Before 9/11 happened, the big story of 2001 was going to be the recounts conducted by a consortium of media outlets in Florida. In the wake of a failed effort to challenge the electoral votes of Florida on January 6, 2001, many on the Left were eager to see what the media recount would find. We previously discussed the double standard applied to the plan of Senator Josh Hawley and others to challenge the electoral votes on January 6, 2021. Democrats issued the four previous challenges, and on two occasions — in 1969 and 2005 — even forced votes on...

Headline only. I will not pay to see their fake news.

Meetings of the Windham Board of Selectmen are usually as sleepy as they sound — a handful of residents from the New Hampshire town, a discussion of ambulance fees, maybe a drainage study. So when a crowd of about 500 people showed up last week, some waving American flags, carrying bullhorns and lifting signs questioning the presidential election, Bruce Breton knew things were about to change. “I’ve never seen anything like this before,” said Breton, who has served on the board for 18 years. “The groundswell from the public is unbelievable.” […] The trouble started when Kristi St. Laurent, a...

The U.S. Department of Justice expressed concern about ballot security and potential voter intimidation arising from the Republican-controlled Arizona Senate's unprecedented private recount of the 2020 presidential election results in Maricopa County. In a letter to GOP Senate President Karen Fann, the head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division said the Senate's farming out of 2.1 million ballots from the state's most populous county to a contractor may run afoul of federal law requiring ballots to remain in the control of elections officials for 22 months. “Past experience with similar investigative efforts around the country has raised concerns that...

While the 2021 Arizona State Fair will be held at Wild Horse Pass, part of the Gila River Indian Community in the fall — a temporary move in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, officials said — the fairgrounds will host a carnival with some of the rides, games, and foods that fair-goers would typically see. On Monday, the Arizona State Fair announced the “Crazy Times Carnival,” a 10-day event that will be held nightly from 5 p.m. – 10:30 p.m. from April 29th to May 9th at the fairgrounds, near 19th Avenue and McDowell Road in Phoenix.

PHOENIX (AP) — A judge hearing a challenge to voter privacy policies during the Republican-controlled Arizona Senate's recount of 2.1 million 2020 election ballots in the county that includes metro Phoenix said Tuesday he is not convinced voter secrecy is being upheld. The comment from Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Daniel Martin came at the end of a lengthy hearing where he also declined to extend a previous judge's order that auditors hired by the Senate comply with state voter privacy laws -- at least until he hears more at a hearing on Wednesday.

On Saturday, the Arizona forensic audit continued at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in downtown Phoenix. In Arizona, for months the Board of Supervisors in Maricopa County have complained about calls for a forensic review of the ballots in this large and crucial county. The Board members guaranteed everything was fine but they won’t let anyone get close to their results. They spent weeks after the election messing with ballots before they formally concluded the election results. However, regardless of their efforts to prevent an audit of the Maricopa County results the forensic audit is now taking place at the Veterans...

The judge scheduled to oversee a legal challenge to Arizona Senate Republicans' 2020 election audit recused himself shortly before a planned hearing. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Christopher Coury issued an order Sunday afternoon that said he was removing himself from the case after the court received filings at 4 p.m. that mentioned new attorneys for the first time, including Chris Viskovic, who worked in Coury's office as an extern within the last five years. Viskovic is now a junior associate at Kolodin Law Group PLLC, which is representing Florida-based cybersecurity firm Cyber Ninjas in the case, according to 12...

The 11 sec video appears to show scanning ballots with ultra violet light Dino Veletanlic

Democrats have a way of revealing themselves and their agenda, any time one of their truisms are just a tiny bit challenged.So no surprise, they opposed a hand-recount of the 2020 voting ballots in Maricopa County, Arizona, which includes large or at least well known cities such as Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler, and Mesa. The vote went to Joe Biden.Somehow, they didn't want them recounted.According to the Washington Post:Senate leaders have said the process is intended only to explore ways to improve the state’s elections, rather than to cast doubt on Biden's 10,457-vote victory in Arizona over Donald Trump.But the...

Though they might not want you to know, there was a time when liberals considered it noble to question presidential election results. In fact, HBO made a whole movie about it, 2008's Recount.

The Georgia Secretary of State’s Office says it’s investigating Coffee County’s handling of the November presidential election recount. All counties were to finish the third tally of votes in the presidential election by midnight Dec. 2. But Coffee County was still trying to resolve a discrepancy of 50 votes the following day, the secretary of state said in announcing the investigation late Wednesday. By Dec. 4 Coffee was the only county that had not completed the recount. The county notified the secretary of state that it would not certify the results. The discrepancy was not enough to change the result...

Yesterday Governor Brian Kemp made the headlines as he called the Secretary of State’s office to conduct a signature audit of ballots after allegations of fraud in Georgia were presented at a Senate hearing. During an appearance on Fox News on Thursday night, Governor Kemp said, “I called early on for a signature audit. Obviously, the Secretary of State, per the laws of the Constitution, would have to order that. He has not done that. I think it should be done. Especially after what we saw today. There needs to be transparency on that. Hopefully, in the next 24 hours,...

Here’s what the mainstream media doesn’t want you to know about Trump’s $3 million recount of Wisconsin that ended up increasing Biden’s lead by 87 votesThe mainstream media has been reporting – truthfully – that Trump spent $3 million for a recount of Wisconsin, which ended up increasing Biden’s lead by 87 votes.However, in this video, Dr. Steve Turley claims that there is more to the recount. He says that: 1) Wisconsin law requires recounts to include an audit of the votes as part of any recount. 2) Wisconsin Democrats tried (and failed) to remove this audit from the current...

Dominion has been the primary focus for attorney Sidney Powell’s series of lawsuits alleging mass voter fraud. Powell alleged that Dominion used a software lineage that was created for the...

Election Day. November 3rd, 2020 one of the most disputed election day in our history. It’s almost a month later. Many Americans are still seeking resolution. The push to complete a recount requested by President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign has hit a snag in Georgia’s most populous county as the statewide deadline looms. Fulton County elections officials confirmed to 11Alive on Sunday that a newly-purchased Dominion Voting Systems mobile server had crashed earlier in the day. “Technicians from Dominion have been dispatched to resolve the issue,” Fulton County officials said in a statement. “The Georgia Secretary of State’s office has...

MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin finished its recount of votes cast in this month’s presidential election on Sunday, with only minuscule changes in the results that saw Democrat Joe Biden defeat Republican Donald Trump in the battleground state.
