Voters won’t be able to use drop boxes, nor may they let someone else mail or return their absentee ballot to clerks in the April general election.MADISON, Wis. (CN) — The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Friday declined to extend, through an upcoming April election, a stay of a recent lower court order banning the use of absentee ballot drop boxes and the return of an absentee ballot by someone other than the voter. The decision casts further doubt on these election practices in future Wisconsin elections, including consequential contests for a U.S. Senate seat and the governorship this fall. Taxpayers...

Senator Bob Onder (R-St. Charles County) joined Christina Bobb on OAN this week to discuss the latest on the Missouri redistricting map. Late this week Senator Onder and others filibustered the Missouri RINO attempt to hand Democrats a huge victory in this deep red state. We reached out to Senator Onder this is what he told us. "As you know, every 10 years there is a Census and congressional district lines are re-drawn. The Biden Administration was slow to get states the numbers (“because of COVID”), and they weren’t available this year until August. Most states’ governors called special sessions...

A Wisconsin judge has ruled that the controversial absentee ballot drop boxes widely used in the 2020 election are not allowed under state law; a decision that could dramatically impact voting in the swing state’s midterm elections — not to mention the 2024 presidential election — if the judge’s ruling stands.As reported by The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Michael Bohren, after hearing three hours of arguments, determined state law allows absentee ballots to be returned in person or by mail — but not in a ballot drop box.🚨BREAKING: A Wisconsin judge has ruled that the absentee...

President Joe Biden called for widespread vote-by-mail and ballot drop boxes across the country, claiming that Republicans were “subverting democracy” with new voting integrity laws to block them. The laws passed in March and signed by Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp added stricter ID requirements to obtain an absentee ballot and limited ballot drop boxes. The laws also make it illegal to mass-mail absentee ballots to all voters.

I have long been convinced that Nature has all the solutions we need to solve our past ... that will be the primary source of the treasures and solutions that we seek." ~Professor Satashi Omura, Nobel co-laureate for the discovery of ivermectin Looking at 2019 CDC guidance, one has to wonder if one of the reasons why there is such a run on ivermectin is because our own government is using it. And no, not for horses, but for refugees. Yet these same government agencies are running a blood libel-style smear campaign against the drug and its users by misleading...

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is finally changing his tune as the findings from the audit in his state are revealed, particularly pertaining to the massive fraud center of Fulton County. “Restoring confidence in our elections is going to be impossible as long as Fulton County’s elections leadership continues to fail the voters of Fulton County and the voters of Georgia. They need new leadership to step up and take charge,” he wrote in a Twitter post. “New revelations that Fulton County is unable to produce all ballot drop box transfer documents will be investigated thoroughly, as we have...

“I don’t know about that… I don’t have it in front of me… we’re looking into that…”These weren’t the vague, non-committal words of the President of the United States on the phone call leaked by theWashington Post newspaper – which has recently taken millions of dollars from the Chinese Communist Party – this Sunday. They were the statements of the establishment Republicans on the call: Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, Ryan Germany, and Deputy Secretary of State Jordan Fuchs on the January 2nd call.Despite the partisan framing from the Washington Post – that the call somehow reflected Trump making demands...

President Donald Trump on Monday morning announced that there will be “big news” in Pennsylvania as he challenges the election results in the commonwealth.“Big news coming out of Pennsylvania,” Trump wrote, without elaborating. “Very big illegal ballot drop that cannot be accounted for. Rigged Election!”It’s not clear if the president was referring to the appeal that his campaign filed on Sunday in the U.S. Supreme Court, previously revealed information by third parties, or a new development. The Epoch Times reached out to Trump’s campaign for comment, but hasn’t yet received a response.Trump’s campaign’s case (pdf) is attempting to reverse three...

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - California Republican Party leaders, egged on by President Donald Trump, vowed on Wednesday to keep collecting ballots that voters deliver to party-furnished drop boxes in churches, gun shops and campaign offices, a practice they defended as perfectly legal. Republicans were responding to a cease-and-desist order on Tuesday from California’s top elections official, Secretary of State Alex Padilla, demanding removal of “unauthorized and non-official” vote-by-mail ballot boxes set up by the party in at least three counties. Padilla and state Attorney General Xavier Becerra, both Democrats, said they were giving party officials until Thursday to comply with...

California Republicans are defending their use of ballot “drop boxes” as a legal form of “ballot harvesting” after California’s Democratic state election officials sent them a cease-and-desist letter demanding that they stop using them. On Sunday evening, the Orange County Register reported that unsanctioned ballot drop-off boxes — many of them marked “official” — were appearing throughout the state, often at “local political party offices, candidate headquarters and churches.” On Monday, California Secretary of State Alex Padilla and Attorney General Xavier Becerra wrote the California Republican Party (CRP) a “cease-and-desist” letter ordering them to stop using the drop-off boxes.

An Ohio judge has temporarily blocked the Republican secretary of state’s order limiting counties in the critical presidential battleground to one ballot drop box, and the state and Republicans have appealed. A judge in Franklin County, home to the state capital, blocked the directive Wednesday after Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose, who oversees Ohio elections, failed to voluntarily respond to his declaration that the order was arbitrary and unreasonable. The state immediately appealed, and the Ohio Republican Party followed suit late Thursday. The faceoff makes unclear how many drop boxes will be available to Ohio voters just 2½ weeks...
