhood” is the foundation of the case.
Blackmun wrote: “(If the) suggestion of personhood [of the preborn] is established, the [abortion rights] case, of course, collapses, for the fetus’ right to life is then guaranteed specifically by the [14th] Amendment.”
The Alabama ruling is not the only one to point out to the U.S. Supreme Court that Roe was wrongly decided.
In August, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down an Alabama law banning the gruesome, second-trimester abortion procedure in which limbs are removed from a baby’s body in the womb.
At the time, Chief Judge Ed Carnes lamented in his opinion that he was bound by U.S. Supreme Court precedent to rule against the state, writing that “dismemberment” is the best description of the procedure, which clinically is known as dilation and extraction.
“In our judicial system, there is only one Supreme Court, and we are not it,” he wrote, calling the high court’s history of abortion rulings an “aberration” of constitutional law.
And Judge Joel Dubina wrote separately to express his agreement with Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia in Gonzales v. Carhart in which Thomas wrote, “I write separately to reiterate my view that the Court’s abortion jurisprudence,” including in Planned Parenthood v. Casey and Roe v. Wade, “has no basis in the Constitution.”
“The problem I have, as noted in the Chief Judge’s opinion, is that I am not on the Supreme Court, and as a federal appellate judge, I am bound by my oath to follow all of the Supreme Court’s precedents, whether I agree with them or not,” Dubina wrote.
The opinion had no use for the politically correct language of “choice” and “women’s rights.”
“This case involves a method of abortion that is clinically referred to as Dilation and Evacuation (D & E). Or dismemberment abortion, as the state less clinically calls it. That name is more accurate because the method involves tearing apart and extracting piece-by-piece from the uterus what was until then a living unborn child,” he wrote.
And a year ago, eight members of the Alabama Supreme Court revived a wrongful death claim against a physician even though the life that was lost was that of a “pre-viable” unborn child.
That ruling set the state in direct conflict with the Roe v. Wade decision.
The Alabama judges at the time criticized the Roe decision’s “incoherent standard” of viability.
The newest opinion notes that Alabama law states an unborn child is a person under the state’s intentional murder statute.
According to Liberty Counsel, “Justice Parker wrote separately to emphasize how broadly and consistently the law and judicial decisions in Alabama and around the country protect the rights of unborn children. This, Justice Parker said, contrasts with ‘the continued legal anomaly and logical fallacy that is Roe v. Wade.'”
In his opinion, Parker called on the Supreme Court to act: “It is my hope and prayer that the United States Supreme Court will take note of the crescendoing chorus of the laws of the states in which unborn children are given full legal protection and allow the states to recognize and defend the inalienable right to life possessed by every unborn child, even when that right must trump the ‘right’ of a woman to obtain an abortion.”
He said that by ensuring broad legal protections for unborn children, including under Alabama’s capital murder statutes, “we affirm once again that unborn children are persons with value and dignity equal to that of all persons.”
“There is a growing chorus of voices urging the Supreme Court to overrule its abortion decisions,” said Liberty Counsel founder Mat Staver. “The Supreme Court has created a constitutional aberration and caused incalculable harm by its abortion decisions. In 1992, Justice Kennedy voted with the majority to overrule Roe v. Wade, and then flipped his vote 30 days before the opinion was released to uphold Roe. It is time to correct course and overrule this horrible chapter in American and Supreme Court history.”
He continued: “We applaud Justice Tom Parker in calling on the Supreme Court to overturn the Roe v. Wade decision and once again protect precious children, women, and families. Abortion is simply a euphemism created by activists to soften what it really is: the murder of innocent unborn children.
“We must stop this human genocide. We must demand that the Supreme Court undo the horrendous ruling and make the womb a safe place again in America. As we hear about the horrible descriptions of the dismemberment of Jamal Ahmad Khashoggi, every breathing person naturally shutters. Yet, every day in America, helpless, preborn children are dismembered while they are still alive. We too must shutter at this horrible act and stop it.”
Parker is currently an associate justice of the Alabama Supreme Court and is running for the position of chief justice. Parker won the primary election on June 5, 2018.
In his new concurrence, Parker said a “person is a person, regardless of age, physical development, or location.”
“Baby Doe had just as much a right to life as did [mother] Eric Phillips. … Phillips was sentenced to death for the murder of two persons; Erica and Baby Doe were equally persons.”
He added: “In spite of voluminous state laws recognizing that the lives of unborn children are increasingly entitled to full legal protection, the isolated Roe exception stubbornly endures. … Some liberal justices on the United States Supreme Court adamantly defend the isolated Roe exception. I have written extensively explaining why the Roe exception lacks legal foundation and is patently illogical.”
The ruling, he said, “stands as an indictment against the United States Supreme Court.”
The only way it can continue, he said, is if the U.S. Supreme Court justices “insist, against all scientific evidence and reason, that unborn children are not human.”

