The fucking magats need to get fucked in their maga holes

Of the 20, only nine actually ever cast a ballot.

Former President Donald Trump and his conservative allies have latched onto the issue this election season, claiming it’s a widespread problem and that Democrats are relying on noncitizens to swing the election in their favor in November.

9 people per state isn't your problem, Dipshit McQueef.

More people have voted for brainworms

[-] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

And I bet they did it by accident....oh honey check this out! We can vote now? I heard you can't vote if you're not a citizen! Well I don't understand, maybe they changed their mind or something. Well this is cause for celebration! But first, let us go kick Trump in the nutsack ok honey? Kick him? Nah! I'm bringing the scissors! Let's vote this mofo back to the Florida swamp!

Eh, what do you mean? I can't vote? But I just did! And I got my ballot in the mail! Ok well I guess, just don't send me a ballot?

My wife and I were discussing a candidate for our local mayor, and we found the decision rather difficult because both seemed quite experienced and otherwise levelheaded until we realized one of the candidates was super concerned with election integrity and thought invalid voters were a serious issue.

There’s just no evidence to indicate that this is a widespread problem and it just smells of a desire to manipulate. I strongly believe if there was significant evidence of this that it would’ve been dug up long ago for political purposes!

Meanwhile, I was forcibly unregistered to vote without notice multiple times this year. I’d say the right to vote is under attack eons before I’m concerned about the possibility of a handful of improperly registered voters out of tens of millions.

As I've been filling out my ballot this year and looking into the local candidates, I've found there to be a lot more dog whistles than usual. Lots of candidates seem to be reasonable but then will make it a point to refer to themselves as a "patriot", which I read as someone who is willing to overthrow our government in order to instill the candidate of their choice.

Sounds rough. In my state we had one guy (R) who just said a bunch of emotional nothings and useless promises and the other is a guy (d) who promised he would basically fight 'the man' while providing proof he's already been fighting 'the man' and winning a handful of times. Easy choice.

How many citizens are not going to vote as a result of whatever measures they put in place to curb illegal immigrants from voting? I bet it’s greater than 20. And more blue than not.

That’s their plan

Please, someone find the instances of conservative fraud and contrast that with 9 illegal votes (a portion of which I'm sure voted Republican)!

[-] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago

Oh I've for sure seen way more than that of straight up republican fraud votes.

Heck here's a quick one I found where a couple republicans tried it and failed.

[-] john117@lemmy.jmsquared.net 9 points 1 day ago

these people just hate minorities. it doesn't matter if the minority is ethnicity, amount of people who committed voting fraud in georgia, or...

checking notes

defunding public libraries lol

If Bonespurs calls them rapists, drug dealers and murderers I hope they all class-action sue his ass.

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 72 points 1 day ago

Of those 9 I'd like to know how many were Republicans and how many were European/Canadian. Because most illegal immigrants are people who overstayed their visa- Like Melania Trump.

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

The headline says nothing about immigration status.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago
[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

It says nothing about the people's immigration status.

[-] SupraMario@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

John Oliver did a piece on this recently, can't remember if it was this state or another red state, but it was like 40 people....total.... in 4 decades.... that's a fucking rounding error.

[-] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

11,468 more to go

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago

It's like cockroaches. If you see one, you have millions!

[no /s, because that's exactly what the MAGoos will say]

Well they're for sure not loyal citizens, they're probably registered to vote in Canada! Or even California or Mexico. Assholes.
