Republicans in Michigan and Alabama delivered a crushing blow to foreign election interference this week, advancing groundbreaking legislation to ban overseas dark money from contaminating American ballot initiatives and campaigns.

The GOP-controlled Michigan House passed HB 5197 on Thursday by an overwhelming 97-6 margin, sending a clear message that foreign nationals have no business bankrolling Michigan's elections. The bill specifically targets foreign contributions to ballot initiative campaigns - a loophole that globalist forces have exploited for years to push their agenda on unsuspecting American voters.

Meanwhile, Alabama Republicans are pushing similar legislation to fortify their state's election integrity, proving that red states across the nation are finally waking up to the foreign money threat that has been undermining our republic.

"Michigan and Alabama Republicans took major steps this week to secure their states' elections from foreign dark money," noted @bonewitz_SPBG on social media, highlighting the significance of these moves.

Patriots on social media are celebrating these victories, with @TruckenUSMC sharing the news widely as Americans demand action against foreign interference in our democratic processes.

Why This Matters for Every American

For too long, shadowy foreign actors - including Chinese Communist Party-linked entities and European globalist organizations - have poured millions into American ballot initiatives, effectively buying policy outcomes that serve their interests rather than ours. These bills slam the door on that corruption.

The Michigan legislation comes at a crucial time when President Trump's second-term agenda of America First policies is gaining momentum nationwide. Red state governors and legislatures are following Trump's lead by prioritizing American sovereignty over globalist influence.

However, as one social media user pointed out, Republicans need to step up their game across the board. @JTitor17 warned that while GOP states are securing elections, Democrat-controlled Virginia is eliminating Republican congressional seats through redistricting: "RED STATES NEED TO GET OFF THEIR ASSES AND DO THE SAME."

Will your state be next to ban foreign money from poisoning American elections, or will lawmakers continue letting overseas interests buy influence in your backyard?

I worked as a poll observer in 2020 and saw some questionable activities firsthand. These bills are desperately needed to protect our voting integrity.

FINALLY! Someone is taking election security seriously. We can't have foreign governments meddling in our democracy - this should be common sense legislation.

My grandfather always said elections should be decided by Americans, not foreign interests. He'd be proud to see this happening.

Your grandfather was a wise man. We can't let outside forces undermine what our veterans fought to protect.

Will these bills also address online interference through social media platforms? That seems to be where a lot of the foreign influence happens these days.
