The battle lines for election integrity are being drawn, and it's becoming crystal clear who stands with We the People versus who serves the establishment swamp. A recent debate between conservative voices and a CATO Institute scholar has EXPOSED how even supposedly "libertarian" think tanks are working to undermine President Trump's groundbreaking Make Elections Great Again (MEGA) Act.

While Trump's administration pushes forward with the comprehensive MEGA Act—which goes far beyond the previous SAVE Act by requiring photo ID, proof of citizenship, stricter voter roll maintenance, AND ensuring mail-in ballots arrive by Election Day—the so-called "liberty" advocates at CATO are throwing up roadblocks.

The Swamp Runs Deeper Than We Thought

This isn't just about election security, Patriots. This is about exposing the controlled opposition that has infected even conservative-leaning institutions. The CATO Institute, long considered a libertarian ally, is now showing its true colors by opposing common-sense measures that 80% of Americans support.

Think about it: What kind of "libertarian" opposes ensuring only American citizens vote in American elections? What principled conservative fights AGAINST cleaning up corrupted voter rolls that include dead people and illegal aliens?

"The resistance to basic election integrity measures reveals who really benefits from the current broken system. It's not the American people."

The MEGA Act represents everything the establishment fears: transparent, secure elections where every legal vote counts and illegal votes are eliminated. While Democrats predictably screech about "voter suppression," seeing supposed allies like CATO scholars join their chorus should be a wake-up call for every patriot.

Trump Delivers on Promises

President Trump promised to deliver the most secure elections in American history, and he's following through. The MEGA Act isn't just legislation—it's a declaration that the days of questionable ballot harvesting, mysterious mail-in ballot drops, and voter rolls packed with ineligible voters are OVER.

The question every American should ask: Why would anyone claiming to support liberty and the Constitution oppose measures that ensure only eligible citizens participate in our sacred democratic process? The answer reveals everything you need to know about who really controls the narrative in Washington.

Not surprised at all - CATO has been compromised for years now. They used to be about limited government but now they're just another establishment mouthpiece trying to stop real election integrity reforms.

Exactly! They claim to be libertarian but attack every common sense measure to secure our elections. Shows you where their real loyalties lie.

What specific parts of the MEGA Act are they objecting to? I've been following this closely and every provision seems designed to restore confidence in our electoral system. These think tanks need to explain why they oppose voter ID and signature verification.
