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.

I live in CA. Yes, I know self-abuse, but family ties and being older this CA native just can’t move.
That said, we moved inside CA in 2018 and had to go to the DMV to change address. Yes there is only a box to check your are eligible to vote. Since everyone with a CA DL is registered to vote, how do the ballot harvesters get their hands on the ballots to do the voting for the registered, albeit illegal, voters.
Maybe Sundance can explain. I know it is happening, just not how.
Ballot harvesting is legal in California. Workers from leftist NGOs, many supported by tax payer money, simply go to neighborhoods where the demographics fit the right profile. They put on an official-looking badge, and go door to door asking for ballots. They probably tell people one of three things: either “I can drop that ballot off for you. Save you the trip”. Or they tell people they can lawfully get rid of the ballot for them. Protect them from ICE. And of course, some harvestors will just swap a five dollar bill for that ballot(s).
I’ll hazard a guess. Think it relies upon knowing apx # of dmv no-box-checked registrations, with # of actual registered voters? Then the CA bureaucrats (read liberal Dems) know about how many fraudulent registered DMV voters they can safely ballot harvest. The numbers get passed onto their foot soldiers to generate fake voters. Then masses of ballots mailed to fake addresses and collected by other agents. These get filled out and returned to be counted.
Another possibility: inside job. The liberal Dem bureaucrats manipulate the vote tallies.
Think they just need state records to show X amount of “registered” voters (a # heavily padded by the pretend/unchecked dmv registrations). This X amount then can be safely manufactured fraudulent in multiple ways. No one system of fraud ballots creation gets used. It must be done in ways to not be obvious.
Some counties are blue strongholds, where it’s safer to literally manipulate the numbers internally, churn out certain % of actual fake ballots over the weeks after Election Day, or other ways to massage the votes. It’s that “pretend to not know” scenario described by Sundance.
Here in CA we’ve not had actual fair elections in decades. The Motor Voter push was big thing in my college days in 80s. Dems saw it as the Holy Grail to achieve absolute control of the state.
This is how. Illegals, homeless, drifters, students and other transients are very likely to change addresses frequently but very unlikely to be diligent about changing their addresses at the board of elections. That puts hundreds or thousands (or more) live ballots out there where they can be scooped up. I would not be surprised if unionized (dem friendly) postal workers are not helping to gather big batches of ballots.

Dems don’t just “harvest” their fraudulent ballots. They seed them, water and fertilize them.
Yeah. We owned an RV park in the Texas oilfield. The mail after someone has moved on piles up. I could have easily cast 20 votes in the last election we were there with precious little chance of getting caught. If someone doesn’t do a forwarding address, what are the chances they will vote?
It’s not only the party leaders, rank and file Democrat voters pretend as well, even though everybody knows they are committing massive fraud (unless they are retarded).
Special master doesn’t sound Orwellian at all

Horrible news.
That P OS should have been removed from his lofty perch decades ago.
This will have to go to SCOUS, although that’s probably not gonna have a bit of difference with Roberts and the other traitors still there . .
Laughable that they still believe we buy their crap….
When the last twig snaps….
I vote severity of desperation – including using illegal alien registrations to gen fake ballots (hence the judge’s ruling in CA).
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.
just need to outcheat the stuipd, let the best cheater win
Judge Carter is simply “running out the clock” to enable the comingling of fraudulent votes with all votes, eliminating their traceability for post-election validation (according to the DOJ).
CA is frontally challenging, and succeeding, the constitutional provision of voter integrity.
We can be certain that fair elections are only a memory if CA’s equally illegal, brazen, and flagrant protection of fraudulent voting is not struck down by the SCOTUS.
Obviously the entire Dim vote by mail fraud scam is the primary reason 30 million illegal invaders were ushered into America. Take those 30 million illegal fraudulent ballots out of each state system and the Dimtrash party no longer exists
Excellent post, a clear explanation of the way things stand, and how we’ve arrived to the situation we face.
What’s there to investigate? The previous administration established a tracking database and system by issuing phones and an app for all of the illegals. They created their tool, now it’s a tool for mapping out removal prospects.
This situation was in existence in 2024, yet as voters, we were able to overwhelm it and elect President Trump. We can do this again. And then hope tht in the next few years, the system is corrected.
