A damning discovery of voter registration fraud in New York has flown under the national radar. Andrew Paquette, the research director of the New York Citizens Audit — a non-partisan group of New York citizens who use publicly available voter roll databases obtained directly from state and local boards of elections — discovered 1.47 million voter registrations that currently possess identical signatures. This is an impossibility among legitimate registrations and a clear violation of the law. A number this large is cause for concern no matter the margins of any given election. The concern is even greater given that crucial elections like the 2024 Presidential election between President Trump and Kamala Harris, as well as the 2022 gubernatorial race between now-EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin and Kathy Hochul, were decided by just 1,040,296 and 377,834 votes, respectively.

These findings also serve as greater vindication of President Trump’s long-standing, unwavering claims that America’s election system is deeply contaminated and requires significant cleansing if Americans are to trust the results they are given once again.
Most Americans residing outside of the Empire State are under the impression that New York (and many other Northeastern states in addition to California) is a Democrat-to-the-point-of-no-return state, where it is impossible for a Republican to be elected to leadership at the executive level in either statewide or federal elections. This unfortunately pervasive belief signals to non-Democrat voters — whether they may be Republican in nature or simply opposed to the modern Left — that casting votes against the Democrat machine is a waste of time, inherently driving down turnout significantly.
But even with this pessimistic group-think, President Trump’s (and even Zeldin’s) election “loss” was comfortably within the margin of these 1.47 million illegal registrations. This minimum number of documented fraud, combined with the clear enthusiasm gap between President Trump and Kamala Harris in 2024 — evidenced by Trump’s increase of more than 300,000 votes in the state from 2020 and Kamala Harris’s nearly 600,000-vote drop compared to Biden’s (artificially mail-in ballot inflated) tally in 2020 — means we cannot confidently trust the accuracy of the final tally.
This massive number is exclusive to voter registration signatures only and separate from any other methods or allegations of widespread wrongdoing. Allegations of electronic voting machine and ballot drop box manipulation, foreign interference, illegal aliens voting, nonexistent chain of custody records, duplicate votes, nursing home resident exploitation schemes, and much more all persist elsewhere, particularly in perceived swing states where methods of fraud are more heavily scrutinized. However, a lack of oversight and auditing in states viewed as solidly blue like New York also leaves open the massive possibility that such instances occur there too, but are never raised due to the defeatist perception. As a result, the gross total of fraudulent votes, registrations, or other election data is likely higher than the already nearly 1.5 million figure.
Perhaps the most important element for the rest of the U.S. that this New York discovery reveals is that New York, and other states perceived to be deeply blue are potentially the true swing states. Despite claims that certain longtime Republican-won states are trending “purple,” while longtime Democrat strongholds remain solidly blue, the opposite is true.
Beginning with New York, as it stands with the results that were tabulated with these 1.5 million registrations in play during our most recent elections, President Trump cut previous Republican general election loss margins from 25 percent nearly in half. That margin may still sound large, but the raw vote margin came in at just over a million, while this proven instance of registration fraud sits at 1.47 million. If these illegal registrations were not permitted, the election in New York would undoubtedly have been closer and perhaps even been won by the president. It would also signal to ALL voters (in this instance conservatives in “blue” states) that their vote is worth taking the time to cast moving forward.

Even so, despite it being covered as a “no-chance” for Trump, he was still closer to winning New York (12.6% margin) than Kamala Harris was to winning Texas (13.68%), a state the mainstream media continuously fails at attempting to frame as a purple-trending-blue state. The same applies to states like Florida (13.1%) — a state that some networks still cover as though it were up-for-grabs — as well as Minnesota (4.24%), Virginia (5.76%), New Mexico (6%), or even New Jersey (5.91%), which is usually in the same ballpark of massive Democrat wins as New York.
While the nearly 1.5 million illegal New York registrations are a raw number and do not reveal which candidates or party have benefitted, our recent history tells us who has been. The Democrat party has resisted all efforts to secure America’s elections and manipulated the narrative around election integrity in the Trump era and while decrying claims of fraud as election denial conspiracy theorizing. Despite the significant majority of the nation, including majorities of virtually all demographics, strongly supporting the passage of the Save America Act — which would require voter ID when voting as well as proof of citizenship when registering to vote and thereby eliminating the possibility of massive fraud like this New York discovery from occurring— they vehemently oppose it.
Additionally, instances of fraud that have been uncovered despite resistance almost always result in a net benefit for Democrat candidates. In the New York registration scheme in particular, it is not a mere machine glitch, clerical, or paperwork error, as it takes significant effort to duplicate 1.5 million signatures. Anybody putting the time and effort into doing this would not do so unless there was a guaranteed return on their investment, meaning the utilization of these registrations via voting to achieve a desired outcome. Therefore, it is most plausible to assume these 1.5 million duplicate signatures (and whatever other methods of vote manipulation are at play) are deployed to benefit Democrats.
The book of Revelation reveals to us the incomprehensibly abysmal state of affairs on Earth the Lord will return to in the last days, meaning he will be focused on things of much greater importance than the American election system when he returns. However, President Trump recently stated his belief that if Jesus himself came down from Heaven to count the votes, he’d win California. Given these recent findings, he may want to add New York, his native home state, to that Trump train of thinking as well.
