During the 2016 presidential election, one of the most controversial claims made by then-candidate Donald Trump was that Democrats were allowing illegal aliens to vote, being a remark that got brutally criticized by the mainstream media, which accused him of spreading false claims. However, almost a year after he became president, this controversial comment proved to be true, after a key election official in Florida admitted that actually happened.
Her name is Brenda Snipes, an Elections Supervisor who revealed that both noncitizens and felons have voted illegally in Broward County. She made this comment in order to defend her office against a lawsuit brought by conservative legal group American Civil Rights Union.
Apparently, this group contends there are more voters registered on Broward’s roll than there are eligible voters in the County, being a concerning situation that could represent an illegal activity from the Democrats in the state. According to the lawsuit, those rolls were inflated not only with noncitizens and felons, but also other ineligible people who voted illegally.

Interesting story here about possible voter fraud in Broward County Florida.
And that County has some problems with "voters" that are dead.
Possible connections.
Snipes testified that some people who have been registered “are not eligible to vote and they slip through.”
“This is a huge job that has so many pieces,” especially when dealing with a roll of 1.1 million voters that is constantly changing, Snipes said. “Sure, you’re going to have mistakes.”
It can take years before some ineligible voters are removed from the county’s lists because of safeguards built into voter laws to guard against voters being disenfranchised due to data errors. For instance, reports of non-citizens have included names of immigrants who have become naturalized citizens. Felony rolls sometimes miss individuals who have had their civil rights restored.
In 2012, when Florida Gov. Rick Scott pushed counties to use a national database of non-citizens to remove ineligible voters, some eligible voters that were SEIU members were erroneously purged from the rolls, Naifeh said. The original list had 182,000 alleged non-citizens that eventually was reduced to fewer than 200.
The ACRU case focused on voter lists that included dead people, 130-year-olds, felons, duplicate registrations, invalid commercial addresses and that had “improbably high” voter registration rates. Snipes testified that some people who have been registered “are not eligible to vote and they slip through.”
“This is a huge job that has so many pieces,” especially when dealing with a roll of 1.1 million voters that is constantly changing, Snipes said. “Sure, you’re going to have mistakes.”
Her defense was the steps her office already takes to keep the lists accurate. Tens of thousands of ineligible voters are removed each year. Voters who have died, become felons or become mentally incapacitated are identified in data sent daily from the state. To catch voters who have moved out of the county, a national change of address search is done every two years. Mailers are sent out to voters regularly, and the office reacts to those that are returned undeliverable.

Still, the ACRU says having a high number of ineligible voters on the rolls increases the opportunity for illegal votes to be cast. In a state where 537 votes decided its choice for president in 2000, when George W. Bush eked out a victory over Al Gore, even small numbers can matter, Adams said

no doubt. Asking for proof you aren't dead, a felon, illegally here and voting anyway. mean old righties. Hell, next thing you know, they will want you to PROVE WHO YOU ARE when you vote. Talk about unfair. We all know those on the left aren't smart enough to have ID's.

Also notice there is no outrage from the left when people without ID's are denied access to medication.
Yet most of the same leftists say that access to healthcare is a right.
