Why can't we use modern technology to vote?

A state judge has taken the unusual step of ordering a new Democratic mayoral primary in Connecticut’s largest city to be held after the Nov. 7 general election is completed. The decision comes after surveillance videos showed a woman stuffing what appeared to be absentee ballots into an outdoor ballot box days before the original primary. Superior Court Judge William Clark determined the allegations of possible malfeasance warrant throwing out the results of the Sept. 12 primary, which incumbent Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim won by 251 votes out of 8,173 cast. Absentee ballots secured his margin of victory. “The volume...

The Associated Press is suddenly very concerned about vote fraud via ballot stuffing in drop boxes. Allegations of drop box vote fraud is not coming from the "usual suspects" -- what they would describe as "right-wing conspiracy theorists" -- but rather from two Democrat candidates running for mayor of Bridgeport, Connecticut.You can read the AP concern in the headline of their Saturday article by Christina A. Cassidy and Susan Haigh, "Drop boxes have become key to election conspiracy theories. Two Democrats just fueled those claims."

A woman approaches a drop box in the dark with what appears to be handfuls of ballots. At a different drop box, someone else is seen making multiple trips to insert ballots. At yet another, the same car stops on at least three separate occasions, with different people stepping out and heading to the box. It’s not a trailer for the latest conspiracy movie about rigged elections. Instead, the video footage has become central to a real-world controversy over potential fraud involving ballot drop boxes, a favorite target of right-wing conspiracy theorists since former President Donald Trump’s loss in the...

The Wisconsin Supreme Court has banned absentee ballot drop boxes in the state, so they will not be able to use them no matter what happens with COVID. Justice Rebecca Bradley and the court’s conservative majority, including swing Justice Brian Hagedorn, ruled on the issue in 2022. “Nothing in the statutory language detailing the procedures by which absentee ballots may be cast mentions drop boxes or anything like them,” Bradley wrote in the ruling.

Wisconsin Public Radio reports, “The majority decision was written by Justice Rebecca Bradley and joined by the rest of the court’s conservative majority, including swing Justice Brian Hagedorn.” “Nothing in the statutory language detailing the procedures by which absentee ballots may be cast mentions drop boxes or anything like them,” Bradley wrote in the ruling. “WEC’s staff may have been trying to make voting as easy as possible during the pandemic, but whatever their motivations, WEC must follow Wisconsin statutes,” Bradley continued. “Good intentions never override the law.” Additionally, voters must personally deliver absentee ballots to the clerk’s office. Others,...

Arizona Secretary of State and current candidate for governor Katie Hobbs (D) charged that “efforts by right-wing extremists to observe ballot drop boxes is a fundamental invasion of a voter’s right to cast a ballot in total secrecy. The reason why we place our drop boxes in unsupervised public locations is meant to ensure a secret ballot. We don’t monitor these boxes in-person or by video cameras as part of our responsibility to ensure that no one has the right to observe another person voting.” Hobbs’ opponent in the governor’s race, former TV news anchor Keri Lake (R), challenged Hobbs’...

WASHINGTON, D.C. – This week, America First Legal (AFL) and its co-counsel, Wally Zimolong, reached a victorious resolution in a lawsuit against the Chester County Pennsylvania Board of Elections and its Board Members regarding the county’s patently illegal use of insecure ballot drop boxes. As a direct result of AFL’s suit, Chester County has agreed to implement perhaps the most stringent ballot drop box security measures in Pennsylvania.AFL’s lawsuit, which cited extensive surveillance video exposing people dropping multiple ballots in drop boxes in the county, compelled the County to put the following measures in place ahead of the 2022 midterm...

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) would love to find a new boogie man virus to keep us locked down in November, perhaps to avoid the behind-the-shed beating Democrats know is coming. The question is, which virus will it be?We have two contenders for now, though I wouldn’t be shocked if the CDC and their comrades at the WHO can witch-brew up a few more in the next ten weeks.Contender #1: MonkeypoxThe left went all-in on monkeypox to scare the bejeezus out of us but then had to hit the Bat ‘chute when they realized it was primarily affecting gay...