Elizabeth Warren has LESS “Native American” ancestry than the average white American


DNA tests prove Elizabeth Warren has LESS “Native American” ancestry than the average white American

Image: DNA tests prove Elizabeth Warren has LESS “Native American” ancestry than the average white American
(Natural News) Democrat race hoaxer Elizabeth Warren wormed her way through Harvard by falsely claiming to be Native American. In 1997, the Fordham Law Review made her the poster child of successful “women of color” even though she’s white. Warren is widely expected to make a run for the presidency in 2020, so the entire fake news media is now trying desperately to clean up her history by finding some evidence that she might have Native American ancestry.
Today, Elizabeth Warren released a so-called “DNA study” that had absolutely no independent chain of custody of her DNA sample, meaning the entire thing could have been easily faked by using someone else’s saliva or tissue sample. Even then, the DNA test revealed that she could be as little as 1/1024th Native America, or about .0976% “Indian.” This number comes from the Associated Press, which had to issue a correction because they got the math wrong in their first version of their report, which desperately tried to claim the DNA test proves Warren correct about her claims of being “Native American.”
Yet most Native American tribes require individuals to be, at minimum, 1/8th Native American in order to qualify. Some tribes require as little as 1/16th. There is no tribe in America that allows inclusion for people who are 1/1024th Native America. The entire left-wing media has deliberately neglected to mention this critical point, claiming that as long as Warren has at least one molecule of Native American blood in her body, then she’s obviously a “woman of color.” (Notably, in a similar story, a biological man who pretends to be a woman just won the women’s cycling championship. Feminists applauded the defeat of women by a man claiming to be a woman. This is the new Left, where a man is a woman, and a white woman is an Indian.)

The average white American has twice as much Native American blood as Elizabeth Warren

Furthermore, according to a 2014 story from the New York Times, the typical “white” American is .18% Native American, .19% African and 98.6% European.
This means the average white American has twice as much Native American blood as Elizabeth Warren.
In other words, Elizabeth Warren’s DNA test merely confirms she’s another white American. Yet the entire left-wing media is claiming her tests prove she’s Native American.
If Elizabeth Warren is Native American, then so is nearly every white person in America, rendering the entire “Native American” designation meaningless. But the Left doesn’t want any rules to be consistently applied. In the same way Hillary Clinton gets a special pass on criminal obstruction and destruction of evidence, Elizabeth Warren receives special treatment on her ancestry that isn’t granted to anyone else.

According to this logic, nearly EVERY woman in America is a “woman of color”

If Elizabeth Warren is a “woman of color,” as has been widely touted, then that must also mean nearly every white woman in America is a “woman of color.”
The same deranged Left, in other words, that now claims Elizabeth Warren is Native American — even though she’s white — also claims that all white people are bad and should be removed from power. Amazingly, such demands never apply to white women like Elizabeth Warren, who receives special protection from the lying left-wing media by claiming she’s a “woman of color” even though she’s whiter than most white people.
Ultimately, the Left is all about the complete obliteration of logic and reason, which is why Leftists are also out to destroy all science and replace it with left-wing hoaxes like transgenderism and climate change. If you believe a biological man can magically transform into a woman, then you might also believe that Elizabeth Warren is a Native American when, in truth, she’s a cheater and liar who falsely claimed to be Indian in order to gain a “victimhood” advantage over her classmates.
Like all Democrat politicians, in other words, Elizabeth Warren is a liar and a cheat.
Is anyone surprised?

