If you listen to Katie Hobbs, the Arizona Secretary of State and gubernatorial candidate running against Kari Lake, you would think that Lake represents the greatest threat to public confidence in the upcoming election. She continually claims that Kari Lake “won’t accept” the results of the election if she somehow loses. (As if “not accepting” election results somehow voids the election.) But there is a much more significant and glaringly obvious problem with the governor’s race that Hobbs never seems to mention. The Arizona Secretary of State is charged with overseeing the election and ensuring its accuracy and validity. How...

IBM developed pre-scored punched cards and the Port-A-Punch card punch. In the early 1960's, two professors at the University of California at Berkeley adapted this for voting. Joseph P.

They made several improvements to the Port-A-Punch, patented them, and formed Harris Votomatic, Inc. to sell the result. Direct Recording Electronic Voting MachinesIn 1898, Frank...

On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman ruled that Biden’s executive action was unconstitutional because Congress didn’t approve the sweeping plan. In fact, the judge claimed it was one of the largest executive branch overreaches in the "history of the United States." The handout, announced by Biden in August, was intended to provide upwards of $20,000 of student debt relief to borrowers making under $125,000 a year. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the plan would have cost American taxpayers over $400 billion. The Federalist co-founder Sean Davis wrote, "Doesn’t matter to Biden. Its only purpose was to buy votes...

The Twitter exec who censored The Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden — and brazenly likened members of the Trump administration to Nazis — has quit just days after getting public support from new boss Elon Musk. Yoel Roth, 35, until Wednesday had continued pushing the site’s shifting policies on trolling and hateful conduct — and appeared alongside new owner Musk, 51, in defending the platform in a crunch meeting with advertisers that same day. But Twitter staffers were told on Slack on Thursday that Roth was the latest key exec to have resigned, according to employees. Roth also confirmed his...
