Former Obama administration official and onetime TIME editor Richard "Dick" Stengel posted one of those classic “I just don’t get it” takes that the left loves to roll out whenever anyone brings up election integrity.
These people are beyond predictable.
He can’t fathom why an illegal would ever risk voting illegally when deportation is supposedly on the table.
Ummm... yeah.
Bless his heart.
The thing I've never understood is why would an undocumented immigrant or non-citizen want to risk being arrested and deported by voting illegally? The answer is, they don't, and that's why they don't try to vote.

We’ve got real-world examples popping up in places like New Jersey where illegals have ended up on voter rolls—sometimes for years—often registering as Democrats. Some even cast ballots before the mess got cleaned up.
Audits and public records requests keep turning up these cases, and that’s just what gets caught.
With motor-voter systems, automatic registration pushes, and mail-in ballots flying around, the guardrails aren’t as tight as they should be.
And he damn well knows that.

Then why are you so desperately working to prevent proof of citizenship, if no illegals would dare to vote? 80% of the country supports election integrity. Why are you opposed? Is it because Democrats actually need the fraudulent votes?

They’re here illegally, they’re already running a risk of getting arrested and deported.

Are you really this stupid.

Yes, or at least he thinks the rest of us are.
You are a moron. We've had people arrested recently who are non-citizens who've voted. One in PA who had voted in like the last three presidential elections.

But illegals fear breaking the law and stuff. Oh ... wait.
