Um, last I checked, HRC only won the popular vote by 200,000 votes! It’s been argued that there are 11M “unauthorized immigrants” currently living in the US (I personally believe that number is closer to 16K and that there are 8-9K of them residing in CA alone). Assuming that 2/3 of that ~11M are NOT minors or prisoners, that leaves approx 7,340,000 “unauthorized immigrants” throughout the nation, who, by hook or crook, could have (surreptitiously or out in the open, depending on locale) registered to vote this year or in a prior election cycle and didn’t move. A (Hispanic) friend brought these two enlightening (2015) articles to my attention just this morning:
Assuming arguendo that only 13% of the ~7,340,000 voted in the general election this year (as the article above suggests ADMITTED to doing so) we can surmise that at least 954,200 or nearly 1M “unauthorized immigrants” illegally residing in the US voted in the general election this year.
I personally believe that number is closer to 3-4M.
NONE of this group would have voted for Trump. And NONE of them would waste their vote on a third-party candidate. ALL of their votes would have gone to HRC, for obvious reasons. The presence of HRC on the ballot was the only catalyst for members of this group to register at all.
It is VERY possible that Trump very likely won the LEGAL popular vote. Unfortunately, CA DOES NOT WANT to clean up their voter rolls of ineligible voters, as evidenced by its passage of AB-60 (eff: 1/1/15) combined with the (very deliberate) passage of its new “Motor Voter Law” (eff: 1/1/16). Our esteemed Dem-controlled Legislature likes it just the way it is.
Oh . . . and as of last night, there were still 620,000 mail-in ballots to be counted at the SD County Registrar of Voters (likely all of them). I wonder how many of those were mailed to legitimate addresses of SD County-based friends and relatives and picked up by MX residents to/from their way to work to be later returned by mail. Bill Clinton’s speech on behalf of HRC at BVHS on May 21 of this year registered dozens in this “‘binational’ worker-bee-group” (living in MX/working in US). I observed with my own eyes their “tabling event” set up in front of the student theatre and completely conducted in Spanish. The adjacent teacher parking lot was filled with dusty vehicles bearing MX license plates, as was the HUGE football-field shaped student parking lot in front of the school and well as the spillover parking lot at the SW corner of Otay Lakes and H Streets (now a SWC construction site). I drove thru ALL the parking lots while the rally was in progress and parked on a side street and got out of my car to observe the tabling event more closely (the corrupt Clinton machine at work, doing what they do best).
I have no doubt that some of those new voter registrations were those of (non-resident) parents who had kids enrolled in that school.
CA voters weren’t “disenfranchised” in this election We had our say (as we ALWAYS do) and we furnished nearly 50% of the electoral votes attributed to HRC on 11/8. We’re not responsible if voters in other states felt differently. The CA Piggs who feel disaffected can cut the nonsense and stop whining now . . . or move :-0.
