Of course snopes calls the claims false. I especially found this comment about the Fox and Friends claim hysterical:
I am running out of words to describe the stupidity and or racism that would drive someone with at least the intelligence of plankton to believe these claims.
Add to that the fact that they ask us to believe that nearly 1/2 of the 12 million people who are in the country hiding from the police and immigration officials, walk into a voter registration office, proffer their mostly fake IDs and risk arrest and deportation solely so they can vote for their local dog catcher. It boggles the imagination.
But Trump supporters are a special brand of stupid. They are not thinking. They are emoting. Or worse yet. They are just garden variety racists. The same people who 100 years ago wailed about the "Irish invasion". The same racists who in my youth I knew to belong to the "gentile" country club. (No Jews or Catholics allowed.) They didn't even discuss blacks because there was never any question of a black joining a country club.
I suppose that the thing about the last election that most surprised me was the overwhelming evidence of just how many Americans are angry, deceived or just plain stupid. I have defaulted to stupid in the end because now, a year later, in the face of corrupt, disorganized, deceitful and amazingly disorganized behavior they still follow him. I mean really. These mouth-breathers, while claiming to be conservatives, applauded welfare for the wealthy while driving up the deficit to levels that would make a liberal Californian blush. One can only conclude that they are just not smart enough to know the difference. Sad.
Straight-faced claims that there is material evidence for up to 5.7 million non-citizen votes in 2008 are remarkable, given that the study commonly cited as the basis for this claim has provided material evidence for five (not even six!) non-citizen votes in that year.

To believe in God is impossible not to believe in Him is absurd.
