Illegal noncitizen voters were three times more likely to be Dems than GOP
"Eloy Alberto Zayas-Berrier was part of the Mariel boatlift that brought 125,000 Cubans, including criminals and mental hospital patients, to the U.S. in 1980.
"He has been in a bizarre legal limbo ever since. He can’t qualify for U.S. citizenship, and Cuba has refused to take him back, so he is stuck on “parole.” He remains in the U.S. with only the barest legal protections and cannot obtain a green card. He is decidedly not a citizen.
"That did not stop him from showing up at an early-voting location in North Carolina on Nov. 5, 2016. He registered, claimed to be a citizen, and cast a ballot on the same day.
"Mr. Zayas said he accompanied a friend who was planning to vote. He said the poll worker encouraged him to sign up and vote, too.
"He showed his government-issued work permit as identification. The poll worker filled out a form for Mr. Zayas, who cannot read English. He registered as a Democrat.
"To hear the fact-checkers, Mr. Zayas is rarer than a lightning strike. They say noncitizens don’t vote in U.S. elections because they have too much to lose.
"Former President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson disagree." . . .
