Oh, look! Election fraud.

School board election in NY. Torn up ballots found in the trash. Likely ballot forgery.

But I was told by Democrats that voter fraud doesn't exist is only done by Republicans.

Let me guess. The torn up ballots were votes against the union shill-candidate(s).

Alabama Case Spotlights Reality of Noncitizens Voting in U.S. Elections

...

A case in Alabama has become an example some Republicans spotlight to show how, despite existing voting laws, some noncitizens have been able to participate in elections.

The battle played out in Alabama over several years when Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen identified 3,251 individuals in 2023 who were registered to vote in Alabama and had been issued noncitizen identification numbers by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). At the time, Allen said he was repeatedly denied help from the Biden administration. He also noted at the time it was possible for some of the individuals to have become naturalized citizens who are eligible to vote, and said the Secretary of State’s Office would allow them to update their information and participate in the civil process.

His efforts to clean up the voter rolls were blocked in court during the Biden administration, but under President Donald Trump, Allen was able to have 186 noncitizens who were registered to vote removed from the state’s voter file in January 2026. Allen partnered with the federal government to gain access to the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program, which is a program used to identify noncitizens registered to vote in different states. That program was also blocked by a federal judge in June.

Although they have already reached DEFCON-1 levels of bat-shit crazy, President Trump's prime time address tonight is going to make the leftists/media go bonkers. He's apparently going to speak at length about election interference, which really triggers the nutjob left. I look forward to it.

Leftist head a'splodin' time will be when he starts laying down line by line EVIDENCE (that will be usable in trials, doncha know) of the pattern of Dim'Rat election fraud, and WHO has been orchestrating it for them (Lookin' at YOU, CCP...)

I'm willing to bet that the legacy Stasi media outlets WILL NOT cover this speech. For us who are interested (no baseball until tomorrow due to the All-Star break), the only TV places one will likely find the speech will be on Fox News, Newsmax, or online. Just my hunch.

AOC has demanded that Alphabet Soup news not carry it. Dems and their MSM-shills still have not absorbed the simple fact that Alphabet Soupers lost their monopoly on skews decades ago. On satellite, Salem News Network will be carrying it.

U.S. networks face dilemma over whether to air Trump’s election security speech

https://srnnews.com/u-s-networks-face-dilemma-over-whether-to-air-trumps-election-security-speech/

NEW YORK, July 16 (Reuters) – U.S. television networks are weighing whether to carry a planned primetime address on Thursday by President Donald Trump, who is expected to focus his remarks on election security, four months before critical midterm elections.

Networks have historically carried most such speeches on the grounds that they provide information of public importance.

The White House is considering using the speech to disclose sensitive intelligence related to China’s intention or ability to interfere in the 2020 U.S. election, Reuters reported on Wednesday, which some Trump officials worry could be misleading.
...
Some Democrats, including U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have urged networks not to air the speech, arguing Trump is likely to repeat debunked claims.

Spokespeople for the three major U.S. networks — ABC, CBS and NBC — did not respond to Reuters questions about whether they planned to carry the address live. CNN and Fox News also did not respond to a request for comment.

WRT "Networks have historically carried most such speeches" that began to change in the 1980s when anti-Reagan skews manglers at the networks realized that Reagan was an effective and persuavive communicator whose speeches bypassed and countered their biased skews reports.

I'm telling ya', CNN and MS13-NOW will NOT cover, and if they do, they'll have Fake Yapper on CNN continually interrupting and/or cutting away. MadCow & Hayes on MS13-NOW will simply yack about how deranged the President is. The major over-the-air networks might be forced begrudgingly to cover it.

What are the odds they cut away for 5 minutes of Geritol, Ensure, Medicare Part C/D supplements and Viagra commercials after every 2 minutes of the President's address?

Just casually asking, you understand...

As predicted by yours truly:

New: Trump's Primetime Speech Snubbed by NBC and ABC

President Donald Trump is delivering a major speech this evening. These are generally considered events worth covering (and stay tuned, because we'll be covering it here at RedState) and, out of respect for the office, if nothing else, the major media, legacy and new, should do the president the courtesy of covering the event.

I mean, the legacy media covered (and covered up) Joe Biden's adventures down Dementia Lane as well as Kamala Harris's eyebrow-furrowing word salads, after all.

Apparently, it's not that way anymore. Two major legacy media outlets, ABC and NBC, are giving the president the cold shoulder.

The New York Times chimed in as well.

