Participantah yes, the right wing blogsite.
Harris county TX had a 2006 population of almost 4 million people. If we are to assume the article is accurate (bearing in mind that this is an anti-immigrant blogsite) 35 people were removed from voter roles in 2005 as non-citizens, even if all of them voted (there has never been an election with 100% turnout), this is a miniscule number relative to the total population and hardly constitutes illegals voting all the time. Or, again assuming the accuracy of the information, if over 15 years 3742 were removed, than that still amounts to an average of 250 or so a year, again even if all of them voted, which I am sure is not the case, this does not imo rise to llegals voting all the time when the population is almost 4 million.
Also, keep in mind that voting districts in Texas are gerrymandered to favor Republicans anyway, so Hispanic populations typically are split up to reduce their influence, thus negating the effect of illegals voting as well.
Surely, illegals voting occurs, but there is no evidence that it occurs on a meaningful scale.
I think Bsrsharma put it best “What does an illegal, who has no clue, probably doesn’t know the language of the ballot or instructions, get by wasting his/her time to engage in a completely meaningless ritual?”

ParticipantIllegals vote all the time.
really? where’s the proof?
Chicago has had a history of corrupt voting in the 60s no doubt, but I have not heard of verified evidence that there is widespread voting of illegals. And no, I don’t consider right wing blogs as evidence. You do need ID to vote (I have always been asked for one) and your anecdotal story does not prove that “Illegals vote all the time.”
I think you just hate immigrants cause your lazy or stupid and can’t compete for the low end jobs they take.
