An election integrity watchdog group is suing the state of Maryland,
alleging that it has discovered massive and ongoing fraudulent voting by non
-U.S. citizens in one county. But because of the way that the non-citizens
are able to cast votes in elections, the fraud is likely happening in every
single county and subdivision across the state. The group believes that the
illegal voting has been happening for years.
The group, Virginia Voters Alliance, says that it compared how voters in
Frederick County filled out jury duty statements compared with their voting
records. The group’s investigation found that thousands of people in
Frederick County who stated that they are not U.S. citizens on jury duty
forms went on to cast votes in elections. Either they failed to tell the
truth when they were summoned for jury duty, or they cast illegal votes.
Both are crimes. The same group previously found that about 40,000 people
are registered to vote in both Virginia and Maryland.
It is a federal crime to cast votes if you are not legally eligible to vote.
Non-citizens, whether in the country legally or not, are prohibited from
voting in most local and all state and federal elections. Yet the VVA
investigation found that hundreds of non-citizens have been voting in
Frederick County, Maryland. One in seven Maryland residents are non-U.S.
citizens.
“The lawsuit is the equivalent of the lookout spotting the iceberg ahead of
the Titanic,” state Del. Pat McDonough told the Tatler. He added that the
group’s investigation found a voter fraud “smoking gun.”
Maryland state law makes it easier for non-citizens, both those present
legally and those in the country against the law, to vote. Maryland issues
drivers licenses to legal and illegal aliens. Driver’s licenses in turn
make it easier under the Motor Voter law to register to vote. Maryland also
offers copious taxpayer-funded social programs to non-citizens in the state.
The group filed suit in Baltimore’s U.S. District Court on Friday. They are
suing the Frederick County Board of Elections and the Maryland State Board
of Elections. |
