    The other day, Heartland Institute Editorial Director Chris Talgo was a guest on "The Absolute Truth with Emerald Robinson" on Lindell TV. Chris was invited on the program to talk about our analysis of The Heartland Institute's blockbuster poll in December which found that one in four voters who used mail-in ballots in the 2020 presidential election admitted to submitting an illegal vote -- activities like voting in a state in which you are not a permanent resident, filling out a ballot that is not your own, or signing a ballot that was not your own. Whether or not those illegal activities were done with malice or by accident, those votes should have NOT been counted in the 2020 presidential election.  As a follow-up, Chris and others at Heartland analyzed this data to see how various levels of this illegal voting activity with mail-in ballots -- again, admitted to by Americans in our survey -- would have affected the 2020 Election in the six close swing states. Out of 29 scenarios, in which we continually lowered the level of illegal votes cast, Donald Trump would have won, not Biden, in 26 of them.

    The Heartland Institute released a poll in December 2023 that caused a media earthquake. We commissioned Rasmussen to ask likely voters who mailed in their ballots in 2023 if they committed voter fraud. Well ... we didn't ask it in that way. We asked questions such as, "During the 2020 election, did you fill out a ballot, in part or in full, on behalf of a friend or family member, such as a spouse or child?" That is voter fraud. That is a crime. 21% of likely voters said "yes."WE asked: "Did you cast a mail-in ballot in a state where you were no longer a permanent resident?" 17% of Likely Voters said "yes." That is clearly voter fraud. A crime.We asked: "Did you sign a ballot or ballot envelope on behalf of a friend or family member, with or without his or her permission?" Again, that is about as clear as it gets when it comes to committing the crime of voter fraud. But 17% of likely voters polled by Heartland and Rasmussen said "yes." They did that.You can see the full poll at Heartland.org to see all the questions and all the responses. They will shock you as much as they shocked us. Heartland got a TON of media attention for this blockbuster poll that changes the national conversation about the integrity of the 2020 election. It is no longer a conspiracy theory or misinformation when one-in-five voters in the 2020 election admit -- themselves -- to a pollster that they committed voter fraud. Even if they did it by accident, or didn't know those were illegal acts, those votes are not legitimate and should not have been counted.Heartland Institute Editorial Director Chris Talgo was a guest on Breitbart News Daily with Mike Slater to talk about the poll. This is a fascinating discussion in which Slater tries, and fails, to poke holes in the results of the poll.
