Illegal aliens can’t legally vote in elections… but that apparently doesn’t stop Democratic officials from inviting them to.
In Democrat-controlled Colorado, state bureaucrats rolled out the red carpet from the foreigners’ homes to the voting booth.
Colorado’s top election official contacted more than 30,000 illegal immigrants informing them how they can register to vote in the 2022 midterm election, and newly revealed records imply that some of them may have done so.
“Colorado shouldn’t be sending foreign nationals voter registration information,” said J. Christian Adams, president of the Public Interest Legal Firm (PILF), which obtained internal records related to the scandal.
In all, Colorado’s Secretary of State office mailed postcards with voter registration information to 31,093 foreign nationals in 58 of Colorado’s 64 counties.
The system is supposed to flag Colorado residents who do not have U.S. citizenship as “Eligible But Unregistered,” so the office would not contact them…but for some reason, that didn’t happen this time.
“In the past, the Colorado Secretary of State openly described to reporters the procedures in place to prevent mail from being sent to ineligible recipients. In 2022, those procedures either were no longer in place, or, failed entirely,” says PILF.
When confronted, the Secretary of State’s office chalked the whole event up to a mistake, which internal communications called a “data analytic error”…but lots of details raised eyebrows.
For one thing, Colorado’s Secretary of State Jena Griswold, is a liberal Democrat who has already been accused of such voting irregularities as destroying 2020 election records.
Griswold is also funded by George Soros. As The Horn told you years ago, in 2006 George Soros “funded his own ‘Secretary of State Project’ to elect the top election official in each state and has harped on the importance of the office ever since.”
Strike one.
Colorado mailed the postcards thanks to an agreement it had with Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), which describes itself as “a non-profit organization whose mission is to assist states in improving the accuracy of America’s voter rolls.”
Big help, ERIC.
ERIC receives funding from the Pew Trust which, in turn, is funded by George Soros’ Open Society Foundations. Adams says Soros funding founded ERIC.
Strike two.
Then, there’s the secrecy of the whole event—and new details PILF uncovered that voter fraud may have taken place.
After the story broke last October, county election officials emailed Griswold’s office, asking how they should respond to their constituents, who were fuming mad that her office told illegal immigrants how to vote in their elections.
The Democrat told county officials not to worry, she had things in hand: She would mail a second postcard to the thousands of illegals, letting them know they could not vote after all, and she would direct her office to compare voter registration lists against different state measures that record residents’ citizenship status.
But her office held firm on one thing: They absolutely would not share the names of the 31,000 illegals they contacted, so county election officials cross-check them against local voter rolls.
“When the Secretary of State of Colorado did not disclose to county election officials the names
of the foreigners offered voter registration materials by her office, she hid the ability of the
public and law enforcement from ascertaining whether, indeed, foreigners did register to vote as
a result of being urged to do so by the Colorado Secretary of State,” PILF reports.
Why were the Democrats so guarded? The answer may be that illegal aliens did register to vote at the office’s invitation.
Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Beall refused to turn over the names of the 54 illegal immigrants his office contacted to Moffat County election officials citing “potential legal issues.”
The fact that Beall used that phrase may prove illegals committed election fraud, PILF explains. “One possibility is that some of the foreign citizens could have committed an election crime by registering to vote. It be would a federal crime for a foreign citizen to vote in the 2022 election,” says its report. (Emphasis theirs.)
Strike three.
If foreigners illegally registered to vote, it may have impacted one of the most conservative members of Congress: Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo.
Griswold’s office contacted a total of 1,781 in the counties that make up Boebert’s District 3.
That came after the state’s “nonpartisan” redistricting commission proposed a map to shoehorn Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., into a heavily Democratic district (although the state Supreme Court approved a different map of District 3). Then, Griswold mailed out more than a thousand postcards urging non-citizens to vote in her enormous, western Colorado district.
After a recount, Boebert won her hotly contested race by just 546 votes.
Hopefully, PILF will dig deeper and find out whether Lauren Boebert beat the top state election official’s attempts at voter fraud.
