DOGE has referred 57 cases of potential voter fraud to the U.S. Justice Department

Antonio Gracias noted that the individuals were "resident aliens who were registered to vote

Musk, the hard-charging business tycoon who has been spearheading the DOGE initiative, has indicated that he plans to spend less time on the effort going forward.
"Not stepping down, just reducing time allocation now that @DOGE is established
...
"The federal government is a gigantic beast — very complicated — and so if you’re trying to figure out how to stop waste and fraud, you’ve got to map the territory," Musk said on Wednesday. "That required three months of intense effort, and you have to build the team as well."
A new administration is like a start-up," Musk continued. "Now, we’re getting more of a rhythm and so the amount of time necessary for me to spend here is much less and I can return to primarily running my companies, which do need me."

Thank you very much and God bless you.
I’m thinking the DOJ is in need of more staff.
It takes time to examine every case submitted for possible law violations.
The trick is to have the right kind of staff, who work to support this administration, vs sabotaging or slow walking the data.

Democrats want to use mail-in ballots to steal election and deny Trump second term
WASHINGTON – In an op-ed published by Fox News, House Committee on Oversight and Reform Ranking Member James Comer (R-Ky.) and House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) outline how Democrats are pushing belated and risky changes toward all-mail balloting in key states to boost their political chances and sow uncertainty in a President Trump victory. Ranking Members Comer and Jordan highlight that the best and surest guarantee of electoral integrity is for Americans to vote in person where safe and possible.
Democrats want to use mail-in ballots to steal election and deny Trump second term. Democrats around the country are attempting to force last-minute changes to election laws and expand universal mail-in voting procedures, under the guise of public health and safety. But don’t be fooled. Infectious disease experts and members of the White House Coronavirus Task Force Dr. Deborah Birx and Dr. Anthony Fauci have repeatedly gone on the record noting that in-person voting can be done safely with appropriate health protocols. So if in-person voting is safe, then why are Democrats pushing belated and risky changes toward all-mail balloting in key states?
The answer is quite simple: Democrats believe that all-mail voting will boost the political chances of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and sow chaos and uncertainty in case of a victory by President Trump. In other words, Democrats are aiming to steal the election — after the election.
A joint Republican report released by the House Judiciary and Oversight and Reform Committees last week found that last-minute shifts toward all-mail balloting and relaxed election safeguards come with serious consequences. Democrats claim there is little evidence of fraud associated with all mail-in ballots. Don’t buy it. There is plenty of evidence of election crimes and administrative errors associated with mail-in voting. Look no further than a recent New York congressional primary, when Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s late shift to mail-in voting led to chaos. Election officials disqualified thousands of ballots for not having timely postmarks and the election was not certified for six weeks.
All mail-in balloting is not to be confused with the time-tested absentee ballot process where a voter specifically requests, and is mailed, a ballot. Soon, as many as 44 million Americans will automatically receive a mail-in ballot, with zero assurances the envelopes reach their intended recipient or are accounted for properly. It doesn’t take an election lawyer to know that this last-minute shift to all-mail voting will leave our electoral process ripe for potential crime and administrative errors.
Problems with mail-in voting are not new. In 2005, the bipartisan Commission on Federal Election Reform found mass voting by mail remains “the largest source of potential voter fraud.” And just this month, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger revealed at least 1,000 Georgians voted twice in the primary this year. In 2016, a former city commissioner in Texas, Guadalupe Rivera, pleaded guilty when charged with filling out mail-in ballots for voters in his race for reelection. Rivera won that race by only 16 votes. These examples underscore the consequences of all mail-in voting on a mass scale.
Democrats are also pushing for diminished safeguards around the mail-in electoral process just weeks before the election. The changes sought by Democrats put election integrity at risk and increase the risk of litigation following the election. In Pennsylvania, the Democratic majority on the state Supreme Court extended the state’s deadline to receive mail-in ballots if mailed by Election Day and decreed that ballots without postmarks would be presumed to have been mailed by Election Day.
In Wisconsin, Michigan, and elsewhere, Democrats want to extend deadlines for mail-in ballots to be counted after the election. In other states, Democrats seek to weaken witness and notary measures to ensure the person returning the ballot is the actual voter. These last-minute Democratic changes are especially risky as states move toward providing prepaid return postage of mail-in ballots. The U.S. Postal Service typically does not postmark prepaid mail and, although it claims to have a policy to do so for election-related mail, the Postal Service failed to postmark thousands of ballots in a contested New York congressional primary.
A similar Postal Service error in November could result in massive disenfranchisement and litigation. Recently, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee voted down a proposal to increase penalties for tampering with a postmark on a 2020 ballot, showing they are not interested in ensuring a secure and fair election.
Widespread mail-in balloting enables Democrats to expand their weaponized voting scheme called “ballot harvesting.” Ballot harvesting allows far-left activists to solicit and collect entire batches of ballots from 2020 voters. We’ve seen this tactic before. Ballot harvesting led to Democrats eking out victories in several 2018 congressional races, literally weeks after Election Day. America cannot afford lingering uncertainty about election results or fraudulent activity, which would only bring confusion, distrust, inaccuracy, and delay in the final outcome.
The best and surest guarantee of electoral integrity is for Americans to vote in person where safe and possible. Voting at a dedicated site comes with knowledgeable poll workers, identity verification, and secure ballot submission practices. These safeguards will minimize any delay in election results and ensure the integrity of the outcome. But for Democrats, the prospect of removing President Trump from office — by any means necessary and by stealing the election after the election — outweigh their commitment to election integrity.

