I think that most people who have paid attention over the last ten years or so believe that the Democrats will try anything in order to win an election, and what has already been done in order to defeat Donald Trump boggles the mind.

They have tried lawfare. They have undemocratically replaced their presidential nominee. They have lied about Trump and what he stands for and what he intends to do. But perhaps most disconcerting of all is that they have flooded the country with illegal foreigners.

I have said all along that the purpose for the Biden administration to allow unfettered illegal access to the southern border was to not only influence this election, but to alter the entire voting populace into Democrat voters in perpetuity. The Democrats want to use this influx of illegals to engineer a one-party rule in this country, in order to, as Barack Obama stated, “fundamentally transform” the US into a Marxist state.

As we hear reports of various organizations registering illegals to vote and states like Virginia which are being sued by the DOJ for removing noncitizens from their rolls, the question arises, how many noncitizens will actually vote in this election and how will those votes impact the results?
