Watch–Trump: Democrats ‘Cheat Like Hell’ by Encouraging Voter Fraud
2:33
President Trump says elected Democrats are continuing to “encourage foreign interference” in American elections with their opposition to national voter ID laws.
During a rally in Lake Charles, Louisiana on Friday evening, Trump said Democrats support voter fraud and oppose voter ID laws because “they cheat like hell” in national elections by getting non-citizens to vote.
“The radical Democrats’ assault on American freedom and American citizenship will now end,” Trump said. “Democrats also continue to encourage foreign interference in our elections by refusing to support a simple and beautiful thing called voter ID.”
“If you want to go out and buy groceries, you need identification … the only thing you [don’t] need identification is to vote — the most important single thing you’re doing,” Trump continued.
“You know why, because they cheat like hell, that’s why,” Trump said.
In contrast, Trump said only American citizens must be allowed to vote in elections and that this should be supported through national voter ID laws that protect the integrity of American citizens’ votes.
“We believe only American citizens should vote in American elections and that’s not what’s happening,” Trump said. “You go out to California and you see what’s happening, it’s a disgrace. The voter abuse, it’s a disgrace what’s happening in California.”
Trump went on to say:
In everything I do, I never forget that I am not president of the world, I am president of the United States of America. We reject globalism and we embrace patriotism. We believe that every American citizen, no matter their background, deserves a government that is loyal to them. The Democrat Party and the radical Left are trying to abolish the distinction between citizens and non-citizens. In many cases, people that come into our country illegally … they were treated better than our Vets … not anymore.
As Breitbart News has reported, voter fraud is widespread across states like California, Texas, and Florida, according to experts. In Texas, for example, there are roughly 95,000 noncitizens on the voter rolls.
Likewise, in California, expert Eric Eggers has detailed how the state’s enormous illegal alien population is likely being facilitated to vote through the state’s ballot harvesting policy.

Bienvenidos
a Mexico: California's ballot-harvesting, sure enough, is borrowed from Mexico
California
Wants to Secede? Let's Help Them!
California
is a part of America. But it’s no longer American. It is a foreign state. It is
a fugitive state. The U.S. Constitution and the rule of law no longer apply in
California. Call it, “The People’s Socialist Republic of California.” It’s a
state without a country. But it’s certainly no longer American in any
way.
Liberals
in California want to secede. They are trying to put it on the ballot. They
call it “Calexit.” I say, “Glory Hallelujah." Let’s help make it
happen. I propose 63 million Trump voters join the team. Let's work 24/7 to
turn their dream into a reality!
Millions
of illegal aliens live in California; drive in California with official
state-issued drivers’ licenses; and of course, use those licenses to vote in
California. Millions. That’s precisely how Hillary won
California by over 4 million votes.
California
supports illegal aliens over legal, law-abiding American citizens. They support
illegals getting free college tuition, while children of native-born Americans
pay full fare. They support illegals over police and ICE. Many liberals in
California want to abolish ICE. They want no borders and no immigration
law.
The
Attorney General of California has warned any business owner who cooperates
with ICE will face prosecution by the state of California. You
heard correctly. California will put the business owner in prison, for
cooperating with federal law, to protect the criminal breaking the law.
The Mayor
of Oakland famously played Paul Revere to warn illegal felons “ICE is coming.
ICE is coming.” The Feds report over 800 felons evaded arrest because of that
stunt. How many legal, law-abiding, native-born Americans will be robbed,
raped, or murdered in the coming weeks because of that act of sedition?
A
California judge just sided with the ACLU and barred LA County from enforcing
gang restrictions that dramatically lowered crime. California has once again
sided with hoodlums and gang-bangers over the law-abiding taxpayers.
In
Oakland, a coffee shop prohibits employees from serving police, in order to
create a “safe space” for their customers. Californians hate and distrust
police more than illegal felons and thugs who speak no English and wear gang
tattoos. Really.
All of
this is sheer madness. But California has taken it to a whole new level.
Just this
week the California Senate appointed the first-ever illegal alien to an
official statewide post. Lizbeth Mateo, a 33-year old illegal
alien-turned-attorney, will serve on the official state committee that doles
out money to illegals attending college. In California, illegals now decide how
taxpayer money is spent.
