California admits it has no idea whether non-citizens voted in last primary

AMERICAN THINKER: After a hard-fought battle to obtain records by the Sacramento Bee, we now learn that California’s electoral officials are admitting that they have no idea how many illegals and other non-citizens voted in the last primary, based on the state’s motor-voter registration, which has been shown to have registered thousands of non-citizen voters. The Bee reports:

California officials still can’t say whether non-citizens voted in the June 2018 primary because a confusing government questionnaire about eligibility was created in a way that prevents a direct answer on citizenship.

Apparently, tens of thousands of foreign nationals and other ineligible voters, maybe 16 year olds, got registered to vote at the DMV when they applied for their drivers licenses whether they asked for it or not.

Investigators can see that people marked themselves as ineligible to vote or declined to answer eligibility questions, but they can’t tell why.

“We can’t assume why they declined to answer eligibility questions or why they said they were not eligible,” the Secretary of State’s Office wrote in an internal memo on Oct. 8, 2018.

That email and other documents The Sacramento Bee obtained through the Public Records Act shed light on why the Secretary of State has been unable to say clearly whether non-citizens voted last year. The Bee filed a legal complaint for the records when the Secretary of State initially withheld most of them.

The email shows that, for months, California officials have been examining whether non-citizens voted last year. On Thursday, Secretary of State Alex Padilla confirmed for the first time that his office has an active internal investigation into the matter.

“The Secretary of State’s office does not comment on the details of ongoing investigations,” the office said in a statement. “Determining whether ineligible individuals who were erroneously registered to vote by the DMV cast ballots requires a complete review. The Secretary of State’s office is doing its due diligence by conducting a thorough investigation.”

Spokesmen for the office declined to say how the department could otherwise determine citizenship of those registered.

This doesn’t even include the undoubtedly significant numbers of voters who answered that they were eligible to vote when they were not. MORE

12 Comments on California admits it has no idea whether non-citizens voted in last primary

  1. “The Secretary of State’s office does not comment on the details of ongoing investigations,”

    Well, isn’t THAT convenient? Just keep the investigation going until November 2020, right Dems?

    (1) Isn’t it weird that in America, our flag and our culture offend so many people, but our benefits don’t?

    (2) How can the federal government ask U.S. citizens to pay back student loans when illegal aliens are receiving a free education?

    (3) Only in America are legal citizens labeled “racists” and “Nazis,” but illegal aliens are called “Dreamers.”

    (4) Liberals say, “If confiscating all guns saves just one life, it’s worth it.” Well, then, if deporting all illegals saves just one life, wouldn’t that be worth it?

    (5) I can’t quite figure out how you can proudly wave the flag of another country, but consider it punishment to be sent back there.

    (6) The Constitution: It doesn’t need to be rewritten, it needs to be reread.

    (7) William F. Buckley said: “Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other points of view, and are then shocked and offended when they discover there are other points of view.”

    (8) Joseph Sobran said: “‘Need’ now means wanting someone else’s money. ‘Greed’ means wanting to keep your own. ‘Compassion’ is when a politician arranges the transfer.”

    (9) Florida has had dozens upon dozens of hurricanes since 1850, but some people still insist the last one was due to ‘climate change’.

  3. My aching ass they don’t know. They know for a certainty that extra-legal votes were cast and were cast almost exclusively by members of their favored constituency groups. A political Party doesn’t go to the lengths Democrats have to encourage and enable extra-legal voting without a full accounting of what their efforts have yielded.

  4. I’ve never understood how the individual states can have so much control of a federal election process. California has become a Democrat/progressive playground where there is no check or balance against voter fraud and the state simply ignores the courts or public opinion. I suspect if will take a Constitutional Convention or a bloody revolution to set things right.

  5. wake me when an intelligent governor is elected.

    that’s “No comprende! Puto!” to you mr governor newscum

    We’ll be fighting in the streets
    With our children at our feet
    And the morals that they worship will be gone
    And the men who spurred us on
    Sit in judgement of all wrong
    They decide and the shotgun sings the song

    Yeaaah!
    Meet the new boss
    Same as the old boss
