A Washington election observer has been charged with a felony after refusing to wear a mask during the November presidential vote count. Timothy Hazelo, a Republican from Oak Harbor, was charged last week with unauthorized access to a voting center over a dispute that started when he refused to don a mask while monitoring ballot-counters. Police were called on the 57-year-old when he refused to follow the mask-mandate that Island County Auditor Shelia Crider had imposed on local ballot-counting rooms — a measure that Hazelo says the elected official had no legal right to establish. We have to stand up...

Many of the promises President Donald Trump vowed to deliver upon were fulfilled on his first day in office, enthralling Republicans who celebrated the presidential actions. “Your head will spin when you see what’s going to happen,” Trump said in October of Day One. Trump vowed to launch the largest deportation in United States history, secure the border, end birthright citizenship, pardon January 6 defendants, unleash American energy, terminate federal DEI programs, and begin to drain the “deep state.” “We will demolish the ‘deep state.’ We will expel the warmongers from our government. We will drive out the globalists. We...

The North Carolina Supreme Court on Tuesday in a 5-1 vote blocked the state from certifying Democrat incumbent justice Allison Riggs as the winner of the race as her GOP opponent, Jefferson Griffin, challenges the election. As previously reported, North Carolina’s Supreme Court race headed for a recount due to a close final tally as the Democrat pulled ahead two weeks after Election Day. Democrat incumbent Sarah Riggs closed the race with 2,770,818 votes to GOP challenger Jefferson Griffin’s 2,770,193 votes. The race went to a recount since the vote difference is fewer than 10,000 votes.

North Carolina General Assembly elections were finalized Monday as officials issued certificates to the winners in three close legislative races from November that later became subject to recounts and formal protests. This ministerial action by election administrators also confirms that Republicans have lost their veto-proof control of the legislature — the result of outgoing state Rep. Frank Sossamon losing to Democrat Bryan Cohn by 228 votes.

It is not entirely easy to tell. There was no big announcement that the seemingly interminable vote counting was finally finished. The sites that provide vote totals, however, have carried the same totals for about a week, when previously they were updating many times a day. And so it may be safe to say that the presidential election of 2024 is finally over. It ends with over three million fewer votes cast in 2024 than there were in 2020. Is that fishy? With so many allegations of chicanery swirling around the 2020 election, the answer is obvious.Still, there may be...

The election is a month in the rear-view mirror, but all the votes have yet to be counted, and Democrats are still picking up seats with mysterious improvements in their ballot counts. It's a mystery wrapped up in an enigma. A sixth grader could get the votes counted in some of these elections in less time than it takes California to tabulate the ballots, and in places like Minnesota we are still finding out about ballots that mysteriously disappeared into trash cans, with the result being that a Democrat flipped a state legislative seat. 20 ballots weren't counted in a...

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has congratulated Republican politician Kevin McCarthy on becoming Speaker of the House of Representatives, telling him Ukraine is counting on his “continued support” and more U.S. aid. “Congratulations to [Kevin McCarrthy] on his election as the Speaker of the [United States] House of Representatives,” Zelensky wrote on social media. U.S. support in all fields has been vital for [Ukraine’s] success on the battlefield. We’re counting on your continued support and further U.S. assistance to bring our common victory closer,” he added.

Cameras at the vote counting facility in a Nevada county still counting midterm election votes stopped broadcasting overnight, officials said on Nov. 10. The livestream computer application that provides the feeds “lost connection with” the cameras at 11:24 p.m. on Wednesday, according to Bethany Drysdale, a spokesperson for Washoe County.All staff members left for the night about an hour before the issue and none returned until 7 a.m. on Thursday morning, county officials said.The connection was restored just before 8 a.m. on Nov. 10.The Washoe County security administrator was said to have reviewed security cameras at the building, which run...

With states like Arizona, Nevada and Alaska taking days to determine midterm election results, influential pollster Scott Rasmussen says there is overwhelming support for America to mandate ballots be in and counted by Election Day.“One of the 80% issues, and there aren’t a whole lot of 80% issues in America-one of them is that all ballots should be in by Election Day,” Scott Rasmussen said Wednesday night on the “Just the News, No Noise” TV show. “We should know the results on Election Day.”Such a new mandate would make it nearly impossible to have a system like ranked-choice voting, which...

