Auditors found one in 35 voters didn’t have proof of citizenship — then looked the other way.After revelations that Oregon’s “motor voter” system registered hundreds of possible noncitizens, the state government launched an audit. Auditors found one in 35 voters didn’t have proof of citizenship — then looked the other way.Oregon officials discovered in September hundreds of potential noncitizens had registered to vote. They examined limited data and eventually found the motor voter system had placed more than 1,600 possible ineligible voters on the rolls. State leaders commissioned an audit — which, as Oregon journalist Jeff Eager first reported, found...

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday confirmed he's seriously considering two options to try to redraw California's congressional districts to get more Democrats elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. The update comes after President Donald Trump earlier this week urged Republican state lawmakers in Texas to help the party pick up five seats in that state. Gov. Greg Abbott has directed the state Legislature to discuss redistricting in an upcoming special legislative session. Unlike Texas, the California Legislature does not draw district maps. Every 10 years, the state's independent redistricting commission undertakes the work through a lengthy, citizen-led process. Voters...

Welcome to 2025, where we are still uncovering election fraud from the 2020 and 2022 elections. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is investigating more than 100 possible noncitizens who may have voted in both the 2020 and 2022 elections, casting more than 200 ballots. In this case, most of the suspected illegal ballots were cast in Harris County. Paxton is also investigating in Guadalupe, Cameron, and Eastland counties, based on information from the Texas Secretary of State. Add the possible 100 fraudulent voters announced this week to the 33 potential noncitizens who may have voted illegally in 2024. Paxton started...

Washington, D.C. council members voted to approve funding for ranked choice voting July 14 in the first of two votes on the District’s budget. The measure, known as Initiative 83, would allow unaffiliated voters to participate in the party primary of their choosing and gives voters the option to rank candidates on the ballot from their most desired contender to the least. The winning candidate must receive more than 50 percent of votes to advance as the elected official. If no candidate wins that majority, then an “instant runoff” occurs: The candidate who received the fewest first-choice rankings is eliminated,...

Jim Harbaugh’s Legacy Tainted by Mounting NCAA Violations. ‘How Many Level 1 Violations at 1 School Do You Need?’ NCAA President Charlie Baker said, according to an article from ESPN, “At the end of the day, no one believes at this point that Michigan didn't win the national title fair and square.”

The New York City mayor's race is this way by design. The polls showing that Zohran Mamdani, a socialist and Muslim terror supporter who only became a citizenship in 2018, could become the mayor of New York City, where his compatriots murdered thousands of Americans, may or may not be true, but there’s no reason why they wouldn’t be. Mamdani is up against Cuomo, a repulsive and widely hated figure that opponents of the Muslim socialist are only getting behind because the alternative is even worse, and then Mayor Eric Adams, whom much of the city probably right believes is...

An appeals court on Friday revived a legal challenge against a Washington, D.C., law allowing noncitizens, including illegal migrants, the ability to vote in local elections. An Obama-appointed judge in March 2024 dismissed a lawsuit challenging the district law giving certain noncitizens the right to vote in elections within the District of Columbia, ruling that the plaintiffs did not have standing to sue. However, an appeals court Friday breathed life back into that challenge, finding that the law could dilute the voting power of citizens. “As long as each person can be said to have suffered a distinct and concrete...

Colorado .. tried to bar President Trump from the 2024 ballot—only to be rebuked unanimously by the Supreme Court—is now under scrutiny for far more than election antics. Colorado has become ground zero for judicial tyranny, a place where whistleblowers are crushed, innocent men are financially destroyed, and courtrooms operate more like cartel headquarters than halls of justice. The case of Tina Peters, the Mesa County clerk-turned-election integrity advocate, is finally drawing attention from the Department of Justice. After years of political persecution, Peters’ case has shifted from the DOJ Civil Division to the Criminal Division, with officials asking if...

