Illegal aliens can’t vote, so they won’t impact the election, right? WRONG



While there’s plenty of talk regarding the possibility of Biden’s millions of illegal immigrants being granted mass amnesty that will allow them to vote in the upcoming election, as of right now, they can’t legally vote.

“They can [vote] in some places in local elections, but federally [they can’t]. People say, ‘Oh well, they're not allowed to vote, don't you be spreading conspiracy theories; they can't vote, therefore everything is fine,”’ mocks Sara Gonzales.

“Well, no, because then they’re included in the census that is taken later on down the road, and then what happens? All of these blue areas – these sanctuary cities – get more and more representation in Congress, so they can skew the numbers in that way,” she explains.

Ohio Rep. Warren Davidson (R), “who is co-leading legislation” to prevent illegal aliens impacting the census, shares similar sentiments.

Davidson is working to pass the Equal Representation Act, which he says “is legislation that creates a law that requires the census to count U.S. citizens and then only use the count of U.S. citizens when doing the apportionment of representation.”

“We have twenty extra members of Congress who are represented by Democrats because states like California have seven extra members of Congress, and not just anywhere randomly. They have them in sanctuary cities. That's where they draw all the illegal population into and that overstates the population in these cities,” he tells Sara.

While leftists love to use the phrase “threat to democracy” when talking about anything that stands in the way of their agenda, Sara finds it interesting that they’re now “turning a blind eye” to what is actually a real threat.

“Well, they’re not turning a blind eye to it,” says Davidson. “They’re designing these policies on purpose. … They don’t like the policy in spite of the outcome; they like the policy because of the outcome.”

He points to California as evidence.

“California is the most left state in the country, not just politically, but people wise up to what's going on there, and they leave, so they need non-citizens to come in,” he explains. “Whenever we try to say, ‘You should only count citizens,’ they act like that’s somehow abhorrent.”

The truth is: “Every foreigner does have representation in America; it's at an embassy or a consulate. That's your representative if you're not an American, and if you're an American, you should be represented by someone in Congress, and that you can't do unless you do the census the right way.”

Poll: Only 16% of Americans say US democracy is working



Most Americans are feeling pessimistic about the state of democracy in their country, according to a new poll conducted by the Associated Press.

Only 16% of Americans surveyed said that democracy is working well or extremely well in the United States, a sentiment shared by individuals of all political persuasions. Almost half of Americans, 45%, think that democracy isn't functioning properly. A little more than a third, 38%, say democracy is working only somewhat well.

According to the Associated Press, the poll's findings are "broadly consistent with how Americans graded democracy before the election," however there was a noticeable partisan swing in views about democracy since the 2020 election.

Last October, 68% of self-identified Republicans said democracy was working at least somewhat well. After the election, though, only 36% of Republicans felt that way. Conversely, in October, just 37% of Democrats believed democracy was working at least somewhat well, but after Joe Biden won the election, that number increased to 70%.

In other words, when Donald Trump was president, most Republicans believed democracy was at least partially working, while most Democrats disagreed, and after Joe Biden won, most Republicans thought democracy wasn't working, but Democrats were more optimistic.

Roughly two-thirds of Americans say Joe Biden is the legitimately elected president, but only one-third of Republicans believe the election was legitimate, according to the survey.

The Associated Press report blames former President Donald Trump's claims that the 2020 election was stolen for at least in part eroding Republicans trust in the election:

The core elements of democratic government, including free and fair elections and the peaceful transfer of power, were put to a dire test by the baseless claims of election fraud advanced by former President Donald Trump. Those assertions of fraud were a root cause of the deadly violence at the U.S. Capitol last month, which damaged the country's reputation as a model for democracy.

Trump will face an unprecedented second impeachment trial in the Senate this week for his role in sparking the violence. About half of Americans say the Senate should convict the Republican former president.

...

The poll's findings are broadly consistent with how Americans graded democracy before the election. But there are signs that Trump's attacks on the democratic process, including his repeated and discredited argument that the election was "stolen" because of voter irregularities, resonated with Republicans.

But Democrats and the mainstream media are not without blame either.

In the wake of the 2016 election and Trump's surprise win, many Democrats advanced claims that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government to defeat Hillary Clinton. The mainstream media in 2017 spread a misleading story that "Russian government cyber actors" attempted to hack the 2016 election results. A poll conducted in 2018 found that 67% of Democrats believed that "Russia tampered with vote tallies in order to get Donald Trump elected." Further, the 2018 Georgia Democratic candidate for governor, Stacey Abrams, never conceded the election to her Republican opponent Brian Kemp, the legitimately elected governor, whom Abrams accused of engaging in voter suppression tactics to win.

Both political parties have criticized the electoral system in America when it was politically convenient to do so. Perhaps that's why so many Americans have doubts about their democracy.
