A federal judge on Thursday blocked President Donald Trump from implementing an executive order that requires voters to show documentation proving their U.S. citizenship to cast a ballot in federal elections. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, a Bill Clinton appointee, granted a preliminary injunction stopping the Trump administration from going forward with the proof-of-citizenship requirements as a lawsuit plays out, the Associated Press reported. The lawsuit, filed by the Democratic National Committee and leftist voting rights groups, claims that Trump’s order is “an unlawful action that threatens to uproot our tried-and-tested election systems and silence potentially millions of Americans.”

Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) has won the special election for Oakland mayor in a close contest over “moderate” Loren Taylor, giving “progressives” hope and defying efforts by Democrats to shift their party to the center. Lee, 78, defeated Taylor, 47, thanks to late-arriving postal ballots, after Taylor led on Election Night. She will take the helm of a city suffering from poor left-wing governance in the wake of a corruption scandal involving former mayor Sheng Thao, also a “progressive.” Oakland had recently begun to emerge from the shadows of San Francisco — its wealthier, glitzier neighbor across the Bay —...

I believe @ElonMusk was right when he said that Democrats were importing illegals as a means of having a permanent majority in all swing states. However, he missed a more sinister underlying reason for doing so... By importing twenty million illegals, they also set up an absurd mission for President Trump to pursue, which is deporting every single one of them. This will not result in making America great again. It will simply make America 2020 again.This is 100% by design. When you have an elite problem solver who is capable of multi-tasking and operating high-level organizational control, the only...

Several Democrat lawmakers refused to answer why they voted against a measure to ensure that non-citizens cannot vote in U.S. elections in footage exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. Only four Democrat lawmakers joined Republicans to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would require states to obtain proof of citizenship before registering an individual to vote and remove all non-citizens from existing voter rolls. Several lawmakers who voted against the legislation either refused to tell the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) why they seemingly support non-citizens voting in elections or claimed that the idea is...

Concluding a case that rocked the nation, a Milwaukee jury convicted former election official Kimberly Zapata of misconduct for obtaining fake absentee ballots. She was initially charged in 2022 with a count of felony misconduct and three counts of election fraud, and was found guilty of all charges. Zapata used her position at the Milwaukee Election Commission to request ballots under fake names and Social Security numbers, and then cast them for a candidate of her choice. As background, Republicans have been sounding the alarm about voter fraud since the 2020 election, and despite the mounting evidence, the Democrats and...

It’s reasonable to predict that Trump will officially declare an election fraud emergency, which will supercharge investigations into Chinese interference. With Tulsi Gabbard’s announcement last Friday that an ongoing intelligence agency investigation has evidence that election computers are vulnerable to cyberattack hackers, President Trump’s actions suggest he is moving quickly to declare an election fraud national security emergency. On March 24, 2025, when Trump issued Executive Order (“EO”) “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections,” he did so under the auspices of his Article II executive powers as commander-in-chief, placing it beyond judicial lawfare. Nevertheless, 19 Democrat state attorneys...

Secretary of the State Stephanie Thomas is urging all residents to oppose the federal Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE Act. In a release from her office Thursday, Thomas says the legislation is “bad for Connecticut, bad for voters and bad for taxpayers.” The U.S. House passed the bill this week. If it passes the Senate and goes into effect, the bill would require in-person voter registration with physical proof of citizenship and eliminate online and mail-in registration. Thomas warns everyone that the measure would place costly, unfunded mandates on municipalities, burden local election offices and open the door...

All 15 Arizona counties have now begun the process of verifying and removing noncitizens from their voter rolls, including nearly 50,000 registrants who did not provide proof of U.S. citizenship. "This settlement is a great result for all Arizonans," America First Legal (AFL) senior counsel James Rogers told Fox News Digital after his organization’s successful lawsuit spearheaded the process in Arizona. AFL filed the lawsuit against the 15 Arizona counties last year on behalf of EZAZ.org, and Yvonne Cahill, a registered voter and naturalized citizen, arguing that the counties had not been following a state law that requires proof of...

The North Carolina Supreme Court on Friday ruled that most of the 65,000 questionable ballots must count in the hotly contested judicial race. Earlier this week the North Carolina Supreme Court halted a previous order from the state appeals court requiring the verification of 65,000 questionable ballots. This case has been bouncing around between state and federal courts. The North Carolina Supreme Court race headed for a recount due to a close final tally as the Democrat pulled ahead two weeks after Election Day.

