Interesting site. I’ll have to investigate further. But 98 cases over 23 years kind of supports my point. Do we really need to make it even harder to vote just to stop the rare cases of voter fraud?

2022 2 cases
2021 12 cases
2020 0 cases
2019 6 cases
2018 14 cases
2016 3 cases
2003 1 case
Total 38 cases
The point -- the 98 cases is the tip of the growler. (Growler is the name for a small iceberg.) Perhaps if other states had enforced the law as strictly as North Carolina did in certain years, you'd have had hundreds of convictions every year for voting by ineligible foreign citizens. And how many people didn't get caught? Multiples more? An order of magnitude or two more?
Still, I agree, immigrants' votes aren't the difference in winning and losing elections.
can you cite any criminal prosecutions of illegal aliens who voted, with the requisite mens rea?

Your standards are pretty low? Madison May is top tier talent. You hit the lotto with her.
AOC has a degree in Economics from a pretty good school. "Airhead" Palin, I am not sure what her degree is in. Plus, AOC is spot on with the Parliamentary procedures in Congress. She knows that as well as anyone else in Congress. Did you hear about the 12,000 people in Idaho that showed up to an AOC/Sanders
anti Trump/Musk rally? That is a good number of people for Idaho.

Yes, AOC has a degree in economics. She's famous for confusing Milton Keynes, a city in England, with two of the greatest economists of all time, Milton Friedman and John Maynard Keynes. And she also appeared to confuse Friedman and Keynes:

And AOC's a fan of Modern Monetary Theory, which is bull shit. That's what Larry Summers, Paul Krugman and Texas Contrarian believe anyway. Now, if you want to put her head to head in a match up with Sarah Palin, as to who's the smartest, I'd say you just might be a fan of turtle racing and midget wrestling. Because the Good Lord didn't endow either with a lot of brains.
