Is Trump Is Trying to Steal the Mid-term Elections?

by John M Repp

Of course, Trump will try to steal the midterm 2026 elections. He already tried to change the results of the 2020 election. To be part of the MAGA coalition, a person must say that Trump won the 2020 election and that it was stolen from him. Will he be able to steal the 2026 midterms? Will he prevent the Democrats from achieving control of the House and Senate?

On Thursday July 16, 2026, Trump gave a primetime speech which was broadcast on FOX and CBS, but not on ABC and NBC. He said our voting system in the United States cannot be trusted and he made the claim that China helped Democrats steal the election from him. That is the current version of his big lie. We must remember that there were over 60 court cases that he lost trying to prove his assertions because there was no evidence for his claims.

On August 28, 2026, we learned that Trump is trying to use the US Postal Service to prevent the mailing of ballots that do not match a list of registered voters supplied by the White House. The lie that they say makes this procedure necessary is that many people not registered to vote are voting. They say many of those are immigrants who are not legal citizens.

Trump wants the Federal Government to take over our elections. The Constitution is clear: the states run elections.

It is Trump who wants to steal the 2026 midterms. He is very unpopular after more than a year and a half into his second term: due to the crisis of “affordability”, and due to his policies on tariffs, the war in Iran and his unprecedented corruption “in plain sight”.

ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) has been attempting to round-up people not born in the U.S., people who came to the United States for asylum because they were facing danger in their native country. This policy is very unpopular and divisive.

While I was in Mexico, I met people who had gone north to the U.S. They worked part of the year and then went back to their families. One fellow showed me the house he bought after working in the U.S. for a number of years. He talked openly and with pride. The Mexicans I met did not want to leave their families and remain in the United States. They would go back to Mexico every year to be with their families. They paid into Social Security and other programs and would never collect what they put in. They just wanted to work.

Yes, borders can be fortified and offices set up that can give people permission to work here. We have done that more than a few times in our history. We do need more workers right now.

Climate change is also moving people around. Trump says climate change is a hoax, but climate change is real. There are now (July 21, 2026) at least 72 uncontained fires happening in the United States. There were also unprecedented heat waves, here and around the world, this summer. There is unprecedented flooding. A warmer atmosphere absorbs more water and causes more rain. We need to follow through on our commitment to stop climate change.

We need to concentrate now on preventing Trump and the many sycophants supporting him from stealing the midterm elections. Indivisible, the folks who organized the NO Kings demonstrations are working to ensure that our elections will be fair. The ACLU, the League of Women Voters, and many other groups also are working to ensure free and fair elections.
