For an election-integrity researcher who has spent years digging into voter rolls, mail ballots, and election administration, that amounts to progress — with some big caveats.

Eggers, vice president of research at the Government Accountability Institute and author of Fraud: How the Left Plans to Steal the Next Election, joined Eric Bolling on election night to explain what he thinks has improved and where vulnerabilities remain.

His biggest positive: federal monitoring.

The Justice Department deployed roughly 1,000 monitors and observers across all 50 states Tuesday, calling it the largest election-monitoring operation in department history.

“I’m impressed and pleased to see the actions the Department of Justice has taken ahead of these elections,” Eggers said.

He also credited federal pressure on local election offices to reconcile the number of ballots cast with the number ultimately counted.

“Common sense stuff,” Eggers called it.

Where does he dock the other 25 points?

Voter rolls.

Eggers pointed specifically to California and Minnesota, where state officials have fought Trump administration demands for voter-registration information and citizenship checks.

California became the biggest battleground after the Department of Homeland Security initially flagged as many as 190,832 registrations as potentially belonging to noncitizens.

Eggers’ broader concern is what happens when questionable registrations remain unresolved going into Election Day.

“When the voter rolls aren’t clean, that’s when mischief can occur,” he said.

He applied the same principle to mail voting.

Asked about an unconfirmed election-night report involving tens of thousands of mail ballots in Republican Rep. Mike Lawler’s New York district, Eggers immediately cautioned that he had not verified the report.

But he said the underlying concern was familiar.

“The elections get less secure the more space you put between the person casting the ballot and the person counting the ballot.”

That, Eggers argued, is why universal mail voting and third-party ballot collection continue to draw scrutiny.

Eggers also zeroed in on Alaska, where the Justice Department is investigating allegations surrounding retired teacher Dan J. Sullivan — a third Senate candidate sharing nearly the same name as Republican incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan.

More than 20 people have reportedly received notice that they are subjects of the investigation, including Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias.

Democratic nominee Mary Peltola has denied involvement in recruiting the similarly named candidate, and no charges have been announced.

For Eggers, those unresolved fights explain the score.

The federal government is watching more closely.

The voter-roll and mail-ballot arguments haven’t gone anywhere.

“Generally,” Eggers said, “I’d say 75.”

“El-Sayed flew to Colombia in South America and met with a group of what they would say are Muslim philanthropists,” Schweizer told hosts John Catsimitadis and Rita Cosby on their WABC radio show in New York. “These are people who run organizations founded by — and in some cases funded by — the Muslim Brotherhood.” Details of the trip were found by researchers at the Government Accountability Institute (GAI), of which Schweizer is president.

“What is very troubling is that this seems to be the place that laid the seeds for his [Senate] run in 2026,” Schweizer continued. At the Colombia meeting, “you have people with the Islamic Circle of North America and the Muslim Students Association. These are all Muslim Brotherhood groups that lined up to support him back in 2022.”

El-Sayed has accused his critics of being anti-Muslim, but for Schweizer and the research team at GAI that uncovered the details of this 2022 meeting, “it’s not about what his faith is. It’s about what his ties are to the Muslim Brotherhood, which has been involved in supporting terrorist organizations and fomenting what it calls ‘civilizational jihad,’ which is their phrase,” Schweizer said. “Their notion is to want to take over institutions in the United States to advance Sharia law and [advance] their vision for what America should look like.”

At the time of the 2022 meeting, El-Sayed was serving as a “Policymaker in Residence” at the University of Michigan. He previously ran the Detroit Health department until 2017 and ran an unsuccessful campaign for governor in 2018.

Answering a question from fellow guest Judge Richard Weinberg, Schweizer explained the difference between the Muslim Brotherhood and al Qaeda. “They are more insidious,” he agreed.

“The goal is the same — to create a caliphate, a Muslim-dominated civilization in which the only acceptable thing is faith in Islam,” Schweizer said. “The dispute with al Qaeda is because al  Qaeda said we get there by blowing things up, while the Muslim Brotherhood says, ‘No. That’s not going to work because they’re going to kill you and it will only rally the domestic population.’”

“When you have people like El-Sayed and other politicians who say, ‘oh, no, no, no, I reject what al-Qaeda is doing,’ the end goal still remains the same, which is civilizational jihad,” Schweizer said. The Muslim Brotherhood prefers to operate quietly, by taking control of institutions. “In a way, this is even more of a threat, because when (God forbid) terrorist attacks take place, people rise up, become alert, and want to respond.  They recognize the threat.”

GAI just last week released its second biennial report, called Top 50 Election Threats, and Schweizer  details what to watch out for.

“The report includes all the sort of techniques that various entities will use to try to manipulate the vote. One of them is called ‘Granny Farming,’ which sounds bizarre but is when political activists, primarily from the left, go into retirement homes and communities, and they ‘help’ elderly people fill out their ballots,” he noted. “This is a huge vote scam that takes place all across the country.”