Al Schmidt, a former Republican Philadelphia commissioner, remembers the day he was singled out by the most powerful man in the world. Then came the death threats. For months, the 51-year-old civil servant was tasked with others in Philadelphia to oversee the process that would determine who would win the 2020 presidential election. With 253 electoral votes already collected across the country for Joe Biden, Pennsylvania's 20 were critical. Then came the tweet from President Donald Trump saying Mr. Schmidt was being “used” to cover up voter fraud. “He refuses to look at a mountain of corruption and dishonesty.” Suddenly,...

The criminal acts taken by the Democrat party in this year’s election are unfathomable.  They did all they could to steal this election away from President Trump and the American people. Yesterday we reported on the abuse one Republican poll watcher in Michigan endured on Wednesday morning the day after the 2020 Presidential election:There were numerous activities that occurred in the room in Detroit where counting took place which appear to be criminal. Republican poll watchers were limited in the room and labeled with big signs like Jews in Nazi Germany.  Democrat poll watchers and ballot counters were not labeled...

As vote totals are close and results continue to return, the Trump campaign filed a lawsuit in the Michigan Court of Claims to halt vote counting until “meaningful access” has been granted. President Trump’s campaign claims that they have not been afforded fair access that is guaranteed by Michigan law.

As America braces to hear the results of the 2020 election, some experts have stepped forward to say "not so fast!" According to election officials, counting all the ballots could take weeks thanks to the brand new Common Core math standards. "Common Core has provided us a national framework for how to count things," said Florida election official Darla Dibbleton. "Unfortunately, it has required us to completely re-learn math. This is a nightmare. I don't even know what's true anymore. I can't even remember how to count to 10. Somebody help me!" Dibbleton then broke down sobbing in the middle...

In three battleground states, there have been efforts to begin counting absentee ballots before the end of Election Day. Almost all states do not start counting absentee ballots until the polls close in their states. But with the expected crush of mail-in ballots, the odds of counting all of them in a single night are close to zero. That means that Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania will be many days—perhaps weeks—counting the ballots. There have been efforts to speed up the process by allowing officials to begin counting before Election Day. In Michigan, the Republican legislature wrestled with the problem and...

A Washington Post op-ed published Thursday suggested Americans should prepare for war if the election result is anything but a landslide for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. The op-ed, titled “What’s the worst that could happen?” is written by Rosa Brooks, a law professor at Georgetown University. In it, Brooks notes that the Transition Integrity Project, which she co-founded, “built a series of war games,” gathered participants “and asked them to imagine what they’d do in a range of election and transition scenarios.” “A landslide for Joe Biden resulted in a relatively orderly transfer of power. Every other scenario we...

I am a Computer Programmer with 40+ years of experience. If I were allowed to program anything that tallied votes, the probability that a Democrat would ever win an election would be very low. But I haven't been allowed to tally votes, Democrats have; and IOWA has exposed them. ML/NJ

Chairman Hanan Melcer of the Central Election Committee has ordered that attorney Itamar Ben-Gvir, a representative of the Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) faction of the United Right, not be allowed to enter the Knesset and observe the process of counting votes. Ben-Gvir said in response, "It sounds very bad and is starting to look like a banana republic. At first, Michael [Ben-Ari] was disqualified, and then Justice Melcer refused to promote me to Michael's place that was reserved for Otzma Yehudit. He also delayed our campaign and rejected a petition against Facebook, which found fit to block my page five...

A new trend in math at elementary schools around the country has parents pulling out their hair. Mainly because it is the opposite of how most of today's adults were taught to do simple multiplication in the first place. According to a Common Core math worksheet that's gone viral, an elementary child today cannot just say, "5 x 3 = 15." Instead they have to change the multiplication problem to addition before solving the equation. However, if the child says, "5 + 5 + 5 = 15," they will still lose points because the problem must be written as it...
