Trump shares a text by Paul Ingrassia warning of a "weakened" electoral system

Donald Trump has brought the explosive issue of election integrity back to the forefront of the debate by re-sharing on Truth Social an article by Paul Ingrassia, a conservative lawyer close to his circle. Published on SubstacksThe text defends the "Save America Act," a proposal presented as essential to securing the American electoral process.

In his article, Ingrassia paints an alarming picture. He argues that since the 2020 election, trust in the American electoral system has been profoundly shaken, to the point of threatening the very legitimacy of its institutions. According to him, a democracy cannot function without elections deemed free, transparent, and indisputable by the citizens.

The author denounces several problematic trends he considers worrying, such as the relaxation of voting requirements, the lack of systematic identification requirements, and the increased use of postal voting. He also criticizes a lack of transparency in certain vote-counting operations and the use of technologies deemed vulnerable.

To address this, Ingrassia advocates for strict measures: mandatory proof of citizenship, presentation of identification to vote, a return to paper ballots, and holding the election on a single day. He also insists on the need to maintain a clear distinction between citizens and non-citizens, in the name of the coherence of the democratic system.

By sharing this text, Donald Trump confirms his intention to make election security a central focus of the political debate. This is a signal to his base, but also a way to maintain pressure on an issue that continues to deeply divide American society.
