Many have asked for my opinion and prediction on the upcoming midterm election. One of the reasons I have been hesitant to advance an opinion is simply because this election comes down to a fundamental question that is challenging to discuss with a wider audience. That issue surrounds “pretense” or “pretending.”
The Trump administration has been trying to advance election integrity issues that target the structural “pretending” that underpins all election fraud. The political left pretends not to know that elections are manipulated, yet for years they have advanced structural policy and lawfare to facilitate pretending. Make no mistake ‘pretending’ is a strategy -a purposeful strategy- that underpins all election manipulation.
Example using motor-voter registration systems: When the option on a DMV system contains a singular checkbox that says “I am eligible to vote in federal elections” with no option to say, “I am not eligible to vote in federal elections,” the singular affirmative check box if left blank can be then coded to transfer the physical ID to the state registrar’s office under the pretending guise of benefit of doubt. The pretense is the person just forgot to check the box – plausible deniability is constructed.
A singular checkbox is an indicator of plausible pretense that constructs the federal fraud intent. An identity system with two check boxes, one saying “yes, I am” the other saying “no, I am not” eliminates the plausible doubt (pretense). Every blue state who uses the ID or License system to generate ballots use the singular check box.
The Trump administration through DHS/ICE have been targeting illegal aliens who voted in elections for deportation proceedings. This is ultimately a warning spread by word of mouth within the illegal alien community. At the same time, there have been numerous examples of illegal aliens who swear it wasn’t them who filled out the ballot; however, the voting is a criminal act, the voter registration is unlawful, and the illegal alien is deported.
The blue states are protecting their voter registration files from federal review in part because they are protecting illegal aliens who have voted and/or registered to vote. Keep in mind from the above example, the illegal alien who went to get a state ID card my not have wanted to register to vote, but the officials who construct the system register them anyway because they want to generate the ballot opportunity (potentially filled out by others).
If states use the fraudulent registration to generate ballots, and then the ballots are used in the election by political harvesters, DHS/ICE have a federal law violation against the illegal alien to ‘further’ justify the deportation.
Illegal aliens are aware of this issue as a consequence of removal proceedings discussed within their community over the past year+.
Illegal aliens who do not want to appear on the DHS/ICE radar, do not vote in elections. However, that doesn’t mean a ballot wasn’t purposefully created, transmitted and filled out -with their personage as the identity- without their knowledge.
With leftists increasingly desperate to influence the election outcomes, the illegal alien ballots turn the alien into cannon fodder. The leftists don’t care what happens to the alien after the purposeful exploit of their identity has been accomplished. Illegal aliens are also very aware of this issue.
That said, the non-pretending reality of this situation rises to the surface within the issue of the Trump administration notifying the State of California of a specific list of 20,000 register voters who are unlawfully on the voter rolls. The administration has warned the state they are on notice of the fraudulent registration and if any of those names vote in the election the state and/or county officials can be held liable for violating federal election law.
The issue ended up in court where California state officials are fighting the Trump administration. Within the arguments the state officials informed the court they have no process to curate and/or cull votes once the voter registration is submitted.
According to state officials, regardless of whether the voter registration is legally compliant or not, once the voter registration takes place the state has no process to stop the voter or sequester the voter ballot from the final tally.
Obviously, when you understand how the motor-voter system has been manipulated [GO DEEP], you can understand the next level of pretending needed by the state officials in order to avoid accountability.
Instead of addressing that issue, the activist judge said yesterday he was going to appoint a “special master” to review how the DOJ developed the list of 20,000 names. Instead of holding the state officials accountable for a system of fraudulent voters, the judge is going to target the DOJ officials who identified the issue.
CALIFORNIA – […] The federal district judge overseeing the Justice Department’s lawsuit asking California to segregate roughly 20,000 ballot belonging to individuals it claims are “likely” noncitizens appeared skeptical of the DOJ’s efforts to seek emergency action just a week from the state’s election.
U.S. District Judge David O. Carter said in court Tuesday he intends to appoint a special master to probe DOJ’s process that led it to compile the list of alleged 20,000 likely non-citizens, dealing a setback to the Trump administration’s attempt to quickly intervene in the election.
Judge Carter did not rule by the conclusion of the hearing on the DOJ request for a temporary restraining order against the state, though he appeared skeptical of the department’s late-stage attempt to force what he described as a “monumental change” in California’s ongoing administration of its election.

