8 States Built a System for Noncitizen Voting. FAIR Just Exposed the Blueprint.
Automatic registration. Illegal alien driver's licenses. Universal mail-in voting. The "dangerous trifecta" is not a theory. It is policy.
FAIR Report Exposes 8 States Using a "Dangerous Trifecta" to Open the Door to Noncitizen Voting
If you have spent the last few years being told voter integrity concerns are just paranoid muttering from people who read too much, the latest FAIR investigation would like a word.
According to a new report from the Federation for American Immigration Reform titled Manufacturing the Vote: How Anti-Borders States are Harming Election Integrity, eight jurisdictions have built the kind of system grassroots conservatives have been warning about for years. Not by accident. By policy.
FAIR identifies the worst offenders as:
California
Colorado
Hawaii
Nevada
Oregon
Vermont
Washington
Washington, D.C.
What do these places have in common? FAIR says they combined a "dangerous trifecta" of policies: automatic voter registration, driver's licenses for illegal aliens, and universal mail-in voting. Because apparently if you were trying to design a system that makes verification harder and mistakes easier, this would be the blueprint.
What FAIR Found
Nevada had more than 6,000 noncitizens on its voter rolls. Nearly 4,000 of them had voted.
Oregon admitted it had registered at least 1,700 noncitizens
Colorado mistakenly urged 30,000 noncitizens to register
Read that again. Thirty thousand. Not thirty. Not three hundred. Thirty thousand.
And this is not limited to the eight worst offenders. The report also points to similar incidents in Michigan, Texas, Indiana, and Ohio, where the issue involved hundreds of illegal votes.
So no, this is not a conspiracy theory held together by blurry screenshots and late-night message board posts. These are documented failures in systems that were supposedly built to be modern, efficient, and secure. Funny how "modern and efficient" always seems to mean "nobody checks anything."
States Didn't Clear Things Up. They Stonewalled.
When FAIR sent public records requests, states responded with exorbitant fees, blanket denials, heavy redactions, circular referrals, and missed deadlines.
Mateo Forero, FAIR's director of investigations, put it bluntly: "The stonewalling we encountered demonstrates that these states have something to hide."
FAIR Backs the SAVE America Act
Dale Wilcox, FAIR's executive director, said: "American elections must be reserved exclusively for American citizens, yet anti-borders states have deliberately engineered systems that prioritize convenience for illegal aliens over election security."
The SAVE Act has passed the House 218-213. President Trump has said he will not sign other legislation until the Senate passes it. Sen. Lisa Murkowski was the lone Republican vote against advancing it. Because of course it was.
If the Senate cannot pass a bill centered on proof of citizenship in voting after a report like this, what exactly are they waiting for?
Once you see the trifecta, you cannot unsee it.
