Why We Vote Ep. 113: USAID, Election Meddling, and Washington’s Shadow Games

CannCon and Ashe in America dive into the tangled web of USAID’s global election interference, exposing how taxpayer dollars have been funding NGOs, media outlets, and voting machine companies to manipulate elections, not just abroad, but right here at home. From Smartmatic in Bosnia to hidden payments to the American Bar Association, the same playbook used to rig foreign elections has been running in the U.S. for decades.

With Trump shutting off the money flow, NGOs are collapsing, bureaucrats are panicking, and the media is scrambling to cover their tracks. The National Endowment for Democracy and the International Republican Institute are taking major hits, and new revelations about USAID’s funding of Smartmatic and Wuhan gain-of-function research make it clear, this isn’t just about elections. It’s about control.

As the lawsuits pile up and the judiciary is forced to face its own corruption, the guys break down why Trump’s election overhaul is about to change everything and why Washington’s money laundering operations are finally hitting a dead end.
