The Elitist Media continue to frame any effort at improving the nation’s election integrity as an attack against our democracy, or some variant thereof. The latest such frame comes via a notorious political operator who continues to masquerade as a “journalist.”Watch as ABC’s George Stephanopoulos introduces an interview with two like-minded Republicans opposed to the voter integrity executive order:This is a recurring theme for Stephanopoulos, who set up today’s segment with a similarly-framed report on Good Morning America:This is how the media frame any attempt at securing our elections. Election reform laws in Florida, Georgia, and other states were smeared as “voter suppression acts.” These outlets gave oxygen to efforts to remove the 2021 All-Star Game from Atlanta due to the passage of such a law, for example. And they are attempting a similar play now.The Save America Act, for example, draws scant mention on these outlets despite having broad support from the American people. The requirement of voter ID and proof of citizenship before registering to vote, much less voting, is treated as a horrendous attack on democracy. So, too, are efforts to secure mail ballots.This is where today’s segment comes in, which serves to promote a lawsuit to be filed by a group called the “States United Democracy Center”, co-founded by MS NOW frequent flier Norm Eisen, seeking to overturn the executive order on mail ballots.The segment featured the idea of contrast by booking two Republicans, but no real ideological balance inasmuch as they were both opposed to the executive order. So it was basically 10 minutes of bashing the EO, with no one on hand to defend it on the merits.Thus ABC assumes the editorial position that any effort to secure our election is a subversion or an attack, or some other catastrophic undermining of our democratic principles. This begs the question: what democratic principles are upheld by curtailing election integrity, blocking commonsense voter ID, or stalling ballot transparency? After years of watching nearly EVERYTHING framed as an “attack on democracy”, it is wild to see the media obstruct efforts to defend it.Click “expand” to view the full transcript of the aforementioned segment as aired on ABC This Week on Sunday, April 5th, 2026:
DONALD TRUMP: I’m very happy to be signing the Voter Integrity and I think it’s going to be really great. So if you don’t mind, I will take some time and I’ll make the signature absolutely perfect.
I don’t see how anybody can challenge it. I don’t see how they can challenge it. And remember, it’s about voter integrity. We want to have honest voting in our country.