Judicial Watch Sues ATF for Records About Obama Administration Attempt to Restrict AR-15





(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), a component of the Department of Justice, for 1,900 pages of records about a proposed reclassification that would effectively ban certain types of AR-15 ammunition as armor-piercing (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:18-cv-02218)).
Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit after the agency failed to respond to a May 14, 2018, FOIA request for the 1,900 documents about the Obama administration’s AR-15 ammo ban efforts. The documents include ATF talking points about the “Armor Piercing Ammunition Notice of Proposed Rulemaking” and other records discussing ammunition classification.


The lawsuit is the latest development in Judicial Watch’s more than three-year effort to obtain documents from the ATF. Judicial Watch discovered the document cache in separate litigation on the ammo ban issue.
In March 2015, more than 200 members of Congress wrote to former ATF Director B. Todd Jones to express their “serious concern” that the proposal to reclassify the ammunition types as armor-piercing may violate the Second Amendment by restricting ammunition that had been primarily used for “sporting purposes.” The ATF’s move “does not comport with the letter or spirit of the law and will interfere with Second Amendment rights by disrupting the market for ammunition that law abiding Americans use for sporting and other legitimate purposes,” the letter said. The ATF subsequently halted its efforts.
The precise statutory definition of armor-piercing ammunition can be found in 18 U.S.C. §921(a)(17).
“Simply put, the ATF refuses to comply with federal open records law,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. “The ATF has withheld records for over three years concerning the Obama administration’s shady attempt to institute gun control by restricting ammunition instead of guns.”

The ATF Is Still Hiding the Truth About Obama’s Anti-Gun Agenda



The ATF Is Still Hiding the Truth About Obama’s Anti-Gun Agenda 

The Obama administration excelled at pushing its radical agenda through any means necessary. Since its gun-control agenda was not going anywhere, it decided to control ammunition, which would have had the same effect.
 
Everyone with an appreciation of the Second Amendment saw right through it.


 
We just filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), a component of the Department of Justice, for 1,900 pages of records about a proposed reclassification that would effectively ban certain types of AR-15 ammunition as armor-piercing (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:18-cv-02218)).

We sued after the agency failed to respond to our May 14, 2018, FOIA request for the 1,900 documents about the Obama administration’s AR-15 ammo ban efforts. The documents include ATF talking points about the “Armor Piercing Ammunition Notice of Proposed Rulemaking” and other records discussing ammunition classification.

This lawsuit is the latest development in our more than three-year effort to obtain documents from the ATF. Judicial Watch discovered the document cache in separate litigation on the ammo ban issue.

Here’s some background: In March 2015, more than 200 members of Congress wrote to former ATF Director B. Todd Jones to express their “serious concern” that the proposal to reclassify the ammunition types as armor-piercing may violate the Second Amendment by restricting ammunition that had been primarily used for “sporting purposes.” The ATF’s move “does not comport with the letter or spirit of the law and will interfere with Second Amendment rights by disrupting the market for ammunition that law abiding Americans use for sporting and other legitimate purposes,” the letter said. The ATF subsequently halted its efforts.

(The precise statutory definition of armor-piercing ammunition can be found in 18 U.S.C. §921(a)(17).)

Simply put, the ATF refuses to comply with federal open records law. The ATF has withheld records for over three years concerning the Obama administration’s shady attempt to institute gun control by restricting ammunition instead of guns.
 
And, despite these games, your Judicial Watch will continue to seek answers in federal court.

