A large number of non-citizen Hispanics, as many as 2 million, were
illegally registered to vote in the U.S., according to a nationwide poll.
The National Hispanic Survey provides additional evidence for use by anti-
voter fraud conservatives and bolsters an analysis by professors at Old
Dominion University who say non-citizens registered and voted in
potentially large numbers.
President Trump has announced he will appoint a task force on voter fraud
headed by Vice President Mike Pence. He says he wants the investigation to
focus on inaccurate voter registration rolls, which are maintained by the
states and the District of Columbia.
"It is a fact and you will not deny it, that there are massive numbers of
non-citizens in this country who are registered to vote," White House
adviser Stephen Miller told ABC News. "That is a scandal. We should stop
the presses."
The little-noticed Hispanic survey was conducted in June 2013 by
McLaughlin and Associates to gauge the opinions of U.S. resident Latinos
on a wide range of issues.
Inside the poll is a page devoted to voter profiles. Of the randomly
selected sample of 800 Hispanics, 56 percent, or 448, said they were non-
citizens, and of those, 13 percent said they were registered to vote. The
448 would presumably be a mix of illegal immigrants and non-citizens who
are in the U.S. legally, such as visa holders or permanent residents.
A 1996 federal law, and other statues, makes it a felony for non-citizens
to register. The poll did not ask if they voted.
But James Agresti, who directs the research nonprofit "Just Facts,"
applied the 13 percent figure to 2013 U.S. Census numbers for non-citizen
Hispanic adults. In 2013, the Census reported that 11.8 million non-
citizen Hispanic adults lived here, which would amount to 1.5 million
illegally registered Latinos.
Accounting for the margin of error based on the sample size of non-
citizens, Mr. Agresti calculated that the number of illegally registered
Hispanics could range from 1.0 million to 2.1 million.
"Contrary to the claims of many media outlets and so-called fact-checkers,
this nationally representative scientific poll confirms that a sizable
number of non-citizens in the U.S. are registered to vote," Mr. Agresti
said.
Another 8.3 million non-Hispanic non-citizen adults were living in the
U.S. in 2013, according to the Census.
As the nation's immigrant population, both legal and illegal, grows, the
question of non-citizens voting illegally has caught the attention of more
grass-roots conservative groups. Aliens tend to vote Democratic and have
the ability to sway a close election.
The focus intensified in 2014 when two professors at Old Dominion
University and one at George Mason University collaborated to produce
perhaps the first data-driven analysis of non-citizen voting, relying on
the biennial Cooperative Congressional Election Study (CCES),
headquartered at Harvard University, with polling by YouGov.
Relying on the CCES responses to citizenship questions, ODU team estimated
that 6.4 percent of non-citizens voted in the 2008 election. They
presented a range as low as 38,000 and as high at 2.8 million.
The CCES authors at Harvard, Amherst and YouGov reacted with outrage. They
said the small number of respondents among a sample of 38,000 people made
the answers meaningless. They picked at their numbers, declared them
unreliable and concluded that zero noncitizens voted.
Their rebuttal prompted the liberal media to proclaim the ODU study
"debunked" even though those professors stick by their work and have filed
counter-rebuttals.
The 2013 Hispanic Survey tends to confirm the ODU work and chief defender,
professor Jesse Richman. The Hispanic Survey's 13 percent registration
rate is right in line with what the CCES data indicates in multiple
elections.
Mr. Agresti said the ODU paper found that in 2008, 2010 and 2012 between
14.5 percent and 15.6 percent of self-declared non-citizen adults were
registered to vote.
In other words, the CCES and National Hispanic Survey, done with different
sample sizes, align.
Still, the liberal media declares the ODU work "debunked."
McLaughlin and Associates conducted the Hispanic poll for John Jordan, a
winery owner and Republican activist. California vineyards rely on Latino
farm workers.
The media's dismissal of voter fraud has not chased the White House from
the issue. Mr. Miller, the senior While House adviser, made the case
Sunday on "ABC's This Week," angering host George Stephanopoulos.
"An issue of voter fraud is something we're going to be looking at very
seriously and very hard," Mr. Miller said. "But the reality is, is that we
know for a fact, you have massive numbers of non-citizens registered to
vote in this country. Nobody disputes that."
He added, "The White House has provided enormous evidence with respect to
voter fraud, with respect to people being registered in more than one
state, dead people voting, non-citizens being registered to vote And as a
country, we should be aghast about the fact that you have people who have
no right to vote in this country, registered to vote, canceling out the
franchise of lawful citizens of this country."
Instead of focusing on the registration issue, an agitated Mr.
Stephanopoulos lashed out at Mr. Trump for claiming there were 3 million
to 5 million illegals voting Nov. 8 and that voters were bused in from
Massachusetts to vote in New Hampshire.
"You have provided zero evidence that the president's claim that he would
have won the general - the popular vote if 3 million to 5 million illegal
immigrants hadn't voted, zero evidence for either one of those claims,"
the host said.
In his Super Bowl interview with Fox News' Bill O'Reilly, Mr. Trump veered
away from the 5 million prediction and instead said he wants his task
force to focus on cleaning up registration.
"It has to do with the registration," he said "And when you look at the
registration and you see dead people that have voted, when you see people
that are registered in two states, that have voted in two states, when you
see other things, when you see illegals, people that are not citizens and
they are on the registration rolls."
"Look, Bill we can be babies, but you take a look at the registration, you
have illegals, you have dead people, you have this, it's really a bad
situation, it's really bad."
When Mr. O'Reilly reminded the president he has not presented data to show
that 3 million illegals voted, Mr. Trump said, "Forget that. Forget all
that. Just take a look at the registration and we're going to do it."

STILL can't understand why liberal Democrats are so in love with Mexicans.
Mexicans are against abortion, contraception, pre-marital sex, mainly
because they're mostly Catholic... oh, and they HATE you. Am I leaving
anything else out that you just LOVE about them?
Riiiiight... they're potential Democrap voters.
