Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs on Tuesday vetoed a bill to speed up Arizona’s vote-counting process by requiring in-person mail-in ballot drop-offs to be completed before Election Day. Under the new law, voters would still be allowed to send in their ballot or deliver their ballot to the County Recorder’s office by 7 pm on election day, but early in-person drop-offs in ballot drop boxes must be completed by 7 pm on Friday before election day. It can be recalled that Katie Hobbs stole her election for Governor from Trump-Endorsed Kari Lake when 60% of voting machines failed on election day,...

New York -- When a suspicious video of ballots being ripped up in Pennsylvania gained attention on social media last October, federal agencies responded quickly and called it out as Russian disinformation. On Election Day in November, bomb threats to polling places in numerous states caused relatively few disruptions to voting. It’s one of the many scenarios covered by the nation’s cybersecurity agency in its outreach to state and local officials.The Trump administration’s downsizing and disbanding of federal agencies has hit efforts that improve election security and monitor foreign influence. That could create gaps for America’s enemies to exploit the...

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania conceded his reelection bid to Republican David McCormick on Thursday, as a statewide recount showed no signs of closing the gap and his campaign suffered repeated blows in court in its effort to get potentially favorable ballots counted.

Turning Point Action’s plans to chase ballots in key swing states seem to have made the difference in helping put former President Donald Trump, now again the President-elect, over the top in his comeback bid for the White House. Charlie Kirk, Turning Point’s top activist, announced on social media in the aftermath of the election the numbers of ballots the organization chased in key battleground states of Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Nevada, helping contribute to flipping each state. While many in media scoffed at outside groups’ efforts to handle most of the ground game efforts for Republicans, Breitbart News regularly...

Just filed our papers in the Arizona Supreme Court opposing the ACLU’s effort to extend ballot curing past the statutory 5 pm deadline today. Now we wait for the high court to rule … ... There’s no way Trump won Arizona & Lake didn’t. ... The same criminals curing the ballots in Arizona are the same criminals curing the ballots in Nevada. ... This extended ballot counting is ridiculous and has to be stopped .... No one in AZ that voted for Trump voted for Gallego. I have friends there & they're outraged. 1,394,484 votes for Gallego with 1,266,536 reg...

Nearly all gains made by dems are in states with sketchy or zero ID requirements that just keep counting and dropping more ballots. This happens every election now, and dems win every close race. The new normal - states with a fraction of Florida's population hold our nation's election process hostage. It's some THIRD WORLD BS that needs to stop. The only way Trump overcame it was with huge margins.

Update on Georgia — working with the SOS and AG, we have been able to confirm that our observers WILL be allowed in the room while these ballots are being processed. Additionally, in Gwinette County, they have decided to abandon this last-minute, unapproved ballot intake and have shut down completely. BIG victory!

Five Pennsylvania counties are investigating possible fraudulent voter applications and mail-in ballot applications in the days and weeks leading up to Election Day.. Evidence from the voter registration application fraud cases has stunned Pennsylvania over the past week, leading all the way to Arizona in a private for-profit industry that tries to register voters across counties and has increasingly raised legal concerns. As counties in Pennsylvania have investigated fraudulent voter applications in recent weeks, one group from Arizona has been of particular interest as it works out of Lancaster County, which is home to a large Amish population that both...

The Republican brand is benefitting from a late surge on the generic congressional ballot. The GOP had been behind all summer, sometimes by as much as two points. Ten days ago, however, the Republican Party began to climb in the RealClearPolitics average poll of generic ballot polls. Today, the GOP leads by nearly a full point, 47.6 to 46.7 percent. This is no fluke, meaning it is not based on one outlier poll that can skew the entire field. Of the seven most recent polls, Republicans have led in five and two are tied. That shows real movement in the...

“Free Gaza” was found marked on incendiary devices used to burn ballot drop boxes in Washington state earlier this week, according to news reports, suggesting for the first time that the arson may have had a political motive.

Voter anger is rising in Pennsylvania’s Erie County after the second mishap in this voting season led to some residents not getting ballots they requested. Earlier this month, nearly 300 Erie County voters were sent their own mail-in ballot and another voter’s ballot, as well, according to Go Erie. That led Joe Morris, political science department chair at Mercyhurst University, to say this was a bad place for a mistake to take place, according to Your Erie. “To have a problem in Pennsylvania is bad. To have a problem in Pennsylvania’s swing-iest swing county is absolutely horrible,” he said. Board...

Police in two separate states are investigating after fires were set at ballot boxes with just eight days to go before Election Day in what appears to be serious cases of attempted election interference. In Portland, Oregon, police are investigating after a ballot box in Southeast Portland was lit on fire early Monday morning. Officials responded to the fire around 3:30am. By the time they arrived, the fire had already been put out by security employees working in the area. Meanwhile, flames and smoke were spotted early Monday morning coming out of a ballot box in Vancouver, Washington. In Portland,...

A 22-year-old former Democrat National Convention (DNC) delegate has announced she is calling it quits with the Democrat party. Audrey McNeal, who was a DNC delegate in 2020 and 2024, made the announcement Friday in a video she posted on social media, the Daily Caller reported Sunday.

I have not voted as yet. Just filling out the ballot. 45 judges in Arizona and I don't know any of 'em. So I'm looking them up. First two are the Justices of the Supreme Court, Clint Bolick and Kathryn H. King. If they are removed by voters, Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs would appoint their replacements.

Is democracy on the line in this election? Democrats have made that their main theme of this election cycle, to very little avail when it comes to the presidential election. Polls show that not only has it not helped Kamala Harris, some polls think she and Joe Biden present a bigger risk to democracy than Donald Trump. Jonathan Turley pointed this out earlier, using data from a Washington Post poll report on Monday:Threats to democracy rank high as an issue to the voters in these states, with 61 percent overall saying it is extremely important, including 71 percent of Democrats,...

PHOENIX - An investigation is underway after electoral ballots were burned when a USPS mailbox was lit on fire in Phoenix; former President Donald Trump will be back in the Valley on Thursday for a campaign rally;

I've been trying to figure out the rational why we are being called upon to vote early. Here is the potential rational as I see it. Early voting has the benefit of positive publicity before the election can be rigged while also allowing the Trump campaign to know where it needs to focus its attention. These points are valid but I fear that they provide the cheaters ample time to print off extra ballots. I've heard some say that this level of blatant cheating as seen in 2020 is being mitigated by an over abundance of lawyers at the polling...

SIERRA MADRE, Calif. (KABC) -- A Sierra Madre man says he found a stack of election ballots stuffed inside a storm drain, and he's now speaking out about the discovery. Jay Senese was doing some landscape work at his home Saturday when saw something strange in the storm drain next to his house: nearly a dozen mail-in ballots. He said he got on his hands and knees and started scooping them out and noticed the addresses were from his Arcadia neighbors a block away. "We're trained here to keep stuff out of the storm drain... I pull out a bunch...

A new election rule in Georgia that would require ballots on election night be hand counted has been blocked by a state judge and will not take effect before Nov. 5. Fulton County Superior Judge Robert McBurney said “the public interest is not disserved by pressing pause.” His eight-page ruling went on to note how “this election season is fraught” and “memories of January 6 have not faded away, regardless of one’s view of that date’s fame or infamy.” He said the new rule would cause “administrative chaos” given the limited time left to instruct poll workers. "Anything that adds...