It is fair to say that given the demonstrable scale of illegal voting, if unlawful registrations and illegal alien voters were removed from their ability to influence the election outcome, roughly half of the current Democrats in congress would lose their seats. That’s the scale of illegal alien voting, direct or indirect, inside the system.
[New Jersey – Pennsylvania – California examples.]
So, the question is…. For this 2026 midterm election, which pressure mechanism is stronger: (1) the threat by President Trump, DHS and ICE to deport illegal voters which may stop a significant number of illegal ballots; or (2) the severity of desperation within the leftist democrat apparatus to push illegal ballots into the harvesting machinery.
All fraudulent election activity rests on a foundation of pretending. The democrats pretend not to know how the structural design of the system facilitates fraud; while the republican wing of the UniParty pretends they don’t know about the structural design of the system that facilitates fraud.
A non-pretending Trump administration has to battle both groups with the army of MAGA/INDY voters behind him.
….and then the election is contested…then Lawfare engages…then its too late

It hard to get election integrity when the whole Democratic appointed liberal judiciary, many foreign born, is protecting illegal voters.
Clinton Judge Issues Warning to DOJ During Hearing on Effort to Force California to Remove 20,000 Ballots Mailed to Non-Citizens – GWP
“Under 18 U.S.C. §§ 611 and 2, officials who knowingly tabulate unlawful ballots risk aiding and abetting a federal offense. The Justice Department urges the County and the Secretary of State to temporarily segregate the flagged ballots pending citizenship verification or face legal consequences,” Bill Essayli said.

Odd how that is a threat, but not what Senator Kelly or Senator Slotkin said is not a threat.
Bill Essayli stated a law. Kelly and Slotkin did not, they just made threats.
Here is what happens when you go against the leftist judges:
The same Bill Essayli mentioned above.
Judge Disqualifies Trump Appointee Bill Essayli as First Assistant US Attorney in California
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/10/breaking-judge-disqualifies-trump-appointee-bill-essayli-as/
US District Judge John Seabright, a George W. Bush appointee, ruled that Bill Essayli unlawfully overstayed his 120-day temporary appointment.
Bill Essayli is a staunch Trump supporter who has been aggressively investigating and prosecuting illegal aliens and criminals.
Essayli has been serving as the top prosecutor in the Central District of California, and he has been highly effective in carrying out President Trump’s ‘law and order’ agenda (he was in court today fighting California on the 20,000 ballots mailed to non-citizens).
Disgusting.
Thank God for President Trump! He is doing his best to stop the lying,cheating democrats from destroying our republic.
With the election integrity issues coming to a boil, a sane person may think that the leftists who disregard the integrity would tamp down and only bring the pot to simmer. But no, they’re putting all burners on high.
The biggest lie is they vote but don’t affect elections because only a few thousand have now been caught. We all know the ones caught so far are only a tip of the iceberg, and even a few votes can tip a close elections.
See my post from 7:02 am….
To me, it looks like an issue regarding a manner of back door delivery of “foreign aid”?
Declare a national emergency and force ballot validation by certification of citizenship. Our backs are literally against the wall and this is not a time for passivity. We either use the laws available to survive, or risk an our lives and fortunes, and futures.
One problem…the black robed activists keep looking to screw us by twisting the law and words.
They have a plan for that. Declare the federal government illegitimate & then…

