Our Final Midterm Predictions—And Why the Polls May Be Wrong

Hayden Ludwig — Fri, 30 Oct 2026 12:00:00 -0400

Hosts Hayden Ludwig, Dan Curry, John Pearman, and Grace Riley break down why Trump and Vance are spending so much time in Texas, why Larry Sabato's crystal ball isn't what campaign professionals actually use, and how the left built a "permanent campaign" machine that turns out low-propensity voters year after year—and what conservatives are doing to catch up.

Then it's the lightning round: Who wins the House? Who holds the Senate? The panel splits on the margins, and one of them is betting against everyone else just to be contrary.

From there, the conversation turns to the polls themselves: the Wedgewood fake-polling scandal that fooled major outlets and aggregators, why early voting and public polling don't mix, why Polymarket odds aren't polls, and the long list of races where Republicans beat their polling by wide margins. Plus: 20,000 possibly non-citizen ballots in California, a box of ballots that turned up at a left-wing group in Maryland, how VoteRef is opening up voter rolls to the public, and whether the Trump administration's late push to check voter rolls against federal citizenship data can work in future cycles.

Bottom line: don't let the polls decide your vote. Get out and vote.

Democrats Need Non-Citizens to Control Congress

Hayden Ludwig — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 13:00:00 -0400

Every ten years, America counts its people. Whoever controls that count controls Congress.

Here's what most Americans don't know: non-citizens—including illegal aliens—are counted in the census. And that count determines how many seats each state gets in Congress and how many electoral votes it carries.

Remove illegal aliens from the 2020 census and Democrats lose 8 House seats. Remove all non-citizens and they lose 22. That's not a glitch. That's a system—and it's working exactly as the Left intends.

Wade Miller, Executive Director of the Center for Renewing America and combat veteran, joins Restoration Spotlight to break down how the census actually works, what went wrong in 2020, and what the fight over 2030 could mean for the future of Congress — and the country.

Topics include:
• How the census drives congressional apportionment and electoral votes
• The Census Bureau's 2020 counting errors — and who benefited
• The Constitution says "persons," not "citizens" — does that settle it?
• Can Trump add a citizenship question to the 2030 census?
• Citizen-Only Voting Amendments and the growing pushback
