Generally speaking, high levels of illegal voting can occur only if the government looks the other way. That’s why voter fraud is more rampant in Democrat-run cities like Chicago and states like California than in rural Iowa.

One of the reasons Democrats hate the Electoral College is that it limits voter fraud.

Allowing voter fraud, of course, happens only if the people in power believe that the illegal votes will help them.

That’s why in the Florida recount of 2001, the Democrats were unconcerned about illegal ballots but desperate to ensure that military ballots weren’t counted. They knew that illegal votes would tend Democrat, and military votes would tend Republican.

That’s also why, in California, illegals were given drivers licenses in early 2016. If you’ve got a drivers license, it’s a lot easier to vote illegally, especially since the “Motor Voter” law means that people can register to vote when they get a driver’s license.

Fortunately for America, the Electoral College limits how much the crooked politician in California, and Illinois, can impact the presidential election. No matter how many dead people vote in Chicago or how many illegal immigrants vote in California, the dishonest Dems in those states can impact only a limited number of votes in the Electoral College.

Without the Electoral College, Democrat machines in cities like Chicago and corrupt Democrats in states like N.Y. and California could simply churn out enough votes to ensure that their candidate is elected president.

They’ve done something similar before. In the 1960 election, the southern, Republican precincts in Illinois reported their vote tallies. Then, later, Cook County – home to the Democrat machine – precincts reported and produced just enough votes to ensure that Illinois went to Kennedy.

Republicans learned their lesson, and in subsequent elections, southern areas reported a few totals and waited for the city to report a few totals to ensure that the Democrats couldn’t just magically produce the vote counts they needed.

When Democrats talk about democracy, they’re talking not about the choice of the American people, but of the choice of many illegal aliens, felons, and dead people.

To Democrats, all that matters is winning, and any technique they use is justified by the “goodness” of their cause. That’s why they reject the law this time and declare that the popular vote is all that matters.

Hence, in a world where Obama’s DOJ won’t investigate voter fraud, the Electoral College is our last protection against the many well established Democrat voter fraud machines.
