Something is different this week. You can feel the shift.
For years we said the same thing to the same closed doors. Our elections are riddled with process problems, which make them vulnerable to fraud. The records will show it, if anyone will only look. And for years the answer came back as a shrug, empty promises, hollow press releases, another door closing.
This week, doors are opening. Let's start with the rolls, because that is where all of this started for True the Vote back in the day.
Twenty-five states are now running sixty-eight million registrations through the SAVE database, flagging more than 480,000 questionable records in just ten states, so the numbers will continue to climb. And that is from a fairly narrow look. The real number of bad records, if ever exposed through a comprehensive audit, would be exponentially higher. But it is a good start.
Enter the antagonists. Four states — California, New Jersey, Nevada, Pennsylvania — refuse to run a SAVE check at all. Homeland Security estimates over 250,000 noncitizen registrations would be found sitting on their rolls. Of course, those four states say the DHS numbers can't be trusted.
Then, on July 21, the Governor of New Jersey reluctantly admitted that 6,600 noncitizens had been added to the state's rolls and that four hundred of them had voted — but insisted it was a software glitch. The company that wrote the software says her state's own process approved them, and based on our information, we side with the vendor. The process itself is what's broken. The software just digitized it.
The argument at the center of this debacle is the reliability of the SAVE database. SAVE was originally designed to check eligibility for social service benefits, not for voting. But it does contain data useful in determining citizenship status, which is what informs voting eligibility.
So we are told that SAVE sometimes returns a bad match, and therefore all checking should stop. Think of it. What business closes its books because the ledger didn't balance on the first pass? A flagged record is a question, not a verdict. To refuse to look is not caution. It is a way of choosing not to know. Cleaning up the rolls is bookkeeping. It is not a millstone to hang around a voter's neck, and it is not — for crying out loud — a scheme to keep anyone from voting. Either a person qualifies to vote or they don't.
Which brings us to a reality check, because the real work, if it is to be done, can’t start in databases at all. It has to start in us. In two years, confidence that our elections are run fairly and accurately has fallen off a cliff, from 76% down to 66% nationwide. And 83% of us want voter ID. Americans want common sense reforms.
And it's not about just citizenship checks, or ID, or basic record accuracy, or mail ballots, or month long voting, or machines, or foreign influence, its about all of it.
Confidence in elections will not be won back by political arguments. It will be won back by good housekeeping and practical improvements in our processes. The reason politicians can't make this a pitch for common sense is that they are conditioned to saber-rattling. How wonderful would it be to see fear traded for hopeful leadership that actually solves simple problems. And this really is simple, which is why it's so maddening. But even the admission from Governor Sherrill is progress.
Change is happening. We just can't quit.
A few more things. Our team has recently gone back deep into the Georgia election records (on a matter that has nothing to do with citizenship checks), and what we're seeing is stunning — but it’s data-heavy and could be confusing, so we're working right now on a way to help tell the story clearly, with receipts. Very exciting. And Trapped (Detroit) — years of work, thousands of hours, exposing the human cost of vote fraud — is nearly finished. We're looking at an end-of-month release for the trailer and the accompanying new websites.
None of this is a finish line, we know that. But doors of all types are opening. We are moving, and not just in circles. The journey is changing course. And we're here for it.
We can't do this without you — and we wouldn't want to.
Thank you for your support!
In Case You Missed It...
The "Never Happens" Happens Again
The left is, once again, scrambling to come up with every excuse as to why "only less than 400 out of 6,600" noncitizens identified on New Jersey's voter roll were discovered to have voted between 2023 and 2024. Meanwhile, Assemblyman Jamel Holley reacts: "This is precisely why we need to pass the SAVE Act".
A friendly reminder: The majority of Americans agree that voter ID is essential. 400 noncitizen votes silence 400 eligible American voters' voices. There is no excuse.
When things turned ugly in our work with the FBI on the Konnech project in 2022, we were told it was because “two women in the DC office” had taken over the case and turned it against us. Never got their names. Could it be these two? Very interesting.
“This is blatant manipulation and rigging right in the middle of the election season,” stated Assemblyman David Tangipa.
In a guttural, trustless representation of his people, California Attorney General Rob Bonta took it upon himself to rewrite the title and summary for the ballot initiative, Prop 39, that would require ID at the polls.
Daniel Ortega told Nicaragua there will be no more elections — that his opponents should “forget about it.” In power since 2007, he’s now made his own wife co-president.
We're seeing ballot language changed, noncitizen voting explained away, and evidence of investigation interference all in one week. Nicaragua is a warning.
Remember: you don't need a title, a law degree, or anyone's permission to get involved. You need awareness, courage, and the resolve to stay in it when others walk away.
True the Vote will keep doing our part. With faith as our foundation and patriots like you standing in the gap, we'll keep pressing for transparency, accountability, and an America we leave stronger than we found it.
We can't do this without you — and we wouldn't want to.
Thank you for your support!

Thank You for the incredible gift of Your Holy Spirit. Thank You for choosing to dwell within us and never leaving us to walk through this life alone. You comfort us in our sorrow, strengthen us in our weakness, and give us wisdom when we lack it. And You do not simply call us to live differently, but You empower us to do so. Thank You for gently transforming our hearts so that our lives increasingly reflect the character of Christ.
Teach us to remain rooted in You and to continuously shine Your light through every season. When our flesh pulls us in one direction, help us choose Yours instead. When our thoughts, our words, our attitudes, and our actions want us to follow the ways of the world, give us the courage to reflect Jesus instead so that others can experience Your love through the way we live.
In Jesus’ Name Amen
