During the Georgia gubernatorial campaign, Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams said that a “blue wave” of voters would include “documented and undocumented” aliens....

Here’s how prevalent that view is inside the Washington Beltway, particularly among Abrams-Pelosi Democrats: Before the 2018 midterm elections, Congress voted on a Republican-backed resolution condemning localities that permit illegal aliens and other non-citizens to vote in local elections. Voting against the measure were 71 Democrats and a lone Republican...

Federal law does not prohibit non-citizens from voting in state and local elections, but no state has allowed it since Arkansas banned the practice in 1926. [Voting Rights: Earned or Entitled?, by Simon Thompson, Harvard Political Review, December 3, 2010]. However, recent municipal measures clearly intend to chip away at those laws. Chicago issues to illegal aliens ID cards that Illinois has ruled acceptable for voter registration....

Like 16 other states and Washington, D.C., California fortified 1993’s federally-mandated motor-voter registration law to automatically register anyone who gets or renews his driver’s license. “Undocumented” aliens can get a driver’s license in California and by 2017, more than 900,000 had done so.

And Texas’ Republican Attorney General, Ken Paxton, proved it. After a year-long investigation that included records held by the state’s public safety department, which issues driver’s licenses, he claimed that 95,000 non-citizens appeared to be on the state’s voting rolls and that 58,000 had voted in at least one election.

Nevertheless, U.S. District Judge Fred Biery, a Clinton appointee, has just ordered Texas to halt the removal of any registered voters from voter rolls, claiming that "The evidence has shown in a hearing before this Court that there is no widespread voter fraud."... 

But the effect of voter fraud goes beyond any one election. As Breitbart’s Binder noted, and VDARE.com has been reporting for years, illegal aliens are counted in congressional apportionment. Thus, blue states with high illegal-alien populations like California are set to gain seats in the House, while states with low illegal-alien populations, like West Virginia, could lose seats.
