Dinesh D’Souza’s new film, Vindicating Trump, is an alarming look at the widespread corruption in U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies that has been revealed over the past few years. One new revelation involves the continuing saga of election fraud and the never ending attempts to cheat in ways that used to be unimaginable. As Fred Lucas explains, this new fraud possibility will be important for voters and poll watchers to recognize and resist. Reprinted with permission. Pat Daugherty, Ed.D.
Paper ballots can be manufactured and purchased by those intent on election fraud, according to experts interviewed by commentator Dinesh D’Souza in his new documentary film “Vindicating Trump.”
D’Souza, an author and filmmaker, said this form of election fraud surprised even former President Donald Trump, the subject of the film.
“A lot of times people, Trump included, will say, ‘The solution to our problems is paper ballots,’” D’Souza told The Daily Signal’s president and executive editor, Rob Bluey, in an interview. “But we discovered in the film, and through the film, there’s a vulnerability even with the paper ballots, and the vulnerability is that ballots can in fact be made.”
Footage in D’Souza’s documentary suggests a ballot or multiple ballots may be purchased and duplicated, a new form of fraud. The documentary itself focuses on Trump.

“We have a section in the film called ‘The Ballot Makers,’ and I brought this to the attention of [Trump daughter-in-law] Laura Trump, because of her role as co-chair of the RNC,” D’Souza said, referring to the Republican National Committee. “I also mentioned it to Trump, because what this is really is a way of saying that, ‘Look, there are vulnerabilities in our system, there are ways of robbing Fort Knox.’”
“And we don’t just have to think about the ways that they’ve already done it, we’ve got to think about the ways that they could do it in the future, because you can’t always cheat the same way. You need to be constantly improvising in your cheating techniques,” he said.
Although the option of producing fake paper ballots is available to potential fraudsters, exposing it should make it more difficult, D’Souza said.
“We exposed this kind of new potential form of cheating, and the purpose of exposing is that when you expose something in a film and people know about it, you then can’t do it,” the filmmaker said.
“So if I say, for example, ‘You can rob the store. They left the back door open.’ But by me saying that, and people now finding out about it, it becomes harder to show up at the back door, because at the very least, even if the back door isn’t locked, there are people looking for that, and you can’t get away with it anymore,” he added.
