re: The media is freaking out over the three million illegally voted comments

quote:

This study says the total of illegals voting in 2008 was as high as 2.8 million.

I do not believe they make any claim of the sort.

s this what we want though? A President making unsupported self-serving claims (to say he win the popular vote) to serve as a distraction, rather than actually focusing on an issue, even the issue at hand based in facts?

---

With the major left leaning media that manipulates every story it's great to see them chase every rabbit he releases.

quote:

---

I get it during the campaign, but I thought we were going to get a president who focused on substantive things, not purposeful distractions and conjecture.

---

I believe he is focused and working on substantive things. But whether he is or not, do you seriously think the media would cover it that way? Of course not, they aren't even concerned with it or they wouldn't fall for this trivial shite.

And it's working exactly as Trump intended.

He says outlandish shite like this to get them chase the shiny object while he focuses on the nitty and gritty like todays executive orders.

They keep falling into this trap. It's hilarious but pathetic at the same time.

---

So because they are focused on trivial things, which is problematic, the solution is to give them trivial things rather than trying to keep it on substance?

---

You seem to be having trouble understanding how this works.

And I couldn't let this go. Please link a post during the election or since where you ever thought Trump would be these things.

If I was the POTUS, I would demand an investigation into this horrible news asap. I bet he don't.

I just don't think the solution to a problem is making up claims that focus the discussion on that claim rather than the problem itself.

---

who said that was the solution? We are just trying to get some to see this is bigger than social issues.

there would be no discussion on it if the left would let it go. they lost but they gotta try to stir the pot to deflect others attention

Study supporting the 3 million assertion:

Debunk it please.

1. The study doesn't support that 3M voted, just that a few voted in one election.

2. It's an internet survey

3. They didn't verify voter registration status or voter participation except in a small group, which causes concerns in a subgroup analysis.

4. They didn't verify immigration status

5. It's based off of less than 800 "non-citizen immigrants" About one percent of the respondents in each survey identified themselves as non-citizen immigrants (339 in 2008, 489 in 2010)

quote:

---

In 2008, thirty eight (11.3%) reported that they voted

---

quote:

---

Only five (1.5%) both claimed that they definitely voted and had a validated vote.

---

quote:

---

In 2010 thirteen non-citizens (3.5% of respondents to the post-election survey) indicated that they voted.

---

quote:

---

the number of non-citizen voters (including both uncertainty based on normally distributed sampling error, and the various combinations of verified and reported voting) could range from just over 38,000 at the very minimum to nearly 2.8 million at the maximum.

---

Even the maximum they extrapolate from their confidence interval (built off a subgroup analysis of 800 people with less than 50 NATIONWIDE positive responses to their criteria) doesn't reach 3M.

And not all of these would be Democratic votes - the authors estimate only 2/3 voted for a Democratic House candidate, which depresses the number needed to skew the votes even more.


They also debunk your entire argument about voter ID being the solution:

quote:

---

Our results also suggest that photo-identification requirements are unlikely to be effective at preventing electoral participation by non-citizen immigrants: In 2008, more than two thirds of non-citizen immigrants who indicated that they were asked to show photo-identification reported that they went on to cast a vote.

---

Still going on with your racist thoughts on voter ID?
