“We should be unfaithful to ourselves if we should ever lose sight of the danger to our liberties if anything partial or extraneous should infect the purity of our free, fair, virtuous, and independent elections.” —John Adams (1797)

Two weeks after the biggest comeback in presidential history, I am still amazed that Donald Trump and JD Vance pulled it off. And they did so with expanding margins among unexpected voter constituencies.

But all the elation and relief aside, on Monday, January 20, 2025, day one of the next Trump administration, Republicans must disable the Democrats’ corrupt election strategy ahead of the 2026 midterm elections and the 2028 Vance presidential campaign.

Trump and Congress must singularly focus on defusing this threat.

Demos rigged the election process in 2020, and they believed their three-part strategy would set up a sure win for the Harris/Walz ticket this year.

First, they used their deep state assets to set up Trump for a plethora of lawfare prosecutions.

Second, over the last four years, they have orchestrated a massive effort to suppress conservative speech by collaborating with their Leftmedia publicists and social media platforms in order to keep a chokehold on public opinion.

Third, they have perfected their bulk-mail ballot fraud strategy, promoting the counting of millions of unauthenticated ballots cast by mail and in person in states that do not require voter ID. That strategy accounted for the Biden/Harris 2020 win by a popular vote margin of more than seven million votes, and they assumed it would get Harris and Walz across the finish line again.

It is this third issue that Republicans must address first, because despite her loss, there is a direct and irrefutable correlation between the states Harris/Walz won and voter ID requirements.

Demos had good reason to assume their 2020 fraud would work again: Of the votes cast then, 43% (66 million ballots) were by mail — and a majority of those were in states where authentication of the person receiving and casting the ballot was not required. More than 58% of Biden/Harris ballots, almost 47 million votes, were cast by mail.

Got that?

Demos believe their bulk-mail ballot fraud strategy, devoid of voter ID requirements, will enable them to perpetuate permanent majority control of the executive and legislative branches — and, ultimately, state governments nationwide. If left unchecked, this systemic election corruption will become virtually impossible to undo. That is to say, Republicans must use their majority tenure this coming year to stop this strategy. Or else.

Fortunately, the Demos’ fraud strategy had a BIG problem: The Harris/Walz ticket was, to put it kindly, uninspiring. Despite the bulk-mail registration and balloting in states with no voter ID requirement, and all the Leftmedia bias and conservative speech suppression, they still could not pull off a win.

As I have noted for three decades, just imagine what the political score would look like if the playing field was actually fair.

That ticket was an extension of the abysmal Biden/Harris record of domestic and foreign policy failures. It could not compete with the reality of Trump’s record of domestic and foreign policy successes.

And they could not cultivate trust beyond their base that Harris was not Biden 2.0. Kamala Harris has a long and prolific record of lying, as does her sidekick Tim Walz, particularly regarding his stolen valor record.

Thus, the triad of corrupt Demo machinations could not overcome the Biden/Harris/Walz liabilities. Consequently, there were seven million fewer Demo ballots cast in 2024 than were cast in 2020. And the question about why, what happened to those voters, is intriguing. Perhaps some went to the Trump/Vance column, but I suspect, beyond those that were simply uninspired, that many assumed that Harris would defeat Trump by a wide margin.

The result was that Trump and Vance won the Electoral College 312 to 226, with, as of this writing, 76,792,000 to 74,238,000 votes. Thanks to a good GOP ground game (finally) and early voting, the Trump/Vance ticket got almost 2.6 million more votes this year than Trump/Pence received in 2020 — and won six more Electoral College votes than Biden/Harris in 2020 (312 to 306).

The Trump/Vance victory is a testament, first and foremost, to a groundswell of grassroots American Patriots who supported them. You know, those voters broad-brushed as “bitter, deplorable, racist, misogynist, fascist, garbage”!

That being said, despite all the proclamations to the contrary, the Trump/Vance win was not a “landslide victory” supporting a “clear mandate.” This was no Ronald Reagan 1984 landslide reelection, in which he won 49 states and a record 525 electoral votes.

In fact, today, the Trump/Vance popular vote total dropped below the 50% mark.

Here’s why defusing the Demos’ bulk-mail ballot fraud strategy first thing is so important.

Looking at the maps in the image above, here is what you need to know.

Of all the states Harris won, only two, New Hampshire and Rhode Island, require a photo ID to vote. Several states she won require or make optional a non-photo ID.

But get this: More than 60 million of the 161 million registered voters in the U.S. in 2024 live in states that require NO voter identification/authentication — zero, none — to ensure who is actually casting that ballot. Almost all of those voters are, of course, in Democrat-controlled states.

Look at those maps again — because short of legislative correction, Democrats are poised to retake the House and Senate in 2026, and running a younger and more charismatic ticket in 2028 will make them difficult to beat. That is the hard reality.

Since 2020, some states have strengthened their election integrity requirements, including mandating voter IDs.

Moreover, in July of this year, as a first step toward federal election integrity, the House successfully passed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act to ensure only U.S. citizens vote in federal elections, with five Democrats voting with Republicans. Apparently, there are five House Democrats who still possess a modicum of integrity.

Of course, the Biden/Harris administration issued a strong condemnation of the SAVE Act because Democrats know that, as aforementioned, the perpetuation of their political party control depends on opposing any and all voter ID requirements.

Biden continues to claim, as he has for years, that requiring a voter ID is an “attempt to repress minority voting.” His corrupt attorney general, Merrick Garland, likewise declared this year, “That is why we are challenging efforts by states and jurisdictions to implement discriminatory, burdensome, and unnecessary restrictions on access to the ballot, including those related to mail-in voting, the use of drop boxes, and voter ID requirements.”

Democrats label any measure to authenticate who is voting as “racist,” “voter intimidation,” and “voter suppression” while mislabeling their systemic voter fraud proposals as “voter rights.”

Expanding the Voter Eligibility Act to include voter authentication by ID must come next. While our Constitution provides that states can set the terms for their respective elections, I think that congressional legislation to require ID for national elections will stand up to Supreme Court review.

However, combined with Biden’s bulk voter registration mandate, the Demos’ bulk-mail ballot fraud is a slam dunk with qualified candidates.

Trump will have to be careful with overreach, but I believe if he manages the next two years well, Republicans can rally a broader swath of America to the conservative side of the ledger and pave the path for a larger Vance victory in 2028.

Republicans must make demolishing the Demos’ ballot fraud strategy a high priority now.
