The Historic FACTS About Illegal Alien Voting EXPOSED
The Left has been quick to ridicule Donald Trump for a tweet he made Sunday, claiming he might have won the popular vote if it weren’t for illegal voters.
But rather than dismiss the claim outright, let’s look at this claim.
Over at The Conservative Treehouse, they cite a paper in the scholarly journal “Electoral Studies” that suggests as many as 2.8 million illegal immigrants may have voted in the 2008 election.
Do Non Citizens Vote in US Elections? Richman Research Study… by The Conservative Treehouse on Scribd
Here’s some of what the paper states:“How many non-citizen votes were likely cast in 2008? Taking the most conservative estimate (those who both said they voted and cast a verified vote) yields a confidence interval based on sampling error between 0.2% and 2.8% for the portion of non-citizens participating in elections.So while the press can deride Trump for his claim, it’s almost certain that there were illegal immigrants who voted in the election and I’m willing to bet you they didn’t vote for Donald Trump.
Taking the least conservative measure e at least one indicator showed that the respondent voted yields an estimate that between 7.9% and 14.7% percent of non-citizens voted in 2008.
Since the adult noncitizen population of the United States was roughly 19.4 million (CPS, 2011), the number of non-citizen voters (including both uncertainty based on normally distributed sampling error, and the various combinations of verified and reported voting) could range from just over 38,000 at the very minimum to nearly 2.8 million at the maximum”…
Was it more than 2 million? Who knows? Would it have tipped the election? Again, that’s an unknown, but for the press to dismiss Trump’s claim outright is intellectually dishonest at best.