Once debunked 2020 election fraud claims are
coming back due to Trump’s awesome 2024 victory
Transcript——Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory is fueling claims of fraud on both sides of the political divide. His right-wing supporters claim the outcome vindicates their debunked claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him. To a smaller degree, those on the left are circulating their own baseless claims casting doubt on this year’s results.Trump and allies have primed supporters to falsely believe he has no chance of losing. The election denial movement Trump inspired has spent the past four years building an infrastructure and community around false claims that 2020 was rigged. This year, it invested heavily in raising similar alarms that voting would again be compromised — only for those claims to evaporate as returns came in.
Untangling Disinformation. Crowdsourced voting fraud claims could become grist for Republican lawsuits. The narrative twist emerging in the wake of Election Day shows how the movement is continuing to sow doubt about the voting process even after their preferred candidate won. The new claims center on comparing popular vote totals in 2020 and 2024: Four years ago, Joe Biden received around 81 million votes; as of Friday afternoon Vice President Harris’ total stood at 69 million, according to the Associated Press.
Election deniers have framed the difference as “missing” Democratic ballots that validate their suspicions about cheating in 2020. Some recirculated disproven theories about late-night ballot “dumps” that resulted in states that had early leads for Trump in 2020 shift to Biden as more votes were counted.
This year’s Electoral College map may show another ‘blue shift.’ Here’s why: There are a couple straightforward reasons for the gap between Harris’ and Biden’s totals. First of all, votes are still being tallied, including in the most populous state, California. “Most people just don’t really understand how election administration and the tabulation of election results actually works in this country,” said Kathy Boockvar, who oversaw elections in 2020 in Pennsylvania as its secretary of the commonwealth. “And that of course leads, unfortunately, to susceptibility to conspiracy theories and false information.”
The process of certifying votes varies from state to state. In many cases it takes weeks to complete, as officials process overseas and military ballots, review provisional ballots, and conduct audits. Jennifer Morrell, a former elections official who now runs the advisory firm the Elections Group, says when considering claims about “missing” ballots, it’s important “to recognize that there are these checks and balances and audits and tests that happen throughout the election.”
Numerous investigations and audits, often led by Republicans, were conducted after the 2020 election and no evidence of widespread fraud was discovered. Those checks will continue for the 2024 election over the coming weeks.
Turnout also varies from election to election. In 2020, 160 million people voted — a record high. While turnout in 2024 is expected to be close to that, Trump made gains across the country, even in Democratic states Harris won. That means she will almost certainly fall short of Biden’s total number of votes.
Boockvar said there are many times in U.S. political history where “the country went in a drastically different direction” from one election to the next. “Where Democrats might vote for Republican candidates or Republicans vote for Democratic candidates, or people come out more in force [or] people come out less,” she said. “This is normal.”
Posts about the gap first emerged on X, formerly Twitter, overnight on Election Day and into the early hours of Wednesday, Nov. 6, according to research by the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public, which tracks rumors about election administration.
Soon, pro-Trump influencers began sharing them to their own large audiences. Their numbers varied — some said there were 20 million “missing” Democratic votes, while some put it at 15 million, depending on how many votes had been counted for Harris at the time they were posting. But the message was consistent. “Where did those 20 million Democratic voters go? The truth is, they never existed. I think we can put the lie about Biden’s 80 million votes to rest once and for all,” wrote Dinesh D’Souza, who popularized conspiracy theories about ballot boxes after the 2020 election. His post has been viewed more than 4 million times on X. A similar post from YouTuber Benny Johnson was viewed more than 22 million times.

