[WashingtonTimes] A research group in New Jersey has taken a fresh look at postelection polling data and concluded that the number of noncitizens voting illegally in U.S. elections is likely far greater than previous estimates.
As many as 5.7 million noncitizens may have voted in the 2008 election, which put Barack Obama in the White House.
The research organization Just Facts, a widely cited, independent think tank led by self-described conservatives and libertarians, revealed its number-crunching in a report on national immigration.

A lot of non citizens are legal and they are also ineligible to vote.
Also, felons may cast illegal ballots fairly easily and ballot counters may miss it.
Also, people can pose as a voter fairly easily, especially on mail in voting.
Also people may vote twice in different states or may cast votes for deceased voters still on the voting roles.
In 2008 and 2012, illegally assisted voting (e.g., people in the ballot area instructing voters)was also common. In fact there were actually admissions (or bragging) statements about this.
The problem of measuring the scale. Each one of these illegal vote types requires different methodologies to check and even the best 'after the fact' studies will have enormous error bands (if it is an honest study), except the felon, double state and deceased votes which, if everyone in all states cooperates, can be determined to considerable accuracy.

At every level of government, there is this elephant in the room that all avoid when talking about enforcement on illegal voting, entitlement fraud, illegal aliens in the workforce etc. Its so utterly simple it seems impossible to understand. Cross reference everything against an open Social Security database and simply require that number to be used for voting, work, taxes, travel, drivers licenses, etc. Imagine how many tax returns the IRS gets against a single number when illegals use it. Do they contact ICE? Apparently not. I must be missing something here?

Jeh Johnson is testifying right now before the House Intel Committee on Russian hacking. He is making a pitch for stronger centralized control in elections. He is not saying anything about purging the rolls, requiring voter ID, getting rid of Motor Voter law, checking voters against illegal alien database, multiple registrations, etc. Infuriating.
Centralized control over voting would do nothing for us but insure centralized voter fraud. It assumes the Dems are honest and don't try to rig the system.

It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything. Joseph Stalin

"Central control" and planning, the dream of all despots and tin-pot tyrants. Good to see Jeh is up on his African and Latin American studies.

Pubs should use this to push for election cleanup in all states. Clean up the voter rolls, get rid of mail in ballots, make if a felony to intimate voters with machettes, extend voting hours, etc.
[FoxNews] The State Department has opened a formal inquiry into whether former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her aides mishandled classified information while she was the nation’s top diplomat, Fox News has learned. Despite being under investigation, Clinton and her staffers still have security clearances to access sensitive government information. In different times, I would call this amazing.
The department’s investigation aims to determine whether Clinton and her closest aides violated government protocols by using her private server to receive, hold and transmit classified and top-secret government documents. The department declined to say when its inquiry began, but it follows the conclusion of the FBI’s probe into the matter, which did not result in any actions being taken against Clinton or any of her aides.
Depending on the outcome of the current State Department inquiry, Clinton and her aides could have their access to sensitive government documents terminated.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, confirmed to Fox News the department’s formal inquiry. The thin edge of the wedge? Story continues @ link.

Who in their right mind would allow this creature and her minions to retain classified access after all that is known about her criminal ineptitude? The mind boggles.....

That's Exhibit A to give in rebuttal to anyone who wishes to claim "Big government works!".

When I retired from the Naval Reserve, my clearance was gone the next day. Why the hell does Hillary still have a clearance more than 4 years after she stopped being Secretary of State?

Cause they haven't finished the contract on a large office in Fargo ND for State personnel? SecState may not be able to fire your sorry a$$ tomorrow, but he can certainly determine the time and location of where you get to do work.

[Free Beacon] Florida Democratic Party chairman Stephen Bittel is considering resigning following backlash from racially charged comments he made toward members of the legislative black caucus.
The tension started at a Saturday fundraiser for the Florida Democratic Party, the Miami Herald reports. Bittel shortened the program by removing a segment in which state legislators would be recognized.
Bittel referred to the anger from lawmakers over the snub as "childish." Bittel also said State Sen. Oscar Braynon (D.), a black legislator who expressed lawmakers' unhappiness to the chairman, was acting "like a three year old."
After the dinner, white State Sen. Lauren Book (D.) asked Bittel about the situation.
"They're like children, these black lawmakers. They just don't get it," Bittel said. "I raised more money in this amount of time than they ever could."
Bittel made matters worse for himself by initially accusing the African-American lawmakers of "playing the race card" once they took offense, Politico reports.
"I have much to learn and I am committed to being better and learning from this mistake. I sincerely apologize," Bittel said in a written statement to Politico.
"I am working with Democratic leaders to mend fences, move forward and make our party stronger," he said.
One Democrat close to Bittel said he "is ready to quit if he's asked. He is sorry. And he wants to make amends."

