    Despite the massive media attention given to the claim that Russia attempted to influence last year’s election, the greatest threat to American democracy is vote fraud at home. Counties across the country have more people registered to vote than they have residents eligible to do so. Some jurisdictions have on their rolls voters who’ve reached their 200th birthday and beyond. Thousands of non-citizens have been found to be registered to vote and across the nation that number may well reach into the millions. No wonder President Donald Trump established the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, on which I serve....

    McALLEN, Texas (CN) - Starr County, Texas, on the Mexican border, has 3,000 more people on its voting rolls than it has citizens of voting age, a Virginia-based watchdog group claims in court.     The American Civil Rights Union sued Starr County Voter Registrar Rafael R. Montalvo on March 4 in Federal Court.     The Arlington, Va.-based ACRU was founded in 1998 as a conservative alternative to the American Civil Liberties Union, which it calls the "devil's law firm" on its website.     The ACRU supports voter ID laws, religious liberty, gun rights and what it calls a strict reading of the Constitution."The ACRU believes that...

    A conservative-leaning nonprofit, the American Civil Rights Union (ACRU), recently filed a federal lawsuit over allegations that Zavala County is “failing to make a reasonable effort to conduct voter list maintenance programs.” The ACRU claims the county—which supported the re-election of President Obama by 83%--allegedly holds a 105 percent voter registration rate. Lead litigator for the case, former DOJ attorney J. Christian Adams, argues to Breitbart Texas that despite Zavala County’s smaller population—voter roll maintenance failures can distort voter turnout and total tabulations in local races. ... The filed federal complaint claims, “Voter rolls maintained by the Defendant for Zavala...
  • Mobilizing Election Integrity, at Judicial Watch

    Judicial Watch is mobilizing resources for the fight over election integrity — the organization has just announced the hiring of former Department of Justice Voting Section Deputy Chief Robert Popper. This is very bad news for vote fraudsters, vote deniers, and organizations (including Eric Holder’s Justice Department) that stand in the way of election integrity. Popper worked with me on the New Black Panther case at the Justice Department. This means that three of the four lawyers who worked on that case have left DOJ, and are now on the side of preventing lawlessness in voting rather than aiding and...

    Two Mississippi counties have more eligible voters than residents. The American Civil Rights Union wants local election officials to clean up voter rolls in Mississippi. Last Friday, the group filed suit against two counties that have more registered voters than the Census says they have voting-eligible citizens. The ACRU is stepping into the breach left by the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Justice Department. Under Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez (now nominated to head the U.S. Department of Labor), the division has refused to enforce Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act, also known as the Motor Voter...
  • ACLU Supports Terrorist Against Americans

    American Civil Rights Union TheACRU.org As usual, the ACLU misreads the Constitution, and sides with those who would attack America and murder Americans, instead of following the Constitution and protecting Americans and America. The latest example is the ACLU promotion of the interests of an Al Qaeda representative in the US. The facts for this article, but not all of the legal conclusions, come from an article in the Los Angeles Times on 5 December, 2008. It concerns an apparent representative of Al Qaeda in the US, who is also a legal resident in the US. On 5 December, the...

    John Armor, an attorney for a conservative alternative to the ACLU, is outraged the legal group has launched a multi-million dollar campaign in an effort to provide private council for illegal enemy combatants who are facing military tribunals at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The American Civil Rights Union (ACRU) says the ACLU is at it again, this time spending $8.5 million and teaming up with the criminal defense Lawyers and former Clinton attorney general Janet Reno to lend a helping hand to terrorists, including Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks. Armor, legal counsel to the ACRU, says the...

    John Armor, the legal counsel to the American Civil Rights Union, says the ACLU continues to demonstrate its preference for an American defeat in the war on terror by attempting to limit the U.S. government from obtaining information from military prisoners. The American Civil Liberties Union recently filed suit seeking a court order that it be given uncensored transcripts of military hearings for 14 of the "high value" terrorist detainees. John Armor of the American Civil Rights Union -- a conservative alternative to the ACLU -- argues that would be the same as if, in World War II, someone had...

    Chris Simcox said the only way to resolve the illegal immigration issue is through a level-headed discussion, but the yelling that started off Friday's protest was anything but. More than 50 people stood in front of the Yuma County Courthouse Friday evening to listen as two anti-illegal immigration groups voiced their disapproval of how Alexander Dumas and Matthew Hoffman are being treated by the court system. Both men will be sentenced on Wednesday after pleading guilty to conspiracy to detain the six illegal immigrants. But before anyone could lend their support to the men, a very loud argument broke out...
