WASHINGTON, D.C. – For years, the very thing Democrats insist never happens keeps happening, as noncitizens continue to show up on voter rolls across the country. Here are the times Democrats' claims were proven wrong and Republicans were right about everything.

"On
Tuesday, New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill held a press conference to announce
that approximately 6,600 noncitizens showed up on the Garden State’s voter
rolls. Worse yet, about 400 of them voted in elections in 2023 and 2024.
Sherrill,
a leftist in moderate’s clothing, used the half-hearted mea culpa moment to
blame President Trump for peddling "bizarre conspiracy theories about
[election] fraud with no evidence.” The governor delivered plenty of evidence
on Tuesday. So much so that the Department of Justice now has some very tough
questions for the Democrat and New Jersey’s top election official.
A
Federalist analysis shows a much wider spread of noncitizens on state voter
lists, instances that defy the story that election integrity-deniers have been
telling throughout the Trump era.

When
pressed about his state’s voter roll mess, New Jersey Rep. Josh Gottheimer did
some verbal tap dancing on Fox News, and doubled down on why he and his fellow
leftists voted against the extremely popular SAVE America Act. The bill would
require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in U.S. elections and
photo ID to cast a ballot in them. And it would require states to clean up
their dirty voter rolls so that thousands of foreign nationals don’t have the
chance to vote and potentially change the outcome of elections.
“I’ll say
it every day if I have to. The SAVE Act is dead on arrival in the United
States Senate,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., smugly wrote
beneath a video clip of President Donald Trump scolding the
Republican-controlled Senate for failing to pass the SAVE America Act thus
far.
“We have
to pass the SAVE America Act to defend American Elections,” Trump said to a
standing ovation of Southerners during a rally in Georgia Wednesday
evening.
Democrats’
pronouncements on the subject of noncitizens populating voter rolls have not
aged well since Gov. Sherrill’s registration confession.
“Our
elections are ALREADY safe and secure. Republicans know that,” Sen. Mazie
Hirono, D-Hawaii, never shy about expressing her ignorance, said in April on
the Senate floor. “So instead of helping their constituents, they’d rather
perpetuate lies about fraud to justify making it harder to vote them out of
power.”
Following
California’s gobstopper of a primary election in June, Rep. Robert Garcia, a
Democrat who represents the Golden State’s 42nd Congressional District,
pooh-poohed allegations of election shenanigans.
“They’re
safe, they’re secure, and there’s no fraud that’s happening in California right
now,” Garcia told Democratic Party PR firm MS Now.
Nevada
leftist Sen. Jacky Rosen expressed similar sentiments as mail ballots kept
trickling in long after California’s primary election day — helping Marxist Los
Angeles Council member Nithya Raman overtake rising political star Spencer
Pratt in LA’s mayoral “top-two” race. In baseball parlance, you could say Raman
won in extra innings.
Sen. Jon
Ossoff, D-Ga., in March bashed the SAVE America Act as “a nakedly partisan,
totally unworkable, bad-faith bill cynically intended to disenfranchise
millions of eligible voters.”
Georgia
is one of three dozen states that requires voter ID to vote in elections. And
more than two-thirds of Georgia voters support requiring proof of U.S.
citizenship to vote, according to a Heritage Action poll. That includes 55
percent of Democrats.
Ossoff’s
claims are patently false, and apparently he doesn’t have room in his bleeding
liberal heart to lament the disenfranchisement of hundreds of voters in New
Jersey.
New Jersey, of course, is just the latest state proving the thing that Democrats say never happens, well, happens.
A review
by the Department of Homeland Security found more than 250,000 potential
foreign nationals on the voter rolls of just four states — California, Nevada,
New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. The analysis tracked 35,000 potential noncitizens
on New Jersey’s voter rolls, more than 190,000 in California where, Rep. Garcia
will tell you, elections are safe and secure and there is absolutely no
fraud..."
