Four Senate Seats Short

It Will Take The Grassroots Reforming State Election Laws To Save Our Country

Despite President Donald Trump’s ‘Too Big To Rig’ election victory, there were many disappointing down ballot races that Republicans lost.

Most notably, four U.S. Senate seats in states where President Trump won were likely lost due to election fraud:

• Kari Lake in Arizona D’Souza: Investigate Kari Lake’s Stolen Senate Race
• Sam Brown in Nevada Documents Reveal Nevada Officials Deleted Mail Ballot Totals
• Mike Rogers in Michigan Michigan Senate Vote Tallies Go Down — Favoring Slotkin
• Eric Hovde in Wisconsin Hovde Winning Race Until Staggering Late Night Vote Drop

33 states held U.S. Senate elections this November. In every state that Kamala Harris won, the Democratic Senate candidate on the ballot also won (15 states). But in only 14 of the 18 states where President Trump won, did the Republican Senate candidate also win, despite President Trump’s ballot dominance.

Of the four Republican Senate candidates who lost in Trump states, Mike Rogers in Michigan conceded quickly and directly pivoted to seeking the nomination as Trump’s next FBI Director. In Nevada, West Point graduate, Purple Heart recipient, and businessman Sam Brown waited days before he conceded, but as we’ve repeatedly seen, the longer Democrats extend the vote counting, the more votes the Democrats gain against their opponents.

To their credit, both Kari Lake (AZ) and Eric Hovde (WI) declined to concede the first week after Election Day. Hovde explained why he wasn’t rushing to concede despite his lower vote totals. Hovde highlighted Milwaukee’s suspicious outsized 3A.M. ballot drop, inconsistent voting patterns, and multiple precincts reporting over 100% turnout – even over 200% turnout — results that highlight the corruption same day voter registration makes possible.

Hovde acknowledged that a recount was a problematic course since a recount does not look at the integrity of the ballots. This is a reality too many people do not understand. Once an illegal or fraudulent vote is cast, a recount simply tallies up all the votes again, yielding the same result. Illegal and fraudulent ballots must be stopped before they are ‘cast’.

On November 18, after waiting almost two weeks post-election, Eric Hovde did concede the Wisconsin Senate race. It’s worth noting that even one week after the problematic Wisconsin election there was still no significant public outcry from the RNC — despite ample indications of rampant vote fraud occurring — especially in Milwaukee. Acknowledging the hard work of his supporters, Eric Hovde was correct not to concede WITHOUT INVESTIGATING the election… but after two weeks without a growing groundswell or significant public support FROM THE RNC, Eric Hovde conceded.

While some may (and have) criticize Hovde for ‘giving up too soon’, the lack of pushback from the Washington DC Republican establishment against Wisconsin’s egregious and expected election ‘irregularities’ is where the blame lies. A similar case can be made about Washoe County votes in Nevada in Sam Brown’s election, as well as the Arizona and Michigan races.

In Arizona, more than one pundit noted the anomalous election results in Kari Lake’s race, opining that it was almost as if Kari Lake’s and Ruben Gallegos’s vote totals were switched. Arizonians now wait to see if Lake will join the Trump administration or run for Governor again in a 2026 rematch against Katie Hobbes.

Happily, Republicans successfully flipped the Pennsylvania Senate seat. Dave McCormick’s victory, however, could easily have been a loss if it weren’t for a grassroots groundswell repeatedly calling out illegal election practices. Credit must be given to the many on-the-ground activists in the state who led the Pennsylvania efforts — which the RNC followed. We can all be grateful for Scott Pressler training citizens (many of them middle-aged or senior citizens) to go door-to-door for Republicans; to Turning Point which targeted college students and the youth vote especially; and to Audit the Vote PA who monitored publicly available election data for discrepancies in voter registration details to ensure election integrity.

Note that when Scott Pressler and other Pennsylvania citizens spoke in the Buck County, Pennsylvania hearing, it was a standing-room-only capacity crowd plus media. Unquestionably, the local, grassroots energy made the difference in Pennsylvania for President Trump and Senator-Elect Dave McCormick.

One reality is apparent. The Republican Uniparty does Not Want such a large U.S. Senate super-majority that RINO senators like Mitch McConnell (KY), Lisa Murkowski (AK), Susan Collins (ME), and now John Curtis (UT) cannot effectively block Trump’s agenda by bolting and voting with the Democrats. Hence, the lesson for the grassroots is that relying on the RNC to help challenge fraudulent elections doesn’t work. Election integrity efforts must begin and be driven at the local level.

Besides the problematic U.S. Senate races, Republicans lost multiple congressional races across the country that should have been won, and whose dubious results can be attributed to practices such as vote-by-mail, same day voter registration, AVR (automatic voter registration) and no voter ID requirements. Yes, the Republicans will have slim control of both houses in the next Congress, however, the Republican margin in the House of Representatives should be far wider, (230 or above), just as the Republican majority in the Senate should be a solid 56 – 44 majority.

What Do We Need To Do!

In 2025, America First conservative, grassroots policy organizations must turn their attention to local and state politics and focus on passing state election reforms – something that didn’t happen in the states after either President Trump’s 2020 re-election ‘loss’ or in the last two years after the 2022 midterm elections — when the expected Red Wave turned into the ‘red mirage’. We can’t save America if we don’t have honest, transparent elections. It’s past time for single-issue, conservative policy organizations such as pro-life, pro-family, Second Amendment, anti-illegal immigration, education, and low-tax organizations to look beyond their singular focus and join the fight to restore transparency and honesty to America’s election systems and practices. If these groups don’t engage in the battle for election integrity, they will lose their policy battles, and we will all soon lose our freedoms.

We Americans have much to be grateful for this Thanksgiving, and much work still to do for God and country. God bless America. God bless you and your families.
