Eileen O'Neill Burke's razor’s edge lead over Clayton Harris III in the Democratic primary for Cook County state’s attorney is now down to less than a third of a percentage point. The latest batches of city and suburban ballots reported on Monday left O'Neill Burke only 1,643 votes ahead of Harris —nearly a week after the polls closed. Based on the unofficial results, O'Neill Burke, a retired appellate court justice, now leads Harris, a university lecturer, 50.16% to 49.84%. The mail ballots trickling in since last Tuesday have consistently narrowed O'Neill Burke’s margin. On Monday, Harris won 56% of the...

In November 2022, Rep. Janel Brandtjen, then Chair of the Assembly on Campaigns and Elections, sent out an election fraud alert. Rep. Brandtjen received three authentic military ballots to her home addressed to “Holly,” a woman who has never lived there. Brantjen believed this was part of a scheme to steal votes in Wisconsin. The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on this 2020 voter fraud scheme in several battleground states where military ballots shockingly went almost entirely to Joe Biden. We posted evidence that this occurred in Michigan, Arizona and Georgia. Later that week Wisconsin radio host Dan O’Donnell broke...

he Perfect Storm Explained: Drivers Licenses for Illegals + Noncitizen Voting + Mail-in Ballots + Private Funding of Elections + Partisan Hack SOSs Does undocumented immigrant mean illegal alien? If you hesitated before answering yes, you are a victim of progressive doublespeak. Undocumented immigrants are illegal aliens. Noncitizens, whether here legally or illegally, are not allowed to vote in our nation’s elections. It’s a felony for noncitizens to vote, and the U.S. and state constitutions clearly prohibit foreigners from voting. Even so, “The Department of Justice appears to be using taxpayer dollars to have jails and the U.S. Marshals Service...

US Attorney General Merrick Garland delivered remarks on ‘Bloody Sunday’ at Tabernacle Baptist Church in Selma, Alabama. Garland told the black churchgoers that voter ID requirements are “discriminatory” and that he’s fighting to stop oppressive laws. “The right to vote is the cornerstone of our democracy, the right from which all others flow. It is a right that members of this community bled for,” Garland said to the churchgoers. Garland insisted the “right to vote is still under attack.” “And that is why the Justice Department is fighting back,” he said. “That is why, one of the first things I...

The newly appointed chairman of the Georgia State Election Board cast the deciding vote on Tuesday against recommending that state legislators ban no-excuse absentee voting. In a 3-2 vote on Tuesday, the election board struck down the recommendation to no longer allow any Georgia voter to request an absentee ballot after Chairman John Fervier declined the request from a fellow board member that the General Assembly dissolve a rule passed in 2005. Absentee ballots in Georgia have been under increased scrutiny after the State Election Board adopted emergency rules in the 2020 in response to the pandemic’s public health emergency....

An Indiana State Police investigation into potential petition fraud by a volunteer for Democrat presidential candidate Dean Phillips’ campaign continues in St. Joseph County, where the local Democratic Party leader was convicted a decade ago on a petition forgery scheme. St. Joseph County Clerk Amy Rolfes told The Federalist that she and her staff late last month discovered hundreds of what appeared to be fraudulent petition signatures and addresses. Rolfes alerted state elections officials and the State Patrol, which last week launched an investigation. “They are making progress,” Rolfes said. “I know it’s not sitting. They’re taking it very seriously.”...

Two North Carolina counties left a Zuckerbucks nonprofit — where private money is injected into public election administration — as the 2024 election cycle began, citing time commitment as the reason for leaving. Brunswick and Forsyth counties in North Carolina have left the U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence, a project of the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), after joining it last year. The alliance is awarding funds to counties and municipalities under the Centers for Election Excellence program. The alliance will provide $80 million over five years "to envision, support, and celebrate excellence in U.S. election administration," according...

Is there any hope left for the U.S.S. Biden? It's not just that his polling numbers are reaching the point of no return. Now his campaign staff are fleeing -- "in droves." According to Newsweek:A group of staffers working on President Joe Biden's reelection campaign warned the president that his volunteers are quitting "in droves" over his handling of Israel's military response in the Gaza Strip.Biden has faced immense pressure from members of his own party over the United States' policies in light of the surprise Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7, which killed about 1,200 people and resulted...

