Texas Finds 95,000 Non-US Citizens Registered To Vote -- 58,000 Have Actually Voted...

You said using non-U.S. citizen makes them, your term, "sound legit." :roll:

Everyone on DPS rolls is (or was...) "legit" - living in the U.S. legally, so everyone matched in their little study was a legal resident, just possibly not a citizen and possibly registered to vote and/or voted as a non-citizen.
 
Wow talk about putting out sensationalised and dishonest info

Where is this story at, i find it VERY interesting

so OP claims claims is 98K are registered and 58K voted . .

but then more info says none of this is actually confirmed yet and if its even accurate the 58K was over 20-22 years?

also since im ignorant of how texas works how are you guys registered to vote down there and didnt you just get a really dumn ****y version of "ID" law that when it first came out it was rejecting people left and right including politicians?

doesnt seem like this would be possible in PA but again idont know how exactly it happened

Huh? How does calling someone a non-citizen make them sound like a citizen? I am a non-citizen of the U.K., and quite a few other countries. Catholics used to refer to people who were not Catholic as non-Catholic. No one was confused. I believe there are even lines at airport immigration checkpoints that are labeled non-citizen. People seem to figure it out quite easily.

And non-citizens are legit. They just can't vote, because they are, well, non-citizens.

Calling a resident or somebody on a work permit a non-citizen makes them sound more like citizen...

True, especially if you eliminate the “non.” Seriously, am wondering why you have a problem with this?

When have you heard a person say they were a non-citizen ? :lol:


We say resident or permanent resident on a work permit... etc.

Oh please... you know what I meant... In normal conversation... I have heard exculpatory evidence before... in court, not in everyday conversation.

Try again...

This is the way I have heard it: “I’m not a citizen,” or “she’s a non-citizen.”

So not in everyday conversation and just for legal purposes... got it. That proves my point. Thank you.
