The Iowa caucuses are two weeks away, and the New Hampshire primary follows a week later. This is the official starting gun for the 2024 elections, but the battleground has already been laid. When RedState reported earlier in December on Kate Cox and the lawsuit over Texas' Heartbeat Law, this prescient statement was made.Tragically, in the case of Kate Cox, the agenda bled through. Whether Cox was driving this or someone was driving Cox is yet to be seen. But it was clear the focus was to challenge the Texas law in order to create an issue that would carry...

WASHINGTON — A right-wing activist who spoke at Freedom Plaza on Jan. 5 and then joined the assault on the Capitol the next day provided information to the FBI about rally organizers and more than a dozen other members of the “Stop the Steal” movement as part of a plea deal to avoid a felony charge, according to court filings newly unsealed this week. At his sentencing hearing, assistant U.S. attorney Brittany Reed told a federal judge Straka’s conduct on Jan. 6 was “egregious” and, despite a cooperation agreement that got him out of a felony civil disorder charge, he...

Elected officials across the political spectrum and local Democratic and Republican parties are fighting against ranked-choice voting (RCV) as the election system will be considered by voters in multiple states next year. RCV is an election process being introduced in states across the country, but is facing pushback from both sides of the political aisle, including efforts to ban it. With RCV, if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, then a runoff system is triggered. When voters cast their ballots, they rank each candidate in order of first-to-last. If one candidate doesn't reach the 50% plus-one vote...

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said Saturday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that bribery charges against Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel were possible when reacting to reports that McDaniel participated in a phone call with former President Donald Trump attempting to get state election officials to not certify the 2020 presidential election results. Benson said, “It really underscores the vast conspiracy, for lack of a better word, that was at play. A coordinated effort in all the battleground states to delay certification creates enough confusion about the validity of the election results. Because if you have people block or refuse...

Michigan Rep. Debbie Dingell is underscoring that her home state is “purple” ahead of the 2024 election and took note of voter concerns about the War in Israel. “Michigan’s a purple state. I can’t always convince people of that,” Dingell told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “I was right back in 2015 and 2016.”Trump won the Great Lake State in 2016 but lost it to Biden 47.84% to 50.62% in 2020. Democrats retain control of both the governor’s office and the legislature. “We’ve really got to talk about the economy — the jobs that have been created, the kind...

In 2020, Democrats invented a fake water leak, and used it as an excuse to send Republican poll watchers and news reporters home. Then the Democrats went back inside, and continued counting the votes.

A Nevada grand jury on Wednesday indicted six Republicans who submitted certificates to Congress falsely declaring Donald Trump the winner of the 2020 presidential election in their state, making Nevada the third to seek charges against so-called “fake electors.” “We cannot allow attacks on democracy to go unchallenged,” Nevada’s Democratic Attorney General Aaron Ford said in a statement Wednesday. “Today’s indictments are the product of a long and thorough investigation, and as we pursue this prosecution, I am confident that our judicial system will see justice done.” The fake electors — involved in the state GOP or Clark County GOP...

Former President Donald Trump's untruths about the "rigged" election of 2020 were recently slammed by Fox News host Arthel Neville, who fact-checked them while analyzing his Iowa speech. The speech in question was made on December 2 by Trump at a campaign stop in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where he made the most strange claims about elections and his presidency, Rolling Stone reported.

97 HOUSTON – COVID-19 is continuing to make its presence known across the world as it adapts and evolves into a new strand. American Medical Association Vice President of Science, Medicine and Public Health, Andrea Garcia, JD, MPH, said HV.1 has become the variant responsible for most COVID cases here in the United States in just a few short weeks.

The Colorado Supreme Court agrees to review Donald Trump's eligibility for the 2024 ballot following an insurrection ruling. A lower court previously ruled Trump engaged in insurrection but still permitted his ballot inclusion. Legal experts, including Glenn Kirschner and Neal Katyal, advocate for Trump's removal based on the insurrection findings. Trump denounces the legal challenge as voter disenfranchisement while applauding the lower court's decision. The case's significance is heightened by Trump's increasing popularity in Colorado, as indicated by recent polls. The Colorado Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal by voters who want Donald Trump removed from the state's...

Democrats are already gearing up for Virginia’s 2025 elections after the party’s successful showing earlier this month in the state’s off-year elections. Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) announced Monday she is running for governor in 2025, while Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney (D) has reportedly been gathering staff in preparation for a gubernatorial run as well. Democrats are also eager ahead of next year’s federal elections. Eugene Vindman, one of the high-profile witnesses in former President Trump’s first impeachment trial, announced Thursday he is running for Spanberger’s congressional seat.

The issue of voter fraud and election integrity dominated much of Trump's presidency, and by its end in 2020, many of his supporters raised concerns about the credibility of the electoral system. Well, voter fraud appears to have metastasized and is now out of control. We saw that in Arizona's gubernatorial race, and we see it all across America.In recent years, concerns about voter fraud have grown significantly, with many individuals asserting that there are systemic issues within the American electoral system.One striking example cited by those raising concerns about voter fraud is the Kentucky gubernatorial election, which looked like...

President Joe Biden fundraised off the Democrat Party’s nearly flawless election day on Tuesday, using the victories in Ohio, Kentucky, and likely in Virginia to draw a contrast between “democracy” and “MAGA.” The Republican potential losses in all three states highlight the GOP’s seeming inability to persuade voters of their arguments against late-term abortions.

Election fraud is making headlines in three Democratic states -- Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Jersey. In Connecticut, the situation took a dramatic turn as allegations of fraud led Bridgeport Superior Court Judge William Clark to overturn the results of a Democratic mayoral primary after a video surfaced online, seemingly showing a supporter of incumbent Democrat mayor Joe Ganim, stuffing stacks of papers into a ballot drop box.In Massachusetts, a Democratic mayoral candidate is facing accusations of bribing voters. Springfield officials claim they witnessed voters being brought to City Hall for early voting, with some expecting cash in return for voting...

Election Day got off to a rough start in several districts in Northampton County, Pennsylvania. Lehigh Valley News has reported several voting machines in multiple districts across Northampton County are down due to “votes getting flipped and not recording properly.” Voting machines went down in Palmer Township, Bethany Wesleyan Church in Lehigh Township, College Hill Presbyterian Church in Easton, and at the Allen Township Fire Hall. The voting machines only flipped votes in the retention race between Judge Jack Panella and Judge Victor Stabile for the Pennsylvania Superior Court. In a press release, the Northampton County Elections Office stated: “It...

The criminal conspiracy was done to get himself elected in 2020, according to the state attorney general, who said that Mendez, his wife and two campaign supporters stole mail-in ballots from residents’ mailboxes, filled some out, and then tried to mail in fakes in an effort to win What to Know 1) Paterson Council Speaker Alex Mendez allegedly stole mail-in ballots along with his wife and two campaign supporters to rig the 2020 election — new allegations that are far broader and more serious than when Mendez was first charged with election fraud in 2021 2) The criminal conspiracy was...

CNN accidentally caught a lady stuffing a ballot box on live TV in 2020. They went on to call it the most safe and secure election in history. And if you have any questions, you are a dangerous threat to democracy.

Honest to goodness, the man just does not get it. He might be forced to pull a Palin and resign before his first term is over. He could go off and write his memoirs and build his presidential library. (Both would be half-size, of course.) I am not saying Obama is not smart; he is as smart as a whip. I am just saying he does not understand what savvy first-term presidents need to understand: You have to stay on message, follow the polls, listen to your advisers (who are writing the message and taking the polls) and realize that...
