Former President Donald Trump issued an urgent call for action to his fellow Republicans over what he called “the biggest story of the year,” namely a survey showing that 20 percent of mail-in voters admitted to committing at least one kind of voter fraud in the 2020 election.
The Heartland/Rasmussen poll, released on Dec. 12, suggests concerning levels of voter fraud in the 2020 election, bolstering President Trump’s longstanding claim that he was cheated out of a victory amid an explosion in mail-in ballots combined with state-level moves by the courts that made it easier to cheat.
The new survey shows 17 percent of mail-in voters admitting to voting in a state where they are no longer permanent residents; 21 percent filling out ballots for others; 17 percent signing ballots for family members without consent, and 8 percent reporting offers of “pay” or “reward” for their vote.
What’s more, 10 percent of all respondents to the survey (carried on a representative sample of 1,085 likely voters) said they know a friend, family member, co-worker, or other acquaintance who admitted to casting a mail-in ballot fraudulently.
Over 43 percent of 2020 votes were cast by mail, which is the highest percentage in U.S. history.
“Taken together, the results of these survey questions appear to show that voter fraud was widespread in the 2020 election, especially among those who cast mail-in ballots,” the Heartland Institute, a conservative and libertarian public policy think tank, said in a statement.
‘Biggest Story of The Year’
President Trump, who is the frontrunner for the GOP nomination in the 2024 race for the White House, took to social media to call on Republicans to take action in response to the survey’s shocking results.
“This is the biggest story of the year, and Republicans must do something about it,” the former president wrote. Further, he suggested that unless something is done quickly to address the problem of voter fraud, the issue will cast a pall over the 2024 election.
“Have to make a move now,” President Trump continued. “Get tough, get smart. Our country is being stolen!”
While Democrats and their allies claim that election fraud is little more than a myth, President Trump has said for years that voter fraud is a pervasive problem in U.S. politics —and insists he was robbed of a win in the 2020 election.
In a recent interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” the former president spoke about what went into his decision to challenge the results.
“I was listening to different people. And when I added it all up, the election was rigged,” he said, adding that it was his choice to contest the results because “I won the election.”
‘Nothing Short of Stunning’
While Democrats and their allies, along with some in the scientific community, argue that voter fraud was so small in the 2020 elections as to be negligible, the findings of the Heartland/Rasmussen survey bolster President Trump’s claims that he was robbed of victory.
Justin Haskins, the director of Heartland’s Socialism Research Center and primary author of the Heartland/Rasmussen survey, said in a statement that the results of the poll are “nothing short of stunning.”
“For the past three years, Americans have repeatedly been told that the 2020 election was the most secure in history. But if this poll’s findings are reflective of reality, the exact opposite is true,” Mr. Haskins said. “This conclusion isn’t based on conspiracy theories or suspect evidence, but rather from the responses made directly by the voters themselves.”
Some progress has been made on election integrity measures in over a dozen states in the aftermath of the 2020 election, Mr. Haskins acknowledged. He insisted, however, that “much more” work is needed in most parts of the country to bolster the integrity of elections—and voter confidence that the results reflect the actual will of the people.
“If America’s election laws do not improve soon, voters and politicians will continue to question the truthfulness and fairness of all future elections,” Mr. Haskins said.
Some states have reformed their laws and procedures amid widespread vote integrity worries prompted by the 2020 presidential election controversy. However, according to conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation, more needs to be done.
The group’s Election Integrity Scorecard shows that not a single state in the country has a perfect score in a checklist of 12 possible problem spots, including voter ID, accuracy of voter registration lists, and absentee ballot management.
Tennessee has the best election integrity procedures in the country, with a score of 88 (out of a possible 100), followed by Georgia at 84, Alabama at 82, and Missouri at 83.
Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation, recently wrote that “no state in the country has a perfect score of 100, which means everyone has some work to do.”
In order to make elections more secure and build shore-up public confidence that the declared results are legitimate, states should ensure that election officials maintain current, accurate voter rolls, he argues.
Further, they should require photo identification to cast a vote, both in person and absentee, according to Mr. Von Spakovsky, who also argues for a ban on partisan funding of state and local election offices.
He pointed to the Heritage Foundation’s Election Fraud Database as a constantly updated record of various cases of voter fraud from across the country.
“In an era of razor-thin elections, guarding against this type of illegal behavior, as well as errors made by election officials, is especially important,” he wrote.