President
Trump loves to brand (see "Crooked Hillary"). Let’s brand California.
It’s not a “Sanctuary State.” It’s a “Fugitive State.” It’s a place that
chooses to let felons and fugitives run free. It’s a place where the rights of
criminals are far more important than protecting legal, law-abiding American
citizens who pay taxes. We are the second class citizens in California.
Here’s
the way to fix the problem. Liberal Californians want to secede. I'm joining
the movement. How about you?
Conservatives
should beg California to secede. We should make it easy for them. We should
help pay for it. Pass the hat. Every conservative should chip in $20. I’ll
throw $1000 to get the ball rolling.
Just
think of elections. Without California, Trump and all future Republican
presidential candidates would win, without breaking a sweat. Without
California, we’d easily win the popular vote. And we'd win the electoral vote
by a landslide.
Next
think of Congress. California has 53 House seats. Democrats lead 39-14, for a
net gain of 25 seats. Send California packing and the GOP gains a 25 House seat
lead. We would dominate the House for decades to come.
And of
course, the GOP would gain an automatic two seats in the Senate through the
subtraction of California. As it stands now, those two U.S. Senate seats are
deep blue Democrat forever. But if California secedes a 51-49 GOP lead
instantly moves to 51-47.
If 63
million Trump voters just gave an average of $20 each to the "Calexit
movement" that’s over $1.2 billion dollars. That’s enough money to help
California secede, with enough left over as a down payment on building a wall…
with California.

California admits it has no idea whether non-citizens voted in
last primary
After a hard-fought
battle to obtain records by the Sacramento Bee, we now learn that
California's electoral officials are admitting that they have no idea how
many illegals and other non-citizens voted in the last primary, based on the
state's motor-voter registration, which has been shown to have registered
thousands of non-citizen voters. The Bee reports:
California
officials still can’t say whether non-citizens voted in the June 2018 primary
because a confusing government questionnaire about eligibility was created in a
way that prevents a direct answer on citizenship.
Apparently, tens of
thousands of foreign nationals and other ineligible voters, maybe 16 year olds,
got registered to
vote at the DMV when they applied for their drivers licenses whether they
asked for it or not.
Investigators
can see that people marked themselves as ineligible to vote or declined to
answer eligibility questions, but they can’t tell why.
“We
can’t assume why they declined to answer eligibility questions or why they said
they were not eligible,” the Secretary of State’s Office wrote in an internal
memo on Oct. 8, 2018.
That
email and other documents The Sacramento Bee obtained through the Public
Records Act shed light on why the Secretary of State has been unable to say
clearly whether non-citizens voted last year. The Bee filed a
legal complaint for the records when the Secretary
of State initially withheld most of them.
The
email shows that, for months, California officials have been examining whether
non-citizens voted last year. On Thursday, Secretary of State Alex Padilla
confirmed for the first time that his office has an active internal
investigation into the matter.
“The
Secretary of State’s office does not comment on the details of ongoing
investigations,” the office said in a statement. “Determining whether
ineligible individuals who were erroneously registered to vote by the DMV cast
ballots requires a complete review. The Secretary of State’s office is doing
its due diligence by conducting a thorough investigation.”
Spokesmen
for the office declined to say how the department could otherwise determine
citizenship of those registered.
This doesn't even include
the undoubtedly significant numbers of voters who answered that they were
eligible to vote when they were not. Could that have happened when the
ballot-harvestors were out patrolling illegal immigrant neighborhoods in search
of votes? At a minimum, it most certainly was possible, especially, since
claims to voter-eligibility on drivers license forms are never checked in
California (it's the honor system), according to voter-integrity activists.
It also doesn't help that California sneakily had residents sign
to certify on their yellow mail-in ballots that they were
California residents(rather
than voting-eligible citizens) so as to prevent for illegals any potential
perjury charges in addition to vote-fraud charges.
If California has no idea
who's a citizen, and has resisted every effort out there to get that
information (it has defied cooperation with President Trump's electoral
integrity commission), well, then what we can conclude is that they don't want
to know if a non-citizen is voting and now the word is out that they don't.
Apparently, Democratic interests in 'counting all the ballots' as they say,
means counting illegal ones, too.
They don't know, they don't
want to know, and they aren't about to clean this up. Keep after
them, Sacramento Bee. In this case, the Bee is a newspaper that's doing its
actual job.

