ABC, NBC, and CNN did not broadcast President Donald Trump’s July 16, 2026, prime-time address on election security live on their primary television channels. If you don’t broadcast a national address from the President of the United States, maybe the reason is that you may have had something to do with the alleged fraud?
Washington, D.C — The Department of Homeland Security told election officials in California, New Jersey, Nevada and Pennsylvania that a preliminary review found what could be more than 256,000 noncitizens registered to vote across the four states, according to letters obtained by Fox News Digital.
In the four letters dated Friday, DHS Secretary Mullin said the department compared publicly available voter registration records with federal immigration data and uncovered thousands of potential matches. He asked state election officials to work with DHS to verify the identities before taking any action.
The White House declassified documents and reports addressing key areas of election integrity.
According to the letters, DHS estimates there may be as many as 190,832 noncitizens registered to vote in California, 35,152 in New Jersey, 15,903 in Nevada and 14,576 in Pennsylvania.
The department said it found 81,336 California registrants, 19,497 New Jersey registrants, 8,576 Nevada registrants and 8,594 Pennsylvania registrants whose names, dates of birth, addresses and Social Security numbers match noncitizens in DHS records.
Many noncitizens are legally issued Social Security numbers, including lawful permanent residents, people authorized to work in the United States and certain visa holders. DHS said it used Social Security numbers as one of several identifiers in matching voter registration records with federal immigration records.
New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill announced on Tuesday that 6,600 noncitizens had registered to vote between 2023 and 2024, with around 400 of them casting ballots — a stunning revelation that has made waves in Trenton and Washington. Sherrill blamed the debacle on a “serious software error”. When individuals applied for driver’s licenses and ID cards at the state Motor Vehicle Commission, Sherrill said, even those who indicated they were noncitizens were erroneously added to the voter rolls anyway.
The company at the center of New Jersey’s voter registration debacle is pushing back against Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s claims that noncitizens were registered to vote because of a “serious software error,” asserting that state agencies were to blame instead. The France-based vendor IDEMIA, however, said that its systems functioned perfectly well, and had in fact been specifically approved by the state before being implemented. The error, the company claimed, arose when the Motor Vehicles Commission sent noncitizens’ data to the state Division of Elections — which the company said should not have happened, but was the state’s own doing.
About the Author
As someone who has been on the globe for eight decades now, I would say “”our” election system in this country is a sick joke, and it is hard to find an era or epoch in this nation’s history when it wasn’t so.
Here to the north of Cape Charlles (yes, people, as hard as it may be to believe, there actually does exist life outside of the municipal limits of Cape Charles) , the town elections, the county elections, the state elections and federal elections are all in the same hands of a small coterie of politicals who control the election process for the benefit of their party.
Up this way, harvesting absentee ballots is a favorite gimmick, where people who are party stooges merely sign an absentee ballot that is then filled out by a party apparatchik.
And such it is and so it goes.
Do I vote?
Of course.
Has it ever made a positive difference?
Not that I can discern, and given we are on a downhill run in terms of the lack of quality and intelligence and intellect and honesty of those in power today, especially at the town and county levels, I fail to s ee where my bothering to vote will make any difference.
In or about 1788, John Adams, who was later to be this nation’s second president, and a favorite target of Tommy Jefferson, whose pet scribe James Callender described Adam in a pamphlet titled The Prospect Before Us, labeled Adams a “hideous, hermaphroditical character,” published his “Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America,” and in Chapter VII of Volume IV on Athens, concluded as follows, which is indeed relevant to our times today, since that was Alpha and we are at or near Omega, to wit:
From the example of Athens, it is clear that the government of a single assembly of archons, chosen by the people, was found intolerable; that, to remedy the evils of it, Solon established four several orders — an assembly of the people, an assembly of four hundred, an assembly of archons, and the Areopagus; that he endeavored to balance one singly by another, instead of forming his balance out of three branches.
Thus, these attempts at an equilibrium were ineffectual; produced a never-ending fluctuation in the national councils; continual factions, massacres, proscriptions, banishment, and death of the best citizens.
And the history of the Peloponnesian war, by Thucydides, informs us how the raging flames at last burnt out.
The people in each of the United States, have, after all, more real authority than they had in Athens.
Planted, as they are, over large dominions, they cannot meet in one assembly, and, therefore, are not exposed to those tumultuous commotions, like the raging waves of the sea, which always agitated the ecclesia at Athens.
They have all elections of governor and senators, as well as representatives, so prudently guarded, that there is scarce a possibility of intrigue.
The property required in a representative, senator, or even a governor, is so small, that multitudes have equal pretensions to be chosen.
No election is confined to any order of nobility, or to any great wealth; yet the legislature is so divided into three branches, that no law can be passed in a passion, nor any inconsistent with the constitution.
The executive is excluded from the two legislative assemblies; and the judiciary power is independent, as well as separate from all.
This will be a fair trial, whether a government so popular can preserve itself.
If it can, there is reason to hope for all the equality, all the liberty, and every other good fruit of an Athenian democracy, without any of its ingratitude, levity, convulsions, or factions.
