It cites Mollie Hemingway&#8217;s book, which argues that corrupting forces exploited COVID-19 fears to ensure Joe Biden&#8217;s victory. President Donald Trump addressed concerns about election security, presenting declassified documents revealing Chinese meddling and the presence of noncitizens on voter rolls, alongside a significant voter registration fraud scheme in Michigan. this scheme involved thousands of suspicious applications, some linked to individuals accepting payoffs or trading marijuana and cash for registrations. Despite substantial investigation efforts, authorities like Michigan&#8217;s attorney General failed to prosecute those involved, allegedly due to partisan reasons. The report also criticizes the influence of private funds, notably Zuckerberg&#8217;s donations, on Michigan\u2019s election procedures, arguing they led to a partisan takeover of election administration. the article portrays the 2020 election as compromised by foreign interference, voter fraud, and partisan control, raising questions about election integrity.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Mollie Hemingway was right. The 2020 election was rigged. <\/p>\n<p>The Federalist\u2019s editor-in-chief in her 2021 book, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Rigged-Media-Democrats-Seized-Elections\/dp\/B09QHNBQP1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections<\/em>,<\/a> laid out a compelling case that some big corrupting forces used Covid fear to get their man \u2014 Joe Biden \u2014 elected in 2020. <\/p>\n<p>In his <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/07\/16\/dhs-more-than-250000-noncitizens-are-registered-to-vote-in-four-states\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">address to the nation<\/a> Thursday evening, President Donald Trump walked through some of the more egregious attacks on election integrity and security in a 2020 election that government bureaucrats absurdly <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/top-officials-elections-most-secure-66f9361084ccbc461e3bbf42861057a5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">declared<\/a> \u201cthe most secure in American history.\u201d And Trump brought the receipts. <\/p>\n<p>During his primetime address, the White House released four tranches of newly declassified documents from intelligence community files, overseen by the White House Government Transparency Taskforce. The records expose China\u2019s meddling in the election and point to hundreds of thousands of noncitizens on state voter rolls. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe president\u2019s news is shocking but not surprising given prior hacks of U.S. data by the Chinese.\u00a0But what should make Americans very angry is the cover-up to hide what happened and the failure to prosecute wrongdoers for obvious politically partisan reasons,\u201d Hans von Spakovsky, senior fellow at Advancing American Freedom, told The Federalist.  <\/p>\n<p>Some of the more damning documents come from the FBI\u2019s investigation into a leftist voter registration scheme in swing state Michigan, where Democrat Joe Biden, as he did in other battlegrounds, claimed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/election\/2020\/results\/state\/michigan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">narrow victory<\/a>. The declassified records offer a window into a massive voter registration fraud operation in Muskegon, Michigan, and a years-long investigation that tracked as many as 10,000 suspicious or forged registration forms submitted in the weeks before election.\u00a0They also undercut the real Big Lie by Democrats and their accomplice media pals, that election administration in the 2020 election is beyond reproach.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>The probe involved thousands of man hours that included interviews with former employees of a canvassing company that witnesses say signed off on fictitious registrations and hired registration form pirates who traded marijuana and cash for voter regulation applications. <\/p>\n<p>Trump said the Biden Justice Department slow-walked and eventually killed the case. The documents suggest the Criminal Division\u2019s Public Integrity section did just that. Then Michigan\u2019s leftist attorney general refused to press charges because the fraudulent activity was discovered and broken up before Election Day. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTonight, I am asking the FBI director to ensure the matter is fully investigated and to work with the Department of Justice to prosecute those responsible for any crimes,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n<h2>\u2018Red Flags\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>According to emails from the case file, the Muskegon Police Department was investigating suspicious registration forms flooding into the Muskegon City Clerk\u2019s office in the weeks leading up to the election. State and federal law enforcement got involved in early October. On Oct. 5, the clerk\u2019s office received six packages of voter registration applications via the U.S. Postal Service, an FBI email notes. <\/p>\n<p>Muskegon elections officials determined that \u201csome of the applications were fraudulent based on nonexistent addresses, invalid telephone numbers and signatures on applications not matching Michigan Secretary of State voting or DMV records,\u201d the document states. Curiously, the forms appeared to have been completed in the same hand-writing. <\/p>\n<p>The documents were delivered by one individual and arrived from the same address. That information is redacted. There are a lot of redactions in the files.The same individual hand-delivered numerous applications \u201cwith similar red flags,\u201d according to the agency. Investigators estimated that the registration wrangler submitted \u201capproximately 8,000 to 10,000 applications.