“In 2024, it could prove critical.”

Georgia is number 2? They must be excluding Fulton County.
Trump demands action by Republicans?!?
BWAAAHHHAAAHAHHAAA!!
In 2016 I was doing volunteer work through a local group that was coordinated by NGO’s like Lutheran Family and Catholic charities and Volunteer for America.
Even at that time almost every project was focused on ‘refugees’ and ‘immigration’ pipeline populations. Every project could be distilled to into two objectives: facilitating access to public benefits and activating identity political affiliation into the permanent Democrat party institutions.
When Orange Man was making all the pear-shaped stronk girls working in those NGO’s crazier than their SSRI habit could quell, these organizations ALL started running regular ‘outreach and education’ programs in advance of the election.
These were 100% democrat partisan operated. They were on site and hands on with these populations. Door to door, inside housing facilities, and piggy-backed onto every other regular program. There were never any oversight or observers or neutral parties monitoring any of it.
I was teaching art and swimming/sports lessons to groups of kids from these populations. The NGOs would schedule events specifically to target refugee women and young potential voters. They would provide food and gift bags and other material goodies provided by yet other NGO’s under the guise of serving the “underserved.”
Programs like backpacks full of school supplies for school, diapers and formula etc for expecting and new mothers, sleeping bags and bedding drives, etc. Then each program would spend time handing out these goodies and running voter registration and ‘election workshops’ to educate them on Our Democracy in tandem.
The messaging was explicit. To both the mothers and the kids and the few fathers that were around.
“These things are possible because the democrats protect our social programs”
“The republicans want to end these programs”
“The republicans want to send you back [to the refugee camp / civil war”
“If Trump wins he will end these programs/ He will try to send you back”
“If Trump wins you will lose your [housing/EBT/Job/Voucher]”
“If Trump wins he will put your [illegal] dad/husband in jail”
After they all registered Democrat, some time later they all got help filling out their mail in ballots. I saw it. I was there. They were all quite open about their objective, but they all had some training as they avoided anything formal that could be traced back their partisan directive.
When Orange Man came down the escalator there was real panic. I remember a kid in tears because he remembers how much those fat white chicks with masters degrees in navel gazing had told them about all the bad things that were going to happen. I talked him down but then never returned to any of those organizations.
That was all well before the 2020 awkwardness.
The problem of “voting” is systemic, institutionalized, trojan horsed, and entirely funded by the uniparty and NGO feeder networks that are 100% partisan – and in every state, city, and county. The cancer is everywhere and cannot be restored from within.
Your shared experiences are shocking. The capacity for democrat-evil is now boundless, and their thirst for ultimate power over our Constitutional Republic should frighten every U.S. citizen. These NGO’s are playing an active role in undermining the very country that has made their very existence possible.
The total lack of transparency the odd series of mail in ballots arriving under questionable chain of custody practices in the late hours when little attention is being paid to the overall operation and it’s all the swing states in the nick of time to drag Dementia Joe to the Oval Office !
The fraud was obvious to any reasonable person ! Now add the leftist J6 treasonous Committee determined to stop any protest about the election as insurrection while the true insurrectionists are the majority of leftist democrats holding on desperately to power to destroy the republic
Well they are doing it every second and the Obama Deception is on full display !
Every aspect of American life is circling the drain thanks to the theft of the 2020 election and the previous weaponization Of every alphabet agency by Obamanation against the constitution and bill Of Rights
The WEF / NWO / WHO & UN agendas all in lock step now add divisions of military age men illegals flooding across the border with little or no accountability as to who what and where they are 30,000 a month that’s 2 military divisions every month
WTF
If no one voted there would either be no fraud or the fraud would be so obvious that everyone would have to acknowledge it.
JUST SAY NO!
I don’t like Trump much, but he is absolutely correct.
He’s in on it.
It seems so. Still, recount, just to shut up the idjits who still think it was legit.
It was Trump’s CISA (signed into law in a stand-alone bill in 2018) that endorsed mail-in ballots. It was also Trump’s CISA that issued a report validating the results of the 2020 election.
Trump was a WEF-owned stooge from the day he came down the escalator and announced his candidacy in 2015. It amazes me that his talking points are still taken seriously.
If Georgia is number two, we’re fucked when it comes to “election integrity”. Come to think of it, “election integrity” is a contradiction in terms if you think about it.
