What’s Stopping Illegal Aliens from Voting in Minnesota? Under Tim Walz, Not Much.

It could be enough to swing the election to Kamala Harris

The tens of millions of illegal aliens flooding into our country under Kamala Harris may help make her the next President of the United States. And Tim Walz is doing everything he can to help them do it.

Minnesota has some of the worst voting laws in the nation, virtually greenlighting non-citizens—both legal and illegal—to unlawfully register to vote. Most would-be voters aren’t required to provide a photo ID or proof of citizenship to vote, as they are in neighboring Wisconsin, Iowa, or North and South Dakota.

Minnesota also lets individuals register to vote on Election Day. Combined, that means a non-citizen could register to vote under a false name and address before casting a ballot, and there’s little-to-no time to verify that registration before polls close.

Not that he needs to register on Election Day, thanks to Minnesota’s automatic voter registration law, which Walz and the Democrat legislature enacted last year. Anyone who interacts with the state DMV, health benefit exchange, or other state agencies is automatically registered to vote unless they opt out. In just 3 months, the automatic voter registration law added 15,000 people to the voter rolls in a state notorious for its inaccurate voter rolls.

While the system is only supposed to register U.S. citizens, there’s every reason to suspect it'll capture non-citizens living in Minnesota—particularly since Walz legalized driver’s licenses for the state’s 81,000 illegal aliens last October. Earlier this month, the Minnesota Republican Party demanded the state investigate how many non-citizens are receiving mail-in ballots after one honest non-citizen informed them he’d somehow received a 2024 primary ballot in the mail, unrequested.

“Does your office verify the eligibility of people who are automatically registered when a person interacts with state agencies [such as the DMV]?” conservatives asked of the secretary of state. Good question.

A National Epidemic

Democrats have claimed there is little-to-no non-citizen voting happening in the U.S., but the truth is they’re doing everything they can to encourage more.

In July, all but 5 House Democrats voted against the SAVE Act to require individuals to show proof of citizenship before registering to vote. Before that, nearly all House Democrats voted against a bill in May that would repeal Washington, D.C.’s expansive non-citizen voting law—which allows Chinese and Russian embassy staff to vote in local elections.

Far from being rare, non-citizen voting is a massive threat to the sanctity of our elections.

The nonpartisan site JustFacts has reported that as much as 13 percent of the 20-million-odd voting age non-citizens living in the country will register to vote and cast a ballot in 2024—as much as 3 million illegal votes, 80 percent of which will benefit Democrats.

Between 74 and 90 percent of voters, including Democrats and independents, support blocking that with Citizen-Only Voting Amendments nationwide, according to polls by Steve Cortes’ League of American Workers and Americans for Citizen Voting. So why won’t Democrats? Again... good question.