Thank you Sundance! Now do NY etc…seems so many blue collars being laid off and our unenjoyment will purge and reboot the system for the next 2-3 weeks.
My question is, “Immigrant can obtain ID?”
“immigrants can obtain identification in the United States, though eligibility for a REAL ID depends on their legal status.
To fly domestically or enter federal facilities after the May 7, 2025 deadline, individuals must present a REAL ID-compliant license or another federally accepted ID, such as an unexpired foreign passport.
Eligibility for REAL ID
Non-citizens with current legal presence in the U.S. are eligible for a REAL ID. This includes:
-Lawful permanent residents (Green Card holders)
-Recipients of DACA or TPS
-Individuals with valid visas (e.g., F-1, H-1B)
-Asylees or refugees.
Options for Undocumented Immigrants
Undocumented immigrants cannot obtain a REAL ID because they lack proof of lawful U.S. residency.
However, they may obtain non-compliant state IDs or driver’s licenses in many states, which cannot be used for federal purposes.
Common alternatives include:
-State-issued IDs/Licenses:
States like Illinois (standard license), California (AB 1766), and Wisconsin allow undocumented residents to get state IDs or licenses that are not REAL ID compliant.
-Consular IDs: Countries like Mexico issue Matrícula Consular cards, which are widely accepted for banking and local services but are not federal IDs.
-Municipal IDs: Cities like New York City (IDNYC) offer free government-issued photo IDs to all residents regardless of immigration status.”

I have been disgusted with the “real ID” since the get go. My driver’s license used to be a real ID until every illegal on the planet got one.
But it seems to be the way to avoid, or at least, diminish the number of illegal aliens getting driver’s license.
When I went to renew my DL the new one came with the star of Real ID. That was in GA about six years ago.
Panama has a detailed system…the ‘cedula’…its fairly detailed but here are snippets…
“The Panamanian cédula is the official national identification card issued by the Tribunal Electoral (Civil Registry), serving as the primary proof of identity for daily life in Panama, including banking, healthcare, and signing contracts”…with strict rules for foreigners…one of which
Oh…and it cost $75 US dollars…LOL…The American dollar…still reigns supreme.
Citizens vs. Foreigners: Panamanian citizens receive a standard Cédula N (National), while foreign permanent residents are issued an E-cédula (Extranjería), which features a blue “E” to denote foreign status.Eligibility: Foreigners can only apply for an E-cédula after their permanent residency is approved by the National Immigration Service (SNM) and they have received their residency card.Application Process: Applicants must visit a Tribunal Electoral office in person for an appointment to provide biometrics (photo, fingerprints) and pay the fee (approximately $75 USD for renewal).
A REAL ID is not required to vote in any state. However, some states may accept it as a valid form of identification if they require a photo ID for voting. – https://voteriders.org/what-is-real-id/
Automatic voter registration
Automatic voter registration occurs when eligible individuals are registered to vote while applying for or renewing their driver’s license at the DMV, unless they choose to opt out. As of October 2026, 24 states and the District of Columbia have implemented this system.
How non-citizens are getting voter registration forms across the US — and how Republicans are trying to stop it
https://nypost.com/2024/06/14/us-news/how-non-citizens-are-getting-voter-registration-forms-across-the-us-and-how-republicans-are-trying-to-stop-it/
Illegals are automatically registered if they do not check the opt out box.
Welfare offices and other agencies in at least 46 US states are providing voter registration forms to migrants without requiring proof of citizenship, leading Republicans and conservatives to call for swift federal action to stop the handouts.
Every state but North Dakota, New Hampshire, Wisconsin and Wyoming gives applicants for either welfare benefits, driver’s licenses, or in some cases, mail-in ballots federal voter registration forms without demanding proof of citizenship.
It’s no wondercat all why Democrats and Rinos scream so loudly and long when election fraud to brought up. It’s what they’ve institutionally created and must defend to survive. Media, courts, pundits backstop them 100%.
Without this entire system of voter fraud there couldn’t be the late night cheating where counting is suspended, GOP poll watchers kicked out, trucks full of new found ballots pull up to have them counted once again at 3am and presto, the significant Republican lead becomes a clear Democrat shift.
One other thing, polling is scientifically accurate as long as a non biased sample is pulled for the calculations. When the sample is purposely manipulated to a desired (Democrat) result then the Media can rage on about the impending blue way to damp down Republican enthusiasm and turnout.
We are all supposed to pretend,
that the electronic voting machines and the false polls (to keep races tight) would never use all those fraudulent illegal voter names in their late count ballot dumps.
We are all supposed to pretend that electronic vote systems cannot provide an outcome within an hour or two of polls closing.
We are supposed to ignore that our entire political and judicial system is broken beyond repair by corruption of the vote, the politicians and the judges.
The media ignores all the blatant hypocrisy of the pretending and never reports or investigates anything adverse to progressives (communists),
Mad yet?
“It is fair to say that given the demonstrable scale of illegal voting, if unlawful registrations and illegal alien voters were removed from their ability to influence the election outcome, roughly half of the current Democrats in congress would lose their seats.”
Aside from the congress critters, who need a pay cut anyways….they need to feel our pain, big time….
…this could also be twisted into an idea of routing more ‘foreign aide delivered anonymously and domestically’ and fraudulently…
…because, lets face it….
Illegals or ‘undocumented’ voters all vote for the ‘freebies’ they are gonna get.
Pretty much everyone in California knows the elections are rigged and have been for a long time.
I hope the threat of deportation, etc., is enough to stop illegals from voting.
I hope the corruption and law enforcement on officials who have aided and abetted is enough to stop the hired lawfare guns.
We shall see.
The democrat/Communists do not care about people. We are all cannon fodder.
We are here for them to abuse. And if you fight back, they will kill you.
The irony, all those illegals will eventually suffer the same consequences because at some point, they will be considered “useless eaters”.
Amen.
When we find ourselves in the company of a useful idiot who state over and over again there is and has not been meaningful voter fraud remember these facts.
You are dealing with an absolute moron, a dimwit at best .
Worst case scenario the person is a dishonest ,untrustworthy , whose a what’s in it for me creep pretending to be standing on the moral high ground.
They will screw you or anyone in their way in an instant in a bat of an eye.
For your sanity treat them accordingly.
I know it hard to accept since they are our friends ,relatives and neighbors.
The sooner you remove them from you life the better for your wellbeing.
I know from experience.
Ive been doing this in my life gradually.
Its been hard at times but in time I have actually forgotten about them and can honestly say it has been a net positive .
JimS, yes its hard…and it creates a life of loneliness…but its a deciding of what one is willing to tolerate.

