If illegals vote, people who post here think that's a good thing.

Interesting. As the authors admit, there are lots of limitations in that study.

No, we most certainly don't! I'm aghast at the numbers they're claiming and have some serious reservations about the quality of their sampling to arrive at such outrageous percentages. What did they do? Drive a truck around Home Depot for a couple of weeks to poll?

I voted today.

Lots of obvious Democrat voters around.

No illegals should vote, but if you say so, you're a racist.

Out of 55,000 people polled, 13 said they were non-citizens who voted. Statistically significant? No. They could have screwed up the answer to one question or the other.

They didn't ask "Were you registered to vote (and voted) at an address where you did not live? That would probably get a lot more yeses.

13 of 55,000 questioned said they voted and weren't citizens.

You get a certain percentage who answer the question wrong in any case. Maybe they answer yes to voted when they didn't actually because they were thinking of something else.

Even if everyone answered correctly and it was a perfect sample (both absurd suppositions), the standard deviation is about 3.5.

And also there are far more common causes of illegal voting they didn't ask about which overwhelm this cause.

Only some here think its a good thing. Most understand that when an illegal votes or a person votes twice, dishonest votes cancel out the vote of an honest voter. So when the elections don't go the wsy "they" want, the ones who say voter fraud is no big deal will have one more thong to think about. If all does go well for them, though, they can just smile.

fiogf49gjkf0d
I haven't seen anyone here say that voting by non-citizens is a good thing. I have said that it's a bad thing.

But all the evidence indicates most illegal voting is not caught by voter ID laws, and that most of the people stopped from voting by voter ID laws are legally entitled to vote.

So you sre saying that when asked, some illegals would say that they did vote when they actually didn't becsuse they didn't understand the wuestion. Couldn't it then work the other way and a person say no because they didn't understand what they were being asked. Of course none would lie about voting illegally. That would be unamerican.

That's only an issue if the election is close. Few are close to the point where one or two ballots (which can be reviewed and suspicious ones invalidated through the courts) matter.

Absolutely. So the net result is an expected 13 affirmatives out of 55,000, with a standard deviation of pretty near 13.

It's not a ridiculous question. But based on the article the answer is "not likely based on the evidence we collected."

I don't advocate either. I merely insist that this whole republican religion thing about it is a golden calf. Sure it happens, but it's not major. But I suppose worrying about Mexicans is a little healthier than worrying about Ebola, so carry on then.
