ObamaCare may well have been enacted on the strength of unlawful votes cast by noncitizens.
You read that right – it may only have been because of illegal votes cast by people who had no right to vote in our elections that Democrats had enough senators in December of 2009 to defeat a filibuster and enact Barack Obama’s signature law.
That’s my answer to the naysayers who dismiss the threat of noncitizen voting. Noncitizen voting can make a difference – a big, big, big difference.
The assertion relies on “Do non-citizens vote in U.S. elections?,” a 2014 academic study by Jesse T. Richman, Gulshon A. Chuttha, and David C. Earnest that studied the 2008 and 2010 elections. The authors declare, “We find that some noncitizens participate in U.S. elections, and that this participation has been large enough to change meaningful election outcomes including Electoral College votes, and Congressional elections. Noncitizen votes likely gave Senate Democrats the pivotal 60th vote needed to overcome filibusters in order to pass health care reform and other Obama administration priorities in the 111th Congress.”
That passage is found in a white paper prepared and distributed by the office of Speaker Mike Johnson, “To Restore Confidence in U.S. Elections, Congress Must Pass the ‘Safeguard American Voter Eligibility’ (SAVE) Act.”
