Two news items, seemingly unrelated, came across my desk in the last few hours — both indicating that there might be a level of cheating planned for 2024 that would make 2020 blue with envy.
During the week of March 16, records show that 386,422 people attempted to register to vote throughout the country — without a photo ID. More than a third of a million in one week.
It gets weirder.
Of those 386,422 attempts, 277,077 of them were in a single state.
Texas.
Of those 277,077 attempts to register to vote without a photo ID in Texas, 196,578 were indeed registered to vote. The 80,499 remainder consisted of either repeats or rejects.
This is all according to public sources published on Twitter/X by the End Wokeness account.
Look at the figures for the year so far.

The number of voters registering without a photo ID is SKYROCKETING in 3 key swing states:
Arizona, Texas, and Pennsylvania.
Since the start of 2024:
TX: 1,250,710
PA: 580,513
AZ: 220,731
HAVV allows voters to register with a Social Security Number (4…
I kept scrolling for "Community Notes" showing how these numbers are purely imaginary, made up for disinformation purposes.
But no.
Instead what I found was Elon Musk himself replying to End Wokeness with two words: "Extremely concerning."
Before you get too concerned, Fox News' Kyle Becker reminded his followers that it's a "risky conclusion to draw" that it's illegal aliens signing up in droves to illegally vote. "These viral reports are based on the Social Security Administration's database for Help America Vote Verification transactions," and, as I wrote above, "these transactions do not mean automatic voter registrations. They are verification checks through state govt agencies, including depts. of motor vehicles."
But not all is well in the Lone Star State. Becker continued:
Texas election laws are problematic in that one can request a mail-in ballot with only the last four digits of a Social Security Number.
Social Security Numbers are often assigned for work permits or for Lawful Permanent Residents. However, illegal aliens can and do receive Social Security Numbers "with DHS authorization" and pay billions in contributions every year.
Texas might be Red overall, but there are plenty of Blue cities where local officials might turn a blind eye — or even actively engage — in Democrat attempts to stuff the voter roles with illegals.
Again, I must remind you, we just don't know yet.
But to give you an idea of what's at stake if the Democrats truly are bloating the voter roles in places like Texas and Arizona, let's go back to End Wokeness.
The same exact playbook Dems used for California is playing out in TX (2nd most populous state in the US).

Let's back up a little.
California used to be a red state.
Republicans won 8 out of 9 presidential elections during the mid-1900s.
Even in L.A. itself, the GOP won 6… pic.twitter.com/ZAMYHab9y0
And again, Musk chimed in: "America would become a permanent one-party, deep blue socialist state."
Well, yeah.
That brings us to that second story I came across that, at first, seemed entirely unrelated. The headline at the Washington Examiner reads, "90% of illegal immigrants in secret program flown to Florida and Texas," but that only tells half the story.
Here's the beef: "Some 347,959 migrants allowed into the secretive system fly directly to airports in Florida and Texas, with Florida receiving the vast majority at 325,995, according to an analysis of U.S. Customs and Border Protection numbers by the Center for Immigration Studies."
Texas and Florida are the GOP's electoral college linchpins. Take those away — perhaps by any means necessary and/or available — and it's exactly what Musk just warned us about.
Stay tuned. I'll post more as soon as I know more.

It's impossible to predict how this will all play out, specifically. But I'm reminded of something my friend and colleague Stephen Kruiser has said on our "Five O'Clock Somewhere" video live chat on several occasions: If we lose this election, we lose the republic. It's true that politicians on both sides want their people to believe that of every election, but Stephen isn't prone to hyperbole about this kind of thing — and I believe him.
