Former GOP Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake announces the launch of a ballot chasing operation in Arizona "We are officially launching the largest, most extensive ballot chasing operation in our state's history and frankly, possibly in American history," Lake said during a press conference. "The courts just ruled that this corrupt election will stand. The courts just ruled that our elections can run lawlessly. The courts have ruled that anything goes. Well, we can play by those same rules."

Perhaps the most consequential political outcome of the Covid panic that was engineered is the widespread use of mail-in voting in place of actually showing up at a polling station on Election Day. On the spurious grounds that standing in line to vote would spread the virus that was lethal mainly to the infirm and elderly, our entire process of voting was upended, and made highly vulnerable to cheating. Writing in The Federalist, Joseph Arlinghaus and William Doyle, Ph.D. argue that Republican efforts to match the Democrats’ ballot harvesting efforts are fruitless.Democrats currently execute a ballot-harvesting game vastly more complex,...

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has asked the chief judge of the courthouse to refrain from scheduling in-person trials in early August, leading many to believe that former President Donald Trump could be indicated in the state's election probe. The Georgia prosecutor investigating possible interference in the 2020 election by the former President and his allies has requested no trials or in-person hearings at the Fulton County courthouse between August 7 and 18. Outlets are speculating whether this two-week period could be a window for when a decision on charges in the ongoing probe could be announced. Fulton County...

Republicans are at a fatal disadvantage in the ballot-harvesting game, and it is important to understand why.We understand the impulse among some Republicans to throw up their hands in frustration when it comes to ballot harvesting. They advocate rapidly deploying their own ballot-harvesting operations in advance of the 2024 election. Some have likened it to a nuclear arms race. Mollie and Mark Hemingway have recently argued that “…our only hope of getting electoral arms control is if both sides have nukes.” But the nuclear weapons analogy is deeply flawed. Nuclear weapons are arguably a legitimate means of waging war, whereas...

The Trump campaign is taking on Democrats’ ballot-harvesting in key battleground states where billionaire liberal activist George Soros’ groups are spending tens of millions targeting to energize Biden’s base. “We recently alerted you that a Soros-linked Super PAC has begun targeting 6 battleground states with a $75 MILLION spending blitz to buy Crooked Joe the White House,” the campaign said in a fundraising email Thursday. “But there’s something important we want to add … some of those states have legalized BALLOT HARVESTING.” The campaign highlighted the Soros-linked effort in battleground states Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. “At the...

Biden has announced he will seek reelection as president. This comes as he is experiencing the lowest approval ratings of his presidency — 37 percent, according to Gallup. Former President Donald Trump or Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will almost certainly be the GOP nominee. The blunt reality, however, is that regardless of who the GOP puts up against Biden, they will lose if the party isn’t prepared to get down in the mud and beat the Democratic National Committee (DNC) at their own dirty game: ballot harvesting.

Trump said he’d do it.

Democratic ballot harvesting operations have reached such heights of sophistication that they can parachute into decisive battlegrounds and scare up enough votes among ignorant and unmotivated citizens to overcome the natural enthusiasm of informed and self-motivated voters...We need to demand leadership from the leaders we do have. Remember, successful political action is about organizing, not merely about grassroots willpower. For decades, the Left has used the Democratic Party as a vehicle to do little more than redistribute taxpayer largesse to unions and other special interest groups that do their organizing for them. On the Right, far too many of our...

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman, Ronna McDaniel, appears with freshly enhanced duck lips on Fox News this morning to unveil the secret weapon the RNC has been constructing to defeat the national ballot harvesting efforts of the DNC. A new Fact Checking website that will solve all the RNC challenges for 2024. Seriously…. THIS is what they have put money, time and effort into, and Ronna is so proud. WATCH:

It’s been two and a half years, and soon the 2024 presidential primary season will be upon us, so it’s worth revisiting. Not all the details, just the big picture, and just a couple of very big numbers. Over the past two and a half years, the Left has constantly reminded us that the courts threw out a number of 2020 election challenges (usually without even taking a look at the evidence presented), and that the various people involved in filing the challenges have given up and withdrawn their charges after seeing the overwhelming forces marshalled against them. But none...

The sudden rise of well-funded election activist nonprofits represents a paradigm shift away from persuading and motivating voters, and toward manipulating the election process to benefit Democrats.Over the last several months, a growing number of Republicans, including Donald Trump himself, seem to be having a change of heart about universal mail-in voting and ballot harvesting.While few Republicans are ready to completely abandon policies that support election integrity and transparency, more and more seem willing to follow the old adage “if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em,” and suggest that Republicans become significantly more reliant on universal mail-in voting and ballot...

Recently, President Trump urged Republicans to “...become masters of ballot harvesting.” He told an audience at CPAC they need to start harvesting ballots (legally) to counter the harvesting by Democrats. Perhaps I am hung up on semantics, but I think ballot harvesting is awful and usually illegal. What is “Ballot Harvesting”? A harvester is usually an anonymous political operative, or someone paid by a political operative, who rounds up ballots and places them in voter drop boxes or mailboxes -- sometimes after altering them. In other cases he gives the ballots to a political organization, where they are “reviewed” prior...

In the wake of the Democratic Party’s performance in the 2020 presidential and 2022 midterm elections, former President Donald Trump’s campaign is exploring ways to win over the mail-in vote. According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump’s staff is reviewing state laws on absentee and mail-in voting, as well as ballot harvesting. As a result of comments made by some GOP 2024 presidential hopefuls, such as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, Trump, who was notoriously critical of mail-in votes after the 2020 election, is changing his tune. The party has been criticized for focusing too...

Democrats have introduced ballot-harvesting, junk-mail balloting, and zero voter I.D. as "reforms" to elections, making everything better, creating "the most secure elections in history," as some have brayed. Rammed through blue-state legislatures, these reforms have created conditions for extended countings, making election day into election season. "Count all the ballots," they yawp, claiming they've "extended" the franchise, and made elections "more inclusive." Who could be against that? Apparently, just about every voter out there. According to this I&I/TIPP poll:The recent midterm elections were once again marked by claims of voter fraud and possible ballot manipulation behind the scenes by partisan...