“I would encourage everybody to take a look at our report and pay attention to what’s happening in your community, and report to us if you hear or know that some of these tactics are taking place,” Schweizer said. “Because in most places these are absolutely illegal.”

The report identifies vulnerabilities across five major areas of election security, including noncitizen voting, ballot handling, partisan lawfare, political financing, and emerging technological and foreign threats. Each threat is supported by documented examples, with proposed solutions to strengthen election safeguards.

“America’s elections face threats from every direction – foreign adversaries, political operatives, dark money, and government officials who refuse to enforce the rules,” said GAI President Peter Schweizer. “This report exposes more than fifty documented vulnerabilities.”

“None of these threats are hypothetical – each one is documented, and most can be fixed if officials are willing to enforce the laws already on the books,” said GAI’s top voter fraud investigator and vice president, Eric Eggers.

Key Findings

• Illegal Noncitizen Voting: DHS has identified approximately 278,000 noncitizens registered to vote, drawing on public records from just four states and voter roll data from ten cooperating states. In California alone, USCIS has verified roughly 20,000 registered voters as noncitizens, according to a senior official at DHS.
• Legal Noncitizen Voting: As of 2026, 22 local governments let noncitizens vote, with Washington, D.C. extending that right explicitly to illegal immigrants. Only 18 states have strong state constitutional language explicitly barring noncitizen voting. On November 3, voters in Arkansas, Kansas, South Dakota, and West Virginia will decide whether to join those states by implementing “only citizens may vote” language in their state constitutions.
• Audit Resistance and Data Sharing: More than half of states have refused free federal checks of their voter rolls, citing privacy concerns, while handing data on both voters and nonvoters to ERIC, a private nonprofit whose data has been shared with the Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR). Both groups trace back to David Becker, a former director of the Soros-funded People for the American Way, and CEIR received nearly $70 million from Mark Zuckerberg in 2020.
• Unlimited Vouching: In Minnesota, staff at nursing homes, group homes, and homeless shelters can vouch for an unlimited number of residents registering on Election Day, without anyone involved showing an ID.
• No Voter ID: Only 36 states require any form of ID to vote, and only 24 of those require photo ID. In Wisconsin, nearly 150,000 voters registered as “indefinitely confined” received absentee ballots in 2024 without showing a qualifying photo ID.
• Dark Money: More than $300 million from the Arabella and Soros funding networks flowed to a single left-wing voter-mobilization hub through 2024. That group, America Votes, sent “social pressure” mailers to voters in Nevada claiming to track their participation in the 2022 elections. Common Cause, which has received more than $2.2 million from the same networks, sued the Trump administration’s Justice Department in April 2026 to block it from compiling a national voter database using data ordered from the states.
• Political Funding Platforms: ActBlue, a major political fundraising platform, is under congressional investigation over allegations that it accepted fraudulent and foreign donations. The group’s own former law firm warned of possible “known and willful” violations, while FEC records show multiple donors with tens of thousands of ActBlue contributions attributed to them, including one Colorado woman with 57,138 under five name variations.
• Data Center and Surveillance Money: Industries supportive of emerging technologies represent a new well of funding that is being poured into US elections. GAI traced more than $60 million in political spending tied to the budding surveillance industry. In Texas, Senate candidate James Talarico has attacked his opponent for taking money from pro-data-center groups while quietly benefiting from far more of it himself, including $11 million from tech billionaire Reid Hoffman, who is vocal in his support for data centers.
• Foreign Threats: GAI has also found that China and Mexico have both cultivated close relationships with U.S.-based groups that register voters and run get-out-the-vote drives while maintaining documented ties to their respective consulates.
• Emerging Technologies: Research from Stanford and reporting by the Washington Post found that major AI chatbots consistently lean left when answering election-related questions.
• Mobile Voting: Anchorage, Alaska already lets voters return ballots by smartphone through a portal backed by Bradley Tusk, a former staffer to Chuck Schumer and Michael Bloomberg, whose mobile-voting nonprofit holds close ties to the Arabella funding network and other political operatives. More than 20 computer scientists, led by Princeton’s Andrew Appel, have criticized Tusk’s mobile-voting platform, calling his claims about its security “untrue and dangerous.”

Calls for Election Reform

“The problem isn’t one bad actor or one broken election law,” said GAI Executive Director of Research Seamus Bruner. “It’s a system riddled with vulnerabilities that powerful interests can exploit. Our investigation identifies more than fifty threats – and shows exactly where the safeguards are failing.”

The report argues that most of these threats can be mitigated by enforcing the rules already in place, or by tightening them so they match the spirit of the law.

It calls for a standalone Senate vote on the SAVE America Act, which requires proof of citizenship to register and photo ID to vote.

While states rightly govern their own elections, the report makes the case that protecting Americans’ votes is a standard every state should be held to.

Therefore, it recommends that the federal government compel all states to cooperate with federal voter-roll audits, and that states follow Ohio’s lead in closing any constitutional gaps that let cities and local governments extend voting to noncitizens.

