BREAKING: Trump Claim Of "Millions Voted Illegally” Validated!

President Donald Trump's claim that millions of people who are in the country illegally voted in the 2016 presidential election may be true according to a new report by Just Facts.

The "widely cited, independent think tank" took a look at previous election information and reported that a few million illegals voted in the 2008 and 2012 elections: "far greater than previous estimates."

Per the Washington Times:

The research organization Just Facts, a widely cited, independent think tank led by self-described conservatives and libertarians, revealed its number-crunching in a report on national immigration.

Just Facts President James D. Agresti and his team looked at data from an extensive Harvard/YouGov study that every two years questions a sample size of tens of thousands of voters. Some acknowledge they are noncitizens and are thus ineligible to vote.

The report also explains the findings of a post-election study done by professors at Old Dominion University:

In one camp, there are groundbreaking studies by professors at Old Dominion University in Virginia who attempted to compile scientifically derived illegal voting numbers using the Harvard data, called the Cooperative Congressional Election Study.

On the other side are the professors who conducted the study and contended that "zero" noncitizens of about 18 million adults in the U.S. voted. The liberal mainstream media adopted this position and proclaimed the Old Dominion work was "debunked."

The ODU professors, who stand by their work in the face of attacks from the left, concluded that in 2008 as few as 38,000 and as many as 2.8 million noncitizens voted.

Mr. Agresti's analysis of the same polling data settled on much higher numbers. He estimated that as many as 7.9 million noncitizens were illegally registered that year and 594,000 to 5.7 million voted.

These numbers are more in line with the unverified estimates given by President Trump, who said the number of ballots cast by noncitizens was the reason he lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton.

Slightly less illegal votes were cast in the 2012 presidential race, though still a large number:

For 2012, Just Facts said, 3.2 million to 5.6 million noncitizens were registered to vote and 1.2 million to 3.6 million of them voted.

Mr. Agresti lays out his reasoning in a series of complicated calculations, which he compares to U.S. Census Bureau figures for noncitizen residents. Polls show noncitizens vote overwhelmingly Democratic.

The report debunks the claim of several ODU professors that "zero" illegal votes were cast (often cited in mainstream media):

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.