Neither ABC nor NBC is planning to pre-empt regularly scheduled entertainment programming at 9 p.m. when Mr. Trump speaks. Fox News, which airs “Hannity” during that time slot, has not said if it will broadcast the president’s address.

CBS, CNN and MS NOW did not respond to inquiries about their programming plans for Thursday evening.

I'd make a guess, but... I'd be more than a bit surprised if Fox doesn't cover the speech, but CBS, CNN and MS NOW, well, I'd be even more surprised if they don't follow NBC and CBS's rather spiteful example.

The uncertainty is a direct result of the potential for Mr. Trump’s speech to become partisan or incendiary. The president is expected to raise the specter of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election, according to people familiar with his plans. Mr. Trump has said his address will concern election security, and that he has “really, really big news” to share.

If Mr. Trump makes unsubstantiated allegations of election rigging, network executives will need to decide whether to ask their anchors to break in and fact-check the president’s remarks, or wait until he is finished speaking to provide context.

Oh please. Like, no Democrat president ever made an unsubstantiated allegation? Besides, this reporting should be coverage, not analysis; do the analysis and commentary after the fact.

Let's face it, the treatment of President Trump by the legacy media has been shameful from the word go. From uneven coverage during campaigns to debate moderators openly challenging Mr. Trump's remarks, the legacy media have been clowning themselves at every turn.

But this isn't about the treatment of Donald John Trump, the man. This is about some elementary respect for the office of the President of the United States, no matter who sits in that chair. The major networks owe it to their viewers to present the president's remarks and let them, the voters, make up their own minds about what he said. The networks can bring out their talking heads after the president is finished. That's fine. That's how it's normally done.

But nothing about the legacy media's treatment of President Trump has been anything like how it's normally done.

Now, regarding the substance of the speech:

Trump Drops Bombshell Election Fraud Intel. Here’s What It Says.

That evidence is now public. The White House posted a batch of previously classified documents on a dedicated webpage, and they paint a picture of an election system compromised by hostile foreign governments and shielded by internal cover-ups. The administration is using the disclosures to push for voter ID, proof of citizenship, and tighter controls on mail ballots.

For years, officials assured Americans that election infrastructure, electronic voting machines, ballot-counting systems, all of it, was secure. The documents released this week directly contradict that claim.

"We judge that U.S. adversaries, including at a minimum Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, as well as non-state groups, have the capability to compromise U.S. election infrastructure,” a declassified U.S. Intelligence Community assessment states. It also warned that "centralized election-related data repositories, such as voter registration databases, pollbooks, and official election websites, are most vulnerable to exploitation, and adversaries could use access to these systems to disrupt election processes."

The most alarming revelations include that the CIA reportedly obtained intelligence on a specific plot by the Maduro regime in Venezuela to digitally rig its own 2020 election, using methods designed to shift vote totals in ways that would survive an audit undetected. And starting around the 2020 cycle, China allegedly carried out that historic data heist, illicitly acquiring 220 million voter files containing names, addresses, phone numbers, and party affiliations, complete with a dedicated data exploitation unit assigned to the job.

And the worst part is that the Deep State inside U.S. intelligence agencies allegedly suppressed and downplayed the scale of China's theft, keeping it from the president and from the public. Spy agencies reportedly learned back in 2020 that tens of millions of voters' data across 18 states had been bought, stolen, or hacked by China.

Yet they sat on it.

Think it can’t get worse? The FBI files document large-scale voter registration fraud in Michigan, uncovered after state police raided a Democratic get-out-the-vote organization in Muskegon back in 2020 and referred the case to the FBI's Detroit office. Canvassers allegedly admitted to agents that they signed registration forms in other people's names, invented registrations for people who don't exist, and collected gift cards based on how many applications they churned out. FBI agents believed crimes had been committed. The Biden Department of Justice slow-walked the case for years. FBI Director Kash Patel has now been directed to make sure it's fully investigated and prosecuted.

Then there's the noncitizen problem.

A Department of Homeland Security review of state voter rolls found roughly 278,000 noncitizens registered to vote in federal elections, and officials believe the real number is far higher since some Democrat-led states refused to hand over their voter files.

Check out the site. Download the files. Review the evidence. Add it all up, you got hundreds of millions of voter files sitting in foreign hands, hackable voting machines, foreign meddling, fraud evidence that sat buried for years, and noncitizens and deceased voters still active on the rolls. All while U.S. elections continue without voter ID, without proof of citizenship, and without meaningful limits on mail ballots. Call me crazy, but that makes no sense.

Apologies to SSG Snuggle Bunny, as we (I) have hijacked this thread on a different tangent.

