With the election fast approaching, GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump has stepped up his call for his supporters to become poll watchers to watch for, and document, illegal activity. He even has set up a page on his website for people to sign up. But MSNBC’s Al Sharpton has had it with Trump’s call for poll-watchers, claiming they are there to intimidate minorities. “How concerned are you about voter intimidation tactics in this election,” he asked Sherrilyn Ifill of the NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund, as he warned about militias backing Trump. “…in the last several months, as there...

A Donald Trump voter in Texas was arrested Monday for wearing a T-shirt to the polls that mocked Hillary Clinton’s infamous comment in which she said half of Trump supporters were “a basket of deplorables.” Brett Mauthe, 55, was arrested in Bulverde, Texas after wearing a pro-Trump hat, and a T-shirt saying “basket of deplorables,” according to KSAT 12. Mauthe told the outlet that while he removed the hat at the request of officials, he refused to turn his T-shirt inside out and said he was not aware that wearing it was a violation of the election code. When he...

In a ranked-choice election, voters rank all candidates on the ballot in order of preference. If no candidate is the first choice of a majority of voters, the candidate who receives the fewest votes is eliminated. The ballots of voters who supported the last-place candidate are then recounted, and their No. 2 preferences are tallied and awarded to the remaining candidates. The process of elimination continues until one candidate has a majority of votes.

(CNN)Republican Sen. Rand Paul said on Wednesday that polls showing Hillary Clinton with a lead over Donald Trump are "designed to suppress turnout." The Kentucky senator, who is ahead in surveys for his own re-election bid, was asked on, "The Tom Roten Morning Show," an 800 WVHU West Virginia radio program, about Clinton's national polling lead when he made the comment. "You know, I think sometimes polling is done to dampen election turnout so when Trump says the thing's rigged, I'm not sure exactly what he means and I'm not sure I always agree with him," Paul said. "But I...

Staying true to their party: All these bigwig Republicans who say they won't support Donald Trump will have two choices when they walk into the voting booth next month. They can vote for Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. You know as well as I do that they will vote for the one who halfway represents their party. They will pull the lever for Trump. All this hogwash is just political nonsense. They don't want anyone to think they will vote for Trump, but they will. The only alternative is to vote for her.

Traitors? Treasonous? Stupid? Because not voting for Trump is an act against all Humanity, and that’s as bad as it gets “I can’t vote for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton,” is what I hear from an apparently alternate breed of political character during this Presidential campaign, 2016. Is this something new to Presidential campaign politics? Or is this a type of person who has always been there? Maybe imagining some sort of ideal Mr. Rogers President or a shining city on a hill—like Teletubbies on a sunny day?

The U.K.-based Smartmatic company posted a flow-chart on its website that it had provided voting machines for 16 states, including important battleground states like Florida and Arizona. Smartmatic Chairman Mark Malloch-Brown is a former U.N. official and sits on the board of Soros’ Open Society Foundations. Since the story first broke, the flow-chart has disappeared from Smartmatic’s website, raising further questions about the real status of the Soros-tied voting equipment and whether it is truly being deployed in U.S. elections.

Donald Trump has been urging African-Americans to vote for him for President by asking them, "What have you got to lose?" Things are so bad for blacks in many of our hollowed-out inner cities like Detroit and Chicago, it is a fair question. In fact, I have been asking myself the same question, "What have I got to lose?" Every time a typical Republican or Democrat gets elected, the economy gets worse, the country goes deeper in debt, and my individual freedoms diminish. I’m not so sure how successful Trump has been with African-Americans. Many blacks have swallowed the falsehood...
