“Voter fraud is a myth!” How many times have we heard that line from Democratic talking heads? They’ve spent years insisting that non-citizens voting in our elections is as rare as a politician keeping their promises. Meanwhile, conservatives raising legitimate concerns about election integrity get labeled as “conspiracy theorists” faster than you can say “voter ID.”
Well, well, well… what do we have here? Yet another case of the fraud that supposedly “never happens” has emerged in the Sunshine State. Funny how these “isolated incidents” keep piling up, isn’t it? But don’t expect this story to make the nightly news on those mainstream channels – it doesn’t fit their preferred narrative.
From ‘The Post Millennial’:
Two female Ukrainian nationals are facing federal charges for allegedly casting votes as noncitizens in the US presidential election during early voting on October 31, 2024, in Palm Beach, Florida.
That’s right, patriots. A mother-daughter duo from Ukraine decided they’d participate in selecting the next American president, despite that pesky detail of not being American citizens. Svitlana Demydenko, 53, and her daughter Yelyzaveta, 22, appeared before a federal judge in West Palm Beach on April 29, facing charges for illegally casting ballots in our presidential election.
These Ukrainian nationals arrived in the United States on nonimmigrant visas in April 2021 – during the opening act of the Biden administration’s border disaster. By August 2024, they had somehow registered to vote in Palm Beach County through a system that supposedly requires voters to certify their citizenship status. Three months later, they were casting ballots in America’s presidential election.
Foreign Fingerprints on the Ballot Box
The investigation involved multiple agencies, including Homeland Security Investigations, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s Election Crime Unit, and the Department of State’s Office of Election Crimes and Security. They’re taking this seriously – but where was this vigilance before these foreign nationals cast their votes?
This case raises a disturbing question: How many other non-citizens have voted without getting caught? If two Ukrainian nationals could so easily register and vote in Florida – a state with relatively strong election laws – what’s happening in states with even weaker safeguards?
President Trump has been warning about this vulnerability for years. Remember the outrage when he suggested non-citizens might be voting? The same Democrats who mockingly dismissed his concerns are suspiciously quiet now that federal prosecutors are bringing charges in this very real case.
When “Never Happens” Happens…Again
The timing couldn’t be more revealing. This case emerges just as Republicans in Congress have been pushing legislation requiring proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. Democrats, predictably, have fought these measures tooth and nail, labeling them as “voter suppression.”
But ask yourself: Who exactly is being “suppressed” by requiring voters to be citizens? Last time I checked, citizenship was still a requirement for voting in federal elections. Or perhaps Democrats believe that’s just another outdated concept, like borders and the Constitution.
These two Ukrainian nationals were caught, but they represent just the tip of the iceberg. The previous administration allowed millions of illegal immigrants to pour across our southern border. How many of them found their way onto voter rolls across the country? And how many will attempt to vote in future elections if we don’t act now?
Citizenship: The Forgotten Voting Requirement
Our election system operates largely on the honor system when it comes to citizenship verification. In many jurisdictions, including Palm Beach County where this fraud occurred, individuals simply check a box declaring they’re citizens. No proof required.
This case demonstrates the urgent need for universal citizenship verification in our voting process. Requiring a valid ID and proof of citizenship isn’t voter suppression – it’s election protection. Every illegal ballot cancels out the vote of a law-abiding American citizen.
As President Trump works to restore integrity to our institutions, this case serves as a timely reminder of why election security must remain a top priority. The sanctity of the ballot box is fundamental to our republic – and it’s worth fighting to protect.
Key Takeaways:
- Two Ukrainian nationals have been charged with illegally voting in the 2024 presidential election in Florida, directly contradicting claims that non-citizen voting “never happens.”
- They registered to vote through a system that relies on self-certification of citizenship rather than actual verification, exposing a critical weakness in our election system.
- This case validates Republican concerns about election integrity and underscores the need for citizenship verification requirements at the ballot box.
