we'll be watching right?well I tell you what, you tell the fascists mayors and governors who feel they can violate federal laws that they will be arrested if they don't stop, then perhaps we can move on from all of this other bullshit, until that happens, party of country shit is unamerican. and each and everyone who violates our laws should be punished. period, I give two shits the party affiliation.I believe that the actual argument is that "illegals or non-citizens don't vote in significant numbers to alter Trumphs loss of the popular vote.
Non-citizens are voting illegally in Ohio, but the number is tiny
While the numbers may look significant, a tiny percentage of those discovered in two previous inquiries were pursued and prosecuted for voter fraud.
Of 44 people referred for prosecution in two previous elections, Attorney General Mike DeWine's office said eight were prosecuted and five were convicted. one was reported to a diversion program, and the records were sealed in two cases so the disposition is not known.
Of five convictions, one person was fined $300 on a falsification charge and four were sentenced to community control. None received jail time.
The five convictions compare to more than 8.2 million combined votes cast in the 2012 and 2014 election cycles.
Another seven cases were found where the individual was not a citizen when they registered, but became a citizen by the time they cast their ballot. There were another 29 people investigated by the Bureau of Criminal Identification who county prosecuting attorneys declined to prosecute or were not indicted by a grand jury.
Mayors tell fascist so-called President "CYa in court."
Opinion | Why Trump’s executive order on sanctuary cities is unconstitutional
The Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that the federal government may not “commandeer” state and local officials by compelling them to enforce federal law. Such policies violate the Tenth Amendment.
Section 1373 attempts to circumvent this prohibition by forbidding higher-level state and local officials from mandating that lower-level ones refuse to help in enforcing federal policy. But the same principle that forbids direct commandeering also counts against Section 1373. As the late conservative Justice Antonin Scalia explained in Printz v. United States, the purpose of the anti-commandeering doctrine is the “[p]reservation of the States as independent and autonomous political entities.” That independence and autonomy is massively undermined if the federal government can take away the states’ power to decide what state and local officials may do while on the job.
