Donald Trump publicly blamed radical left activists for damaging a U.S. elections security ballot box days before key votes on the SAVE Act. The legislation aims to require proof of citizenship for federal voting. Republicans argue the measure prevents fraud while Democrats call it voter suppression. The cartoon frames the debate as partisan finger-pointing over basic safeguards.
Donald Trump stands beside the casket of Sen. Lind on July 13, 2026, holding a sign urging passage of the SAVE Act. A portrait of the late senator rests atop the wooden coffin while a floral wreath displays the legislative message. Trump remarks that the situation is so sad. The image captures the intersection of a Senate vacancy and ongoing efforts to advance voter eligibility legislation.
A voter at a registration desk presents identification while asking if there is an issue. The Republican elephant official responds that the problem stems from the man no longer identifying as a Trump supporter. The scene centers on a large sign requiring voter ID. This cartoon from June 2026 addresses ongoing debates over identification rules at polling places and shifting political affiliations ahead of elections.
The image shows the Republican elephant in work attire pushing a wheelbarrow marked SAVE Act toward a voting booth already lined with bricks. A trowel and spilled mortar rest on the ground beside the booth which displays an American flag and the word VOTE. The elephant whistles while moving the load of bricks. The scene addresses the SAVE Act and its role in shaping access to ballots through added identification requirements.
Two anthropomorphic Republican elephants stand before a large sign listing the SAVE Act and voting restrictions including voter ID, passport, birth certificate, no mail-in ballots, voter roll purges, and limits on early and absentee voting. One elephant points to the list while the other, holding a paper marked POLLS, answers a question about what they are trying to save by replying our butts. The scene comments on Republican support for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act and related measures aimed at requiring proof of citizenship and tightening ballot access.
The cartoon depicts a person in jeans and sneakers discarding a yellow ballot marked BALLOT into a gray trash can labeled THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE. The Salt Lake Tribune and caglecartoons.com appear at the top with the artist's signature. This visual responds to the 2024 presidential race where third party bids from RFK Jr and Jill Stein raised spoiler concerns among voters weighing Trump and Biden. The image underscores how many ballots cast for alternatives end up effectively wasted in a two-party system.
A political cartoon published January 19, 2022, depicts Mike Lindell embracing a pillow labeled voter suppression with gerrymandering noted below. The MyPillow founder, wearing a red states shirt, declares it is all they have. The image responds to ongoing Republican efforts in multiple states to enact voting restrictions and redraw legislative maps following the 2020 election and 2021 redistricting cycle. Critics argued the measures targeted Democratic-leaning voters while supporters maintained they addressed election integrity concerns.
The cartoon by R.J. Matson, published October 20, 2021, depicts a voting machine branded with Republican elephants and labeled Freedom to Vote Republican Act. The screen asks if 41 senators would filibuster the right to cast a ballot. A stop sign blocks progress if the answer is yes, directing voters to go home, while a green arrow allows continuation only if no. The image comments on Senate procedural hurdles facing voting rights bills amid Republican-led state measures on elections.
The Supreme Court issued a ruling on the Voting Rights Act in early July 2021 that upheld state authority over election procedures. The decision drew immediate reaction from Democrats who argued it opened the door to new restrictions on voting access. Republicans maintained the measures addressed legitimate concerns over election integrity. The cartoon shows the GOP elephant coating a baseball with voter suppression laws while the Supreme Court figure declares the substances acceptable. This visual ties directly to ongoing debates over absentee ballots, drop boxes and district maps following the ruling.
The drawing shows the Republican elephant in a circus ring stepping directly on a ballot box labeled as such. Papers scatter around the crushed container. The elephant wears a blanket marked voter suppression laws and a hat with the party initial. The scene occurs on a star-bordered ring floor.
The cartoon depicts a Republican-symbol elephant officer in police uniform pinning a prone figure beside a Georgia-tagged car. A dropped vote paper and ballot box lie nearby. It responds to Georgia's 2021 election integrity law, which Democrats and civil rights groups called voter suppression. The pose echoes the 2020 George Floyd incident. The work criticizes the measure's impact on ballot access.
The cartoon depicts Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp with his head on a football player's body numbered zero, carrying a ballot box off a field while a larger voter figure in a Georgia helmet watches. Kemp's speech bubble states he cannot win so he is taking the ballot box and going home. The image responds to the March 2021 signing of Senate Bill 202, a sweeping Georgia election law that tightened voting rules including limits on absentee ballots and early voting access after the 2020 election. The visual metaphor frames the legislation as a retreat by Republicans unable to secure victories under prior rules.
