The 2024 presidential election is approaching, but the legal battle over how the 2020 race was covered by right-wing channel Newsmax isn't going away quietly. On Sept. 30, Newsmax will head into a Delaware court to defend itself against a defamation lawsuit filed by Smartmatic, a voting machine technology company. Smartmatic says its reputation was damaged by false statements made on the network regarding voter fraud allegations in the 2020 presidential election. Smartmatic's suit says Newsmax provided a platform for its hosts, Donald Trump and the former president's attorneys and allies to falsely claim that the company's software was manipulated...

Oklahoma officials just announced that they have removed 450,000 ineligible names from the voter rolls, including 100,000 dead people and 15,000 duplicate registrations that somehow got pushed into the system "Oklahoma ensures only eligible voters participate in elections in part by following voter list maintenance procedures provided in state law. Since January 1, 2021, Oklahoma election officials have removed 97,065 deceased voters, 143,682 voters who moved out-of-state, 5,607 felons, 14,993 duplicate registrations, and 194,962 inactive voters who were canceled during the address verification process." Inflated voter rolls are on the Mt. Rushmore of ingredients of fraud. All you need to...

Stop the ballot going out. The voter is part of a 2 ingredient datum: person’s name + person’s address. The name is protected by lawyers, the Justice Department and the goodwill of fellow citizens. That’s why we NEVER challenge a name. The address is a different matter. The address has no rights. The address has no lawyers. The address has no legal recourse if you show it to be an abandoned building - and it has a Google street view!.... So we just stopped thousands of fake ballots - without a lawsuit - because the law says a registrar cannot...

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose warned election boards to be extra vigilant in the weeks before the November election after an investigation uncovered illegal voter registration forms circulating in Clark County. In a media advisory, the secretary of state's office noted, "The office’s Election Integrity Unit recently concluded an investigation into the origins of an illegal voter registration form translated into the Haitian Creole language. The Clark County Board of Elections reported this form to our office after rejecting its submission by a local applicant." In a memo to election officials, Hun Yi, director of investigations for the Secretary...

More than 20,000 Haitians are now living in Springfield, Ohio and the residents are fed up. Springfield has a population of about 60,000 people and Haitians now make up 25% of the population. Democrats want to take back Ohio so they have flooded parts of the state with Haitians and other illegal migrants. The City of Springfield held a City Commission meeting last week and angry residents went off on them for doing nothing about the Haitians wreaking havoc on the community and draining resources. Residents went off the local government officials for neglecting to keep the city clean and...

Are the Democrats telegraphing one of the key ways in which they could steal the upcoming election? In the 2000 presidential election, a mere 629 votes separated the race between George W. Bush and Al Gore in Florida. When the absentee overseas votes finally arrived, George W. Bush was able to take the 537-vote lead from Al Gore and win the presidency. Democrats paid attention. Are Democrats really interested in attracting more overseas voters, or is it the flawed voter registration system they use that could be a game-changer in our upcoming election if properly utilized by unscrupulous election officials?...

U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is facing growing pressure to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act as part of a Continuing Resolution (CR) to keep the government funded beyond September 30. The SAVE Act requires proof of citizenship in order to register to vote in federal elections and is strongly opposed by the White House and Congressional Democrats. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) has been an outspoken proponent of the measure and says attaching it to a CR spending bill is the best way to move it through Congress. Lee also says the SAVE Act is necessary to...

Amazon Alexa declined to get political on Trump, but touted Harris as a 'woman of color' fighting 'racial injustice'.. Amazon Alexa gave starkly different answers when asked why to vote for Republican Donald Trump versus Democrat Kamala Harris. When asked, "Why should I vote for Trump?" Alexa declined to provide such information. "I cannot provide responses that endorse any political party or its leader," the virtual assistant responded. Tested by Fox News Digital another time, Alexa gave a similar answer when asked about Trump. "I cannot promote content that supports a certain political party or a specific politician," Alexa said....

The press is sweeping yet another important ballot integrity case under the rug this week. Understanding the problems in this most recent Pennsylvania ruling requires a little thinking through it. Here’s the short summary, as it is presented by the theoretically nonpartisan mass media: Republican counties want to be able to refuse to count mail-in ballots that either lack the handwritten dates required by law, or have wrong dates shown on them. The Commonwealth Court ruled, and I quote, that “The refusal to count undated or incorrectly dated but timely mail ballots submitted by otherwise eligible voters because of meaningless...

Do you live in a swing state? If so, the Voter Participation Center, a "non-partisan" charity, is spending big on Facebook ads to ensure you have the information you need to cast a ballot in the upcoming election. That is unless you like NASCAR, golf, Jeeps, or other interests and hobbies typically associated with Republican men. In that case, the Voter Participation Center does not want to share information that might help you make it to the polls in November. The Voter Participation Center is a self-described "non-partisan" charity that claims to have helped more than six million people register...