“Leaking Like Mad”: FBI-DOJ-MSM Collusion Went Far Deeper Than Previously Known



“Leaking Like Mad”: FBI-DOJ-MSM Collusion Went Far Deeper Than Previously Known

The FBI’s coordination with the mainstream media surrounding the 2016 US election – a “media leak strategy” which was first first revealed Tuesday, goes far deeper than first reported, according to Fox Newswhich obtained “new communications between the former lovers.”
A December 15, 2016 email appears to discuss a “political” leaking operation, in which others were “leaking like mad” amid the Trump-Russia probe.
“Oh, remind me to tell you tomorrow about the times doing a story about the rnc hacks,” Page texted Strzok.
“And more than they already did? I told you Quinn told me they pulling out all the stops on some story…” Strzok replied.
A source told Fox News “Quinn” could be referring to Richard Quinn, who served as the chief of the Media and Investigative Publicity Section in the Office of Public Affairs. Quinn could not be reached for comment.
Strzok again replied: “Think our sisters have begun leaking like mad. Scorned and worried, and political, they’re kicking into overdrive.
In one passage, Strzok apparently misreads a reference to “rnc” as “mc,” and then, realizing his error, blames “old man eyes.”
It is unclear at this point to whom Strzok was referring when he used the term “sisters.” –Fox News
“Sisters” may refer to sister agency.
“Sisters is an odd phrase to use,” retired FBI special agent and former FBI national spokesman John Iannarelli told Fox News Wednesday. “It could be any intelligence agency or any other federal law enforcement agency. The FBI works with all of them because, post 9/11, it’s all about cooperation and sharing.
The US intelligence community is comprised of 17 agencies, including the CIA, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the FBI and the National Security Agency.
Fox News notes that the “leaking like mad” reference was texted the same day that several US news outlets reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin was personally involved – and personally approved, Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
Several days before that, an article titled “Russian Hackers Acted to Aid Trump in Election, U.S. Says,” was published in the New York Times, which cited “senior administration officials.”
Then, on January 10, 2017, The Times published another article which suggested that Russian hackers had “gained limited access” to the Republican National Committee (RNC) – the same day that BuzzFeed News published the “Steele Dossier” accusing President Trump of a variety of salacious and unproven ties to Russia.
Following the text about “sisters leaking,” Strzok wrote to Page:
And we need to talk more about putting C reporting in our submission. They’re going to declassify all of it…
Page replied: “I know. But they’re going to declassify their stuff, how do we withhold…
We will get extraordinary questions. What we did what we’re doing. Just want to ensure everyone is good with it and has thought thru all implications,” Strzok wrote. “CD should bring it up with the DD.”
A source told Fox News that “C” is likely in reference to classified information, whereas “CD” is Cyber Division, and DD could refer to former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.
McCabe was fired by Attorney General Jeff Sessions in March for making an unauthorized disclosure to the news media, and “lacked candor” under oath on multiple occassions.
It is unclear what “submission” Strzok and Page were referring to. –Fox News
A source also told Fox News that the messages were part of the newly released batch of Strzok-Page communications obtained by DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who uncovered them as part of his investigation into the FBI’s conduct in the Russia investigation.

Illegal immigrants who exploited Motor Voter to register in North Carolina still on rolls



Illegal immigrants who exploited Motor Voter to register in North Carolina still on rolls

Of 19 charged with illegally voting, at least 18 registered at DMVs

Elvis David Fullerton has voted in 16 elections in North Carolina dating back nearly two decades.
The only problem, authorities say, is he’s not a citizen and never should have been on the voter rolls, much less allowed to step into a polling booth to cast a ballot.
Mr. Fullerton, who is still a citizen of Grenada, is one of 19 North Carolinians the federal government indicted last month on charges of illegal voting. Yet even now, his name remains on the state’s rolls in Wake County, and local officials say there’s not much they can do about it.

