Can Pres. Trump Beat The Cheat?
American Thinker ^ | 10 Nov, 2026 | Paul Dowling

Posted on 11/10/2026 4:16:46 AM PST by MtnClimber

Serious suspicions have arisen about the validity of the 2026 election: “Was this a 2020 rigged election all over again? For millions of everyday Americans who put their faith in the ballot box, that is not a wild conspiracy theory; it is the screaming, unaddressed elephant in the room. How are we supposed to look at sudden, unexplained shifts in long-standing conservative strongholds and swallow the official narrative without choking?”

The Democrats appear to have flipped dozens of congressional seats in the midterms, with many states shifting hard to the political left -- news that is almost too good to be true for America’s party of Socialism and Jihadism, especially after the 2024 repudiation of Biden/Harris policies, which were nowhere near as extreme as those proposed by the current slate of Democrat politicos.

In the last three Texas gubernatorial elections, Republican Greg Abbott received around 4.5 million votes. The Democrat candidate could only muster around 3.5 million ballots statewide, until this year’s jump to 5.2 million! An estimated 9.9 million ballots were cast in the 2026 Texas midterm election, compared to 8.1 million in the 2022 midterms, an increase of 1.8 million. The result was an electoral sweep by the Democrats of all statewide offices. A recent Truth Social post by Trump suggests there was fraud. In response to Trump’s post, Kupe Paul on X wrote, “We cracked their cheating algorithm. 85/15 algorithm... for every 1000 Trump votes (most likely during early voting when Dems front-loaded everything) 150 switched to Dems. It’s the same pattern in every state that went blue.”

As Democrats take victory laps, three things are in place to safeguard the integrity of the 2026 midterms: 1) Executive Order 13848, empowering the Director of National Intelligence to assess foreign interference within forty-five days of a federal election;

the other explanation is that they got their illegals to vote.

trump has only expelled a small fraction of the illegals that biden brought into the country.

You are not paying attention.

2020 - R 4.4 Mil D 3.3 Mil
2022 - R 4.3 Mil D 3.4 Mil
2024 - R 4.6 Mil D 3.5 Mil
2026 - R 4.5 Mil D 5.2 Mil

All of the B.S. people are writing about how Rs "lost young men" or "it's the economy" or ANY OTHER REASON ESPOUSED is B.S. pure and simple.

The numbers DO NOT reflect any "loss" of votes on the R side, only a tremendous gain in votes on the D side.

Now what has happened to INCREASE the D votes in Texas (and across the country) lately, hmmm?

Maybe a shit-ton of illegal aliens being escorted across the border, given IDs and registered to vote?

Your math does not math. The GOP got basically the exact same amount of votes they did in 2022 midterm election. The Dems got less votes than they did in the 2024 general election but more than 2022.

It’s not really who republicans voted for that killed us. Independents broke heavily to the democrats.

There weren’t more votes than (whatever claim people want to make). Harris received 75 million votes in 2024. 2026 was less than that for the dems. It’s a false narrative people are telling themselves to feel better.

To: Tell It Right
What happened is independents turned out and voted against Republicans.

In Maricopa County the Republican Committee chair was whining about how it had to be fraud because 80% of independents voted against Republicans, when normally 60% do.

Republicans basically can't pull votes from anyone who is not white male over the age of 45 or white married women.

Not really. The report on election fraud is due to the President on Dec. 18th. Did you read the article.? It’s very well written and makes a lot of sense.

“There were more dem votes added than there were newly added residents.”

Texas has 19 million registered voters only 9.8 showed up to vote we added like 2 million to our population since 2020 because Texas has become THE state to do business in. Well it was until Gina tears all that down.

I can tell you based on actually talking and listening to fellow Texans a lot of GenX sat this one out Abbott was hated for his H1B treason and Paxton could not have been a worse choice he is corrupt and seen as a pedo enabler regardless of it was the local DA who cut the sweet heart deal because the boys parents didn’t want him to testify again after hung jury. The stink stuck to Paxton.

Add in if you had listened for a single moment to anyone especially Texas women under 30 you would know they were fired up over the abortion ban it’s a day one issue , the incoming gov and new AG both are already tearing down that ban. Many college aged makes also said they would crawl over broken glass to vote D because they too hated the abortion ban, add in the massively as in 70% of Texas voters didn’t want a total THC ban either and you had the 30 and under block locked up and they out number boomers 2:1 and with us GenX it jumps to 3:1

Texas lost the youth vote and it cost them at the polls again we have 19 million registered voters only 9.8 showed up to vote had 2-3 million got off their butts things would have been different. At least crap band will be the first to go if the Texas Senate wants to keep their jobs they damn well better read the room and act in favor of trashing the THC ban that Dan said go ahead and vote me out over well Dan you got your butt handed too you. And if the gop ever wants the youth vote back they need to step back from the total abortion ban that’s a losing issue only boomers care about sorry not Fing sorry y’all lost the culture war learn from it and sit this one out, we need Brandon Gills not crusty old folks to win in Texas.

No, no, no! I have been assured by many Freepers that Republicans suck and this was the most secure election EVER! It’s all Trump’s fault and he was mean to illegal aliens. Ask most Freepers and they’ll tell you there was NO ELECTION FRAUD!

Most Americans don’t put their faith in the ballot box because they don’t go anywhere near one. The ballot box has been replaced by the mail box. The nice thing about a ballot box is that it is secure. With a mail box you have to believe that someone else is going to put your ballot in a ballot box without losing it or otherwise neglecting it.

Precisely why I won’t bother ever voting again. As many FReepers have said, we ain’t voting our way out of this.

Certainly the poster should have supplied the link. That said you can simply ask AI the same question and it will give you the same answer and it’ll give you a source.

The data is common knowledge and it is correct.

Yes there are a lot of new-comers (usually leftists from the west coast) and illegals here in Texas. But 1.8 million in the last two years? Not bloody likely.

The left has just about perfected the art of the ‘cheat’ and are laughing it up because they know the spineless Rs will do nothing significant to correct things.

Reading the posts on this thread it seems like about half the posters don’t think there is an election integrity problem.

Never mind that there’s a voter ID problem in many locations. Never mind that there is a chain of custody problem with mail in ballots and dropboxes. Never mind that the software on the machines is proprietary and you cannot see actually what happens to your vote after you cast it.

Never mind that we just had 25 million illegal aliens escorted into this country using a government supplied app. What happened to all that data? What was it used for? Did these folks automatically get registered? Did these folks vote? Did somebody vote for these folks?

I could go on.

Where the point now where the opposition to the communist/muslim authoritarian Democrat party has become brainwashed and can’t think through and question the latest big media talking points. Instead, they recite all their narratives.

I’ve never seen it so bad. It doesn’t bode well for the future.

Exactly. And ask them to prove there is no election fraud and of course they can’t. The system wasn’t designed to prove the integrity of the results. The system was designed to hide the lack of integrity of the results.

The fact is that young men are not motivated to vote.

But once they are registered that vote becomes fair game for any one that chooses to vote for them.

If they never vote in person, they never know (or care) that someone voted for them.

It creates a pool of potential voters to dip into, and pretend that they were highly motivated.

DSA just voted for them, in their place.

Same as “curing” a ballot.

Their loss, if significant, would be reflected in a loss of vote total on the R side.

This.

But nobody here wanted to hear it when you pointed out that MAGA had a large number of non-Republican voters who voted for DJT, and that this war against Iran would cost the party their votes.

There probably was some fraud—but what we know for certain is that the administration will not indict and convict any significant person for it.

That is their track record.
