The things that never happens and which must not be remedied by having Voter ID (a policy the vast majority of the country outside of Northern Virginia supports) keep happening. Again and again… and yet again.
Today, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), in partnership with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), arrested Mahady Sacko, a criminal illegal alien from Mauritania, charged for voter fraud in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Sacko has been illegally voting in this country since 2008. He entered the U.S. near Miami, Florida and an Immigration Judge ordered him removed. Sacko exhausted all appeals, and the Board of Immigration Appeals upheld his removal on November 14, 2002—over two decades ago.
Mauritania is a majority Muslim country.
How was Sacko able to vote in not just one, but seven federal elections (and who knows how many local ones?) The good news is since he was doing it in Philly, he can probably successfully argue that the notorious voter fraud machine in that city was doing it for him, having stolen his name, registered him to vote and then voted in his name.
And, frankly, it’s as good of an explanation as any. Because that is what our elections look like without Voter ID.
