A sighting of the old zombie study proving on the basis of a completely factitious approach to some very dubious data that 5.7 million "illegal aliens"--more than half the total undocumented population--came out to vote in 2008:
This isn’t surprising to those of us who are being honest about the corruption in our political system. https://t.co/p2tc835TB6— Defend Trump (@Defend_Trump) August 27, 2018
It shouldn't be too surprising, given that the story came out 14 months ago.— Yasphalt Jungle (@Yastreblyansky) August 27, 2018
But it was always a meaningless extrapolation from unreliable data and it still is. pic.twitter.com/WndyOtTobO
Then somebody called Jay, apparently a Rams fan, came out to clarify that the wrong thing the "Just Facts" consortium had said was in fact the thing they had said, though he didn't proffer any evidence that it wasn't wrong.

No. The authors of the the Cooperative Congressional Election Study (CCES) from which Richman and Earnest got their data have explained why these conclusions are wrong https://t.co/rCa4LwbN5p— Yasphalt Jungle (@Yastreblyansky) August 27, 2018
So Jay started bringing out the heavy ammunition: specious anecdotes!
You are afraid of reality! ANYONE who thinks illegals and the death aren't being counted as viable votes is a person that escapes the real world for some pseudo-Utopian nightmare! pic.twitter.com/q1Ci1srvPy— Jay (@Rams_are_home) August 27, 2018
On the other hand, after Dr. Google had succeeded in digging up Jay's sources, they turned out to have a somewhat peculiar property associated with the date they'd been published on.
Uh, pal? You didn't link those clips to a source, but I was able to find it. https://t.co/BtoP4NXkm0 Here's how it ends: pic.twitter.com/n0fxxrUKHa— Yasphalt Jungle (@Yastreblyansky) August 27, 2018
But the epistemic closure is strong with this one. Amazingly, he wasn't daunted at all:
I don't care if it was an April fools or not! Info had to come from somewhere! Like most things people make up, those things find grounding in reality; a part of life you Leftists avoid! How about ACTUALLY real people, not actors?https://t.co/94RGrdcPSU— Jay (@Rams_are_home) August 27, 2018
Yea! Believing that illegals and the dead didn't vote IS quite fictitious! It's also Cognitive Dissonance!— Jay (@Rams_are_home) August 27, 2018
