If U.S. citizens can only vote once in elections, how did the Muslim mall shooter vote 3 times?

If U.S. citizens can only vote once in elections, how did the Muslim mall shooter vote 3 times? October 5, 2016

Arcan Cetin is a Turkish Muslim who immigrated to the United States with his family when he was a child. Though he has a green card, Cetin is not a U.S. citizen, yet, he has voted in three elections, which is against the law. Oh, yeah, he’s also the terrorist who shot and killed five people at the Cascade Mall in Washington State. (Also against the law.)

But, but, but Democrats tell us all the time that there are no problems with non-U.S. citizens voting. However, we have one right here. And if that were the only example it would be too much. Unfortunately, Cetin is just one of many.

According to The Washington Post:

How many non-citizens participate in U.S. elections? More than 14 percent of non-citizens in both the 2008 and 2010 samples indicated that they were registered to vote. Furthermore, some of these non-citizens voted. Our best guess, based upon extrapolations from the portion of the sample with a verified vote, is that 6.4 percent of non-citizens voted in 2008 and 2.2 percent of non-citizens voted in 2010.

Because non-citizens tended to favor Democrats (Obama won more than 80 percent of the votes of non-citizens in the 2008 CCES sample), we find that this participation was large enough to plausibly account for Democratic victories in a few close elections.

Well, isn’t that special? Now we see why Democrats are so quick to brush the problem away!

So, how did Cetin get away with voting in Washington? Records show that he registered in 2014 and participated in three elections including the presidential primary in May. Washington Secretary of State Kim Wyman explained how this happened:

“We don’t have a provision in state law that allows us either county elections officials or the Secretary of State’s office to verify someone’s citizenship.”

Unbelievable. Tell me again how voter ID laws are racist?
