Public perceptions about slow vote-counting lend some credence to Trump’s mail-in ballot criticism.How did Donald Trump convince so many people that the 2020 presidential election was stolen? The question is relevant again as the president renews his campaign against mail-in ballots. “You can never have a real democracy with mail-in ballots,” he said Monday, and an executive order targeting the practice is supposedly in the works. Trump’s campaign against mail-in voting in 2020 foreshadowed his efforts to delegitimize Joe Biden’s election victory. But as two studies published last month illustrate, Trump might have been pushing on an open door. Insofar...

Kudos to WFSB-TV. The video is pretty powerful and just adds to the “F Troop” quality of this election. Mayor Jason McCoy has obtained a video that was taken inside a polling place in Bridgeport and shows a poll watcher warning a poll worker not to mix unofficial ballots with official ballots. She ignores him and he is escorted away. There are additional charges: Some voters were given more than one ballot Other voters were not checked off on the registration list Some voters were never asked for IDs Watch. And after you do, ask yourself this? How much of...

Where did all the Republican votes go in Bridgeport, Connecticut? Either over half of the traditional Republican voters in gubernatorial elections were no-shows on November 2 or the Constitution State's most populous city...lost its constitution. Bridgeport is certainly not the sort of idyllic Norman Rockwell town found throughout most of Connecticut. It has long endured political corruption and patronage, high rates of poverty and crime, a shrinking economy, a  declining population, and more recently, an infestation of radical progressive groups such as ACORN, AFL-CIO, WFP, and SEIU. Bridgeport did not earn the nickname "Chicago of the East" for nothing. Despite its...

"I am going to lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS,” President Trump declared Monday in a Truth Social post. Later that day, he promised an executive order “to end mail-in ballots because they are corrupt. You know we are the only country in the world, I believe, I may be wrong, just about, the only country in the world that uses them because of what happened, massive fraud all over the place.” Trump has remained consistent; even before the 2020 election, he warned: “There is a lot of dishonesty going on with mail-in voting.” Trump doesn’t need...

Driving the news: Trump, in a Monday Truth Social post, also said he'd also target "Highly 'Inaccurate,' Very Expensive, and Seriously Controversial VOTING MACHINES." Trump has argued mail-in voting was a source of cheating in the 2020 election, despite there being no evidence of widespread fraud. Trump also incorrectly claimed that the U.S. is the only country in the world that uses mail-in voting. Many countries offer some form of postal voting. The latest: Asked about his post Trump said "we're going to stop mail-in ballots because it's corrupt." He said he'd start with an executive order "that's being written...

SummaryTrump warns states to comply with coming executive order Trump also targets voting machines The move would disproportionately impact Democratic voters WASHINGTON, Aug 18 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump pledged on Monday to issue an executive order to end the use of mail-in ballots and voting machines ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, a move likely to disproportionately favor his Republican Party and spark legal challenges by some states.Democratic voters typically use mail-in ballots more than Republicans, who more often vote in person.Trump's pledge is his latest effort to reshape the midterm election battlefield to his party's advantage. He...

I am going to lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS, and also, while we’re at it, Highly “Inaccurate,” Very Expensive, and Seriously Controversial VOTING MACHINES, which cost Ten Times more than accurate and sophisticated Watermark Paper, which is faster, and leaves NO DOUBT, at the end of the evening, as to who WON, and who LOST, the Election. We are now the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting. All others gave it up because of the MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD ENCOUNTERED. WE WILL BEGIN THIS EFFORT, WHICH WILL BE STRONGLY OPPOSED BY THE DEMOCRATS BECAUSE...

As we know, Grabbin' Noisome is planning a special election to return the power to draw Congressional districts to the State Legislature. Anybody with functioning brain cells knows that the only way to win that special election would be an epic level of ballot fraud and manipulated vote counting. To the former (and this might help nationwide), Trump could instruct the Postal Service to refuse to process mail-in ballots without sending them certified mail in order to guarantee a chain of custody. That takes a signature and voter ID if Trump specifies it. I just want to see the meltdown...

A chilling video has allegedly shown a lawmaker accompanying a friend who stuffed ballots in a swing state that Donald Trump only won by just over 80,000 votes. Abu Musa, a city council member of Hamtramck, Michigan, was in the passenger seat handing several bundles of what appear to be absentee ballots to the driver. Musa then watches the driver deposit three stacks of ballots into a drop box. Michigan State Police confirmed the authenticity of the clip, which was filmed on August 1. It is part of an investigation into council members’ residency requirements. The alleged ballot box stuffing...

