Trump is going on TV tonight to profess elections are rigged and to promote the SAVE Act.

  1. Trump’s Historic Win- Not Really- Lowest of Popular Vote in Years
    1. Trump -2024- 49.87%
    2. Biden- 2020-51.3%
    3. Obama-2012- 51.5%
    4. George W. Bush -2004- 50.7%
    5. George H. Bush- 1998- 53.2%
    6. Ronald Regan- 1984- 58.8%
    7. Ronald Regan in 1980- 50.7%
    8. Jimmy Carter- 1976-50.1%
  2. Trump Lost the Popular Vote in 2016 and 2020.
    • Trump lost the 2016 popular vote by 2.86 million votes and by 6.97 million votes in 2020. We are not talking about 12,000 votes in Georgia. He got elected in 2016 by the electoral college, not popular votes. In 2017- voting fraud was less than .0009% of all ballots cast. However, Trump continues to claim there is fraud- in October 2024, he said in Virginia 500,000 applications made were false…upon inspection no fraud. Every mail ballot is verified for eligibility after it is returned by the voter. He won the popular vote in 2024 by 2.48 million votes but he continues to try and find ways to do voter suppression because he is apparently feels he can not win fairly.
  3. Current Laws Make it Illegal to vote for Non-US Citizens
    1. Federal law already clearly states that it is illegal for non-U.S. citizens to register to vote or cast a ballot in federal elections. It’s an existing crime that is punishable by up to five years in prison.
    2. Election officials also already use state and federal data—including citizenship data from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration—to verify an individual’s eligibility to cast a ballot.
    3. There are already documentation requirements to be able to register to vote. As required by federal law, Americans must provide either the last four digits of their Social Security number or their driver’s license number on a voter registration application in order to provide election officials with the necessary information to verify their identity and voting eligibility.
  4. The SAVE Act will restrict voters and it is already illegal for non-US citizens to vote.
    1. Key Provisions of the SAVE America Act (2026)
    2. Documentary Proof of Citizenship: Individuals must provide specific documentation -passport- cost of $165, birth certificate, or REAL ID-compliant ID) showing U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.
      1. Married Women. Around 80% of American women change their name upon marriage. As a result, roughly 33% of all married women lack documents that meet citizenship requirements and reflect their current legal name. Married women make up over a quarter of the electorate, so impeding them from registering to vote has a potentially significant impact on election outcomes.
    3. Photo ID Requirement: Voters must present a valid, government-issued photo ID to vote in person.
      • Elderly registrants. In 2020, 14.10% of survey respondents 80 years old and older reported that they lack access to documents proving citizenship. In 2022, older voters (defined as age 65+) were 28% of the electorate.
      • Young voters. In the same study, 24.34% of 18-29 year olds reported that they lacked documentation. State-level data matched that finding. Young Texans aged 18-29 are three times more likely to have trouble accessing their documentary proof of citizenship than older Texans (13% vs. 5%). Georgians aged 18-29 are twice as likely to lack access to documents than those 30 or older (16% vs 8%).
      • Lower-income voters. In Texas and Georgia, voters making less than $50,000 per year are less likely to possess identity documents than their higher-income peers. Voters making less than $30,000 per year are even less likely to have required documents.
  1. Mail-In Ballot Restrictions: Applicants for mail-in ballots must submit a copy of their citizenship document, and some interpretations suggest in-person presentation of documents may be required even for mail-in registration.
  2. Voter Roll Maintenance: States are required to establish programs to identify and remove non-citizens from existing voter registration records using Department of Homeland Security data.
  3. Penalties for Officials: The Act introduces criminal penalties for election officials who fail to enforce the strict documentation requirements.
  4. Alternative Citizenship Process: States must create an alternative, albeit strict, process for individuals who cannot immediately provide documentary proof.
  1. There is not enough time to change election laws before the midterms.
  2. Additionally, a federal judge ruled that Trump can not use the USPS postal service to act as an election gatekeeper deciding who and would not they would deliver ballots to.
  3. Also, the Supreme Court on July 3 ruled in a Mississippi case that allowed mail in ballots to be counted if they are postmarked on or before Election day and received by election officials within five days of the polls closing. Mail-in balloting appears to be saved in general and neither party have gained an advantage from mail in voting. Keep in mind that Trump voted by mail in the last election in which he voted.
  4. And, in Boston a federal court declared unlawful Trumps desire to have Homeland Security compile a list of US citizens and direct the US Postal Service to restrict mail in voting. This is in addition to the above Supreme Court Ruling.

What We Could Find About Russian, Iran and China’s Involvement in Elections

We have no evidence—not through intelligence collection on the foreign actors themselves, not
through physical security and cybersecurity monitoring of voting systems across the country, not
through post-election audits, and not through any other means—that a foreign government or
other actors compromised election infrastructure to manipulate election results.
