This is what happens when you get a Democrat for a governor. Pennsvania, long considered a battle ground state in general elections has at least 100,000 non-citizens already registered to vote in this year’s mid-terms and 2020 presidential election.

I keep seeing these figures popping up in the news from time to time but we never seem to nail down what the real numbers are behind them. How many noncitizens, either in the country legally or illegally, are registered to vote? And no doubt far more to the point, how many of them have actually voted? Both would be bad, but the possibility of the latter is exponentially worse.
That question has come to the Keystone State in full force this year. As reported in the Washington Times, the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) has filed suit in federal court in Harrisburg seeking to have the State of Pennsylvania turn over the numbers. If you’re thinking that noncitizens can’t register to vote you’re correct in theory, but not in practice. State officials have allegedly already acknowledged that a “glitch” in the driver’s license renewal process allowed noncitizens to automatically register to vote.
That 100K figure is being attributed to Philadelphia Commissioner Al Schmidt, who originally discovered the “glitch” but who is not commenting to the press about it. The state is refusing to comment on pending litigation also, but several counties have provided PILF with requested information and they’ve turned up some doozies.
They provide details of several people in Pennsylvania, some identified by name, who are noncitizens and are definitely on record as not only having been registered for years but voted in multiple election cycles. The federal “Motor Voter” law is supposed to allow private groups to demand purges of the rolls and information on the cleaning of the records, but Pennsylvania has refused to cooperate thus far.