A lot of these attempts to stop voter fraud now is like closing the barn door after the horse is out.
None of this mess will get cleaned up until some of these judges start having accidents.
The judge just ran out the clock without making a ruling by appointing a special master.
Makes one wonder why they have personal security and that their homes are well guarded/s.
Most citizens “Want to be left alone”….
“Alexandr Solzhenitsyn > Quotes > Quotable Quote
(?)
“The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of men who wanted to be left alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over.
The moment the men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the men who just wanted to be left alone.”― Alexandr Solzhenitsyn

In New York state, the first question asked at the DMV is whether you are registered to vote. This is not a mischaracterization. Happened on consecutive days to me when attempting to rectify the sale process of vehicle.
What else would you expect from a state so corrupt that they passed the Nick Shirley Act?
“ For this 2026 midterm election, which pressure mechanism is stronger: (1) the threat by President Trump, DHS and ICE to deport illegal voters which may stop a significant number of illegal ballots; or (2) the severity of desperation within the leftist democrat apparatus to push illegal ballots into the harvesting machinery.”
Obviously, #2 wins hands down. Trump’s weak attempts to clean up the elections have no teeth, no consequences, and nobody will ever be held accountable.
Looking around the world, it is difficult to find ANY election which is demonstrably fair and honest.
Since the apple in the garden episode, man usually errs on the way of the devil.
Very well put, Sundance. It’s such a show. Saw a tweet this morning how the republicans moved mountains to expel George Santos from congress, yet Omar sits with zero accountability. GOPe pretends to be outraged. It’s maddening. To suggest Brazil was valid when judge at 5:01 makes a decision which give Luna a 2200% advantage and then pretends all is legit, LA primary with 30 days to “count votes”, the madness is over and over and over again. Pretending = never a smoking gun. Never a whistle blower.
