Associated Press runs article sneering at people who believe non-citizens are registering to vote

The Associated Press (AP) is one of the largest "wire services" in the world.  For young Americans a "wire service" is a company that largely determines what you read in newspapers and on the Net, and see and hear on "newz" broadcasts.

Here's how it works: if an illegal alien murders some unfortunate victim anywhere in the U.S., the local newspaper shoots their story of that murder up to the AP, where the editors decide whether to "put it on the wire"--which makes it available to virtually every paper and TV station in the country.

So the stories that go on the AP "feed" are only what the editors at the AP decide to put there.  The power to determine what news stories get on the "wire" is huge.

With that as background: Last Friday the AP ran a story titled "NOT REAL NEWS: A look at what didn't happen this week."  The story was discrediting various stories circulating on the internet, sneering at the stupid deplorable who believed those stories--which the AP article assures you are "NOT REAL."

Cuz the Mainstream Media is adamant that anyone who believes anything that contradicts the regime's version of "reality" is a dumb deplorable, eh?

So...the first story the AP article sneered at claimed that a database run by the Social Security regime showed that in three key "swing states"--Arizona, Texas and Pennsylvania--the number of voters registering without showing photo ID is skyrocketing.  

If true, this would suggest that what the AP always calls "migrants"--non-citizens--are registering to vote in those states.

In the new style beloved by liberal editors, the AP piece has this 'graf:

THE FACTS: Election officials in all three states said the information being shared is incorrect. In fact, recent voter registrations in those states are well below the numbers being cited online.

First thing to note: There's no "attribution" for the AP's claim.  That is, no "election official" in any of the crucial swing states is quoted by name.  That's a big red flag.  They could be all hard-core Democats, or they might not even exist.  You have no way of knowing--but most readers never pick up on that.

Then the AP uses a logic trick called "non-sequitur."  (For young Americans, "non-sequitur" means the conclusion doesn't follow from the first statement.):

"In fact, recent voter registrations are well below the numbers being cited online."

Does that disprove the story making the rounds on the internet?  Of course not.  The "numbers cited online" might be five percent higher than the state officials admit, but that hardly disproves the story. Again, no numbers are given--but no reader notices.  The AP expects readers will believe whatever their story says, even without numbers --which is true.  

Then there's a "naked assertion" and a second "non-sequitur" in the AP's propaganda piece:

Noncitizen voting is exceedingly rare, as states have processes to prevent it.

If you've ever studied advertising or propaganda this is a screaming red flag--a telltale sign that you're being conned.  Consider the AP's carefully-chosen phrase "exceedingly rare."  So let's say just one percent of votes are cast by the 35 million non-citicens living in the U.S.  Hey, how could "just one percent"  have any effect, eh?

But of course you know that the last presidential election was decided by 11,000 votes in both Georgia and Arizona, and barely more than that in two other crucial swing states--enough to change the claimed total of electoral votes.

What percentage is 11,779 of the 5 MILLION votes cast in, say, Georgia?  It's less than one-quarter of one percent.  Of course you never knew that, because the Mainstream Media didn't tell ya.

If the senile, corrupt Democrat had LOST by such a tiny percent, do ya think the Dems would have had every court looking for fraud?

You're g*ddamn right they would have.  And the Mainstream Media would have totally supported that. 

Now:  In Fulton County every "election workers" is a Democrat, hired by Democrats.  If those "workers" claim mail-in ballots with clearly non-matching signatures, or no witnesses, are legitimate, do ya think they could "authenticate" 11,000 ballots?

Of course.  There's actual surveillance video of "election workers" approving mail-in ballots as authentic, despite the fact that the signature on file is elegant and legible, while the sig on the ballot is literally a wavy line!

But hey, no fraud there, eh?  

Now let's examine the second part of the AP's cunning propaganda:

"Noncitizen voting is exceedingly rare, as states have processes to prevent it.

Ahhhh, y'say "states have processes to prevent it"!  Well there ya go, citizen!  No worries!

Wait...is that like the federal government has "processes" that are supposed to vet anyone applying for "asylum" in the U.S.?  "Processes" to prevent Medicare fraud, welfare fraud and so on?  How well do those vaunted "processes" work, eh?  

But the AP's leftist editors know naive readers will interpret their line that "states have processes to prevent it" as meaning there are too few non-citizens illegally registering to swing any of the six "battleground states" to change the outcome. 

Since we just showed that the margin in several "swing states" was less than one-quarter of one percent, it's clearly possible for non-citizens to have changed the result--and to do it again this November.  And that's in addition to Democrat U.S. citizens exploiting state laws allowing voting without photo ID voting more than once.  But none of that matters to the AP, since the purpose of the AP article was to get readers all across the U.S. to believe that illegal aliens aren't registering to vote in November, and that vote fraud can't change the result of an election.   

Then after the election (i.e. when no court will do anything about it), if thousands of mail-in ballots are discovered to have been cast by non-citizens, the bleat will be "Oh maybe a few hundred ballots were cast by non-citizens, but not enough to change the result."

Except: you will not have found all the mail-in ballots from non-citizens, or in-person votes by non-citizens.*
