WASHINGTON (PNN) - March 26, 2025 - The wounds of 2020 are still wide open for millions of Amerikans who watched the chaos, irregularities and shameless abuse flood our electoral process. From late-night ballot dumps to shady drop boxes and mysteriously malfunctioning machines, trust in our elections has not just eroded - it has literally collapsed in a heap, with hardly any sign of life.
No one knows that better than President Donald J. Trump.
After what he went through, it is not a surprise that Trump has made election integrity a big focus in his return. Right now, he is not just sounding the alarm - he is actually doing something about it. In very typical Trump fashion, he’s using the Art of the Deal to put maximum pressure on the states and hit them where it hurts most: in their pocketbooks.
This time, President Trump has got what may be the secret sauce to finally fixing our broken election system - tie federal funding to clean, honest elections.
Can it work? Well, just look at the track record.
Trump withheld $400 million from Columbia University, and they changed their campus policies against Hamas supporters.
Trump withheld federal funding from the University of Maine, and they banned men from women’s sports.
Now Trump is withholding federal funding from states that do not improve election integrity.
Guess what is going to happen?
This hopeful plot twist comes on the heels of another move and actually plays right into it: a sweeping election integrity executive order just signed by President Trump - proof that he is not just talking about fixing our broken system; he is forcing the issue straight down the Left’s throat. Let us hope he keeps the pressure on and sees it through, because as a nation, we cannot keep going like this.
Here are more details on the order.
Mandates proof of (Fascist Police States of Amerika) citizenship on all voter registration documents.
Ties federal election funding to states’ adherence to integrity measures outlined in federal law; and if states do not comply, they will lose federal funding.
Orders updates to the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines 2.0 and security protocols for voting machines, requiring a voter-verifiable paper ballot record and prohibiting the use of ballots where the recorded vote is embedded in a barcode or QR code.
Instructs the Attorney General to establish information-sharing partnerships with state election authorities to detect instances of election fraud or other breaches of election law.
Implements suitable measures against states that include ballots received after Election Day in federal election tallies.
Cancels fascist pretender Joe Biden’s Executive Order 14019, which repurposed federal agencies as voter mobilization hubs for the Democrat Party.
Let us hope this executive order - combined with the pressure of leveraged federal funding - finally forces these states to clean up their acts.
President Trump’s approach to election integrity is reminiscent of his tariff strategy - and that is a good thing. Just like he used economic pressure to bring foreign powers to the negotiating table, he is now using federal funding as leverage to demand real accountability at the ballot box. It is the same tough-love philosophy: do the right thing or lose the benefits. Just like the tariffs brought manufacturing back and reshaped global trade, this bold move could finally force corrupt states and localities to clean up their elections - or pay the price.