While votes streamed in during last week’s Wisconsin Supreme Court race, workers in Milwaukee handled ballots in secret back rooms forbidden to observers, according to multiple sources. One of these rooms also allegedly stored vast numbers of blank ballots. Wisconsin state Rep. Dave Maxey, a Republican, told The Federalist that Milwaukee elections director Paulina Gutierrez blocked observers from seeing multiple rooms in the city’s Central Count, where workers were processing ballots on Election Day. According to Maxey, one of these was the “secure ballot room,” which housed pre-printed blank ballots. “The reason I wanted to get into those rooms is,...

Arizona’s Democratic Attorney General, Kris Mayes, and Secretary of State, Adrian Fontes, have joined dozens of Democratic states in a lawsuit against the Trump Administration, challenging an executive order that makes it harder to cheat in elections and prioritizes prosecution of election crimes. The President’s March 25 Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections executive order mandates voter ID and documentary proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections, audits and improves the security of voting machines, and orders the DOJ to enforce the law against states that count mail-in ballots received after Election Day. It also prioritizes the...

Democrats hold only a 37% approval rating in Wisconsin, and voters passed a constitutional Voter ID amendment. How, then, did a Democrat secure a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court?

Wisconsin independent journalist and election fraud investigator Peter Bernegger expounded on his Telegram channel evidence of election fraud in last night's Wisconsin election results. Liberal Susan Crawford did not win the election last night. See how she committed election fraud at the end of this post. 2023 WI state supreme court race Brown County (Green Bay) results on the right. ~77,000 voted. Note the percentages. 2024 WI state supreme court race Brown County results on the left. ~100,000 voted. Virtually the same percentages. ...almost like an algorithm is running.

From Grok: “Yes, based on available data from the 2025 Wisconsin spring election, it appears to be true that over 100,000 more people voted in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race than on the Voter ID constitutional amendment question.”

I checked, and it’s true… 2025: Susan Crawford – 1,181,000 votes. Every other Dem SCOTUS candidate in history: • 2023: Janet Protasiewicz – 1,021,822 votes. • 2016: JoAnne Kloppenburg – 878,000 votes. • 2020: Jill Karofsky – 855,000 votes. •’2011: JoAnne Kloppenburg – 745,690 votes. So… despite the democrat party having historical nationwide low approval ratings (around 24%), they got more popular? 🤣

The Wisconsin Supreme Court race is no local, inconsequential election in a battleground state. “This Supreme Court election is ground zero. Every conservative voice should be sounding the alarm. If Brad Schimel doesn’t win on April 1st, the GOP will lose two House seats in 2026—and with them, the majority.” (X) “The Democrats are trying to redraw the districts in Wisconsin… to remove two house seats. That’s what this whole Supreme Court Justice race is about. So I really want to emphasize to people out there, if you’re in Wisconsin.. get out and vote for Brad Schimel.” (Elon Musk) The...

"The City of Milwaukee refuses to investigate the voter roll discrepancies and take action ahead of the crucial election. A grassroots election integrity group says it found nearly 5,000 questionable voter registrations still on Milwaukee’s rolls—just days before Wisconsin voters head to the polls in a pivotal election. But the city’s election commission refuses to investigate, raising serious concerns about election security and accountability. ... Fair Elections Wisconsin (FEW) submitted a formal challenge to 4,878 allegedly illegal voter registrations used to cast ballots in last November’s election. The Milwaukee Election Commission dismissed the challenge after a closed-door session, choosing not...

Institutions like the military and colleges are sometimes said to mirror society. One can only wonder where we are headed as a Country, but more importantly we must ask if individual schools are trend setters. Take the Ivy Leauge schools and their affinity for foreign students who hate America, or how they pushed degrees without merit until DEI created a need for the degrees. In sports cheating is usually limited to gaining an edge on the field... sometimes fame, power or money are additional motivators. Take Michigan University and the Athletic Program as a whole. Multiple team sports were cheating...

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has launched an official inquiry into allegations that a DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) activist offered exam answers to black and minority air traffic controller candidates. The controversy erupted after reports surfaced that the activist had been providing unfair advantages during the examination process, raising concerns over the integrity of recruitment practices within the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Duffy’s investigation seeks to uncover the full extent of the alleged misconduct that an air traffic candidate was allowed to cheat on an entry exam at the FAA. A report reveals that audio recordings captured Shelton Snow, a...

Three more Norwegian ski jumpers were suspended on Thursday in a widening cheating scandal that has shocked the sport. World championships medalists Robin Pederson and Kristoffer Eriksen Sundal were provisionally suspended along with Robert Johansson over suspicion of illegal manipulation of jump suits, the International Ski and Snowboard Federation said. They follow the suspensions on Wednesday of Olympic gold medalists Marius Lindvik and Johann André Forfang in a scandal that came to light after Norway team officials manipulated suits to improve aerodynamics and help athletes fly farther. FIS said it was asked to seize all jump suits used by Norway...
