America’s fight for secure elections just took another jolt from the patriots who refuse to let the debate die. On Benny Johnson’s program this month the host laid out a dramatic narrative involving General Michael Flynn and whistleblowers tied to Venezuelan election systems, saying the revelations prove there was foreign interference in our recent elections.
According to the account aired on the show, Flynn personally met with whistleblowers who described how voting systems developed in Venezuela are used across multiple countries and how technical traces — including alleged IP connections — were identified. Whether you call it intelligence gathering or citizen reporting, these are not casual allegations but the kind of leads that demand immediate, full-throated investigation.
Conservatives should be uncomfortable with any attempt to paper over these claims with reflexive dismissals from the same institutions that failed to properly scrutinize the left’s corruption for years. Benny Johnson and others have said they obtained names and technical details from sources they described as highly credible, and those claims deserve the same due process and transparency liberals loudly demand when it suits them.
At the same time, the record shows that allegations about foreign-linked voting software and machine manipulation have been fiercely litigated and scrutinized in recent years, and major outlets have documented clashes between media outlets and voting-technology firms over what was aired and what was proven. Those legal fights underscore the need for careful, independent forensic work rather than partisan sound bites.
So where is Congress, and where is the Department of Justice when bold allegations like these are being made in the open? If there is even a sliver of truth to the Flynn-linked claims, we need timely subpoenas, public hearings, and forensic audits done by experts who answer to the people, not to a politicized bureaucracy. Americans deserve clear answers, not silence and spin.
We must also stop allowing legacy media and partisan fact-checkers to be the final arbiters of whether an allegation merits a probe. Conservative voters know that institutions often protect their own; that’s why independent, transparent audits and real chain-of-custody for ballots and machines are the only way to restore faith in our elections. Demand paper ballots, random public audits, and penalties for those who refuse to cooperate.
General Flynn’s stature as a former national security official gives these reports weight in the public square, and conservatives should use that weight not to stoke conspiracy for profit but to insist on hard evidence and accountability. If whistleblowers brought forward technical data, let the data be examined under oath by bipartisan experts. The American people will accept the result if the process is honest and transparent.
This isn’t about partisan victory; it’s about defending the franchise every hardworking American depends on. Patriots must press their representatives to open real investigations, secure the machines, and make election procedures auditable in every county. If Washington refuses, states and the people must act to reclaim the integrity of our republic.
