You can tell what’s going on here from the way Reuters frames President Donald Trump’s efforts to ensure the integrity of elections in the United States. Trump, the far-left propaganda organ masquerading as a news agency tells us, is trying to “overhaul elections.” Yeah, sure, that’s it.
The dastardly Orange Man “has made winning approval in Congress of a divisive package of voting restrictions called the SAVE America Act a priority.” However, the left is busy protecting us all from his machinations: “Judges have blocked an earlier executive order he signed requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote and restricting the counting of mail ballots.”
All this must be part of Trump’s efforts to install himself as a fascist dictator, right? That seems to be what Reuters would have us believe. After all, who else would want people who are voting in American elections to demonstrate that they’re American citizens, and to restrict mail-in ballots, which are so easily susceptible to fraud? But leftists can relax: The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has just acted to save what leftists always call “our democracy,” and has again thrown a roadblock in the way of Trump’s attempt to clean up our elections.
The Saturday Reuters report notes that “a federal appeals court on Saturday declined to allow U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration to implement in 23 states his executive order that aims to tighten rules for mail-in voting ahead of November elections that will decide control of Congress.” So the cheating can proceed apace, and leftist candidates don’t have to worry about whether or not they’ll be elected.
The court “rejected the administration’s request to lift an injunction several Democratic-led states secured on June 25 from a lower-court judge who concluded that key parts of the Republican president’s order were unconstitutional.” How could it possibly be unconstitutional to try to close off some of the avenues that have been commonly used to cheat in elections? Unfortunately, the court didn’t address that question.
In this case, the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals voted 2-1 against Trump. Voting against the president was Judge Gustavo A. Gelpí, whom Old Joe Biden appointed to the court in October 2021, and Judge Julie Rikelman, another Biden appointee, who joined the court in June 2023. There are eleven judges on the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and Republican presidents appointed only two of them: President George W. Bush appointed Judge Jeffrey R. Howard back in May 2002, and Trump appointed Judge Joshua D. Dunlap in November 2025. Dunlap was the one judge who voted in favor of fair elections in this case.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Mail-in ballots are a terrible fraudulent scheme used to foster dishonest election results. The site, Omega4America.com explains how it works. Also, there are a lot of articles about this by Jay Valentine on American Thinker.

There was a difference between the way the vote counting was done in 2024 compared to 2020. In mid 2024 Lara Trump (Daughter in law) was tasked with finding 100,000 people to act as vote scrutineers for the 2024 presidential election count. She got 200,000 volunteers plus about 50 lawyers who donated their time to answer questions from the scrutineers. This put a lot more integrity in the vote count. This has been very poorly reported but you will find news articles on this. I accidentally came across it in a Republican Convention speech.
