The Urgent Need To Secure American Election
RealClear Politics ^ | By Brian Kennedy June 04, 2026 | Brian Kennedy

If there is a single idea that President Donald Trump holds with conviction, it is that the 2020 election was stolen. Millions of Americans agree with him. How it was stolen, and by whom, is still being investigated six years later. That is a problem, because another national election arrives this fall, and Americans deserve an answer as to whether the way we now conduct elections can actually produce honest results.

Normal legislative remedies have failed. Congress has not passed the SAVE Act to ensure that only citizens vote, nor does it appear likely they will. It has done nothing about mass mail-in balloting or the vulnerabilities of electronic voting systems. Yet these are precisely the parts of the system that millions of Americans no longer trust – and for good reason.

Consider what happened this past April. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell summoned the chief executives of America’s largest banks to an unannounced meeting, alarmed by a new artificial-intelligence model capable of finding and exploiting security flaws faster than any human defender could patch them. If the men charged with protecting the nation’s financial system feel compelled to convene Wall Street on short notice over what artificial intelligence now makes possible, our election systems – built with similar computer technology and but with far less security – are open to the same threat and worse.

Our Electronic Voting Systems

For most of American history, Americans voted on paper ballots, counted by human beings, watched by other human beings. Electronic voting promised speed and accuracy. What it delivered is elections that take weeks instead of a day, accuracy that is openly in doubt, and a counting process that has lost the transparency a republic requires. Citing proprietary software, the major vendors have become black boxes...

DJT and his team had & has the California voter fraud in their crosshairs waiting for this election. The dirtbag politicians in CA involved in the voter fraud for decades should have known they would be investigated and looked at under a microscope during this primary. When DJT says “We Have It All,” he wasn’t bullshitting anyone. The DJT team knows how the CA RATs have been cheating in CA for decades. What is going on right now is the trap being slammed shut on CA RATs. It’s painful to watch, however, the voter fraud perpetrators will be exposed. DJT said CA is RED and he has the proof.

These two EOs will send many nationwide to prison and/or GITMO (or some other black prison) for tribunals. Their assets will be seized as well. NewSCUM is up to his eyeballs with the CCP BTW.

GIVING POWER BACK TO THE PEOPLE

President Trump inaugural speech in DC 2017

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZytaTi1UfiQ

Comments below the video:

“One military member from each branch file behind President Trump. God bless our President Trump and military ✝️🙏❤️ “

“I have heard but cannot confirm that it was a sign that our Republic has been restored ... we wait to see. Read up on what happened in 1871 surrounding DC.”

“The importance of this clip is unimaginable for most people. Not sure if what is happening will ever be made public. WWG1WGA indeed . God bless you Q team.”

“President of the Country, not the corporation, incoming.”

More to make yourselves aware of:

Military tribunals for treason are specialized military courts established to address serious offenses against national security, particularly during crises or wartime. These tribunals are distinct from conventional civilian courts and courts-martial.
Key Features

Judicial Authority: Military officers serve as both judges and jurors, overseeing the proceedings.

Scope of Jurisdiction: These tribunals primarily handle cases involving treason and other national security threats, especially when conventional courts are deemed inadequate.

Operational Context: They are activated during periods of declared war or national emergency,

Military tribunals have a long history in the United States, used during significant conflicts such as the Civil War and World War II. They have been controversial, particularly regarding their application to civilians, as they operate under different legal standards than civilian courts.

In summary, military tribunals for treason during Continuity of Government are crucial for maintaining national security during emergencies, ensuring that serious offenses are addressed swiftly and effectively.

Ask around and see how many military JAGs have been recalled recently! My neighbor’s old boss was just recalled.

I wrote this soon after the debacle of 2000.

The most advanced electronics involved in counting ballots should be simple logic gates, counters, optical sensors, and seven segment displays, incapable of software.

The Diebold system uses Microsoft Access as a database (appropriate choice, don't you think?). When the Diebold system was first audited for security, one reviewer reported in Wired Magazine that the operating system was so open to manipulation that, "It's not just a bug, it's a feature."

According to election industry officials, electronic voting systems are absolutely secure, because they are protected by passwords and tamperproof audit logs. But the passwords can easily be bypassed, and in fact the audit logs can be altered. Worse, the votes can be changed without anyone knowing, even the County Election Supervisor who runs the election system.

Source article for this quote.

If they insist on electronic voting systems, the firmware/software should be open source and the log files public record.

Get rid of the corruptible voting machines and go back to paper ballots.

Government-issued Photo ID to vote.

No ballots “found” after voting day will be counted.

C’mon America, you can put men on the Moon but you can’t run a cheat-free election? Seriously??

Just kidding! I get your point, but I remain skeptical. The Swamp is indeed very deep, very wide, and filled with the most odious vermin ever to crawl on the face of the earth.

I believe the 2020 election was stolen because the alternative, that Biden won fair and square, is worse.

If the USA cannot have fair elections, an all-out revolution by the people is the only solution. There is no playing nice with those who have to cheat to win elections. They have to face deadly consequences and be destroyed.

Attempting to pass Obamacare, the US Senate didn’t have the requisite 60 votes needed to pass, only 59.
They wanted this legislation so urgently that they lied to the American people and declared that they “DEEMED” that the bill passed, and went forward with implementing the ACA, or the American Care Act.

If the Legislative branch of our government can blatantly flout their own rules to achieve a desired goal, then so can the Executive branch.

Each branch of our government is supposed to be separate and has equal authority.

President Trump should declare that he “DEEMS” the Save Act as having passed, and then vigorously begin enforcing its provisions.

When the Uniparty, RINOs and the communists object, the President can remind them of the origins of the ACA in the US Senate, and let everybody know that if they want him to stop enforcing the SAVE ACT, they’ll have to admit that the ACA was bogus from Day One, and agree to completely dismantle Obamacare, otherwise the SAVE ACT remains the Law of the Land.

It will end up in SCOTUS, and the Nine Robes will have to face the truth of our Double Standard in Law.

Either the SAVE ACT becomes de facto law, or the ACA dies an honest and painful death (for democrats and Obama).

I list this option under “….Things we would like to see….”

“How it was stolen, and by whom, is still being investigated six years later.”

Moronic author.

How - fake “mail in” ballots.

Whom - The DNC Corruption Machine.

I’ll send him a bill.

The Swamp gets cleaned out or we can, collectively, bend over and kiss our rears goodbye as well as the future for our children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and, thus, forever.

This operation started many years ago by patriots in our military.

I prefer NO firmware or software. No memory of any kind.

All attempts to restore confidence in our elections has been denied. There’s only one conclusion to be drawn from that fact.

Participation implies legitimacy.

So do I. I was mainly just pointing out that proprietary black-box firmware/software/logs that are “secret” are “secret” so they can cheat.

Nobody is going to GITMO, and there won’t be any “tribunals” for US citizens.

Trump can make all the EO’s he wants, and they still won’t provide any legal jurisdiction to arrest or prosecute anyone.

Same “patriots” Sidney Powell said were Green Berets and involved in a firefight at a voting center in Germany?
