Since the 2020 election, the most common response to claims of election fraud—from virtually all liberals and an unfortunate number of conservatives—has been that it either doesn’t exist or that it does but it’s time to move on. However, the earth-shattering declassifications President Trump revealed to the nation on July 16, along with the left-leaning networks’ decision to refuse to air them, prove that it is not merely necessary, but obligatory to once and for all uncover and end the practice of election fraud in America and prosecute those responsible.
During his 25-minute primetime address, President Trump revealed newly declassified information regarding five major areas of concern involving American elections and what he directly described as the Deep State: China’s acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files (including names, addresses, phone numbers, party affiliations of U.S. citizens and more), which he described as “the largest compromise of election data in history”; a subsequent cover-up of this and other key information by U.S. agencies such as the CIA and NSA; vulnerabilities in electronic voting and ballot-counting systems as well as other key election infrastructure; evidence of a massive voter fraud scheme in Michigan that was identified yet buried by government officials; and a DHS investigation that revealed hundreds of thousands of non-citizens on voter rolls throughout America.
This irrefutable information was unsurprising to those who have remained entrenched in the election integrity fight for the better part of a decade. But to the average citizen—who has been inundated with rehearsed lines about the 2020 election being “the most secure election in American history” (which Trump himself mocked during the address) or that election fraud is impossible and nothing more than a right-wing conspiracy theory—it was quite damning. Regardless of where one stood before the address, the question most are asking now is whether it still matters and, if so, why?
Firstly, though the Biden administration has come and gone, accurately documenting our nation’s history remains a matter of historical significance. To date, no official records note the various ways the 2020 election was illegally conducted—through governors and secretaries of state changing election laws and procedures that are reserved to state legislatures—or illegitimately certified, as was admitted this past January in Georgia. The only way to rectify this, no matter how long after the fact, is to follow the path toward total clarity that President Trump is leading. Additionally, while Trump did not go as far as announcing Georgia’s two Democrat senators as illegitimate —as some rumors (or perhaps leaks) alleged he would—the revelations he presented (along with other documented instances of fraud outside of the scope of these findings) strongly suggest that is the case. We are therefore still suffering injury as a nation from past election fraud, including from 2020. And due to the disproportionate resistance election fraud investigations face, we do not know how many other officials acquired their offices through illegitimate means. Such a travesty should be addressed regardless of how close the balance of power is. But this dilemma carries even greater weight considering Republican’s razor-thin Senate majority has proven insufficient to pass the Save America Act—the most powerful presently available mechanism to prevent election fraud from recurring.
Secondly, the declassified emails that were unearthed confirmed a tangible Deep State at work, not just vague speculation or allusions to one. The China breach, identified by the FBI months before the 2020 election, involved manufacturing illegal ballots for Joe Biden. Yet internal emails show intelligence analysts admitting they “deliberately massaged the presidential daily briefing to withhold information regarding Chinese activities related to the election,” while an FBI official described “running a shadow government”—both efforts aimed at preventing President Trump and the public from learning the truth and stopping the threat before the election. A separate scheme in 2020 that was reported to the FBI in Michigan saw state police raid a Democrat Get Out The Vote operation that revealed widespread fraud, including canvassers who admitted to signing voter registration forms in others’ names, submitting fraudulent registrations for people who did not exist, and receiving gift cards tied to the number of applications that they produced. Despite these key admissions, the investigation was slow-walked until the Biden administration took power and was subsequently squashed. The term “Deep State” has been overused to such a degree that many have become numb to its reality. But its existence—including an open admission of a shadow government—is now undeniable, even to those previously fearful of being labeled as crazy for believing so.
Lastly, one key element not detailed in the documents, but central to this grand conspiracy, is the mainstream media. China accessed sensitive information on 220 million Americans—a number that reaches nearly all voting-age American citizens (240 million) and far more than the roughly 175 million registered to vote. This alone signals a national emergency, yet numerous mainstream networks partook in a frantic weeklong scramble to “debunk” all of Trump’s forthcoming revelations before knowing what they would be—an inherently impossible task until the claims have been heard, analyzed, and investigated, which in and of itself is an extensive and time-consuming process. This, combined with their decision to not air Trump’s election fraud address while simultaneously trying to convince viewers there isn’t any, confirmed to every American—regardless of political affiliation—the exact opposite. Almost unbelievably, they dug their grave even deeper in the days that followed by citing the CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY’S denial as evidence that the revelations unearthed by the AMERICAN PRESIDENT, were untrue.
To this day, the media-Democrat party duo has condescendingly framed election fraud as nothing more than a coping mechanism concocted by the world’s biggest sore loser. While their framing was effective in keeping the focus away from the fraud itself and those carrying it out for a time—as was its intended purpose—most now know this to be untrue. Public perception has shifted, and actively present election fraud—which was the only thing preventing Americans from discovering that most strong Democrat showings in elections are lies birthed from fraud and propaganda, and is also the mechanism that results in our elections seemingly always resulting in a near-50-50 result—has become undeniable.
This explains why the Democrat Party vehemently opposes election-securing measures, despite the vast majority of Americans—and even a majority of Democrat voters—supporting them. It also explains why the media refuses to even cover it as a possibility, let alone a present reality, and why the “get over 2020” crowd is so mistaken. Election integrity is by far the most important issue of our time. Immigration, the economy, and foreign affairs are ever-present top issues of concern for Americans, rightfully so. But without free, fair, and trustworthy elections, as we saw in 2020, a candidate overwhelmingly preferred by the majority can still be denied his rightful office. And as long as those who enabled this system remain unaccountable, fraud will continue to disenfranchise the will of the people.
If last week’s revelations do not convince those straddling the fence that election integrity is a cause worth fighting for, nothing will.
