A new study claims as many as 3.8 million foreign nationals listed on California’s voter rolls could have been a significant factor in the Republican Party’s loss of at least three Congressional seats in the U.S. House in November’s general election.
This estimate was derived by analyzing the number of individuals listed in the voter rolls who were born outside the United States in relation to the count of individuals who have lawfully obtained US citizenship.
Democrats crowed about picking up three extra seats from Republicans, even as the GOP surged across the nation. “A bright spot for Democrats as voters shifted right: Flipping 3 House seats in California,” blared the L.A. Times headline.
Their elation is understandable:Â Excess non-citizen voter participation on this magnitude are enough to change the outcome of almost any election, proposition, or recall — including the Presidential race.
Here’s how researchers determined the number of non-citizen, foreign-born voters made it onto the rolls in California:
Adding up these excess registrations, there are 3,797,202 of them in the current California voter rolls. According to the California Secretary of State in the 60-Day Report of Registration, there are 22,310,352 registered voters in the State. That suggests that 17% of the registered voters in California are illegally registered non-citizens.
So, how could this many illegal aliens and non-citizen voters get their names onto the voter rolls in California?
a large number of these registrations came from the online registration system, while many of the remainder came through the motor vehicle licensing system (DMV). Both of these are supposed to check citizenship and reject non-citizen applications. In both, however, the applicant has to check a box indicating they are non-citizens. If they don’t check the box, it is assumed they are citizens.
The report was compiled by a group of investigators who have been examining California’s election concerns for more than three years.
In recent years, there has been a notable increase in the number of foreign-born voters registered, surpassing the figures of newly naturalized citizens.
California will automatically register any individual who submits an application for a driver’s license (Motor Voter).
The inclusion of illegal votes may not have influenced the Presidential election results; however, watchdogs suggest that the presence of these unlawful votes may have swayed multiple Congressional races in favor of the Democrats.
As time progressed on Election Night, four out of the six congressional races in Orange County indicated that the Republican candidate was in the lead.
After a counting period spanning several weeks, three of those races were secured by Democratic candidates, achieving a combined victory margin of less than 30,000 votes.
The Republican defeats in the 45th, 47th, and 49th districts might have been averted if California had upheld proper oversight of voter rolls.
Activists are calling for blocking the certification of the California election.
At minimum, Californians should know whether or not there are 3 million plus non-citizens participating in their elections.
