Bush won the 2000 election by less then 200 votes in Florida. Bush won Ohio in the last election by a few hundred votes.
–Actually, the “official” Florida numbers in 2000 were about 537 more for Bush, and Ohio was not that close in 2004.–
743 votes may not seem like much but multiply that by 435 congressional districts.
–Again, there is no evidence that illegals voting is widespread or significant to the extent that it affected the outcome of any election ever. In your example, in staunchly republican OC, how could the voting of 743 illegals, even if they were all for dems change the outcome when typically the repub wins in a 2:1 landlslide? Fact is, it is mathematically impossible.–
Why are you so defensive about the lack of integrity in our electoral process?
–Hardly defensive, just pointing out that there is no evidence to indicate elections are effected by illegals voting. What is far more revealing is your lack of concern about the 2000 Florida vote recount not being completed- thanks to the pro-Bush US supreme court- and the numerous irregularities in Ohio during the 2004 election.–
Don’t you think it’s significant that our elections can be determined by people who are not entitled to vote?
–Actually, this statement is again quite revealing of a lockstop pro-Bush view, as you may recall, wasn’t it the conservative majority of the US supreme court that dictated the outcome of the 2000 election by preventing the Florida vote recount? Why is it that you are so concerned with “illegals” voting and the “integrity of our electoral process” but could care less that the US supreme court intervened to block a Florida recount to determine who actually won, allowing the great leader to get in the White House? Talk about a double-standard: what kind of integrity does our electoral process have when the supreme court thwarts the will of the people in electing the president?–
Are you an Illegal?? You seem to be really paranoid that I am bringing up the facts.
–I have a work ethic like an illegal that’s for sure, hard and long hours on the job and in school I busted my a.. to get where I am. Bottom line is your so-called “facts” lead you to what? Even if a few illegals vote, there is no evidence it affects elections, suggesting you are using this as an excuse to justify xenophobic views towards immigrants.–
