Research paper points out 6.4% non citizens voted in 2008 and helped elect Obama.
'No evidence of widespread voter fraud'..................
Researchers writing in the peer-reviewed Electoral Studies journal in 2014 estimated that 6.4 percent of noncitizens voted in the 2008 election. The 2014 paper Do non-citizens Vote in U.S. Elections? notes that while there is a legal ban on non-citizens voting, “enforcement depends principally on disclosure of citizenship status at the time of voter registration.”
The study authors found that noncitizen voters favored Democratic Party candidates and voted in sufficient numbers to change the composition of both the Electoral College and Congress. In particular, they found that noncitizen voters “likely gave Senate Democrats the pivotal 60th vote needed to overcome filibusters in order to pass health care reform and other Obama administration priorities in the 111th Congress.”