I remember watching the election returns in 2016 as liberal pundits followed the counting and gradually realized that Donald Trump was going to defeat Hillary Clinton. The next day, supporters cried and howled in despair.The tables were turned in 2020 when Joe Biden, a candidate who couldn’t attract more than 30 people to attend a rally, “defeated” President Trump. The fact that six states simultaneously stopped counting early the next morning and later showed statistically impossible jumps in votes for Biden has led me to an ongoing study of election fraud – vote-count manipulations, dropbox stuffing, and mail-in ballot fraud...

new Russian history book for 11th grade students claims former President Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election “as a result of obvious electoral fraud by the Democratic Party.” Even the Kremlin knows the 2020 elections were stolen! Images from the history book, which is reportedly used by students in the 11th (graduating) grade, have circulated on social media in recent days. Marc Bennetts, foreign correspondent for The Times (U.K.), posted a page from the book on Monday onto his X (formerly Twitter) account, translating that the book said Trump lost the election “as a result of obvious electoral fraud...

A House Republican representing part of New York City says she has "smoking gun" proof that city officials are trying to help get illegal immigrants registered to vote, something the city has staunchly denied. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., announced on Sunday that she had obtained a copy of a contract between New York City’s Department of Social Services and Homes for the Homeless, a nonprofit that has been contracted to build emergency migrant shelters as the border crisis depletes the city’s resources. In an appendix of that contract, a copy of which was obtained by Fox News Digital, the city...

A Maricopa County Superior Court judge rejected Kari Lake’s lawsuit request to view signed ballots of 1.3 million early voters in Arizona. Judge John Hannah’s ruling, filed Thursday, denied Lake from gaining access to the envelopes in connection to the 2022 gubernatorial race that she lost to now Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs. Hannah argued the release of the ballot envelopes and their signatures would undermine the ballot verification process for future elections. “The broad right of electoral participation outweighs the narrow interests of those who would continue to pick at the machinery of democracy,” Hannah wrote. According to the filing,...

A state judge has taken the unusual step of ordering a new Democratic mayoral primary in Connecticut’s largest city to be held after the Nov. 7 general election is completed. The decision comes after surveillance videos showed a woman stuffing what appeared to be absentee ballots into an outdoor ballot box days before the original primary. Superior Court Judge William Clark determined the allegations of possible malfeasance warrant throwing out the results of the Sept. 12 primary, which incumbent Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim won by 251 votes out of 8,173 cast. Absentee ballots secured his margin of victory. “The volume...

The FBI took over a 2020 probe into voter registration fraud that began in Michigan but has denied a Freedom of Information Act request regarding the investigation, citing an exemption in that law regarding ongoing investigations. According to the dozens of pages of police reports from the Muskegon Police Department and Michigan State Police, a firm called GBI Strategies was under scrutiny as an organization central to alleged voter registration fraud in the 2020 presidential election. The matter was initially investigated by city and state authorities before the FBI took over. Contacts between local law enforcement and the FBI continued...

Denying 2020 election fraud without meeting the burden of proof that it was free and fair. As I indicated in my previous column, the so-called mass media continues to emphasize that there is no proof the 2020 presidential election was “stolen” despite the fact that various individuals and groups have produced what appear to be credible evidence of wide-spread election fraud, cheating, and other “irregularities.” On the other hand, none of said media has ever applied the same standard to itself; the media even went so far as to assert the 2020 elections was the “most secure in American history,”...

Several Republican groups are suing the state of New York and Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) after she signed a measure expanding access to absentee voting. “Kathy Hochul and extreme New York Democrats are trying to destroy what is left of election integrity in New York,” House GOP Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (N.Y.) said in a statement Wednesday. “As a New York voter, I am proud to lead this coalition in defending basic election integrity on behalf of all New Yorkers.” On Wednesday, Hochul signed a package of bills designed to expand voting access across the Empire State, which allows registered voters...

[N]ew evidence that [John} Gomes introduced may wind up proving that some dirty dealing may have taken place and his complaint could be valid.

Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips of True the Vote (TTV) believe they have the goods to prove that “Trump was right” about the 2020 election in Georgia. Their work concerning the state’s voter rolls allegedly proves that at the time of Raffenperger’s Nov. 20, 2020 certification, there were, according to Engelbrecht, “364,000 ineligible voter records,” of which approximately 67,000 actually voted in the 2020 election. UncoverDC spent some time this week talking with Engelbrecht about TTV’s investigation of Georgia’s voter rolls. Engelbrecht and Phillips both unequivocally believe Trump was justified in questioning Georgia’s results during his Jan. 2, 2021, phone...