“At this time I’ve not been made aware of any formal source to remove anybody,” said Gary Sims, elections board director in Wake, where five of the 19, including Mr. Fullerton, were registered. Three of them are still on his rolls.
Mr. Sims said an indictment or sworn affidavit isn’t even enough for him to begin an investigation, saying he needs a notification from an “official or formal source.”
Yet the indictments, which got only cursory attention nationally, do offer unprecedented insight into the contours of illegal voting in the U.S.
The first clear conclusion is that most non-citizens who sign up to vote appear to do so at motor vehicle bureaus. Of the 18 accused voters for which The Washington Times was able to find state records, all of them registered at North Carolina DMVs.
And of those 18, 13 were registered as Democrats, four as Republicans and one unaffiliated with a party. While a small sample, that does suggest Democrats may be benefitting more from illegal non-citizen voting than Republicans.
Mr. Sims, the elections official in Wake County, said he can’t begin a review of people the federal government says are voting illegally until a more “verifiable” source comes forward.
He said his main role in registration is to make sure people fill out their information correctly, and he said he relies on checks to clear his rolls of people who moved out of the area, or who have passed away. But Mr. Sims acknowledged none of those checks would catch non-citizens.
“That really is managed by the North Carolina state Board of Elections,” he said.
Perhaps it’s time local officials take a more proactive approach, said Logan Churchwell at the Public Interest Legal Foundation, which has done pioneering work in tracking down non-citizens on voting rolls, and which uncovered many of the names still registered in North Carolina last month.
“These are registrants facing federal indictments for election crimes. In the face of new law enforcement efforts, the standard operating procedure may not always apply,” Mr. Churchwell said.
He also said the fact that all of the registrants were listed as having signed up at motor vehicle bureaus pointed clearly at a flaw in the system: the Clinton-era National Voter Registration Act, more commonly known as the Motor Voter law, because it requires states to push voter registration on people who show up to conduct business at DMVs.
Non-citizens can easily sign up, either by accident or on purpose, and as Mr. Sims pointed out, there are no easy ways to skim them out of the pool.
“Incidents like this demonstrate why we need to put Motor Voter back on the table for reform — all of it,” Mr. Churchwell said. “Maintenance stagnation breeds voter roll bloat and can only harm confidence in the system as a result.”
The PILF released a report last week tracking 13 cities and counties with sanctuary policies, and counted more than 3,000 non-citizens who’ve been stripped from their voting rolls in recent years.
Those are usually people who either self-reported or were flagged as illegal voters, and it doesn’t capture the potentially hundreds of thousands of others who have not outed their unauthorized voting behavior, analysts said.
Federal officials declined to say how the 19 people in North Carolina came to their attention.
The court-appointed lawyer for Mr. Fullerton didn’t respond to a message seeking comment.
Others among the 19 include Alessandro Cannizzaro, an Italian, was granted legal permanent residence in the U.S. in 1985, and applied for citizenship in 2003 — but was denied four years later. Still, in 2008 he swore he was a citizen when he registered to vote in Wake County, and did in fact cast ballots in 2008, 2012 and 2016, according to state records.
His name has been dropped from the voter rolls.
Yet another of the 19, Ramon Esteban Paez-Jerez, of the Dominican Republic, was ordered deported in 1988 but never showed up for his deportation. Instead he adopted a fake identity and managed to win citizenship under that name in 1999, prosecutors said.
The government didn’t divulge the fake identity in court documents, and The Times was unable to track his voting history — though prosecutors said he, too, was registered in Wake County.
Patrick Gannon, spokesman for the state elections board, said the indictments presented “somewhat of a unique situation” to officials.
“We do not have a regular voter list maintenance process to identify and remove non-U.S. citizens from the voter rolls, at least partly because there is no comprehensive citizenship database to rely upon,” he said.
He agreed with Mr. Sims that a sworn affidavit from a federal agent wasn’t enough to kick someone off the rolls — though he did say officials can approach the person and ask him or her to withdraw from the voter list voluntarily.
Mr. Gannon said the elections board is drafting a letter to the Justice Department asking that the state be notified of defendants who admit they aren’t citizens, or who are convicted of voter fraud, which he said will be enough for locals like Mr. Sims to start investigations.
And in part to combat non-citizen voting, North Carolina will have signs posted at every polling place this year alerting people that if they are voting, they are asserting that they are eligible citizens.

