AUDIT ALL EARLY VOTES and HAND-COUNT ALL THE BALLOTS. LET THE PHYSICAL EVIDENCE SPEAK FOR ITSELF. To all Republicans in relevant offices nationwide: Don’t wait for President Trump’s DOJ or DHS. Republicans in red states have the authority, subject to applicable state election laws, to demand rigorous election audits and pursue full, county-by-county hand recounts to verify reported results. Every Republican-controlled state House and Senate should immediately introduce and pass legislation requiring a comprehensive audit of all early votes and a full hand-count of every ballot cast for the 2026 midterm election. State legislatures possess substantial constitutional authority over election administration and should exercise that authority to ensure transparency, accuracy, and public confidence in election results. States need not wait for Washington to act, but any new measures must comply with federal law, existing state requirements, and applicable election deadlines. Republicans in blue states should demand comprehensive audits, while Republican governors, secretaries of state, and election officials in GOP-controlled states, including Florida and Texas, should pursue two immediate measures: Conduct a comprehensive audit of all early and mail-in ballots. Conduct a full, county-by-county hand count of physical ballots to independently verify electronically reported totals before certification, wherever legally permissible. The 2026 midterm election results raise serious questions that deserve transparent, evidence-based examination. Consider Texas. In previous nonpresidential election cycles, Democrats reportedly averaged approximately 3.5 million votes, compared with 4.5 million for Republicans. What explains the reported increase of approximately 1.7 million Democratic votes? More importantly, if Democratic vote totals increased by approximately 24% across virtually every Texas county, that pattern warrants careful statistical scrutiny. Was it the result of unusually high turnout, changing voter preferences, or discrepancies in electronic tabulation? I am particularly concerned about the possibility of irregularities involving mail-in ballots, early-vote tabulation, or county-level reporting before November 3. These concerns should be investigated, not presumed to establish wrongdoing. The solution is straightforward: COUNT THE PHYSICAL BALLOTS. VERIFY THE ELECTRONIC TOTALS. RECONCILE EVERY DISCREPANCY. Election integrity should never be a partisan issue. Americans deserve independently verifiable results, regardless of which party wins.
