In Texas, Rodney Ellis forged 750,000 ballots to steal the election from Donald Trump. Or so say the MAGA-nauts. And now Donald Trump's war on mail-in ballots has turned freakishly violent.

In this 5-minute clip, Edward Ward lays out how the Trump gang has begun a campaign of gun-toting intimidation in their war on mail-in votes. Ward tells us how to save your ballot from the vote suppressors.

While America slept, Donald Trump’s vigilante organizations, as we explain in our Jim Crow Reloaded video series, are challenging voters of color. In 2024, the Texas Trump front group True the Vote challenged over three-quarters of a million voters’ registrations. This year, they’re keeping the number secret.

You can bet that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, overseeing his own race for US Senator, will move to disqualify the ballots cast by vigilante-challenged voters. Do the vigilantes have to have proof that the voters are illegal? Nope, they just have to claim they have “reason to believe” voters are illegal. Funny, of the more than one million voters True the Vote and other Trump fronts have challenged over the past two election cycles, not one has been proven to be an “illegal” voter, which is, after all, a felony crime.

Count on Paxton to also challenge absentee ballots. Folks, mailing in your ballot is risky business. For example, the GOP just won a case that if the voter licked the outside envelope shut but did not lick the inside envelope, the ballot can be tossed out. So, “if your tongue ain’t wet, you ain’t counted yet.” There are a million gotcha tricks to disqualify mail-in ballots from “no signature match” (e.g. you signed without a middle initial) to wrong color pen.

And then there’s the provisional ballots. If you’re white, chances are you’ve never seen one of these. According to the official Ele ctions Assistance Commission records, in 2024, MORE THAN 436,000 PROVISIONAL BALLOTS WERE DISQUALIFIED. That alone re-elected Trump.
