Claiming Barack Obama told non citizens to vote is a falsehood. Also known as a lie.
What lie have I told?
Did he say this?
"When you vote you are a citizen yourself"
Did he say this?
'there is not a situation where the voting rolls are transferred over and people start investigating...."
You denied that he told this to "undocumented citizens."
He did, you lied about it.
That's what Leftist politics forces adherents to.
My statement that Barack Obama was not encouraging non citizens to vote is the truth and my statement, unlike yours, is actually supported by fact checkers.
It's sad that you have to make things up because Trump is so thinned skinned that he can't accept he lost the popular vote.
You lied, denying that Obama said these things:
Did he say this?
"When you vote you are a citizen yourself"
Did he say this?
'there is not a situation where the voting rolls are transferred over and people start investigating...."
You denied that he told this to "undocumented citizens."
He did, you lied about it.
That's what Leftist politics forces adherents to.
He said other words in addition to those which remove the misguided belief that he encouraged non citizens to vote. He did not and you know it, but keep repeating an untruth. That’s lying.
The snake made the argument.....addressing 'undocumented citizens'....a non-existent category.....that they were eligible to vote in our presidential election.

He, and every cur who supports this effort, need be jailed
I recognize that you feel the heat.
Now you're just desperately spamming your own thread with misinformation. It's sad and funny to watch at the same time.
The interview, granted to the YouTube network MiTú, was intended to debunk voting myths in the Latino community; this specific question related to fears that any contact with the system may open up a legal voter’s family to immigration scrutiny. These are Obama’s remarks in full, with the relevant portions bolded:
First of all, when you vote, you are a citizen yourself. And there is not a situation where the voting rolls somehow are transferred over and people start investigating, et cetera. The sanctity of the vote is strictly confidential in terms of who you voted for.
If you have a family member who maybe is undocumented, then you have an even greater reason to vote … People are discouraged from voting, and part of what is important for Latino citizens is to make your voice heard, because you’re not just speaking for yourself. You’re speaking for family members, friends, classmates of yours in school who may not have a voice. Who can’t legally vote. But they’re counting on you to make sure that you have the courage to make your voice heard.
So where did all the confusion come from? Well — we blame interviewer Gina Rodriguez in part for this.
Rodriguez, best known for her starring role in “Jane the Virgin,” refers broadly to a fear of voting among “millennials, Dreamers [and] undocumented citizens,” failing to articulate that — while all these people may be concerned about immigration rumors — the millennials are the only ones of the bunch who actually cast a ballot. It’s also confusing that both she and Obama say “citizen,” but mean it in totally opposite ways: She’s referring to undocumented immigrants (“I call them citizens because they contribute to this country”) and he to people who are here legally (“when you vote, you are a citizen yourself”).
Still, you’d have to willfully misinterpret the whole exchange to come away thinking that Obama was encouraging voter fraud. Which is, incidentally, the exact sort of work that channels like “Wake Up America” thrive on (!).
What would make someone as allegedly smart as you like to tell us you are, willfully misemturpret what was said? Sad desperation because Trump admitted to being a traitor?First of all, when you vote, you are a citizen yourself.