After their handling of the chinese flu, their lack of interest in finding/punishing the lab in wuhan, their lack of shutting down the other 250 labs in 32 other countries, their lack of interest in funding long covid/vaccine injury research…why would anyone trust their election system? After they showed their true colors, why would anyone trust the federal, state or local government?
Now there’s one thing you might have noticed i don’t complain about: politicians. everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well where do people think these politicians come from? They don’t fall out of the sky. They don’t pass through a membrane from “another reality”. They come from American parents, and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses, and American universities. And they’re elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It’s what our system produces: Garbage in. Garbage out. If you have selfish ignorant citizens… If you have selfish ignorant citizens, you’re going to get selfish ignorant leaders. And term-limits ain’t going to do you any good. You’re just going to wind up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So maybe… maybe… MAYBE, it’s not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here like: “THE PUBLIC”. Yeah the public sucks. There’s a nice campaign slogan for somebody: “the public sucks, fuck hope”. Fuck hope. Because if it’s really just the fault of these politicians, then where are all the other bright people of conscience? Where are all the bright, honest, intelligent Americans ready to step in and save the nation and lead the way? We don’t have people like that in this country. Everybody’s at the mall scratching his ass, picking his nose, taking out his credit card out of a fannie-pack, and buying a pair of sneakers with lights in them. So I have solved this little political dilemma for myself in a very simple way: on election-day, I-STAY-HOME. I don’t vote. Fuck ’em. FUCK THEM. I don’t vote. Two reasons. Two reasons I don’t vote: first of all, it’s meaningless. This country was bought and sold and paid for a long time ago. The shit they shuffle around every four years doesn’t mean a fuckin’ thing. And secondly, I don’t vote ’cause I believe if you vote, you have no right to complain. People like to twist that around. I know, they say, they say: “well if you don’t vote you have no right to complain”. But where’s the logic in that? If you vote, and you elect dishonest, incompetent people, and they get into office and screw everything up, well you are responsible for what they have done, YOU caused the problem, you voted them in, you have no right to complain. I on the other hand, who did not vote, WHO DID NOT VOTE. Who in fact did not even leave the house on election-day, am in no way responsible for what these people have done, and have every RIGHT to complain as loud as I want, about the mess YOU created, that I had nothing to do with. So I know that a little later on this year, you’re going to have another one of those really swell presidential elections that you like so much. You enjoy yourselves. It will be a lot of fun. I’m sure as soon as the election is over, your country will “improve” immediately. As for me, I’ll be home on that day, doing essentially the same thing as you, the only difference is, when I get finished masturbating, I’m going to have a little something to show for it folks.
George, dude, you aren’t bad out there on the comedy circuit, especially with that old crowd pleaser the Hippy-Dippy Weatherman, but with respect to politicians, dude, you are all wet and obviously out of touch with the reality we in the audience live in.
You say to us that there’s one thing we might have noticed, which is that you don’t complain about: politicians.
As for myself, I wasn’t really aware of that.
And then you say “everybody complains about politicians.”
In my 80 years on the globe, quite frankly, I have not found that to be true.
Very few people actually complain about politicians, and even fewer try to take positive action against them such as hauling into court to make them explain themselves to a judge, or jury.
Think about the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence – “all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.”
And then you say, “Everybody says they suck.”
I actually don’t say that because it is too jejune, if you take my meaning.
I go after them based on their job description, myself, because while you may be a political hack while running for elected office, once you win, thereafter you are a servant of the public who has taken a Constitutional oath to
perform your appointed duties as a public official.
And then your schtick goes on as follows: “Well where do people think these politicians come from?”
I think they are self-created, to tell you the truth.
That has been my experience with the breed going back many years now.
You then inform us that politicians don’t fall out of the sky and they don’t pass through a membrane from “another reality”.
How certain of that are you?
Have you any objective proof you can rely on or present us with to make those conclusory statements as opposed to speculative statements?
And here is where you go off into the weeds and end up arguing against the facts, to wit: “They come from American parents, and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses, and American universities.”
Ilhan Omar did not.
She came here from war-torn and corrupt Mogadishu, Somalia.
Mazie Hirono, the Democratic U.S. Senator from Hawaii, wasborn in Fukushima, Japan.
Ted Lieu, the Democratic U.S. Representative from California, was born in Taiwan.
Bernie Moreno, the Republican U.S. Senator from Ohio, was born in Bogota, Colombia.
And Pramila Jayapal, the Democratic U.S. Representative from Washington, was born in Chennai, India.
And George, dude, you started out with some necessary introspection which is always a good thing, as you can never be too old for introspection is my thought, anyway.
But barely a few sentences in and here you are, jumped the tracks and coming down the rails sideways, which is never a good thing, no matter how old you are!
Let’s look at what you are trying to peddle us here when you tell us that this is the best we can do, folks.
That’s horsecrap!
That’s the best the Democrats and Republicans have to offer!
