President Donald J. Trump pledged to improve the integrity of elections in America and he is doing it – while simultaneously conducting military operations in the Mideast, protecting the border and trying to promote fair trade practices around the world.

He accomplishes more in one day than his senile predecessor did during his entire term.

An executive order Trump signed earlier this year is intended to strengthen election integrity by ordering citizenship verification for federal elections and modernizing and securing mail-in and absentee ballot procedures through the U.S. Postal Service.

The order directs the Secretary of Homeland Security, in coordination with the Social Security Administration, to compile and transmit to each state a State Citizenship List of confirmed U.S. citizens who will be 18 or older at the time of the next upcoming Federal election and reside in that state.

On the campaign trail in 2024, President Trump vowed: “We will secure our elections, and they will be secure once and for all.”

During his first term he issued an order declaring foreign interference in our elections a national security emergency and called up intelligence agencies to investigate. They found foreign actors attempted disinformation, influence campaigns, and infrastructure probing, with limited or no impact on voting system integrity.

The recent order was his second attempt in his current term to address election fraud. An executive order Trump signed In March 2025 to strengthen voting integrity in a variety of ways, including through verifying state voter-registration lists, enforcing Federal law to prohibit States from counting ballots received after Election Day, and banning foreign nationals from interfering in U.S. elections.

Trump has repeatedly called on Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, a straightforward, common sense bill to ensure that only American citizens cast ballots.

The liberal party cares little about election fraud, claiming it does not exist or is so small that it has no effect on the outcome. (Lyndon Johnson won his 1948 primary race for the U.S. Senate with fraudulent votes and went on to become president.) Nevertheless, the liberal media echoes this message and is making light of Trump’s effort to prevent fraud, which could be rampant under universal mail in voting, advocated by the liberal side.

Democrats support open borders and any kind of election gimmick that would allow people who have illegally crossed the border to vote.

We have gone from election day voting and a few absentee ballots to election day voting, weeks of early voting and mail-in voting on a wide scale.

Even if fraud were not a problem now, there is a long-term problem from allowing non-citizens to enter freely and become wards of the state, being preconditioned to vote for the party that continues to advocate more and more welfare and “free stuff.”

Trump’s efforts have been challenged in the courts. Liberal media assure Trump opponents that even if it prevails in the courts, Trump’s effort would be logistically impossible to implement, according to elections “experts” they claim to have consulted.

Duval County Elections Supervisor Jerry Holland says the recent executive order would have little effect in Florida, which already has laws protecting voting integrity, including its own SAVE Act limiting voting to citizens.

Federal law has prohibited non-citizens from voting in federal elections since 1996, and no state permits non-citizens to vote in statewide or federal races. According to the Bipartisan Policy Center, 44 states verify that absentee ballots are sent by the intended voter through signature matching against voter records, a witness or notary requirement, or driver’s license or partial Social Security number verification.
