2026 midterm election fraud - Screw Big Gov (SBG)

2026 Midterm Election Fraud and the 10 Days of Darkness

Were the 2026 midterms really free and fair? On this episode of Screw Big Gov, Lewis sits down with Lance Schuttler, founder of Ascent Nutrition and one of the best diggers in the movement, to walk through the numbers, the headlines and the signals that they say point to 2026 midterm election fraud on a massive scale. They also dig into the "10 Days of Darkness," the Executive Order 13848 timeline, and what it could mean that "Patriots are now in control."

Watch the full episode below, then read the breakdown.

Trump Changes His Tone: "Does Anyone Really Believe This Election Was Honest?"

Right after election night, President Trump came out mild. The message was basically that the Democrats won and he would have to work with them. Lewis says that never sat right, and that it read like a page out of Sun Tzu's The Art of War: appear weak when you are strong.

Then came this morning's Truth Social post, which Lance read on air. Trump asked whether anyone really believes the election was honest, how the polls could be so wrong, and pointed out that some early voting dumps were so large it was impossible to win no matter how many people turned out. His bottom line was that it's all about the machines, which he called far more important than the voter.

Lewis believes the timing matters. The post came after Susan Wiles was out and Stephen Miller was in, after Pete Hegseth's statement, and after "we the people" started saying loudly that the election was stolen no matter who said otherwise. In Lewis's view, that is the strong point the administration was waiting for.

Republican Turnout Didn't Drop. So Where Did the New Votes Come From?

The most common explanation in the media and among many conservative influencers is that Republicans simply didn't show up. Lewis says the numbers don't support that.

According to the chart he built for the show, the Republican vote in 2026 was virtually the same as in the 2022 midterms, and counting is still going on. What did change, he argues, is that somewhere between 15 and 20 million additional voters appeared, and they were almost all Democrat or independent.

His graph of mail-in ballots tells the same story the way he reads it:

2014: mail-in ballots roughly flat
2018: a jump of almost 50%, along with matching jumps in Democrat and independent votes
2022: a "cooling off" period while Biden was in office
2026: another big spike, while the Republican line stays flat

Lance pointed to another chart that puts the Democrat total at around 72 million this year versus roughly 51 million in 2022. That's close to 40% more Democrat midterm voters in four years, which Lewis calls mathematically impossible. He also rejected the idea that a wave of voters suddenly turned out because they want Sharia law, calling the notion ridiculous.

Texas "Became California Overnight"

One of the biggest red flags discussed on the show comes from a post by an account called The Skiff, which Lewis read on air. It tracks how Texas's 254 counties have voted:

In 2024, Republicans took 233 counties and Democrats took 21
In 2026, according to the post, Democrats took all 254 and Republicans took zero

The post argues the usual explanation, gas prices and the cost of living, doesn't hold up. Inflation and gas were higher in 2020, yet in the 2022 midterm not one state Biden carried by 10 points or more flipped red at the Senate or governor level. Texas, which went red by a wide margin, supposedly became a swing state overnight, along with about 20 other states.

Lewis's correction: "Texas didn't become a swing state overnight. Texas became a communist state overnight." Lance agreed that the Iran war and gas prices moved some votes, but not an avalanche like this. His theory is that the scale was allowed to be so obvious on purpose, so that when the fraud is finally exposed, the masses will find it easier to accept.

Investigations Opening in Georgia and Alaska

There is some good news. The hosts highlighted reports that the Georgia Secretary of State has opened an investigation into a late upload in Seminole County in a House race. Lance sees it as a sign that this is being done by the book, step by step, and that Georgia could be the thread that unravels everything.

In Alaska, the race involving Dan Sullivan is still undecided by only a few hundred votes, according to the show. Lewis says Democrats found a second "Dan Sullivan" to put on the ballot and dilute his vote, and that a few thousand votes appear to have gone to the other Dan Sullivan by mistake. He says the same tactic was used against his friend Phil Lyman in the Utah governor's race. Trump has said people in Alaska should be prosecuted for tampering, and Lance noted that Kansas and Texas are also drawing attention as states move through certification.

