The Curious Case of Non-Citizen Voting Concerns: Where Did They Go?

The Unending Blabber: Non-Citizen Voters

In the lead-up to this year's election, it felt like Republicans were echoing concerns about non-citizen voters everywhere. From social media platforms to the morning news shows, it seemed like this was THE issue that could potentially sway the votes. With every passing day, they warned about how these voters could undermine our democratic process, creating a sense of urgent alarm that filled the airwaves.

The Silence Post-Election

Fast forward to the election outcome: Trump won. And suddenly, the previously deafening chorus about non-citizen voting turned into crickets. Why did this happen? If this issue was of such paramount importance prior to the election, one would expect it to remain in the spotlight post-election, especially when triumphantly sitting on the winning side.

Scrutinizing the Results: A Double Standard?

Imagine for a moment if the tables had been turned. If Trump had lost the election, can you picture the uproar? Republican leaders and supporters surely would have been demanding stringent scrutiny of the results, probing into every ballot cast and investigating every alleged instance of non-citizen involvement. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case now that they have their desired result. The enthusiasm for looking into non-citizen voting has just evaporated into thin air.

It's puzzling. If this was such a critical topic leading up to the election, shouldn't it still matter? Shouldn't these same Republicans who were so concerned about the integrity of our elections continue to champion the cause? The silence on this issue raises some eyebrows. Are we to assume that non-citizen voting only matters when it could potentially affect the outcomes negatively for them? Or, does it point to a larger issue in the narrative they were pushing?

Ultimately, it’s hard not to see a double standard at play. The previous fervor regarding non-citizen voters seems to have been less about principle and more about winning. If it was genuinely as significant as they claimed, shouldn't there be an ongoing conversation about it? The lack of dialogue is almost as confusing as the original schism regarding non-citizen voting.

So, what gives? Where did the passion go for a topic that was apparently a cornerstone of their campaign rhetoric? It leads us all to wonder: If non-citizen voting was such a pressing issue before, why has it now become mute in light of the election results? Let’s hope this issue gets the scrutiny it deserves moving forward, because come on folks, democracy demands nothing less!
