I will be cross posting an America’s Future post focusing on a Lara Logan report entitled, “Who Dictates America’s Future? Election Integrity is National Security”. This was posted on 10/31/26.

 

The “Who Dictates America’s Future?” post is based on a Going Rogue 100^th Episode which is five minutes short of four hours long. I’m listening to that episode as I type. The first 30-minutes explains how election software was used to sweep then relatively unknown Barack Obama into the Dem nomination for President. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO WATCH THAT EPISODE even if time constraints means you watch in segments.

America’s Future

 

America’s Future Board member Lara Logan has just released a major special investigation that demands every American’s attention ahead of the 2026 midterms.

 

Protecting elections requires far more than turnout, it requires securing the full infrastructure that registers voters, processes ballots, tabulates results, and reports outcomes. Questions about foreign influence, technological vulnerabilities, and potential manipulation strike at the core of national sovereignty.

 

America’s Future believes these questions require rigorous investigation, public transparency, and evidence-based answers. The American people have the right to choose their representatives free from foreign interference or domestic manipulation. Compromising that right attacks the foundation of constitutional government. Election security is therefore a national security issue.

 

What if the software running electronic voting systems was born under a foreign regime and later weaponized in ways most Americans have never heard? That’s the explosive story Lara Logan uncovers in the landmark 100th episode of Going Rogue. She brings together former CIA officer Gary Berntsen, author Ralph Pezzullo, Venezuelan investigator Martin Rodil, and others to trace how engineers under Hugo Chávez first built the Smartmatic software that went global. They expose the recruitment of Venezuelan software engineers, the hidden labs in the Bahamas and Switzerland, and the shadowy ownership changes that followed. The conversation turns darker as they examine intelligence community penetration, how U.S. agencies and law enforcement were allegedly compromised or inactive in the face of mounting evidence, alongside the grip of cartels like the Cartel de los Soles and Tren de Aragua, and Chinese involvement in hardware components plus unrestricted warfare tactics. Former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters delivers a stark forensic account from her work with voting system images and source code.

 

Concerns about foreign connections to voting technology must be examined carefully. A company’s international ties alone do not establish wrongdoing. Investigators must determine whether specific relationships, or security weaknesses create opportunities for interference, and whether evidence demonstrates that interference occurred. Allegations involving Venezuela and election technology raise questions that verifiable records and independent technical scrutiny should address. Americans deserve to understand who develops, owns, maintains, and accesses the systems entrusted with essential election functions. Accountability requires following the evidence wherever it leads and clearly distinguishes documented findings from unresolved claims.

 

Election infrastructure extends far beyond the equipment voters encounter at a polling place. It includes voter registration databases, software, ballot processing, reporting systems, and the people and procedures responsible for protecting them. Analyses presented in Logan’s special highlight issues such as duplicate and clone registrations on voter rolls, patterns in cast vote records across multiple states, and the potential for software updates to introduce changes before polls open. Experts note that systems can face compromise even without a continuous internet connection through physical access, pre-loaded algorithms, hardware backdoors, or unauthorized modifications. A meaningful investigation must examine the entire process.

 

Security also requires examining physical access, vendor practices, and internal controls. Identifying a vulnerability is different from proving that someone exploited it. Both questions matter, and each requires its own evidence. Americans deserve explanations that make those distinctions clear. When citizens raise specific, documented concerns, institutions should respond with substantive answers. Election officials, technology providers, and agencies responsible for investigating potential interference must be accountable for their respective roles. Where weaknesses are established, corrective action should follow. Where allegations are unsupported, officials should explain the evidence publicly.

 

Meaningful transparency must allow appropriate scrutiny while protecting ballot secrecy, personal information, and sensitive security details. Public confidence grows when safeguards can be demonstrated, discrepancies can be investigated, and conclusions can withstand independent examinations.

 

Lara Logan’s panel stresses practical steps:

 

1. vote in person on Election Day when possible.

 

2. Support hand-count verification where feasible.

 

3. Demand access to public records and audit data.

 

As the 2026 midterms approach, Americans should insist on a serious, evidence-driven approach to election security. Learn how elections are administered in your community. Ask about equipment testing, ballot handling, audits, and access to public records. Report specific concerns with documentation.

 

At America’s Future, we believe protecting our republic requires informed citizens and accountable institutions. Questions about foreign influence and voting infrastructure deserve sustained attention because the stakes extend beyond any candidate or election cycle. The American people must remain in control of America’s future. Protecting the integrity of their votes is essential to that promise.

