Feds Arrest 28 Registered Noncitizen Voters, All From List of 20,000 Sent to California

Remember how California Dems sneered at the list the Trump administration sent of 20,000 registered noncitizen voters who received ballots? Feds just arrested more than two dozen of them while Democrats continue to deny any of the voters are noncitizens.

He posted, “28 people charged today. All 28 are on the list of 20,000+ likely noncitizen registrants we gave California last week. All 28 are still registered voters, and ballots are going out now. No, this isn’t the total number of noncitizen voters in California. Police can’t catch every speeder, but that doesn’t mean speeding isn’t widespread. 28 is what we could charge in a week. California must verify those 20,000 registrations before counting ballots. One illegal vote is too many.”

Essayli also shared the methodology that the Trump administration used to come to the 20,000 tally, given how much Democrats are lying on mainstream media outlets about “no proof.”

If the Trump administration ever does succeed in cleaning the voter rolls nationally, I think we might be surprised at how many state and local offices aren’t solidly in Democrat hands. If the Democrats could win honestly, why would they be so hysterical about crackdowns on fraud? Of even more immediate importance, if Democrat Xavier Becerra could win the gubernatorial race in California easily against Republican Steve Hilton, why would California officials be so stubborn about not counting the 20,000 illegal ballots?

Essayli confirmed Monday, “We began arresting these individuals this morning, early this morning. My understanding is at least 11 are in custody so far. The rest will be in custody in the near future.”

It turns out the conspiracy theorists were right. Our election system is incredibly corrupt and vulnerable to malicious foreign and domestic actors. And that is exactly what has been keeping Democrats in power.