Ballot-harvesting gets just
a little harder in California, thanks to
Judicial Watch
Judicial Watch has forced
the state of California and Los Angeles county to end its practice of keeping
'inactive' voters on the voter rolls as is required by federal law. Here's
the news from the
legal watchdog:
(Washington,
DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it signed a settlement
agreement with the State of California and County of Los Angeles under
which they will begin the process of removing from their voter registration
rolls as many as 1.5 million inactive registered names that may be invalid.
These removals are required by the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).
The
NVRA is a federal law requiring the removal of inactive registrations from the
voter rolls after two general federal elections (encompassing from 2 to 4
years). Inactive voter registrations belong, for the most part, to voters who
have moved to another county or state or have passed away.
Los
Angeles County has over 10 million residents, more than the populations of 41
of the 50 United States. California is America’s largest state, with almost 40
million residents.
The state of California, run
completely by Democrats, of course, resisted this (at least until the
midterm was over). They decided that cleaning up inactive voters from the rolls
wasn't in their interest and federal laws were for other states, little states.
And as a result, nearly a quarter of California's counties had more voters
registered than actual eligible voters. And surprise, surprise, the state has
suddenly turned solid blue.
L.A.
county's approximately 1.5 million inactive voters on those rolls (112% of
age-eligible citizens alone) had been perfect fodder for
ballot-harvestors, not this last time at midterms (all of the Democratic ballots
harvested in the last midterm have made their voters active voters),
but for upcoming elections. That rich bank of potential Democratic votes
from ballot-harvesting is now gone with this Judicial Watch agreement.
Ballot-harvesting is a disturbing
phenomenon so prone to abuse it's illegal in most states. In
California, where it's not, Democratic operatives selectively pay visits
to the homes of indifferent voters who don't want to go to the polls or mail in
their ballots, engage those voters, and then "help" them fill
out their ballots in the way Democrats want. That's why conservative areas such
as Orange County were suddenly flipped blue and popular candidates such as
Young Kim, who had been winning by large margins on election night - suddenly
saw their results flipped. Democrats learned that by extending the election
count for weeks, turning in harvested ballot after harvested ballot, they could
win any election.
But the harvest had been
incomplete, and with many inactive voters, Democrats would need
that bank of more potential votes, which likely explains why California's
Democrats resisted any cleanup of voter rolls. California may have mailed
these people ballots whether they liked it or not or asked for it or not, as
they did with all of us, and well, Democratic ballot-harvestors could have
easily gotten hold of those unasked for ballots in the mailboxes of
dead, moved-away, or incapacitated voters and saw to it that they
somehow got cast.
(Judicial Watch is
investigating that one, too.)
The state's chief vote
counter, Secretary of State Alex Padilla, insists that not a single voter will
be disenfranchised, given all his 'safeguards.'
His official plan is to mail in a confirmation form to inactive voters and
strike their names if they don't respond, but somehow, I suspect the
ballot-harvestors will be paying visits to these inactive residents,
who may be indifferent and incapacitated voters, and somehow will get
them to mail those forms in, too, thereby subverting the process.
That said, Judicial Watch's
victory is a great one and frees them up to focus on other areas of abuse that
are rife in California, such as non-citizen registrations (the state still says it
has no idea how many there are), illegal immigrant votes already cast,
ballot harvestors using coercion, foreign ballot-harvestors,
gerrymandering, straight out fraud, and the whole cavalcade of Democrat tricks
that have disenfranchised conservative voters in the state.
It's a welcome glimmer of
light from a one-party state.

Bienvenidos
a Mexico: California's ballot-harvesting, sure enough, is borrowed from Mexico
In an extraordinary investigative piece on how ballot-harvesting
works by Steve Miller, published on Real Clear Investigations, we learn an
amazing amount of information about how ballot-harvesting works and why it's so
closely connected to election fraud, skewing elections in directions they
normally wouldn't go. Themust-read
piece is focused on how
Texas is dealing with the seedy issue, enforcing the law, prosecuting more
than twice as many cases of electoral
fraud as California, even hampered as Texas is by weak penalties for violators.
