Proudly American, Fiercely Independent

Overseas terrorist haven caught voting in U.S. elections

Some 2,461 Americans died in Afghanistan to keep terrorists from destroying America’s freedom. But Gavin Newsom’s California has let people living in one of the world’s worst terrorist havens vote in U.S. elections.

To make matters worse, RINO Republicans refuse to support the election integrity legislation that could stop this outrage.

The story burst back into the national spotlight when Newsom blasted White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt for saying that “states like California or places like New York City, non-citizens are allowed to vote in state and local elections.”

Leavitt needed to “do some reading,” said Newsom’s office, because “a citizenship requirement for voting in state elections is literally in California’s constitution.”

But soon conservatives embarrassed Newsom with a humiliating story from his own state.

A small-time crook exploited California’s weak election laws to create dozens of illegal voter registrations, mastermind a ballot-harvesting drive, and cast enough fraudulent votes to sway an election.

The man emigrated to the U.S. from Pakistan, and several of the people he registered to vote still live there.

Not only did he run illegal votes, he used them to get elected to office—as a Democrat, of course.

Shakir Khan entered a no contest plea to 71 felonies and six misdemeanors, including 14 felonies related to election fraud.

When law enforcement raided Khan’s house in February 2023 for allegedly running an illegal gambling operation, they noticed stacks of ballots for the 2020 election…and they all seemed very strange.

Khan illegally registered 23 people at his home address and another 47 using his personal phone number—a total of 70 fraudulent voter registrations.

“This case is a grab bag of every worst-case scenario that can come out of the combination of online voter registration, universal mail ballots, and ballot harvesting,” wrote Jennifer Van Laar at RedState.com.

Khan registered people who lived in other cities, states, or countries to his own address and then illegally filled out their ballots or threatened them into voting for him and Joe Biden.

Election officials found the handwriting on the mail-in ballots all matched Khan’s.

Several of the people Khan registered and voted for lived in other countries, including Khan’s brother in Pakistan.

While the State Department does not currently list Pakistan as an official state sponsor of terrorism, the “U.S. officials have identified Pakistan as a base of operations and/or target for numerous armed, nonstate militant groups,” according to the Congressional Research Service.

Pakistan is where Seal Team Six killed Osama bin Laden.

Pakistan is harboring thousands of members of the local ISIS affiliate alone, as well as thousands more in several of the 12 legally-recognized foreign terrorist organizations in Pakistan, most of which are “animated by Islamist extremist ideology.”

Yet people living in Pakistan illegally voted in the 2020 election.

Khan managed to get elected, as a Democrat, to represent District 4 of the Lodi City Council. (Another illegal immigrant, Jose Ceballos of Mexico, got himself elected mayor of Coldwater, Kansas.)

Khan finally saw justice, getting sentenced to two years in the San Joaquin County Jail. (He wasn’t exactly contrite: He tried to take back his resignation from city council, claiming he signed it under duress.)

But the system remains broken. “You’re able to register and cast a vote if you don’t live in the country,” admitted a captain in the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office in 2023.

Aside from Khan’s con, he described a huge amount of election fraud. “One person was registered to vote with a birth date of 1850. There were 232 people registered to vote with the address to our local prisons. There were 4,144 people that were 90 years old and older. There were 125 people on the voter rolls that were registered to – their address comes back to nonprofit NGO’s and different businesses,” he said.

Federal law states, “It shall be unlawful for any alien to vote in any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing a candidate for the office of President.” But Democrats have gotten around election statutes for decades.

The Horn told you 9,539 people who were registered at fictitious addresses had voted in U.S. elections, according to President Trump’s 2018 national vote fraud panel.

Former Obama Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said earlier this month that illegal aliens are not voting “in any appreciable numbers”—an admission that illegal aliens are, in fact, voting in U.S. elections.

“How could Khan have registered so many people to vote, without appropriate documentation, then cast those ballots and have them counted? The short answer is that California’s VoteCal system enables it,” said Van Laar. “First-time voters simply check a box attesting that they’re a U.S. citizen to ‘prove’ citizenship.”

People can exploit these loopholes numerous ways. “Say you’re a union boss, and you know that all of the members of your local are receiving ballots to their home…Say you run a homeless shelter…The list goes on.”

President Donald Trump has said it is time for this voter fraud to end—and he’s called on Congress to pass the SAVE America Act.

The legislation would require people to prove U.S. citizenship when registering to vote, and show a photo ID at their polling place before casting their ballot.

Still, at least one Republican has come out against the bill: Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.
“I do not support these efforts,” said Murkowski, who regularly votes with the Democrats.

The president—and the American people—will face an uphill battle. Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has promised a filibuster, calling the bill racist, sexist, and unconstitutional.

Thousands of American soldiers died in the War on Terror to protect the Constitution and the American way of life from terrorists, frauds, and vicious murderers. Schumer and the Democrats are doing everything they can to protect voter fraud from people who live in terrorist havens.

Soldiers died to save America. Republicans need to pass the Save America Act to honor their sacrifice.