Dem-Marxist Election Fraud in Alaska

Even the Leftists are Pointing to It!

Alaskan Ballot Candidates Pictured: Dan S. Sullivan (R-Incumbent), Daniel J. Sullivan Jr (I-Decoy Dan) & Mary Peltola (D-probable criminal). Screengrab from MORNINGS WITH VANESSA – LindellTV posted 10/29/26.

The Mid-Terms are a heart skip away. And Alaska – huge in size & tiny in population – is proving that Dem-Marxists will commit Election Fraud. WHAT IS ASTOUNDING! The media rag breaking the Alaska Election scandal is the NY Times. The same Left-Wing rag that suffers heavily from Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS).

 

Here’s the short version of the Alaskan Election Fraud Scandal:

 

First off, Alaska operates an idiotic ranking voting system. Which  means regardless of Party affiliation (or lack thereof), the top four candidates with the most ballots during the Primaries are on the General Election ballot. The current Alaskan incumbent in the Senate race is Republican Dan S. Sullivan.

 

The Dem-Marxist running against Senator Sullivan (according to the NY Times) sought far and wide in Alaska to locate a citizen with the same name as the Senator’s to confuse Alaskan voters in Alaska’s ranking vote system. That person: Daniel J. Sullivan Jr.

 

Evidently the Alaska Ballot does not list candidates by how they did in the Primary, but in alphabetical order. Below is a Ballot snapshot from afn.net from 10/28/26:

I watched a 14-Minute Timcast video talking about the NY Times and the Daily Show coverage of Dem-Marxist candidate Peltola’s fraudulent election enterprise in Alaska where I discovered the Sullivan-ringer has a nickname – DECOY DAN.

NYT: Peltola Campaign Helped Recruit ‘Decoy Dan’ to Spoil Alaska Senate Race

The New York Times reports that Peltola’s team and Democratic Senate aides helped recruit candidates to dilute support for incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan, despite repeated denials of campaign involvement

We all suspected Democrats helped put Dan J. Sullivan, known as “Decoy Dan,” on the Alaska Senate ballot under the Republican Party to confuse people with incumbent Sen. Dan S. Sullivan.

 

By the way, “Decoy Dan” changed his party from Republican to undeclared voter.

 

Well, it’s about time The New York Times put some effort into this story. You know, less than a week before the election.

 

NYT research discovered that Democrat nominee Mary Peltola’s team and senior aides at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) had involvement in the ruse:

 

The Peltola campaign has repeatedly denied any involvement in his candidacy. But The Times has found, based on interviews and text messages, along with documents prepared for a potential lawsuit against the campaign, that not only did Ms. Peltola’s team work with people trying to recruit Mr. Sullivan to run for Senate, but the effort was much broader. The group worked to coax other would-be spoilers into the race, to dilute the incumbent’s support and help catapult the Democrat to victory.

 

—

 

It also involved the Peltola campaign’s lawyers, as well as senior aides at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which directs the party’s campaign strategy in Senate races across the country. From Washington to Anchorage, those advisers participated in regular conversations about the effort and even considered forming a new political party to draw conservatives onto the ballot.

 

Sen. Sullivan responded:

 

Alaskans deserve the truth. Mary Peltola, her campaign, and her senior advisors colluded with the DSCC, national Democrat lawyers, and Alaska Democrat operatives to recruit candidates to deliberately deceive and confuse voters, and then repeatedly lied about it.”

 

Not one player in this operation has acted in good faith with Alaska voters. Mary Peltola and her campaign have spent months gaslighting Alaskans, denying a scheme they were running all along. We always knew this was a concerted effort to deceive Alaskans, and Mary Peltola was hoping it would stay covered up until after the election.

 

NEW: [real] Dan Sullivan’s campaign spox Nate Adams tells @realDailyWire: “Alaskans deserve the truth. Mary Peltola, her campaign, and her senior advisors colluded with the DSCC, national Democrat lawyers, and Alaska Democrat operatives to recruit candidates to deliberately…

 

— Mary Margaret Olohan (@MaryMargOlohan) October 28, 2026

 

The report says a Peltola staffer was instructed to find as many people named Dan Sullivan in Alaska as possible. The staffer compiled a list.

 

And, yes, “ballot-stacking tactics” are common and legal. Absolutely insane.

 

The scheme “involved secret trips to far-flung Alaskan communities and the appearance of a mysterious Midwestern operative, who traversed the state using a fake name and made his pitch to would-be candidates over beers at brew pubs.”

