DOGE promised to take a blowtorch to the bloated, wasteful bureaucracy We the People know and loathe.
As the lead warrior, Elon Musk set DOGE on the mission to do what career politicians seem incapable of doing: Find ways to stop Uncle Sam from burning through our hard-earned money like drunken sailors on shore leave.
Stories trickled out about streamlining processes, cutting red tape, and exposing the kind of bone-headed waste that makes one’s blood boil.
What quickly became clear is the swamp is not just deep;
it is a gold-plated, taxpayer-funded cesspool.
But while saving dollars and cents is crucial, DOGE has stumbled onto something far more disturbing than mere bureaucratic bungling. Something that goes right to the heart of our Republic.
NOTE: DOGE has referred 57 cases of potential voter fraud to the Department of Justice. Fifty-seven! Let that sink in. These are a potential collective threat to the very foundation of our electoral system, uncovered by the very department the crime syndicate has scoffed at.
According to reports, citing a DOGE official, these referrals involve “resident aliens who were registered to vote and may or may not have voted in elections.” Resident aliens. Meaning, individuals who are legally in the country but are not citizens and therefore not legally allowed to vote in federal elections. Yet, somehow, they ended up on the voter rolls.
Yes, me too—I’m thinking, ‘This is chickenshit. I want the big dogs to be identified.’ But DOGE must start somewhere.
Now, whether the resident aliens actually cast ballots is something the DOJ needs to figure out. But the fact they were registered at all screams of gaping holes in our system—holes big enough to drive a truck through, potentially filled with fraudulent votes that cancel out yours and mine. And this is not some fringe conspiracy theory; this is the result of a targeted government efficiency effort looking under rocks the swamp dwellers figured would stay unturned forever, then forgot about them.
Recall, all the huffing and puffing we heard from certain political corners when DOGE was established, all the hand-wringing about an outsider like Musk getting involved. Could the results DOGE is achieving be what they were really afraid of? Not just finding wasted pencils and redundant forms, but finding evidence that our election system might be compromised by non-citizen voting?
DOGE, for its part, seems to be playing it by the book. They find the potential issue, they pass it on. As Musk himself put it when discussing the process:
When we find cases of fraud, we refer those cases to the DOJ—it is not DOGE prosecuting anyone.
Exactly! DOGE is not the judge or jury. But the team comprises fantastic investigators who are performing an audit our government desperately needs. DOGE identified serious red flags which demand answers and, if warranted, prosecution. The question now is how long before the Trump administration will have dealt effectively with the corrupt judiciary so justice can be served?
Honestly, “navigating the federal bureaucracy is like wading through molasses in winter.” Musk acknowledged this reality, having noted:
The wheels of justice turn slowly but, hopefully, surely.
Months of intense effort were required just to “map the territory,” as he said, and build the team capable of identifying these problems within the “gigantic beast” of the federal government. Now these 57 referrals will each receive a thorough investigation. And We the People—as much as DOJ—are anxiously anticipating much more will come out of these investigations.
God speed to the Trump-Vance team.
