Report: DHS Adding Millions of ‘New Americans’ to Vote in 2016

There are millions of green card holders in the United States, and sources inside the Department of Homeland Security say a new program is urging them to become citizens in time to vote in the 2016 election. Of the 20 states with the highest green card population, 14 are holding Senate races in 2016, so millions of new voters could dramatically impact the election. J. Christian Adams said on "Fox and Friends Weekend" that this is a case of Democrats using the levers of power to preserve power. "What they're doing is doing a full-court press on getting these aliens - 9,000,000 of them - registered as citizens in time for the 2016 election," Adams said. "They're redirecting resources of DHS to this effort, this campaign." Adams noted that an internal memo from Leon Rodriguez, the director and co-chair of the DHS' "Task Force on New Americans," said, "This report outlines an immigrant integration plan that will advance our nation's global competitiveness and ensure that the people who live in this country can fully participate in their communities." "They say it nakedly in this letter that this is all about politics," Adams stated.

Making It Easy to Cheat

On a host of electoral integrity issues, the liberal position can be summarized in two words: enable cheating. You think that's too harsh? How else to explain the race-baiting rhetoric from President Obama on down against something as common-sense as voter photo ID laws, which the public supports by wide margins? Or the intense drive for Election Day registration, mail-in voting and earlier and earlier balloting, all of which make it harder to detect and prevent vote fraud? Or the opposition to any law ensuring that only citizens can vote? A case in point of the latter is the Obama administration's stiff-arming of two states that want to require proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register to vote. Kansas and Arizona, which already require proof of citizenship on state election forms, asked the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) to include a requirement for proof of citizenship on the federal form. Backed by the Obama Justice Department, the EAC declined. The two states sued, won in U.S. District Court, but saw the verdict overturned in the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Now, the case is heading for the U.S. Supreme Court. In a brief submitted this past week asking the court to take the case, the provided key evidence -- federal voter registration forms -- exposing the shocking ease with which noncitizens can register to vote without any proof of citizenship.

ACRU Supreme Court Brief Reveals Non-Citizens Registering to Vote

WASHINGTON, D.C. (April 21, 2015) --- Non-citizens, even some admitting so on their application forms, are registering to vote under current federal law, as exposed in documents submitted today by the (ACRU) to the U.S. Supreme Court. According to ACRU's brief in Kobach v. U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC), of thirteen federal voter registration forms provided to the Court by the ACRU, "Four of the individuals actually checked 'no' on the citizenship question, six checked 'no' and 'yes', and the remaining three left the checkbox blank entirely." Nevertheless, they were all registered to vote. "The left is registering non-citizens to vote every day of the week, using the federal form. Every ineligible vote cancels out the vote of an American citizen," said ACRU Chairman Susan A. Carleson. "Our election process is becoming a mockery. The states need to be allowed to require proof of citizenship to register to vote."

No. 3 Democrat: Voter ID Laws Helped Killer Cop Gun Down Victim

Did you know that voter-ID cards caused last week's police-involved shooting of an unarmed black man? This incredible revelation comes courtesy of the No. 3 Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives, James Clyburn of South Carolina. Responding to the five bullets that North Charleston police officer Michael Slager fatally fired into the back of a black man named Walter Scott, Mr. Clyburn blamed this bloody mess on none other than the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and its work for ballot integrity. The U.S. House Assistant Minority Leader, Mr. Clyburn explained to "Hardball" host Chris Matthews, thanks to "ALEX [sic] . . . a climate has been created in the country that's causing these things to occur all over." Clyburn continued: They have drawn up these legislations [sic], pieces of legislation like stand your ground, that legislation gives a license for people to be vigilantes. They are the ones that are drawing up all of these, uh, so-called voter-ID laws. They are the ones that have been drawing up these unfair redistricting plans. These people are a cancer eating at the inners [sic] of our society. So, photo-ID requirements are not just disenfranchising blacks who, supposedly, are incapable of possessing or even requesting them before they visit the polls. Now, voter ID is responsible for gunning down a black man.