 

Bam.

 

Dan J. Sullivan, a retired teacher in “a tiny fishing village along the Alaska Panhandle, announced his candidacy this spring. He will be on the ballot, too.

 

Elisa Rios served as Peltola’s campaign manager and a longtime aide. She lost her job in August right before the primary.

 

Rios told the NYT: “Alaskan voters need to know. There was a lot of speculation, and voters should get the full picture when making their decisions.”

 

Rios said Peltola had no direct involvement in the scheme but was “definitely aware.”

 

However, Rios told the NYT last week that “she wanted to take back her previous statements. Weird, but the NYT told her the comments would remain in the piece:

 

“As discussed on our call earlier today, I am confirming that I have retracted all statements made regarding the 2026 Alaska Senate Race in connection with any article you may or may not be writing,” Ms. Rios wrote. “I am not willing to be a source for any story in any capacity.”

 

It is rare for a source to seek to retract comments made in previous interviews, and The Times’s standards do not obligate reporters to comply with such requests. The Times had never agreed that those previous interviews could not be published, and informed Ms. Rios last week that they would be a part of this story.

 

In addition, Ms. Rios’s interviews were consistent with The Times’s other reporting. She has not filed a lawsuit against the campaign.

 

Veteran Democratic operative Jerod Kurtz arrived in Alaska, where he was described “as a specialist in secret ballot measures.”

 

In early 2026, Kurtz told the team he “made contact with one of the Dan Sullivans” on the list. Sullivan had no interest in politics, but hated Trump and “if it was going to help Mary, he liked Mary.”

 

In late May, Kurtz told a Peltola aide that he landed in Petersburg, which is where “Decoy Dan’s” lives.

 

A few days later, “Decoy Dan” filed his papers to run for the Senate.

 

Kurtz never responded for comment, and a pro-Peltola PAC denied ever paying or hiring Kurtz despite FEC records showing otherwise:

 

Text messages viewed by The Times show officials with the D.S.C.C. and the Peltola campaign communicating for months about the project. Mr. [former Peltola chief of staff Anton] McParland asked for updates from “Jarid,” “Jared” or “our friend,” and D.S.C.C. officials quickly scheduled calls, the messages showed. (Mr. McParland, who was demoted to a consulting role in August, did not respond to multiple requests for comment.)

 

Ms. Rios regularly participated in the calls. She said the members sometimes chatted casually, and Mr. Kurtz occasionally grew animated when describing his tactics, saying he used pseudonyms and cover stories to keep his activities under wraps.

 

Text messages also showed Peltola advisors making “fun of voters while watching a focus group, surmising the participants would be susceptible to being tricked into voting for a ballot spoiler.”

 

But the campaign went even farther after the primary. In Alaska, the top four primary finishers land on the general election ballot, no matter the party.

 

Pelota’s team did not like that a Democrat would be the fourth nominee on the ballot:

 

That Democrat, a progressive named David Leslie, quickly faced calls from his party to withdraw. One of those callers, Mr. Leslie said in an interview, was Jerid Kurtz. Mr. Kurtz met with Mr. Leslie in person, at a cafe in Fairbanks, according to a person familiar with the exchange.

 

Mr. Leslie soon agreed to drop out.

 

“I’m really proud of the action you took today,” Mr. Kurtz wrote to Mr. Leslie on Aug. 31, the day he dropped out, in a text message viewed by The Times.

 

 

Without Leslie, another Republican got the last spot on the ballot.

 

That Republican? Gerald Heikes. He told the NYT a man from the Midwest recruited him.

 

However, Heikes said the man did not look like Kurtz.

 

Peltola’s campaign even thought of establishing a MAGA Party to challenge incumbent Sen. Sullivan.

 

Sheesh.

 

I love how the NYT patted itself on the back because no one else has reported on this scheme.

 

Except, you know, it’s been obvious.

 

The Alaska Division of Elections removed “Decoy Dan” from the ballot, citing evidence that he chose the same name and party as Sullivan to confuse voters. He is using a name he doesn’t typically use and even designed his campaign website to look like the incumbent senator’s.

 

The Alaska Supreme Court overturned the board’s decision.

 

The New York Post found that progressive donors have primarily funded the super PAC supporting “Decoy Dan.”

 

It doesn’t help that “Decoy Dan” participated in those No King protests, supported Peltola during her House runs, and changed to the Republican Party right before he filed to run.

 

The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit to prevent Alaska election officials from certifying the November election if incumbent Sen. Sullivan loses.