Allegations of fraud have been tied to Black Fork Strategies, a left-wing Ohio firm committed to ‘building long-term progressive power.’.. Earlier this year, Cincinnati-area voters Cassandra and Harry Scott were puzzled to receive voter registration updates showing they had changed their address. They hadn’t. The Hamilton County Board of Elections had received two registration forms for the voters from Black Fork Strategies LLC, an Ohio-based “engagement firm that focuses on all aspects of community and electoral field work.” Elections Board staff made the requested changes in the voter rolls and, per Ohio law, sent notice to the voters at their...

Former State Department official, Mike Benz, the founder of the Foundation for Freedom Online posted a very interesting tweet today on the CIA, former President Jair Bolsonaro, the US State Department, and electronic voting machines in Brazil.Mike Benz sat for an interview with Tucker Carlson earlier in the week where he first discussed the Biden regime’s efforts to interfere in the 2022 reelection of populist favorite Jair Bolsonaro.The Gateway Pundit posted this morning on the Biden regime, the US Military, the State Department, and the CIA’s efforts to alter the election results in Brazil in 2022. The Biden regime decided...

Biden’s Gestapo DOJ has threatened legal action against the small towns of Thornapple and Lawrence in northern Wisconsin for their decision to abandon electronic voting machines in favor of hand-counted ballots. The DOJ’s threats come after Thornapple and Lawrence officials opted out of using electronic voting systems, citing concerns over their reliability and potential for manipulation. Many believe that hand-counted ballots provide a more transparent and trustworthy alternative, ensuring that every vote is accounted for without the risk of technological errors or tampering. The towns’ alleged failure to provide accessible voting equipment for individuals with disabilities during the April election...

A federal judge in Massachusetts is going to make Twitter explain whether or not it is a “state actor” or a truly private company, and the effects could be significant in reigning in Big Tech’s oppression of conservative views. Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai, the man who invented email, ran for US Senate in Massachusetts as a Republican and made allegations of voter fraud on Twitter. These tweets were then deleted by the far-left tech giant. Later it was discovered that they were deleted at the direction of government employees of the Massachusetts Secretary of State’s office. Discovering this, Dr. Ayyadurai filed...

There are 1000 ways to commit election fraud and we know all of them. After engineer and data scientist Kim Brooks worked on cleaning the voter rolls in Georgia for a year, she realized she was on a stationary bicycle. She’d clear a name for various reasons, dead, felon, stolen ID, living at a seasonal campground for twenty years, duplicate, moved out of state, 200 years old, etc., and back it would come within a month. At that juncture she realized that a program within the Georgia voter registration database was methodically adding back fake names. She looked deeper. For...

Zuckerberg responded to questions from the House Judiciary Committee, explaining the moderation of online content on social media platforms, including addressing reports that the Biden administration tried to censor multiple social media companies. "There's a lot of talk right now, about how the U.S. government interacts with companies like Meta, and I want to be clear about our position," Zuckerberg said in a letter to the committee. "Our platforms are for everyone -- we're about promoting speech and helping people connect in a safe and secure way." Zuckerberg explained that the Biden administration pressured his team for months in 2021...

The goal is to deny Donald Trump the White House and it will require mass election interference on behalf of Kamala Harris... veryone invested in a Kamala Harris victory in November isn’t making even the faintest attempt at taking her seriously as a presidential candidate. She’s not one because she has no reason to run for president, no vision, no interest in the job. The whole point of this herculean, gravity-defying exercise we’re in the midst of isn’t to make Kamala president. It’s to deny Donald Trump the White House. The only way that can happen is for election interference...

Attorney General Ken Paxton.. I am launching an investigation into reports that organizations in Texas are illegally registering non-citizens to vote. Texans are deeply troubled by the possibility that organizations purporting to assist with voter registration are illegally registering noncitizens to vote in our elections. If eligible citizens can legally register to vote when conducting their business at a DPS office, why would they need a second opportunity to register with a booth outside? My office is investigating every credible report we receive regarding potential criminal activity that could compromise the integrity of our elections. The Biden-Harris Administration has intentionally...

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin issued an executive order last week preventing dead people and illegal immigrants from voting in his state. Codifying election integrity measures is the sort of routine work every state’s chief executive is supposed to undertake with an important election less than 90 days away, but failure to do so has consequences. Last year, the Old Dominion identified and deleted the names of 79,867 dead people from the state’s voter rolls. Likewise, between January 2022, when the Republican took office, and last month, 6,303 noncitizens were on the voter list. They’ve been purged. A handful of ineligible...

Q: What are your thoughts about the guilty verdicts? A: It’s an interesting verdict. As we were going through the trial, we saw that the prosecution would not let us in with any of our affirmative defenses. Much excluded evidence was kept from the jury. For instance, the codemonkeyz video that they kept talking about — that was so “damning” — they never would let the jury see it. If they would have seen it, they would have seen there were no passwords in there. Speaking to the passwords, when I took that video, it was because Conan (Hayes) was...