But a little detail stands out much deeper into the piece: Ballot-harvesting,
which is at the root of considerable fraud of all kinds, is a practice
specifically borrowed from Latin America, with a very
impressive Latino analyst, K.B. Forbes,
who has electoral experience in both countries, citing Mexico. Here's the
passage:
The practice has its roots in Latin America, said K.B. Forbes, a
political consultant and Hispanic activist who has served as an elections
observer in Sonora, Mexico. “In the Latin culture, they have colonias, which is
‘little colony,’ literally,” he said. “In these, they sometimes have the
equivalent of a precinct boss, and that’s how people move up. The
[politiqueras] deliver the vote and when the candidate moves in, the theory is
that they get a good post inside the government.”
That brings up California, where ballot-harvesting is perfectly
legal, and normal voters have to wonder how the heck that happened.
Ballot-harvesting has been a disaster for Republicans in California, with all
conservatives now shut out from any representation in once-red Orange County.
Most congressional elections there showed Republican candidates in the lead on
election night in the last midterm, but all of them flipped to Democrats as the
Democrat-led ballot-harvesting brought in votes and votes and votes from
supposed precincts, harvested by their political operatives, until the result
went the other way. (This by the way, didn't happen in districts where
Democrats held a small lead, nothing flipped in their cases and ballots did not
keep rolling in).
If ballot harvesting is a practice imported from Mexican politics,
what does that say about California politics, whose legislators would embrace
Mexican electoral practices over the U.S. standard? As I mentioned earlier,
Mexico has been called "a
perfect dicatorship" by none other
than Nobel Prize-winning literary lion Mario Vargas Llosa, owing to the
continuous power of the Mexican Partido
Revolucionario Institucional (or
P.R.I.), which up under a decade or two ago, had a hammerlock monopoly on
Mexican politics, winning every single election in what was then a one-party
state. That's a system so bad people emigrated illegally from that country to
get away from it. Now, the cultural practice is right there waiting for them in
California, albeit, virtually nowhere else.
And like the P.R.I.'s Mexican electoral practice of
ballot-harvesting, it's noteworthy that the ruling Democrats of California also
are famous for doling out the goodies to the loyal voters. They've promised
amazing things to California's illegal immigrant population, with the latest
thing free heath care. California's insurance commissioner, the respected
non-partisan Steve Poizner, was, conveniently, ballot-harvested out of office
after an election-night lead several days after midterm by utterly leftist
Democrat Ricardo Lara who openly declared his support and big plans for free
health care for illegals. He's tried it before in the legislator and now he's
going to do it this time through the executive. California's incoming governor,
of course, is all in for the goody-slinging. In Mexico, they used to pass out
bags of beans for votes. In California, the prizes are considerably higher, and
they go well beyond free health care. I've already noted the weird
similarities to how California is run, and P.R.I-style politics here.
Any wonder California is going way out of its way to welcome
illegal immigrants? "You're all welcome here," as Gov. Jerry Brown
famously said. California already hosts a quarter of the nation's illegals, and
with middle class families now moving out due to high living costs and punitive
taxation, the California P.R.I. likes new bodies coming in who have a lot of
needs, which keeps the congressional seats numerous and the federal funds
flowing.
It all makes a normal person wonder about the weird closeness of
California officials and their Mexican counterparts, too. Newsom has already
paid a visit to Mexico to discuss the caravan with the Mexican government in
Mexico City (not Tijuana, where he would have gotten a earful from the generally
conservative and more dissident-oriented Tijuana locals), and he has declared
he plans to withdraw National Guard troops from the U.S. border. With his party
now embracing the P.R.I's style of governance and having some unnaturally close
ties to Mexican officials (I've seen it myself at Los Angeles functions as a
guest of the Mexican government), it looks like a growing merger of Mexican and
California politics.
Mexico knows how bad the system is, and its citizens did rebel
against it with a Trump-like leftist president, Andres Manuel Lopez-Obrador,
who won on a vow to end corruption. One can safely take that as a sign that
Mexicans are trying to move away from that kind of politics, which of course
would include ballot harvesting. California, on the other hand, is moving
toward it, embracing what Mexico is trying to reject. That speaks pretty poorly
for the sorry state of affairs in California. It's only great for the rulers
and those they patronize, until the money runs out.
Until then, clarification about California's Mexico
borrowings need to stand as an incentive to other states about what not to do.
