ALARMING: Tens of Thousands of Voter Registrations Without IDs Discovered in Swing State — One Day from Critical Elections

"Let’s hope that the elections on Tuesday don’t amplify the reasons to demand election integrity now."

America is one day away from critical elections in states across the country:

• A New York City mayor’s race pitting an Islamocommunist candidate versus a disgraced former governor and a lifelong conservative activist;

• A black female Republican deputy governor versus a “former” CIA analyst are facing off in the Commonwealth of Virginia amid a nasty texting scandal;

• A Republican businessman and two-timed failed gubernatorial candidate in the State of New Jersey who may actually win this time;

• And a Proposition 50 in the State of California that would double down on the rampant gerrymandering of the Not-So-Golden State.

Yet amid all of the drama unfolding during these off-year elections, looming in the background are major questions about the integrity of America’s voting system.

A bombshell new report reveals that in one single swing state alone, more than 41,000 voter registrations were discovered lacking any known form of identification, a number that is nearly double the total from the 2020 election.

Indeed, there are still major questions lingering from that election debacle and the disastrous fallout, as was shown in a comprehensive report suggesting that Donald Trump very well may have beaten Joe Biden in that critical presidential race.

In the heart of the battleground Midwest, a quiet but damning update has emerged: according to data obtained from the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL), more than 41,000 voter registration records in Wisconsin fail to match entries in the state’s Department of Transportation (WisDOT) driver or ID database.

WILL’s breakdown includes 11,174 registrations missing a driver’s license number (up from 4,885 in 2020), 24,733 registrations where the name does not fully match WisDOT records (up from 15,260), 3,110 registrations where date of birth doesn’t match WisDOT records, and 2,069 registrations for which no WisDOT match could be found at all.

The number of mismatched registrations has nearly doubled since the 2020 cycle—a red flag that election officials and legislators alike should not ignore.

The mismatches do not automatically equate to fraud. In the words of Lucas Vebber, deputy counsel for WILL, they are not claiming that these 40,000 votes were fraudulent. It could be something innocuous, or it could be something more serious.

Yet the size of the discrepancy demands scrutiny. The fact that online registrations appear subject to an instant cross check against WisDOT records, while paper/hand written forms follow “a separate process” (which election officials refuse to fully describe) only adds to the concern.

Under federal law, states must regularly update and verify their voter rolls, including cross referencing registration data with agencies like the DMV. The Help America Vote Act (HAVA) mandates such maintenance. Wisconsin’s failure, or inconsistent process, to match 41,000+ records suggests possible non compliance.

Earlier this month, a Waukesha County judge ordered the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) to verify all registrations against state ID data and to launch a review of existing rolls for possible non citizens. That ruling has since been stayed, pending further hearings.

Wisconsin remains a razor thin swing state: in 2020, the margin separating the winner from the loser was just 20,000 votes or so. When over 41,000 registration records are mismatched—and the actual number might be higher—the potential for diluted or disputed ballots becomes a live risk.

Furthermore, mismatches in name, date of birth, or license number raise the possibility of duplicate registrations, outdated lists, registrations of individuals who moved out of state or died, or registrations entered with incomplete verification. Even if only a small percentage of those 41,000 translated into actual votes, the margin in a key race could shift.

WILL has called for greater transparency from the WEC and for the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate. Yet the WEC has offered little detail about how paper registrations are verified—and how mismatched records are handled. The question posed by watchdogs is straightforward: if the data and process exist, why are over 41,000 registrations still unverified?

To restore confidence, the state needs to publish a clear breakdown of mismatches and how they are resolved, ensure all new registrations are verified in real time—online and paper, clean up the existing roll by resolving or removing mismatched entries, and fully comply with HAVA requirements and cooperate with federal oversight.

In Pennsylvania, the situation is no less alarming. Lancaster County District Attorney Heather Adams confirmed a major voter registration fraud operation after 2,500 suspicious applications were received near the registration deadline. Many of the forms contained similar handwriting and false or mismatched personal data. Investigators concluded that roughly 60% of the reviewed applications were fraudulent — many linked to paid canvassing efforts concentrated in urban and suburban areas.

In that election, Bucks County Democrats defied a Pennsylvania Supreme Court and controversially counted misdated provisional ballots. However, following legal challenges, a state court ordered those ballots excluded from the final certified results. Importantly, control of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court is also on the ballot this year, with three Democratic justices up for retention elections.

In Virginia, a Republican primary was rocked by chain-of-custody failures and absentee ballot irregularities. Observers allege ballot drop box seals were broken, ballots were processed before observers could watch, and no clear records exist for how many ballots were retrieved — all in apparent violation of Virginia election law.

Amid growing skepticism about the 2020 election, new polling published by The Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports found that more than one in four mail-in voters admitted to committing at least one form of voter fraud — such as voting in a state where they no longer live or filling out ballots for others.

Analysts conclude that, had these ballots been disqualified, Trump would have won all six key swing states and secured a 311-227 Electoral College victory.

These findings are disturbing, and they are exacerbated by the Democratic Party’s fight against any form of common sense election integrity measures. Amid this concerning backdrop, there are renewed calls among conservatives for stricter safeguards: universal paper ballots, mandatory photo ID, proof of citizenship, and a return to a single-day voting system.

Let’s hope that the elections on Tuesday don’t amplify the reasons to demand election integrity now.