At that rate, the voter rolls will be clean in 1,000 years.
Waste, fraud, and abuse.
All can be narrowed down to a word (name): Kamala.
She’s a waste, a fraud, and abuse of human flesh.
(Sorry to be off-topic). ;)
Seriously? Only 57?
The DOGE needs to be a permanent department but to get passed congress and senate would be trying to take a ham bone from a group of pit-bull dogs.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Call it like it is. Its not Voter fraud. Its a willful act of treason against a duly elected president.
Congress needs to pass a law against mail in voting in the US.
PERIOD.
One for each of Obama’s 57 States?
I want to hear that 57 Democrat election officials have been referred for prosecution on about 100,000 counts of organized election fraud each. Then, we will be getting somewhere.
I wouldn’t hold your breath waiting for Kash’s FBI to do any investigating on it:
And this is in addition to his regular FBI plane flights South to see his girlfriend.
Ay por favor-esta mierda/chisme otra vez? As long as Kash Patel-or anyone else-does their job, it is not anyone’s business what they do when they are off the clock, as long as it is legal. I certainly wouldn’t believe any gossip I read in a gossip rag like the DM-National Enquirer wannabe-specially when that gossip is peddled by a pissed off fired employee a who is “now a columnist and contributor for NBC News and MSNBC, frequently critiquing of the Trump administration”...
Kash isn’t doing his job. Promoting Deep Staters and not slashing the Department probably most deserving of slashing.
Let alone all the cases he hasn’t made visible progress on.
Jobs like this aren’t 40 hour-tops positions. He owes more to the country than he seems to be producing.
I hope there is enough evidence found in investigation to bring these cases to a win in court...
Are you a lawyer who has held a position like that? If not, then you are just speculating/assuming. We all want progress-but there is no point in getting instant gratification if it isn’t a winnable case. Stamping our feet and yelling for arrests, jail, hangings, etc right now, now, now just because you want it isn’t productive at all, in my opinion...
Plenty of public, DoJ/FBI savvy observers have noticed the same.
And it doesn’t take special knowledge to know he’s both promoted the Deep State and not hacked away at them at any scale.
You can sit like a helpless baby bird if you’d like, but FR is for sharing takes and observations.
Funny
You are entitled to your opinion, as are we all-but assuming I’m a helpless baby bird or anything else like it is totally incorrect-I haven’t called you any derogatory names pertaining to being hypercritical. You do not know me or anything about me-I’m not shy about my politics, and I’m not polite or nice to liberals or other pendejos. Like many others here, I simply know that beyond voting and communicating with representatives to make my concerns heard, bitching is just that-and a waste of time better spent. So we respectfully disagree...
I run a business-but I don’t have any liberal customers, so no chance for me to have fun and provoke TDS-this is a deep red rural county...