"I am working with Democratic leaders to mend fences, move forward and make our party stronger," he said.
The Party will not get stronger unless there is a complete purge of leadership in the DNC, the Deep State, and the Congress. If they are unwilling to do this, there is always the Jonestown, Guyana solution.
[HOSTED.AP.ORG] Republican Karen Handel has won a nationally watched congressional election in Georgia and avoided a major upset after the most expensive House campaign in U.S. history.
Her victory over Democrat Jon Ossoff in Georgia's 6th Congressional District comes after Republican special congressional election wins in Montana, Kansas and South Carolina. Polls a few days ago had Ossoff up by five points, so he was the one who was "upset." The Dems spent many multiples of what the guy's salary would have been -- ridiculously many millions.
So thoughtful of them to donate those many millions to the local economy, where the multiplication effect of recirculation will do so much good... and the Republicans will get all the credit for the result. It's like a virtuous cycle or something.

Pubs are doing well in the special elections after Trump election. If the Pub Congress gets behind Trump and achieves significant legislation, cleans up the corruption from the last administration, and pulls the plug on all the B.S., time-wasting, Russia investigations, witch hunts and hearings, they might even do well in the 2018 midterms.
#7
If Ossoff had won it would've been "The End Of Trump™!". Now it's an excuse-fest: weather, wavering magnetic poles, Russians, Climate Change, had to get their hair done....

Ya know, you could have bought over 850,000 school lunches for poor kids with that money.
The Democrats paid local sales taxes on their purchases, the property owners they rented their headquarters from paid property taxes, and every penny they spent in the state and the district will now recirculate several times there -- that's what Americans do better than just about anyone, I've read. The kiddies will get their lunches, and they will taste all the better for not having to meet Mrs. Obama's gentrified standards.

All those millions from California and New York... gone.
No, no, redistributed, voluntarily without direct government coercion. If it wasn't the Trump era boost in the stock market, this might have made a hit in all those portfolios and trust funds.

Is it just me, or the Dem's just fail at creating their own Milo? They so like boys, yes? What the heck did they think would happen, even among their own.

I take it the donks spent most of the money on TV ads? And probably all it accomplished was to piss off the poor TV viewers who had to sit and watch. I would suggest they concentrate their efforts on coming up with a platform that appeals to taxpayers and voters but I know that won't happen.

A friend who lives there told me he was getting phone calls almost 24-7. First robo calls and then call centers from out of state. They wouldn't take Hell no and stop calling me for an answer. He said they were calling everybody. Really pissed people off. He's a fellow Auburn graduate and a contributer to VodkaPundit.

An interesting tidbit from Bevis's link. Putcher rubber gloves on - it's the NY Times. Any Democratic leader would become a target for the right, said the aide, Drew Hammill, Ms. Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff.
“Republicans blew through millions to keep a ruby red seat and in their desperate rush to stop the hemorrhaging, they’ve returned to demonizing the party’s strongest fund-raiser and consensus builder,” he said. “They don’t have Clinton or Obama so this is what they do.”
The Pubs don't count Trump as a spokesman, but they *do* lack the millstone of Pelosi or the anchor of Obama.

At least Ossoff proposed to his girl of 12 years, it's reported. So, how does that make you feel, miss, knowing that you're his second choice after he loses getting a congressional seat? Hmm?

Don't forget, Democrats have tried to create their own Rush too. And it failed miserably and provided Rush with lots of ready material for hilarity.
[FreeBeacon] House Democrats are continuing to block testimony from about a dozen witnesses who sought to appear before the intelligence oversight panel investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Congressional officials said one of the key witnesses, former informal adviser to the Trump campaign Carter Page, was scheduled to testify at a closed hearing of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
But Democrats on the committee blocked the testimony, asserting they needed more time to prepare.
"He's the guy that many Democrats have been pointing to as the supposed mastermind and you would think they were interested hearing his story," said one Capitol Hill official.
Rep. Adam Schiff (Calif.), the committee's Democratic leader, did not respond to emails seeking comment on the blocked testimony. Even Nothingburgers take prep time.

Who won control of Congress? The Pubs need to find a pair and tell the Dems what is going to happen. What is going to happen should be nothing because the entire Russian meme was made-up in an attempt to take Trump down. The Pubs are like the drunken farmer who brawled with his pig and lost his testicles.

...got to have as pair to lose them. Looks who's calling for civility in the face of being repeatedly assaults. Domestic battery and denial. For the progs politics is just an extension of war.