Given the chance, Democrats will choose voter registration over deportation. On Wednesday, Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., suggested granting citizenship to every illegal alien in the country. According to Frost, if Republicans don’t want illegal aliens in America, the fix is simple — just make them legal. But his comments are revealing and expose the endgame of the modern Democrat Party: use the border crisis that they created to cement their permanent political power. And that’s exactly why President Donald Trump must follow through on mass deportations –with no exceptions — because given the chance, Democrats will choose voter registration over...

Rep. Abe Hamadeh (R-AZ) sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday, asking the DOJ to investigate “credible claims” of election security violations involving the Arizona-based ballot printing firm, Runbeck Election Services. Runbeck provides ballot printing and mail-in ballot services in 31 states and 54% of the nation’s voters, according to its website. The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on this shady private entity, which was founded by leftists and transports and scans Maricopa County mail-in ballots with no oversight or chain of custody before they are processed and counted by the County. As revealed in Trump-Endorsed former...

In a new legal memorandum filed with the New York Supreme Court, Fox News accused Smartmatic executives – including CEO Antonio Mugica – of “spoliation of records” related to the high-stakes lawsuit, which stems from Fox’s coverage of the 2020 election. The conservative network pointed to explosive internal communications to support its claims. “On the eve of filing this lawsuit, and while the U.S. Department of Justice was investigating Smartmatic and its executives for bribery and corruption, Smartmatic’s CEO Antonio Mugica, in writing, ordered Smartmatic’s President Roger Piñate Jr. – who has since been federally indicted for those crimes –...

Colorado’s Secretary of State revealed Wednesday that the U.S. Department of Justice asked Colorado to turn over all records that relate to the 2024 federal elections and preserve all records from the 2020 election. The election official sent an email highlighting reporting by NPR, which said the DOJ request was made on May 12. “What they’re going to do with all this data, I don’t know,” Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, a Democrat, told NPR and shared with FOX31 via email. “But I’m sure they will use it to push their ridiculous disinformation and lies to the American public.”...

The No. 2-seeded Rebels shut out No. 4 Bloomington Jefferson, 6–0, in the Class AAAA Minnesota high school girls’ softball championship game Friday morning at Jane Sage Cowles Stadium on the campus of the University of Minnesota.

Simone Biles took offense to OutKick contributor Riley Gaines calling out a Minnesota high school whose softball team won a state championship Friday with a transgender pitcher. Marissa Rothenberger, a transgender athlete, tossed a shutout to continue a dominant postseason and give Champlin Park High School a state championship. The Minnesota State High School League posted a photo of the team on social media after the game, and Gaines noted the comments on X were turned off. “To be expected when your star player is a boy,” Gaines wrote. Biles, a seven-time Olympic gold medalist, saw the post and told...

A Harvard graduate, a doctor and an actress have been at the center of social media storms over perceived privilege. Some see economic anxiety behind it. What do a Chinese commencement speaker at Harvard, an actress posting selfies and a trainee doctor at a Beijing hospital have in common? Not much — except that they’ve all found themselves at the heart of fierce online debates in China about privilege and inequality. The three disputes, which have dominated Chinese social media in recent weeks, all featured accusations that the main players had gotten ahead by dirty means, whether that was true...

Piers Morgan called out a trans-identifying male semi-pro pickleball athlete to his face and said, "You're cheating" when you compete against female athletes in the sport. During Monday's episode of "Piers Morgan Uncensored," the host was speaking with the biological man, who goes by the name of Sara Weiss, who attempted to argue that there was nothing wrong with him competing against women despite the fact that girls have been severely injured by playing against boys. Morgan said it is a fact that the reason we separate the sexes when it comes to sports is because "males have a biological...

Newly leaked test results prove that Olympic boxer Imane Khelif does have male chromosomes — after the International Olympic Committee dismissed the claims as “not legitimate” and let her compete in the Paris 2024 Games. Khelif – a 26-year-old who has long maintained she is female — was found to have male XY chromosomes in a 2023 test carried out by an accredited Indian doctor, newly obtained test results leaked by 3 Wire Sports show. “Chromosome analysis reveals male karyotype,” read the test results — referring to male chromosomes – which left Khelif barred from the 2023 women’s World Boxing...
