By Wayne Allyn RootSomething smells rotten and rancid in the 2026 midterm election.I was the first in the media to boldly report that while Republicans made many mistakes and made many enemies among voters, the results were absurd, ridiculous, and literally impossible- and the election was rigged and stolen.It turns out the American people have woken up.My bold opinion is now popular with the voters- if not the dumb, clueless GOP leadership.“Wall Street Apes” is a popular social media account on X with 1.4 million followers. It’s not a political account. It’s a stock market news account.They just asked their followers a simple question. “Do you believe the 2026 midterm elections in America were rigged?”The vote was 92% rigged vs. 8% not rigged.https://x.com/WallStreetApes/status/2119590396707901693?a=VZMbpxTk9_YDs_I0zPQ&s=20There were plenty of valid reasons and excuses for the GOP loss. The general consensus- among both the right and left- is that the GOP was crushed in a landslide because of the Iran war…and high gas prices…and inflation.I know and understand the problems, controversies, and all the mistakes made by the GOP. Especially the worthless, cowardly, “do-nothing” GOP Senate.And then there’s my personal “pet peeve”- the GOP’s TV ads were the worst of my lifetime. I’ll get to that in an upcoming column.But if any of those reasons held true, wouldn’t GOP voters have stayed home?In the last midterm in 2022, 54 million voters turned out nationally- and elected a GOP House and Senate.This time around 55 million GOP voters turned out- and we lost.Yes, the GOP vote went up. So how did we lose in a landslide? Simple. The Democrat vote went up by 20 million.TWENTY MILLION.In Texas it was even worse. The two terrible Texas candidates – Gina “the nobody sacrificial lamb” who looks like a teenage girl; and weirdo James Tailfreako, who thinks there are six genders, and believes Jesus is queer- both set all-time records for Democrat votes.Both won by about two million votes more than Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris. And they did it in a low-turnout midterm election. That is statistically impossible.So, where did all these phantom votes come from?Simple. 20 million new Democrat voters nationwide, and three million new Democrat voters in Texas, came from the same place…Joe Biden (and his boss Obama) imported 20 to 25 million new illegal aliens into America from 2021 to 2024.Over 12 million illegal aliens entered America through the Texas border alone. And you still wonder where three million new Democrat voters came from in Texas?Then the Biden administration, and Soros-funded NGOs, and Catholic Charities, and other supposed non-profit groups (who are paid billions of dollars by the US government) arranged for them to get $10,000 Visa cards, welfare, food stamps, free phones, free housing, free healthcare (Medicaid), registered them all to vote (without Voter ID or proof of citizenship), and taught them all to vote Democrat if they want to stay in the USA, and keep the freebies and welfare checks coming. SIMPLE.Just two weeks ago a new study came out showing that the state of California gives the average illegal alien family about $100,000 a year in benefits.Days ago, another study came out showing there are well over three million illegal aliens voting in California.Are you getting the picture?This is “The Great Replacement” meets “Cloward-Piven.”First, Democrats brought in 20 to 25 million new illegal aliens from 2021 to 2024 to replace you and me. To out-vote white Americans…and middle-class Americans…and American born citizens…groups who all vote majority Republican.Then they applied the strategy called “Cloward-Piven”- designed by two Columbia University professors in the 1960’s. The plan was simple- get tens of millions of Americans addicted to welfare checks, make them dependent on government, and then they would vote Democrat forevermore to keep the checks coming.Democrats simply combined the two strategies- knowing that all these millions of illegals they waved into America through the open border required cradle-to-grave welfare.This made all these potential new non-citizen voters dependent on government checks. And they would vote Democrat forevermore to keep the checks coming, and of course, to halt deportations.Now to the final piece of the puzzle.This is the real key to making the plan work! Democrats used Covid to usher in mail-in ballots, ballot harvesting and ballot drop boxes.Why is this so important? Because many of these illegal alien foreign invaders have low IQs; no skills; can’t read, write or understand how to vote on a machine; and are scared to death of going to a polling place- where they could be questioned and arrested by ICE, or police.Mail-in ballots solve that problem- because illegal aliens can vote without ever going near a polling place, or risking capture by ICE.But perhaps more importantly, with mail-in ballots, and ballot harvesting, and ballot drop boxes, an army of thousands of Democrat activists can fill out the ballots for illegals, and mail them in.Do you get it? With mail-in voting, illegal alien voters don’t even do the actual voting. Democrats handle it all for them.Voila. 20 million new votes.Democrats weren’t quite ready in 2024 to pull it off. They needed more time to get these millions of non-citizens registered. And to make this work, they needed a midterm- when fewer Republicans come out to vote than during a Trump presidential run. 2026 was the perfect opportunity.The test case, or “model” for all of this was California.Democrats turned a Republican red state (the land of Nixon, Reagan and Pete Wilson) 100% blue by welcoming in millions of illegal aliens; giving each illegal alien family $100,000 in welfare, free healthcare and benefits; and registering them to vote. Mail-in ballots sealed the deal- making it easy and safe for all of them to vote.Guess what? Democrats have now applied this strategy to the whole country.For this midterm, they finally had all the pieces in place to rig and steal Texas- “the crown jewel” they’ve been lusting after for a decade.This is where they got three million new Democrat votes in Texas since the last midterm- all registered with no proof of citizenship.This is where they got 20 million new Democrat voters nationwide since the last midterm. This was how Democrats stole the midterms.This is the very definition of “foreign interference in our elections.”They did it by combining three powerful strategies: “The Great Replacement,” combined with “Cloward-Piven,” combined with mail-in ballots, ballot harvesting and ballot drop boxes.And we let it all happen- even after seeing what happened to California.Now the question is, will President Trump or the GOP do anything this time? Will he challenge the results? Will he declare a “National Security Emergency for Elections” based on this foreign interference in our election?Will he demand to see the ballots and machines? Is he willing to overturn the election based on massive voter fraud?These are the questions that will determine the future of America and capitalism.ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Wayne Allyn Root is a CEO, businessman, best-selling author, and national conservative TV and radio host, who has interviewed President Trump 17 times.
