🚨 Trump Just Put an Election Denier in Charge of U.S. Elections 🚨
Tonight, we need to talk about one of the most dangerous and reckless appointments Donald Trump has ever made. He just tapped Heather Honey — a far-right election denier who tried to overturn the 2020 election — to oversee America’s elections.
Let’s be clear: the 2020 election was not stolen. Joe Biden won fairly. Courts confirmed it. Trump’s own DOJ confirmed it. But Trump keeps lying — and now he’s elevating the very people who fueled those lies into positions of power. This isn’t about protecting elections. It’s about undermining them, and laying the groundwork to rig 2026 and 2028.
1⃣ Who Is Heather Honey?
Heather Honey is not some neutral election expert. She:
Pushed baseless claims that voting machines switched votes.
Spread lies about fake ballots flown in from overseas.
Promoted the myth that “dead people” voted in huge numbers.
Actively pressured state officials to discard legally cast ballots.
Now, Trump wants her in charge of election oversight. That’s like putting an arsonist in charge of the fire department. It’s dangerous by design.
2⃣ The Truth About 2020
After losing, Trump and his allies filed over 60 lawsuits. They lost nearly every single one. Judges — including Republicans and Trump appointees — said their cases were baseless. Even Bill Barr, Trump’s own Attorney General, admitted there was no fraud that could change the outcome.
But Trump didn’t stop. He called Georgia’s Secretary of State and begged him to “find 11,780 votes.” He pushed fake electors. He incited the January 6th attack on the Capitol. That wasn’t a “tourist visit.” It was an attempted coup. And people like Heather Honey helped fuel it.
3⃣ U.S. Elections Are Secure
Here’s the truth: voter fraud in America is 0.0003%. You’re more likely to be struck by lightning than commit fraud. Mail-in voting is safe. Both parties use it. Even Trump himself voted by mail. His attacks on voting rights aren’t about fraud — they’re about suppressing voters, especially young people and communities of color.
4⃣ Why Heather Honey Is Dangerous
If she’s overseeing elections:
A Republican loss in 2026 or 2028 can be turned into a “rigged election.”
A Republican win will be called “the fairest in history.”
It’s a one-way street toward authoritarianism. This isn’t about safeguarding votes — it’s about destroying trust so Trump can cling to power no matter what.
5⃣ Trump’s Authoritarian Playbook
This appointment fits a larger pattern:
Deploying federal troops into cities against governors’ wishes.
Calling January 6th “peaceful.”
Attacking mail-in ballots while using them himself.
Now, installing election deniers to control elections.
Step by step, Trump is testing how far he can erode democracy — and daring Congress, the courts, and the people to stop him.
6⃣ What We Must Do
If we want fair elections, we need:
Universal Voter ID that’s free and accessible.
Election Day as a national holiday so no one has to choose between work and voting.
Expanded early voting and mail-in voting so every eligible voter can participate.
An end to gerrymandering and dark money so maps and elections reflect the people, not the elites.
That’s how you strengthen democracy. Not by handing it over to conspiracy theorists.
✅ The Bottom Line
The 2020 election wasn’t stolen. Trump lost — and he knows it. His lawsuits failed. His coup failed. Now he’s trying a new tactic: stacking the system with loyalists like Heather Honey who can do in 2026 or 2028 what he couldn’t in 2020.
Elections in America are secure. Fraud is virtually nonexistent. Mail-in voting is safe. The real threat comes from Trump and Heather Honey — who are willing to burn down trust in democracy to cling to power.