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>FBI agents interviewed former employees of the registration form collector, approximately 100, and others, according to one email.<\/p>\n<p>One woman told law enforcement officials that she worked for an organization (redacted). She said she was paid for voter registration work. Most of the frontline workers received prepaid debit cards for their efforts, records show. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe was involved in similar registration drives in Detroit, Ypsilanti, Southfield, Flint, and Lansing,\u201d the FBI email states. A data search revealed that she worked in 2018 for a candidate campaigning for Georgia\u2019s 7th Congressional District seat, agents reported. The woman was paid $52,000 for \u201cfield consulting\u201d and canvassing. <\/p>\n<p>The case was being prosecuted by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, a highly partisan Democrat, the FBI communication states. <\/p>\n<h2>\u2018Easy Money\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>One former employer told FBI agents that her bosses required her to submit \u201ctwo to 3 applications to get paid.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost of the employees submitted the registrations with false information because it was easy money,\u201d the former form wrangler told investigators, according to one email. <\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><span><\/p>\n<blockquote data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<div lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>Every American, whether Republican, Democrat, Independent, or otherwise, should be able to agree that we deserve the most secure, honest, and fair election system anywhere in the world. <\/p>\n<p>Secure elections should not be a partisan issue that divides Americans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u2014 The White House (@WhiteHouse) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/WhiteHouse\/status\/2077929232655634776?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 17, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/span> <\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>In an interview on Dec 18, 2023, more than three years after the shenanigans-filled presidential election, one former employee told FBI agents that she knew of other canvassers \u201cwho would trade marijuana and money for voter registration applications.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Employees told the law enforcement officials that canvassers were instructed, \u201cif they couldn\u2019t get enough applications, they should just fill them in.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis occurred at a meeting with over 100 employees present,\u201d an email states. One of the employees asked what the company official meant. He picked up a blank application and filled it out, making up information and said, \u201cThis is what I mean,\u201d the investigation records claim. <\/p>\n<p>One former employee estimated she submitted 100 fake voter registration applications. <\/p>\n<h2>\u2018Failed to Charge\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>The investigation plodded along, in fits and starts at times. <\/p>\n<p>In a memo dated, Thursday Aug. 12, 2021, FBI agents were told by DOJ higher ups that \u201cno further action should be taken in this district at this time.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>One agent in particular fought to keep the investigation alive. In a redacted email, the FBI official noted that investigators were preparing to close the probe. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore I do so, I was hoping to discuss with you the limited scope that PIN (Public Integrity section) approved in the investigation of the fraudulent voter registration applications,\u201d the agent wrote. \u201cIt appears as though this type of fraud would result in a full field investigation.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The agent\u2019s arguments appear to have won out. Records show the investigation resumed. But nobody was ever held accountable. In 2023, Republicans in the Michigan House of Representative introduced articles of impeachment against Nessel, who, according to the lawmakers, \u201cviolated her constitutional oath of office by failing to faithfully discharge the duties of her office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite the fact that an October 2020 investigation found evidence that an organization submitted clearly fraudulent voter registration applications to the Muskegon City Clerk, Attorney General Nessel has failed to charge those responsible for forging and filing these documents,\u201d the resolution <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislature.mi.gov\/documents\/2023-2024\/resolutionintroduced\/House\/htm\/2023-HIR-0165.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stated<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>The Michigan State Police, which worked with Nessel\u2019s office on the state probe into the fraud allegations, covered for the controversial attorney general. <\/p>\n<p>\u201c[N]one of the irregular voter registrations in Muskegon resulted in voters receiving absentee ballots, any resulting registrations have been voided, and there is no expected impact on any election,\u201d the law enforcement agency said in a statement. <\/p>\n<h2>\u2018Private Takeover\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Michigan played a pivotal role in deciding the closely contested 2020 election.
