From late-night ballot dumps to shady drop boxes and mysteriously malfunctioning machines, trust in our elections hasn't just eroded—it's literally collapsed in a heap, with hardly any sign of life.

And no one knows that better than President Trump.

After what he went through, it's not a surprise that Trump has made election integrity a big focus in his return. And right now he's not just sounding the alarm—he's actually doing something about it. In very typical Trump fashion, he's using the "Art of the Deal" to put maximum pressure on the states and hit them where it hurts most: in their pocketbook.

This time, Trump's got what may be the secret sauce to finally fixing our broken election system—tie federal funding to clean, honest elections.

Can it work?

Well, just look at the track record…

DC Draino:

Trump withheld $400 million from Columbia and they changed their campus policies against Hamas supporters

Trump withheld federal funding from Maine and they banned men from women's sports

Now Trump is withholding federal funding from states that don't improve election integrity

Guess what's going to happen

This hopeful plot twist comes on the heels of another move and actually plays right into it: a sweeping election integrity executive order just signed by President Trump—proof that he's not just talking about fixing our broken system; he's forcing the issue straight down the Left's throat. Let's hope he keeps the pressure on and sees it through, because as a nation, we can't keep going like this.