Biden issued Executive Order in March 2021, only a few days after stealing the 2020 Election, to steal elections into the future. One section in the order dealt with allowing third-party organizations (like Zuckerbucks) to infiltrate elections like they did in 2020. Rep. Claudia Tenney talked about Biden taking a backdoor approach to manipulate votes in upcoming elections. A U.S. congresswoman said on Tuesday that a Biden executive order could potentially use taxpayer dollars to fund the use of ballot harvesting, which could include the use of unsupervised ballot drop boxes, in U.S. elections — leaving election integrity experts highly...

ATLANTA (AP) — The expanded use of drop boxes for mailed ballots during the 2020 election did not lead to any widespread problems, according to an Associated Press survey of state election officials across the U.S. that revealed no cases of fraud, vandalism or theft that could have affected the results. Drop boxes also are a focal point of the film “2,000 Mules,” which used a flawed analysis of cellphone location data and ballot drop box surveillance footage to cast doubt on the results of the 2020 presidential election. In response to the legislation and conspiracy theories surrounding drop boxes,...

President Trump shared a triumphant post on Truth Social in response to news of the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s ruling to make absentee drop boxes illegal. “This means I won the very closely contested (not actually!) Wisconsin Presidential race because they used these corrupt and scandal-ridden Scam Boxes,” he stated. On Friday, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that the state’s standing statutory regulations require that absentee ballots be delivered personally to the clerk or an authorized representative of the clerk. Absentee drop boxes were found to have violated that requirement. According to the 4-3 ruling, The Gateway Pundit reported that drop...

Let’s begin with a basic truth that most of the corporate media continually ignore or obscure: President Trump’s endorsement is the single most powerful force in the universe of American politics. There’s never been anything quite like it. ..,.. Snip..... Trump’s endorsement basically won the race for JD Vance in Ohio, and for Ted Budd in North Carolina. In Pennsylvania, his endorsement did the same thing for Doug Mastriano in the governor’s race. This has happened again and again in 2022. Remember, Trump’s record is 92-7. That’s what makes the primary results in Georgia last night so curious and so...

A standing room-only crowd made up mostly of organized, left-leaning, political activists shouted, “Shame! Shame!” when commissioners in Pennsylvania’s Lancaster County voted to remove a ballot drop box placed at the county building on Monday, the day before the primary election.Now, instead of placing absentee ballots in the drop box located just three steps inside the door of the county building, voters will have to walk about 30 steps into the building, from the same door, to get to the Board of Elections office where they will hand their ballot directly to one of the workers.Anyone entering the building beyond...

On May 5th, Fox News host Tucker Carlson interviewed Catherine Englebrecht from True the Vote (TTV) and discussed a massive ballot harvesting scheme in the 2020 election. The work done by Englebrecht formed the basis for a documentary by Dinesh D’Souza that outlines the 2020 election fraud and how it was done using ballot mules. We noted at the time of the interview, it seemed odd that neither Tucker Carlson nor Catherine Englebrecht would mention the documentary movie “2000 Mules” that was premiering during the week of the interview. It all seemed rather curious. Well, now Dinesh D’Souza is stating...

The Pennsylvania state Senate passed legislation on Wednesday prohibiting ballot drop boxes and private funds used to manage elections. By a narrow margin of 29-20, the chamber advanced Senate Bill 1200 to eliminate the use of drive-through ballot returns. The revised election code will “require an elector choosing to return a ballot to a county board of elections, return it to an employee.” However, the employee whom the voter chooses must be “located in the county seat of the county board of elections.” Moreover, if a constituent cannot submit the ballot personally, the board of elections will grant an absentee...

True the Vote found 7 percent of mail ballots were trafficked… Happened in multiple swing states… Trafficked ballots dumped at drop boxes…

Ballot drop boxes should be placed at gas stations, talk radio host Andrew Wilkow said on Wednesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s The Wilkow Majority. “If Joe Biden is so confident that the rest of us don’t think he holds any blame here, then how about this one?” Wilkow asked. “Why don’t we start putting ballot drop boxes at gas stations and start the early voting now? You want early voting? You want convenience? Let’s start voting at gas stations right now, Joe Biden. Let’s have the midterms start right now. Put drop boxes next to the pump and see who gets...