North Carolina Back in the Voter ID Pack

RALEIGH - The new election laws the Republican-led General Assembly passed in 2013 in many ways put North Carolina more on par with other states across the country. Up to that point, the Tar Heel State had some of the least restrictive election laws. Now, it probably falls somewhere in the middle of the pack. Here's how the state compares today, according to information from the National Conference of State Legislatures: Voter ID: North Carolina is one of 34 states that have passed voter identification requirements, and such requirements are in force in 32 states. Pennsylvania's voter ID law was struck down and won't be appealed. North Carolina's takes effect in 2016, barring action by the courts to the contrary.

Vote Buying Is at Center of Kentucky Judge-Executive Case

FRANKFORT (AP) - On election day in Magoffin County, Jerry Adams said his second cousin drove him to the local Save-a-Lot and gave him $25 to vote for Michael "Doc" Hardin for county judge executive - a key office that controls a lot of jobs in this economically depressed area. Hardin would go on to win the election by 28 votes over Republican challenger John Montgomery. But Montgomery would challenge the results in court, and in February a circuit court judge took the unusual step of declaring the office vacant after ruling that Adams and at least three others were paid for their votes while other voters benefited from property improvements from county workers prior to the election. On Tuesday, the state Court of Appeals was to weigh whether to uphold that decision in a case that displays eastern Kentucky's century-old history of vote-buying in local elections. State and federal officials have a number of election fraud cases every year, so many that the Attorney General's office audits election results of randomly selected counties each year and state and federal officials monitor elections through the Kentucky Election Integrity Task Force.

Adams: Non-Citizens Are Registering to Vote

Local state government officials are registering non-U.S. citizens as valid voters -- even when the non-citizens say they are not Americans on their voter registration forms, a former Justice Department attorney tells The Daily Caller. J. Christian Adams, a former United States Department of Justice official in the Civil Rights Division, will show the Supreme Court in an brief later this month that non-citizens are registering to vote through the government's motor voter program. The motor voter act became law during the Clinton administration as an easier way to register voters through their local Department of Motor Vehicles offices, but Adams says the program is failing to weed out those who are not American citizens. "The bigger problem is that when they get those drivers licenses, there's a government social services agency that is compelled under motor voter to offer voter registration," Adams says. "For example, I'm representing a client -- the . We're about to file a brief to the Supreme Court that shows actual voter registrations of people who on their voter registration forms that they're not citizens, but they're still getting registered to vote."

Judge Rejects Dismissal, Grants ACRU Standing in Texas County Case

A federal judge has ruled that the has standing to sue Zavala County, Texas, over its inflated voter registrations. The ACRU filed the lawsuit in March 2014, citing the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (Motor Voter Law), which requires maintenance of accurate voter rolls. District Judge Alia Moses of the U.S. Western District of Texas, Del Rio Division, on Tuesday issued a court order denying dismissal of the case, which the defendant, Zavala County, had sought. At the same time, the judge granted ACRU organizational standing to pursue the case, in which ACRU alleges that Zavala County has more registered voters than age-eligible citizens.

NJ Democratic Official Resigns Over Vote Fraud Ruling

-- The chairwoman of the Democratic Organization in Perth Amboy has resigned after a scathing ruling by a judge that pointed toward pervasive voter fraud in the November city council elections. "This distraction could only hurt our party and as a loyal Democrat it is the best thing to do," Leslie Dominguez-Rodriguez wrote. "The reporting in the media was inaccurate as to what the judge stated in her ruling. In the interest of the party I will resign." Per the party's bylaws, Martin Arroyo will take over as party chairman, Dominguez-Rodriguez said in her letter. On Thursday, Judge Heidi Currier ordered a new election for one City Council seat after finding at least 13 ballots were illegally cast. That margin was greater than the apparent election-night victory of Fernando Gonzalez. Sergio Diaz, the runner-up, filed suit, and succeeded in getting Gonzalez's win tossed out.
