It is not baseless conspiracy theorizing to wonder why Democrats seem so focused on eliminating voter rules and jeopardizing basic voter principles, such as only citizens should vote in elections or election deadlines should mean something.
A Chinese student who is legally in the country but is not an American citizen cast a ballot in Michigan after falsely identifying himself as a citizen and registering to vote using his student ID. He is facing around 15 years in prison for perjury. His ballot was illegally cast, and he is going to be incarcerated for it, and yet Michigan apparently has no standards or safeguards in place to prevent this from happening because the state already counted his ballot and confirmed his vote will count.
In fact, Michigan didn’t even catch this. The student was only caught because he attempted to retrieve his ballot after it had been cast by contacting the local clerk’s office. Michigan made no effort to determine whether this man was even allowed to register to vote, so he registered and then voted right under the noses of the state’s Democratic election officials.
Do Democrats even want safeguards to prevent noncitizens from voting? That answer would appear to be no, as Virginia had to go all the way to the Supreme Court to defend removing 1,600 people from its voter rolls when those people have self-identified as noncitizens. President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice fought to ensure that those noncitizens remained on Virginia’s voter rolls, with the support of several federal judges and the three liberal justices on the Supreme Court, who were thankfully overruled by the other six justices.
Meanwhile, just days before the election, Pennsylvania appeals court judges ruled that the state’s rules requiring ballots to be dated violates the free and equal election clause of the state Constitution. This means that ballots do not need to have a date to be counted because election deadlines are “arbitrary.”

This leads to scenarios such as the one in Democratic Nevada, where the Nevada Supreme Court determined that ballots that are not postmarked can still be counted as long as they are received within three days after Election Day. In other words, Nevada’s election deadline is less of a deadline and more of a suggestion, despite the fact that voters already have two weeks of early voting before Election Day to get their ballots in on time.
These are violations of the most basic principles of what elections are and how they should work, and these violations are being pushed by Democratic administrations, Democratic election officials, and liberal judges. You cannot possibly complain about election conspiracy theories about voter fraud or “cheating” while fighting to allow late ballots or make it easier for noncitizens to vote. Any conversation about election truthers must start with why Democrats are fighting against having any rules around voting.