Politicize it


Steve Balich Editors note:
The desire of the Media/Democrat Party,is to protect illegals. I guess they need a new voting block and illegals who are not supposed to vote are that block. The idea of treating illegals better than citizens is appalling. How many times do citizens need to be arrested before they are locked up. Crimes committed by illegals should never happen because the illegal alien should not be here in the first place.So in an effort to get more votes Democrats are willing to put  public safety at  risk.

Politicize it 
By Ben Crystal
An illegal alien was responsible for the murder of 20-year-old Mollie Tibbetts. The revelation that Christhian Rivera, a Mexican national who apparently used false identification to obtain work in the Iowa town near which he committed the crime, had stalked and stabbed her to death, threw a spotlight back on the illegal immigration crisis plaguing America. While conservatives pointed to the increasingly obvious need for stricter controls, liberals hammered conservatives for politicizing a tragedy.

Flash forward five days, and a psycho opened fire on a video gaming tournament. And all of a sudden, the liberal ban on politicizing tragedy had been radically amended. Well before anyone knew the killer's name, much less the victims' circumstances, all the cool anti-liberty kids, most of whom support unfettered illegal immigration, were racing to be first to politicize the hell out Jacksonville like a bunch of fat kids trying to squeeze through the same door.


I say we should be politicizing both, because both are politically sensitive issues, and shying away from politically sensitive issues guarantees only that they'll never be healed. But it's worth noting that examining the politics of both of these — along with many other violence-related issues — isn't going to work out the way the left think it will.

In the case of Mollie Tibbetts, there can be no doubt that the liberals' active — and often legislative — efforts to protect illegal aliens from justice led directly to her murder. The refusal of Democrats to allow ICE to their jobs might as well have put the knife in Rivera's hand. As leftists were demanding — often violently — that we "abolish ICE," Rivera was killing Mollie Tibbetts. As celebrities staged their photo-ops at detention centers for illegal aliens, another illegal alien was killing Mollie Tibbetts. As Democrat politicians were patting themselves on their backs for standing firm on "sanctuary cities," a beneficiary of lax immigration enforcement was killing Mollie Tibbetts.

In the case of the Jacksonville shootings, there can be no case made to implicate the NRA, the GOP or gun owners in the crime. The NRA doesn't support people like David Katz. In fact, the NRA has repeatedly called for policies and programs which make it harder for people David Katz to succeed. They certainly don't endorse the idea of letting people who represent a threat to others wander free, unconcerned with an armed response in a "gun-free" zone. Besides, disarming a guy in Alaska isn't going to prevent a shooting in Florida. It will raise the odds of a shooting in Alaska. And disarming guys in Florida isn't likely to stop the homicidal rage of someone who thinks murder is an appropriate way to deal with losing a bloody video game.

We should absolutely politicize what happened in Jacksonville. We should examine the politics of blaming the wrong people for crime. We should discuss the fact that anti-gun laws deter criminals and crazy people about as effectively as "gun-free zone" signs. We should delve into the demonstrable drop in gun-related crime which has coincided with the relaxation of anti-gun laws and rise in civilian firearm ownership. We should dig deep into the statistical correlation between higher — even epidemic — levels of gun related crime in cities which boast more stringent anti-gun laws.

And we should do the same for Mollie Tibbets, Kate Steinle and the endless list of victims of illegal alien violence. When is CNN going to present a town hall on illegal aliens like the one they devoted to Parkland? Where are the fawning magazine cover stories dedicated to the victims and the survivors who have dedicated their time and lives to bringing awareness to the plague of illegal aliens? Where are the hordes of protesters demanding justice for the dozens of people murdered in gun-free utopias like Chicago? Where is The New York Times exposé on the horrors of the Islamofascist compound in New Mexico and the inextricable linkage between radical Islam and violence? Politicize that.
