No source addresses the claim that 12 to 14 states are permanently rigged against conservative Christians and constitutionalists, and the sources do not name any such states.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What was said

… Yeah, well, it's mind-boggling to me how we even have Republicans are against this. One said it's draconian. You know, let me explain it this way: since I've been here, there's about 12 to 14 states in this country will never win as conservative Christians, constitutionalists. We're not going to win because they cheat the heck out of us. They're all rigged, and there's over a dozen of them.

What we found

Context. A Harvard/PolitiFact appendix (published 2026-08-25, but quoting 2020–2024 material) argues that rigging a national election is highly improbable because elections are administered across thousands of local jurisdictions. It addresses national rigging, not the claim that specific states are permanently rigged.[2]

Context. A Mediaite report (2026-07-16) says Tuberville alleged that 'four or five' senators did not legally win but offered no evidence. This is a related unsubstantiated allegation, not an examination of the claim about 12 to 14 states.[3]

Context. A PolitiFact piece (2024-10-10) concerns a Cook County voting-machine message cited as proof of rigging. It does not address state-level rigging across 12 to 14 states.[1]

Context. No source identifies the 12 to 14 states, documents any state-level rigging, or addresses the claim that conservative Christians and constitutionalists are permanently unable to win in those states.
