Illegal Aliens Give California NINE Extra Electoral Votes

TRUE FACT: You want to talk about foreign interference in our elections? Illegal Aliens give California NINE extra electoral votes (because they are counted towards a state’s number). This cancels out entire states!

Illegal Aliens Give California NINE Extra Electoral Votes

It’s not just California. Any State with a large number of Illegal Aliens is getting extra seats in the House and extra electoral votes, which ARE taken away from other States.

This is the one and only true reason the Left wants to give Illegals everything under the sun… VOTES!

Below are a couple of excerpts from 2 left leaning Mainstream Media sources about it. I case your Liberal friends need proof!

From CBS News: Illegal Immigration Affects Electoral Votes

The distribution of seats in the House is referred to as apportionment, which is based on states total population and includes illegal immigrants. A national census is taken every 10 years to apportion seats in the House, but as CIS reported, the Constitution offers no method for apportionment, nor a method for compiling total population for apportionment. Currently, the resident population includes illegal aliens.

Illegal immigration played a significant role in the redistribution of seats in the past. In 1990, 12 seats were redistributed, and in 2000, 16 seats were redistributed. Louisiana was one of the states adversely affected.

In 2000, four states either lost a seat or didnt gain a seat they otherwise would have, and five states had one seat fewer than it otherwise would have.

Five states actually gained seats because of illegal aliens. Nine redistributed seats went to California alone.

These non-citizens also change the landscape of the electoral map because the Electoral College is based on the size of congressional delegations.

The Federation for Immigration Reform (FAIR), which twice led unsuccessful campaigns to remove illegal immigrants from the process of apportionment, reported the 2004 election benefitted Kerry with a net gain of two Electoral College votes.

Though the results were insignificant in that particular race, the reapportionment of seats caused by illegal aliens has affected the past two presidential elections and will continue to do so in the future.

From POLITICO:

The distribution of these 435 seats is not static: they are reapportioned every ten years to reflect the population changes found in the census. That reallocation math is based on the relative “whole number of persons in each state,” as the formulation in the 14th Amendment has it. When this language was inserted into the U.S. Constitution, the concept of an “illegal immigrant,” as the term is defined today, had no meaning. Thus the census counts illegal immigrants and other noncitizens equally with citizens. Since the census is used to determine the number of House seats apportioned to each state, those states with large populations of illegal immigrants and other noncitizens gain extra seats in the House at the expense of states with fewer such “whole number of persons.”

This math gives strongly Democratic states an unfair edge in the Electoral College.

Deep State Sees Signs Of Russian Meddling In 2018 Midterms

Deep State warns that Russia will target the 2018 midterm elections. Are they already making excuses for a crushing Democrat defeat in the midterms?

Deep State Sees Signs Of Russian Meddling In 2018 Midterms

Three top Deep State officials told a Senate panel Tuesday that they have seen Russian activity and intentions to target this November’s midterm elections. The officials, CIA Director Mike Pompeo, National Intelligence Director Dan Coats, and NSA director Adm. Mike Rogers, didn’t describe the activity, other than to say it was related to information warfare.

Wasn’t it the Liberal paragon of lies and deception Obama himself who told us that the claim of election-fixing is baseless and impossible to carry out because balloting is overseen at the state level?

While the reports of meddling is troubling (if true), more troubling is the fraudulent and biased reporting of the Mainstream Media and Obama weaponizing the IRS, FBI, State Department and other agencies. Who knows how long that list is?

From ABC News:

Three of the nation’s top intelligence officials confirmed Tuesday that they have seen evidence of Russian meddling in the upcoming midterm elections — part of what they say is Moscow’s escalating cyber assault on American and European democracies.

“We have seen Russian activity and intentions to have an impact on the next election cycle,” CIA Director Mike Pompeo told the Senate intelligence committee.

National Intelligence Director Dan Coats and Adm. Mike Rogers, the head of the National Security Agency, agreed that Russia’s interference is ongoing. “This is not going to change or stop,” Rogers said.

They didn’t describe the activity, other than to say it was related to information warfare.

“This is pervasive,” Coats said. “The Russians have a strategy that goes well beyond what is happening in the United States. While they have historically tried to do these types of things, clearly in 2016 they upped their game. They took advantage, a sophisticated advantage of social media. They are doing that not only in the United States but doing it throughout Europe and perhaps elsewhere.”

U.S. intelligence concluded Moscow interfered in the 2016 presidential election, which has led to the current FBI investigation into possible Trump campaign connections. Russia denies the allegations and President Donald Trump has called the FBI probe a witch hunt.

The three testified in Congress on the same day that the intelligence community released its annual report on global threats. The report predicted Russian intelligence agencies will disseminate more false information over Liberal state-controlled media Russian state-controlled media and through fake online personas to spread anti-American views and exacerbate social and political divides in the United States.