But here I will agree with you when you say “it’s what our system produces: Garbage in. Garbage out.” although it is not our system, George.
It’s the system the Democrats and Republicans have imposed on us by fiat.
This “‘two-party” system here in America is really the source of the garbage in-garbage out syndrome you make reference to.
And then you jump over to plain, unbridled, garden-variety obloquy, although backed by at least a germ of truth, I would say, when you tell us that if you have selfish ignorant citizens, you’re going to get selfish ignorant leaders.
So why is that, George?
How can the world’s leading superpower bar none have a citizen body made up to selfish ignorant citizens who are giving us selfish ignorant leaders?
What you are plainly talking about is a societal break-down here in what used to be America.
Which takes us to your statement about term-limits ain’t going to do us any good because we’re just going to wind up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans.
Dystopia, George, is what you are talking about.
A nation past its peak, like Rome, and now in a serious state of decline.
So maybe… maybe… MAYBE, it’s not the politicians who suck?
There’s a conundrum for us to have to chew on a bit is my thought.
But there’s plenty more red meat where that came form, so when the cogitating on the conundrum has run its course, we’ll be back for more.
With respect to my comment above about being someone who has been on the globe for eight decades now who would say that what is jokingly referred to as ”our” election system in this country, which really is nothing more than a contested system fought over by unprincipled Democrats and Republicans who exploit the broken system for the benefit of their respective parties and the patronage and graft that go with holding power here in America, being nothing more than a sick joke on those of us who are neither a Democrat nor a Republican, having no need to brand ourselves with an empty and useless label, do we really need to go any further for proof of the idiocy and incompetence of those in high places than the statement above about New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill announcing on Tuesday that 6,600 noncitizens had registered to vote between 2023 and 2024, with around 400 of them casting ballots — a stunning revelation that has made waves in Trenton and Washington?
Passing the buck, because the buck doesn’t stop at his desk, Sherrill blamed the debacle on a “serious software error”.
As the article states, the company at the center of New Jersey’s voter registration debacle is pushing back against Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s claims that noncitizens were registered to vote because of a “serious software error,” asserting that state agencies were to blame instead.
The France-based vendor IDEMIA, however, said that its systems functioned perfectly well, and had in fact been specifically approved by the state before being implemented.
The error, the company claimed, arose when the Motor Vehicles Commission sent noncitizens’ data to the state Division of Elections — which the company said should not have happened, but was the state’s own doing.
Consider that Article V, Section I, Paragraph 11 of the New Jersey Constitution provides that “The Governor shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.”
There is some constitutional language that today doesn’t amount to a hill of beans as this story makes crystal clear.
As governor, that constitutional language grants Mike Sherrill as governor the power to take court action in the state’s name to enforce compliance or stop violations by any state officer, department, or agency.
But he won’t!
He won’t upset the apple cart as he goes along to get along.
End of that story!
I once tried to find out how many separate, individual polling places there are in America on election day, and suffice to say, the number is huge.
So there is no way that George Carlin above here can stereotype voters all across America, as if we all came out of a cookie cutter.
Now, George brags about not voting, as if that somehow makes him special, but truth of the matter is – it doesn’t.
It makes him quite common, actually, although he is quite vocal about while the typical non-voter seems far more defensive, and as a result, aren’t as likely to broadcast their sentiments about not voting as is George!
And speaking of George being common with respect to not voting, in my small town with a population of 4327, in 2025, the Republican was put into place as supervisor with 872 votes to the Democrat’s 861, in a town with 815 Democrats to 1073 Republicans and 1077 Blanks like myself who have no need to attach some party label to ourselves to let us know who we really are.
Doing some math, in the town, where four parties are recognized, along with an “other” category and the Blank category, there are 3422 registered voters of all stripes, and of those 3422 registered voters, only 1733 actually voted for either of the supervisor candidates, which works out to 50.64%.
So when it comes to not voting, George is actually just one in a big crowd!
And staying with all the red meat George Carlin has thrown our way above here, George, who reminds us of Diogenes going out in broad daylight with a lit lantern searching for an honest man, poses us this serious political question to consider, to wit: “Because if it’s really just the fault of these politicians, then where are all the other bright people of conscience?”
My answer is right here in the venerable Cape Charles Mirror, although in his blindness, George fails to see that reality all around him, as if George thinks only dolts would stoop to reading the Cape Charles Mirror, because George himself appears to be nothing more than a dolt, and he is then projecting that status onto the rest of us in here who are not dolts and have no wish to be, which takes us to George’s next question, to wit: “Where are all the bright, honest, intelligent Americans ready to step in and save the nation and lead the way?”
That answer is that all the bright, honest, intelligent Americans who potentially are ready to step in and save the nation and lead the way realize that as long as the system is controlled by the Republicans and Democrats thanks to people like George who consciously choose to stay sitting down and stay silent, thus ceding political power to the Democrats and Republicans, that status quo will not change, and so they waste no valuable time or emotional energy trying to overcome that inertia caused by people like George Carlin who stay silent on election day when that is the day their voices should be heard.