READ THE FULL REPORT

Back in July, DHS matched California’s voter roll data from a publicly available source with its own “SAVE” database, which it uses to verify American citizenship status. But Eggers came with fresh information about that process.

Just this week, “we interviewed a special assistant to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, and she told us on our podcast (The Drilldown) that the 20,000 number comes from a list of up to 190,000 names that DHS cross-referenced, using publicly available voter rolls from California against the DHS SAVE database, which is the citizenship database,” Eggers told Trinity Broadcast Network host Allen Jackson. DHS notified California, which ignored the warning, so DHS followed up and did its own recount, Eggers explained.

“So they started going through one by one those 190,000 names, and up to 20,000 of them so far they believe to be confirmed as non-citizens,” Eggers said.

Eggers is author of the 2018 book, “FRAUD: How the Left Plans to Steal the Next Election,” and remains a keen watcher of voter registration practices across the country.

Jackson opened the segment asking about the ongoing investigation into Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar for possible immigration fraud. Former President Barack Obama came to Omar’s defense this week on social media, though many Democrats have stayed mum about the growing evidence that she may have been naturalized improperly, married her brother for purposes of immigration fraud, and even be living under a false name, according to the federal judge-granted search warrant request filed by DHS to search Omar’s Washington home earlier this month. Eggers rejected Obama’s contention that the Omar investigation was “purely political.”

“My understanding is it’s actually a Biden-appointed judge, and this is an investigation that began under Joe Biden. So the idea that this is just political in terms of its origin falls flat on its face,” Eggers said. He believes there was another political reason for Obama to be in Minnesota before the election.

“There is potentially some political benefit to it, because you have a Senate race in Minnesota that’s tighter than I think any Democrat predicted,” Eggers noted. “You’ve got Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, who presided over or helped facilitate rampant fraud that occurred in the state of Minnesota. And she’s running against [Republican] Michele Tafoya. I don’t think it’s good for any Democrat on the ballot in Minnesota when you’ve got a reminder in the form of Ilhan Omar of just how wild and unchecked some of the abuses of powers have been, regardless of the legitimacy of her immigration status.”

Eggers also talked about the “Wedgewood Polling” scandal, in which an upstart polling company, whose sometimes surprising findings were cited approvingly by several major news outlets, announced that their “polls” had been completely faked.

Fake polls have real consequences, Eggers warned.

“There were multiple Democrat candidates in Michigan, primary opponents of Abdul El-Sayed, who suggested that the Wedgewood polls that were released, and which we now know were totally fabricated, helped Abdul El-Sayed win that primary,” Eggers said. “They helped him raise more money because those polls showed him leading.”

“The real scandal is that these fake Wedgewood polls ended up in the New York Times. They ended up on MS NOW, and they’ve ended up in Nate Silver’s polling aggregator. There’s even been some evidence that they received more weighting than they should have, so it’s a massive scandal. But this is one of four pollsters now that were totally fabricated. Polling is supposed to be based on scientific, hard data, but increasingly these media outlets would just use anything that fit their preferred narrative,” Eggers said. “And it may well do no less than change the face of the United States Senate as a result,” he concluded.

It was about investigators being discouraged from stopping them.

Eggers, Vice President at the Government Accountability Institute, told OAN’s Real America that he has personally spoken with Minnesota whistleblowers whose jobs involved investigating fraud in state-run or federally funded programs.

He said their account was stunning.

“They would say that they were stopped by administrators from actually going after people they suspected and knew were committing fraud because they were run by these Somalis,” Eggers told host Dan Ball.

“And so they thought it was not politically correct to do so.”

Eggers called that a “backwards and broken” incentive structure.

The allegation fits a broader dispute that has consumed Minnesota politics. State and congressional investigations have heard from whistleblowers who say fraud warnings were ignored or met with accusations of racism or xenophobia. Minnesota officials have disputed the broader Republican characterization, arguing that the state cooperated with law enforcement and strengthened anti-fraud controls.

Eggers focused on the enforcement gap.

For years, he argued, government employees could see suspicious activity but had little incentive — and sometimes strong reasons — not to push harder.

Now he believes that equation is changing.

“I think it’s a new day,” Eggers said.

“The Trump Administration has empowered people to actually enforce the law and go after things that they think are wrongdoing.”

His shorthand: “See something, say something.”

That’s also how Eggers views the Justice Department’s new fraud whistleblower program, which rewards qualifying tips that lead to criminal charges or significant enforcement action.

President Trump promoted the initiative by saying people who uncover major fraud could receive a percentage of the money identified.

Eggers relayed the program to his grandfather, who is approaching 99.

His reaction stuck with him.

“They’re going to give and not take for once,” Eggers recalled him saying.

Eggers said the same loosening of political and bureaucratic restraints helps explain why federal authorities are now taking a fresh look at questions surrounding Rep. Ilhan Omar’s immigration history.

He stressed that those allegations remain under investigation.

But his larger argument was about incentives, not one politician.

When investigators think raising the alarm could cost them more than staying quiet, fraud gets room to grow.

Eggers says Washington is finally trying to reverse that trend.