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday ruled Texas can enforce a law requiring ID numbers for mail-in ballots. A three-judge panel unanimously overturned a lower court’s block on the state’s mail-in ballot requirements. The three judges included: Judge James Ho (Trump), Judge Don Willett (Trump), and Judge Patrick Higginbotham (Reagan). “We have no difficulty concluding that this ID number requirement fully complies with a provision of federal law known by the parties as the materiality provision of the 1964 Civil Rights Act,” the judges ruled. “The ID number requirement is obviously designed to confirm that each mail-in ballot...

A former National Intelligence Officer for Cyber under President Trump and Joe Biden has come forward with explosive allegations: the CIA and Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) deliberately buried evidence of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) interference in the 2020 presidential election—and fired him when he refused to play along. The whistleblower’s damning post came in response to General Mike Flynn’s tweet Monday questioning why foreign election interference by the CCP wasn’t exposed back in 2020: “So there was foreign interference by the CCP in the 2020 presidential election. Who was running the USIC at that time and...

Rep. Abe Hamadeh (R-AZ) sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday, asking the DOJ to investigate “credible claims” of election security violations involving the Arizona-based ballot printing firm, Runbeck Election Services. Runbeck provides ballot printing and mail-in ballot services in 31 states and 54% of the nation’s voters, according to its website. The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on this shady private entity, which was founded by leftists and transports and scans Maricopa County mail-in ballots with no oversight or chain of custody before they are processed and counted by the County. As revealed in Trump-Endorsed former...

Earlier this week FBI Director Kash Patel exposed a Chinese plot in 2020 to create THOUSANDS of fake mail-in ballots in the 2020 presidential election. According to Kash, the communist Chinese were involved in a plot to create thousands of fake mail-in ballots in 2020 using fake voter registrations. And, it should be clear that China was not creating fake ballots to assist Donald Trump. The Chi-Coms detested Trump and what he had done to their economy. Trump was the only US president in decades to take on the Chinese Communist Party. * * * * * * * *...

Canadians are voting today in an election that will determine which party will lead its government: the Liberal Party, which is currently in power under Prime Minister Mark Carney, or the Conservatives, led by Pierre Poilievre, who hope to return to power after nearly a decade in the opposition. Here’s what to expect as voting takes place and after the results are known.

The North Carolina Supreme Court on Friday ruled that most of the 65,000 questionable ballots must count in the hotly contested judicial race. Earlier this week the North Carolina Supreme Court halted a previous order from the state appeals court requiring the verification of 65,000 questionable ballots. This case has been bouncing around between state and federal courts. The North Carolina Supreme Court race headed for a recount due to a close final tally as the Democrat pulled ahead two weeks after Election Day.

THIS IS INSANE: If the liberal wins in Wisconsin next Tuesday, she will REMOVE 2 GOP Congressional districts... WISCONSIN SUPREME COURT CANDIDATE BRAD SCHIMEL: "Little did I know when I got into this race 16 months ago that we were going to be called the most important race in America in 2025." "My opponent got caught by the New York Times getting on a Zoom call with our state Democratic Party chair and billionaire leftist donor, Reid Hoffman, promising that if she got elected on the court, they would turn two Republican congressional seats into Democrat congressional seats." "Now, just...

Thanks to mail in voting, democrat James Malone started off with a 25-30% point lead. Why do mail in ballots ALWAYS favor democrats? I really hope Elections are truly fixed by 2026 midterms… right now we have the Presidency, House, and Senate. There are no excuses anymore why they shouldn’t.

And here it is, Federal law states the United States government was overthrown on November 4, 2020, EVIDENCE CONFIRMS BEYOND THE SHADOW OF A DOUBT, + 20,000 MAIL-IN-BALLOTS were illegally delivered and counted by Katie Hobbs AFTER Election Day November 3, 2020. This alone is twice the election margin in the State of Arizona , Meaning, Katie Hobbs and her co-conspirator Adrian Fontes belong in prison. DECERTIFY THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY.

Arizona is one of those states where counting the ballots can take weeks after election day has passed. In an effort to expedite the counting of ballots Republicans in the legislature passed a bill modeled on the system used in Florida where all the ballots are counted on election day. Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) vetoed this legislation. "The main hold up in counting ballots is the requirement for signature verification," Hobbs asserted. "One obvious solution is to do away with signature verification. Another solution would be to do away with voter registration. Since voting is a human right why not...