One more to add:

Hot Takes: Democrats Melt Down and Break Out the Talking Points After Trump Speech on Election Integrity

President Donald Trump's Thursday speech to the nation was short and compact. The new teleprompter person was a bit rusty, but he pulled it off without too many hiccups. As expected, the hiccups came from Democrats and the NeverTrumpers, who had already decided what the substance of the speech would be before Trump even uttered a word

The takeaways from the Democrats and the Left: Trump is a raving lunatic and is setting the stage to steal the 2026 midterms.

And they accuse Trump of being a conspiracy theorist?

Democrat Socialist Rep. Adelita Grijalva (AZ-07) teed it off, deciding five minutes into the speech that Trump was desperately trying to prop up his "dictator persona."

These are the DSA-types who want to rip apart the Constitution, abolish the presidency and the Electoral College. Sounds like that's more dictator-y than anything Trump was saying tonight.

Speaking of dictators, Gavin Newsom, the Governor King of California who is jonesing to be the 2028 Democrat nominee for president, was in Trump's mind and knows what he believes in: authoritarianism.

Then, from another account (he has five of them?), he called Trump's speech "the ramblings of a mad king," and claimed that Trump would rig 2026 to his benefit. Newsom encouraged everyone to "organize, show up, and vote!"

This is the same governor who stomped on the California constitution and a bipartisan redistricting committee which the voters chose, in order to redraw electoral maps to benefit Democrats. Now that President Trump is pushing election integrity, Newsom signed a law preventing any law enforcement, including federal election officials, from being able to access the voter rolls or voting technology without a court order.

As usual, Gavin is accusing someone else of what he is guilty of.

The Lincoln Project had this brilliant hot take.

The Lincoln Project
@ProjectLincoln

Donald Trump is declaring war on America's election officials

Same with Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), who also accused Trump of wanting to rig 2026.

Mark Warner
Senate Democrats
@MarkWarner

Well folks, as expected, Trump revealed essentially nothing new.

His speech was just lies & long-debunked conspiracies about the 2020 election.

This is all just a prelude to interfere in our midterms — don’t fall for it.

Then Warner went on CBS, which only aired the portion of the speech they felt was relevant, to claim he was embarrassed for the president and demanded "responsible journalists" to push back on it. Since CBS initially was not going to air the speech, I'm not sure they could be lumped into that "responsible journalist" category Warner is talking about.

MS NOW what is their name? Did the same thing: cut away from pertinent information in the speech when they didn't like the substance of it.

There was also a plethora of "I listened to the speech so you don't have to," takes. As a citizen of the United States, it would behoove you to listen to it for yourself and make your own judgments. But pompous sows like Lawrence O'Donnell only want you to absorb their impressions.

Lawrence O'Donnell
@Lawrence

I watched the whole thing so you didn’t have to.

It was a 25 minute deranged pitch for one piece of legislation that has no chance of passing.

@TheLastWord 10pm

And riddle me this: if Trump is intent on rigging the 2026 midterms, you would think Democrat senators like Mark Warner would be invested in helping to ensure he isn't able to do this by voting for the SAVE America Act, which would not only institute Voter ID in all federal elections, but put up safeguards to combat election fraud.

The soy boys and girls of The Bulwark also had their panties twisted all up in their short hairs. Graham Platner apologist Sarah Longwell just couldn't wait to twist a speech about resolving the undermining of American elections into a ploy to delegitimize American elections.

Sarah Longwell
@SarahLongwell25

Trump is really terrified that Democrats might have some oversight after the 2026 election, so he preemptively working to delegitimize America’s elections. That’s all this speech was. Undermining American elections. Outrageous.

"The View" harpy Ana Navarro decided to go with the madman angle, and even attempted a diarrhea joke. 

Ana Navarro-Cárdenas
@ananavarro

What a non-sensical prime time address or whatever that was. The rantings of a mad-man.

Dude must have consumed contaminated lettuce. But it affected the wrong orifice. He has explosive diarrhea of the mouth.

But the grand prize reaction probably comes from the failed former Vice President Kamala Harris, who wouldn't know election integrity if it served her a Ketel One. Harris claimed that the SAVE America Act is voter suppression, and that Trump is "attempting to distract from reality."

Kamala Harris
@KamalaHarris

Replying to @KamalaHarris
The SAVE Act is voter suppression.

It is part of a larger agenda of conservatives trying to steal power from the people.

Someone who blew $1.5 billion only to lose an election is not exactly in touch with reality.

Just saying...