Candidates Who Refuse to Concede

Lewis shared a formal declaration from Donna Brandenburg, who ran for office in Michigan, stating that as a lawful candidate on the ballot she does not concede the 2022 or 2026 Michigan elections. Lance agreed that every candidate, at every level, should insist the results be certified and verified as real before conceding, especially this year.

The hosts also mentioned that Mike Lindell planned to reveal statistics tonight on what his team found in the voting computer systems.

RICO, "Extortionists" and the Controlled Opposition

Lewis read a Gateway Pundit report that President Trump has ordered the DOJ to investigate "extortionist" Democrats for threatening his allies. Lewis has said for years that all of this ends in RICO cases, the same law Rudy Giuliani made effective against the mob. He points out that Mike Lindell's 87-page legal brief against Dominion mentions RICO several times, a topic he covered in his film The Mother of All Lawsuits.

Lance says the enemy is being allowed to believe it finally "got Trump," and that it will all boomerang back on them.

Both men also called out a group of large conservative influencer accounts with 500,000 to a million followers who spent the days after the election blaming the Iran war, gas prices and disorganized Republicans while ignoring fraud. Lewis says they are either stupid or paid, and he doesn't think they're stupid. His advice: be careful who you follow, because this is controlled opposition grabbing market share.

What Are the 10 Days of Darkness?

Lance shared a report that a 17th-century clock tower in Russia will stop chiming for 10 days. A Pathfinder account pointed out that the tower's name, Spasskaya, means "savior," and told followers to connect the dots.

Lewis says the biggest challenge with Q has never been what Q wrote but how people interpret it. He believes that is by design: if we the people could figure it out, so could the enemy, so there is a psyop within the psyop.

Early on, many believed the 10 Days of Darkness meant a full communications blackout and martial law while the white hats removed the bad actors. Others thought it meant a mainstream media blackout only. Lewis admits nobody knows for sure, but he notes the Emergency Broadcast System was fully tested and tied to Elon Musk's satellites last month.

Lewis also said something he expects to lose some audience over: he believes Russia are the good guys, whether that's the original Putin or "Putin 2.0 or 3.0," and that the Ukrainian government tied to the globalists is the real problem.

Executive Order 13848: The 90-Day Timeline

One of the most important pieces of the show is a report that President Trump's Executive Order 13848 set a trap for foreign and domestic election interference:

First 45 days after the election: the Director of National Intelligence must assess foreign interference.

Next 45 days: the DOJ and DHS submit their assessment of interference affecting election infrastructure, campaigns and candidates

If the DNI assessment lands around December 18, Lewis says, the public probably won't see major action until about February. If it comes earlier, the second window moves up. Lance also flagged January 3, when the newly elected Democrats are supposed to be sworn in, and asked whether that will actually happen.

Lewis is blunt about the stakes. If nothing happens within months, he believes patriots will either take to the streets or give up, and he fears they'll give up, which is what the deep state wants.

That's why he pushed so hard for people to vote this year. Without that turnout, he says, the other side could have called for an audit and shown a legitimate win.

"Patriots Are Now in Control" and "Faith in Humanity"

The hosts closed the election segment on signs they find encouraging:

Pete Hegseth released a video saying "Patriots are now in control," then posted "Patriots in control" a day or two later. Lance connects it to a Q drop, and Lewis points out the shift from past tense to present.

A member of Congress reshared news that brands, starting with Cash App, pulled sponsorship from a podcaster over comments about Charlie Kirk, adding "faith in humanity." Lance sees it as a nod to the Q drop about having faith in humanity and goodness prevailing.

Lance's closing thought: none of the investigations have gone away, people like Comey have been indicted, and he expects peace deals to come together over the next couple of months. In his view, those deals could help calm the outrage when the election fraud is revealed and results are reversed or rerun.
