THE BERNHARD PERSPECTIVE
Reports indicate that at least twelve Republican-led states turned over their voter rolls to the Federal Government. It is estimated that up to 62 million voters have been checked through the DHS/SAVE (Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements) project and four hundred thousand have been flagged for purging.
These would be mostly older people with a majority being women. Roughly half would be MAGA voters, dead or alive. This is all in furtherance of T****’s election-denying hallucination; if we can only get out hands on those voter rolls, we can prove that fraud once and for all. Massive voter fraud.Yeah you betcha.
However, one of the biggest promoters of T****’s Big Lie, the ultra-Conservative Heritage Foundation has soiled itself by debunking the whole concept of vote fraud once and for all. They did it by trying to prove it was true, but all they did really was their homework.
The truth is that the Foundation’s own voter fraud database—often cited in political debates—has failed to show large-scale fraud. Their own dataset has documented on the order of roughly 1,000–1,100 proven cases of voter fraud across the entire United States over multiple decades. This spans a period in which hundreds of millions to over a billion ballots, with a substantial portion being older incidents with some dating back to the mid-20th century, meaning the rate of confirmed fraud cases is extremely small relative to total votes.
One breakdown found that only about 105 of 749 cases occurred within a recent five-year window, and that across billions of votes, there were just about 10 documented cases of in-person voter impersonation, the type of fraud most often cited in public debate.
Put in proportional terms, even using Heritage’s own data, the incidence rate is calculated as 0.000007%, an almost negligent number on the order of seven millionths of total votes cast. One summary based on the database estimated a mere hundreds of cases out of more than a roughly one billion ballots, underscoring how infrequent such incidents are at a national scale.
Independent analyses, such as those from the Brennan Center for Justice, conclude that the database itself “adds up to a molecular fraction” of total votes and therefore inadvertently demonstrates that voter fraud is “vanishingly rare.”
In short, the substantive figures from Heritage’s own dataset show that while instances of voter fraud do exist, they are numerically insignificant, widely dispersed over time, and their effects are statistically negligible compared to the total volume of voting in U.S. elections.
So there it is. The Heritage Foundation, the outfit that created Project 2025 and hammered home T****’s insistace about winning the 2020 election finally did it’s own research and came a cropper. In one self-defeating moment, it called its own bluff, was forced to acknowledge the truth, and had to take it all back.
The election was fair. There was no voter fraud. Donald T**** lost.
All the rest is fantasy.
