CHATHAM, NJ (The Washington Times)
– A research group in New Jersey has taken a fresh look at post
election polling data and concluded that the number of noncitizens
voting illegally in US elections is likely far greater than previous
estimates.
As many as 5.7 million noncitizens may have voted in the 2008 election, which put Barack Obama in the White House.
The research organization Just Facts, a widely cited, independent
think tank led by self-described conservatives and libertarians,
revealed its number-crunching in a report on national immigration.
Just Facts President James D. Agresti and his team looked at
data from an extensive Harvard/YouGov study that every 2 years
questions a sample size of 10s of thousands of voters. Some acknowledge they're noncitizens and are thus ineligible to vote.
Just Facts’ conclusions confront both sides in the illegal voting
debate: those who say it happens a lot and those who say the problem
nonexistent.
In one camp, there's groundbreaking studies by professors at Old
Dominion University in Virginia who attempted to compile scientifically
derived illegal voting numbers using the Harvard data, called the
Cooperative Congressional Election Study.
