Asked and answered, PoliticalNagLOLOf course it was debunked.There was no such 'debunking.'
There were simply the claims of Leftist academicians.
The latest study explains exactly why the earlier attempt was.....like you.....wrong.
a) it was an unscientific online poll.
b) many respondents changed their answer on the question of being a U.S. citizen from one poll to the next.
You're so desperate to fluff Trump, you'll accept anything, no matter how rightarded. But claiming 5.7 million illegal aliens voted in the election is simply downright stupid, even for you.
Oh, and need I remind you, there have been only two such cases confirmed?
Of course it wasn't.
Have someone read this to you:
"He believes the Harvard/YouGov researchers based their “zero” claim on two flawed assumptions. First, they assumed that people who said they voted and identified a candidate did not vote unless their names showed up in a database.
“This is illogical, because such databases are unlikely to verify voters who use fraudulent identities, and millions of noncitizens use them,” Mr. Agresti said.
He cites government audits that show large numbers of noncitizens use false IDs and Social Security numbers in order to function in the U.S., which could include voting.
Second, Harvard assumed that respondent citizens sometimes misidentified themselves as noncitizens but also concluded that noncitizens never misidentified themselves as citizens, Mr. Agresti said.
“This is irrational, because illegal immigrants often claim they are citizens in order to conceal the fact that they are in the U.S. illegally,” he said.
Some of the polled noncitizens denied they were registered to vote when publicly available databases show that they were, ...."
Report: As Many as 5.7 Million Non-Citizens Voted in 2008 Election
You can't lie your way out of this, PoliticalHack
Methodological challenges affect study of non-citizens’ votingFurthermore, it was determined that respondents were wrong at best, or lied at worst, when claiming their immigration status...
A number of academics and commentators have already expressed skepticism about the paper’s assumptions and conclusions, though. In a series of tweets, New York Times columnist Nate Cohn focused his criticism on Richman et al’s use of Cooperative Congressional Election Study data to make inferences about the non-citizen voting population. That critique has some merit, too. The 2008 and 2010 CCES surveyed large opt-in Internet samples constructed by the polling firm YouGov to be nationally representative of the adult citizen population.
It turns out that such response error was common for self-reported non-citizens in the 2010-2012 CCES Panel Study — a survey that re-interviewed 19,533 respondents in 2012 who had currently participated in the 2010 CCES. The first table below, for instance, shows that nearly one-fifth of CCES panelists who said that they were not American citizens in 2012 actually reported being American citizens when they were originally surveyed for the 2010 CCES. Since it’s illogical for non-citizens in 2012 to have been American citizens back in 2010, it appears that a substantial number of self-reported non-citizens inaccurately reported their (non)citizenship status in the CCES surveys.
I asked you how many illegal aliens are living in this country.
Why are you afraid to answer?
