Democrats’ War On Election Integrity Exposes Their Dirty Secret
During last week’s contentious hearing of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, Delaware Sen. Chris Coons asked then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, with great concern, “Will you rule out the deployment of ICE or CBP officers to polling places this November?”
The secretary’s answer was sharp and to the point. “Do you plan on illegal aliens voting in our elections?”
Once again, Democrats are saying the quiet part out loud. The people who have told us for years that illegal aliens never vote, and that voter fraud doesn’t exist, are terrified of anyone actually checking to see if that is true.
Sen. Coons’ fears are echoed by former Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, who said in a recent X post, “Senate Dems need to put into the approps bill a prohibition on ICE agents being near polling places. This is a must-have.”
And just days after achieving a trifecta in state government, Virginia Democrats introduced legislation to do exactly what Inslee said — never mind that it’s completely unconstitutional.
If you’re an American with a job and a family, you’re probably scratching your head and asking, why is it the “last chance?” What is the governor talking about? Why are Democrats keeping immigration officers away from polling places? Here is where it gets even stranger and more suspicious.
When President Obama was elected in 2008, many Democratic ruling class figures came to believe that they would inevitably win every election in the future, no matter what they did, because of changing demographics. That hypothesis has been thoroughly refuted by the unprecedented MAGA movement and even repudiated by its own authors.
Nevertheless, the idea swept the Democratic Party like a fever, and it largely explains its sprint to the far left ever since. It also explains the Biden-era policy of letting millions of illegal immigrants into the United States. The last generation of Democrats bet big on immigration, not persuasion or popular policy, winning them elections.
Democrats claim that illegal aliens don’t vote, yet when the Trump administration asks to check voter rolls, Democrats refuse. When the Trump administration asks to see who blue states give Medicaid to, they refuse. When the Trump administration tries to deport violent criminals here illegally, Democrats refuse. It is an unsettling pattern of behavior.
The urgency from Democrats spanning Washington, D.C. to Washington state is another sign that President Trump’s policies and executive enforcement of the law are working. Last year, we saw international immigration cut in half, a decline in the foreign-born population by nearly two million, and millions of prospective illegal aliens deciding simply not to come to America. It’s a reversal of the trend Democrats have come to rely on for electoral relevance.
Now President Trump and Republicans in Congress are about to drop the hammer: a new and improved version of the SAVE Act, which would require citizenship verification to register, a photo ID to vote, and restrict mail-in voting for people who can vote in person. The House passed it on Feb. 11 and half of the United States senators have endorsed it. With Vice President Vance able to break a tie, that means the bill would pass if given a chance. The Senate needs to bring the SAVE America Act up for a vote.
Democrats are screeching like it’s the Apocalypse because, for them, cracking down on voter fraud and illegal immigration really might be the apocalyptic end of their political power, or at least the end of many of their political careers. They don’t seem to care that 83 percent of the American public, including 70 percent of registered Democrats, support requiring ID for voting.
If Democrats really believed self-rule is sacred, then they would do everything possible to protect it from being tainted by fraud and secure elections beyond a reasonable doubt. However, the reality is that when Democrats say “our democracy,” they mean “our power.” And secure elections certainly do jeopardize the Democrats’ power. They know their time to protect the status quo is running out. The will of voters — and the math — are not headed in their favor.
People are moving in droves from blue states to red states. Blue states are projected to lose nearly 10 seats in Congress after the 2030 census, a 20-seat swing toward red states, which also means a 20-point swing toward Republicans in the Electoral College. Even if Democrats win back President Obama’s Blue Wall, it will not be enough to win the presidency.
Coons, Inslee, and Democrats across the country are right: This is the last chance for illegal aliens to vote. Commonsense voter ID laws and border security, which both have broad bipartisan support from a majority of Americans, are about to make our elections more secure and more trustworthy. This is a must-have for anyone who cares about fair elections and protecting our democratic process.
