The facts must be faced. The Democratic coalition today is not fit for purpose. It cannot beat Republicans consistently in enough areas of the country to achieve dominance and implement its agenda.

The maps above explain how Krazy Kamala won 226 electoral votes and Democrats peeled off one seat in the House (they kinda-sorta cheat), and why Republicans must expand their 220-215 majority in the House and 53-47 majority in the Senate (Democrats with gavels have already proven disastrous). It’s not too early to think about 2026, because the Democrat Party has outlived its useful life.

The GOP now has the wind at its back. 2024 exit polls show 35% of voters identify as Republicans, 34% as Independents, and only 31% as Democrats. And, Gallup’s November 6 poll found 47% of voters were Republicans or Republican leans, and just 41% were Democrats or Democrat leans. Because, between 2020 and 2024, 10,000,000 self-described Democrats became self-described Independents (source: The Washington Examiner).

In 2024, the Democrats’ share of the presidential turnout plummeted, while Trump’s percentage grew in every state. Republican congressional candidates set a record with 74,066,000 popular votes, 4,400,000 more than Democrats (source: Real Clear Politics). Which is to say Democrats can easily lose House and Senate seats in 2026. To make this a reality, Trump needs to make good on has campaign promises, pass a national election-integrity law, and correct the shoddy 2020 census.

Job One: Keep Trump’s Election Promises

If blue-state governors and mayors actively resist ICE and CBP agents – after the mayor of New York City has agreed to cooperate – Democrats can kiss those soccer moms goodbye. If Drill Baby Drill results in $1.80 petrol at the pump, Republicans can count on 48 million working-class voters. If the $21,500 average of social-security income becomes tax-free, Republicans can count on the support of 42.7 million senior voters scattered across 65 competitive House districts.

Job Two: Pass a National Election Integrity Law

Democrats tipped their hand by opposing deportations and voter-ID laws, so Job Two is to revive the SAVE (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility) Act to enact what a super-majority of Americans support. 82% of Americans want paper ballots, 72% want voting to end on Election Day, 81% want a photo ID required to vote, and 71% want only US citizens to vote (source: Harris X polling and Pew Research). Thus, the SAVE Act must include 5 mandates:

  1. Ballots must either be on paper or with printed paper backup
  2. Ballots can only be counted if received by the end of Election Day
  3. All voters must present a government-provided photo ID to receive an in-person or mail-in ballot
  4. Only documented US citizens can vote in national elections
  5. State elections that allow non-citizens to vote cannot be held on the first Tuesday in November

The SAVE Act means decent Americans won’t have to “trust” Dominion voting machines, ballots counted weeks after Election Day, self-declared citizens without proper IDs, states that don’t ask “citizenship” questions, or California’s non-citizens getting ballots with anything other than choices for state and local office. Suffice it to note the SAVE Act will make those maps up top look a lot different in 2028.

Conduct a Corrective Mid-Decade Census

Grateful voters and election integrity can only be 100% effective, if the US Census Bureau gives the President a 2025 census that accurately ascertains each state’s population (current residents) and electorate (US citizens only).

COVID so disrupted the 2020 census, its response rate was 5% less than either the 2000 or 2010 census rates, and its final tally recorded the second lowest US population growth rate ever (source: USCB). If 10 million illegal aliens entered the US from 2020 to 2024, odds are non-citizens were miscounted in 2020. How accurate was the count, if Republicans purged 17 million died-or-moved names from state voter rolls between 2016 and 2020 (source: Brennan Center for Justice)? And, it’s not like the GOP was purging names in deep-blue states, right?

That purge of ghost voters allowed the GOP to pick up 13 House seats in 2020; so, they purged another 2 million names before 2022 and untold millions before 2024. That inaccuracy was corroborated by the latest INED estimate of 347,000,000 Americans (not 330,000,000), and the National Association of Realtors analysis of 2023’s top in-migration states (fifteen red states added 1,268,000 residents, three purple states added 111,000, and two blue states added only 33,000).

When deep-blue California had net out-migration of 700,000 from 2020 to 2022, and New York lost 102,000 folks in 2023, the incentive for Democrats to resort to election subterfuge in blue states, cities and precincts is obvious, especially when TARD’s apportionment forecast shows red states gaining 13 House seats in 2030. If they’re going to cheat, shrink the prize.

What’s At Stake?

As a practical matter, a representative democracy – based on real numbers – ensures federal funds are correctly apportioned to each state, growing precincts get better representation in Congress, and growing states have more influence over who becomes the nation’s president. Completing Jobs One, Two and Three should result in GOP majorities of 240-195 in the House and 56-44 in the Senate after the 2026 mid-terms, allowing Trump to fix the mess Obama and Biden left behind.

As a political matter, a super-majority of voters want open-and-honest elections and “US citizen” status withheld from un-documented immigrants (AKA illegal aliens). There are almost 50 Democrats in Congress from red states that will benefit from more government funds, extra House seats, and more electoral votes. Why on earth would Florida Democrat Debbie Wasserman Schultz vote against bills that benefit Florida? She wouldn’t…

…especially in a rapidly growing district where 46% voted against her in 2024. The fact of the matter is the America First movement has turned her into a “third party” member; so, she – and a host of other vulnerable red-state pols – should NOT put her party before her state. No joke, because the similarities between today’s Democrats and the Whigs of 1854 are uncanny (if you don’t know much about the Whigs, you get my point).

Here’s the deal. Democrats think Trump will attack them on their battlefield (i.e. the judicial system). Wrong! His battlefield is the ballot box, where he kicked their butts coast to coast in 2024 – in early voting and on Election Day – and where he can make it harder for Democrats to cheat. Because Trump knows that, if Democrats cannot regain Congress, the full restoration of America will get done.
