Jaw-Dropping Study Claims Large Numbers of Non-Citizens Vote in U.S.

This study’s claim is pretty eye-opening…
Our data comes from the Cooperative Congressional Election Study (CCES). Its large number of observations (32,800 in 2008 and 55,400 in 2010) provide sufficient samples of the non-immigrant sub-population, with 339 non-citizen respondents in 2008 and 489 in 2010. For the 2008 CCES, we also attempted to match respondents to voter files so that we could verify whether they actually voted.
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.
(Note that they keep using the term, “non-citizen,” without specifying whether they mean immigrants who have entered the country illegally or immigrants who are in the process of legally becoming citizens — lawful permanent residents, a.k.a. “green card” holders, or both. It’s a crime either way, but it’s easier to imagine a lawful permanent resident mistakenly thinking they have already earned the right to vote.)
If they mean 6.4 percent of 11 million illegal immigrants… we’re talking about roughly 700,000 votes being cast by non-citizens in 2008. Stunning. If true, it refutes my earlier contention that proven cases of voter fraud would only swing elections in races that come down to a few hundred votes.

The extrapolation is jaw dropping. Can this study be validated?
They are called ‘undocumented Democrats’.
The only reason the Democrats opposed voter ID laws is because a good portion of their ‘base of supporters’= Illegals who come here and get free welfare, Obama phones, and medical care so they can drop their ‘anchor babies’.
You got that right. #2
No taxation without representation was a principle that led to the Declaration of Independence… so if I can’t vote, I shouldn’t pay taxes
” I can’t vote, I shouldn’t pay taxes” You are here illegal do you think you should vote ?
(e.g., the Voting Rights Act of 1965).[2] At least four of the fifteen post-Civil War constitutional amendments were ratified specifically to extend voting rights to different groups of citizens
Key word ( CITIZENS) Get it #4
