President Trump lost the tools necessary to examine the 2020 election process for fraud when he left office on January 20, 2021. He regained those tools on January 20, 2025. The questions were the same on both dates, although we know more now than we knew then -- or so we think.Too many examinations of the events in the country between Dec. 15 and Jan. 6 , 2021, are built on the premise of what we we think we know as a result of examinations that took place over many months and years AFTER the election of November 3, 2020....

The court agreed to hear the matter after the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the law in 2024. The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear a case addressing whether states may count ballots that arrive after Election Day. The Republican National Committee and Mississippi Libertarian Party challenged the state's law permitting the counting of ballots postmarked by Election Day should they arrive within five days, Politico reported. The court agreed to hear the matter after the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the law in 2024. President Donald Trump, for his part, has long been a...

The Ohio governor race has started to come into focus as voters look ahead to the 2026 election contests, and a recent poll has shown Democrat hopeful Amy Acton ahead of Republican frontrunner Vivek Ramaswamy—if only by a slim margin. The poll, conducted on behalf of the Ohio Federation of Teachers, shows Acton with a higher favorability among Ohio likely voters—including a potentially key 21-point advantage among independent voters—but Ramaswamy's campaign has disputed these results. Ohio will face an open election for governor after incumbent Mike DeWine serves out his term-limited time in office. Ohio has elected only 1 Democrat...

A noncitizen mayor in Kansas has been busted on several charges after voting illegally in several elections despite his status. As Fox News reported, Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab and Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach announced they filed charges in Comanche County against Clearwater, Kansas Mayor Joe Ceballos, a permanent resident from Mexico, for voting in elections in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Kobach said Ceballos has been charged with three counts of voting without being qualified and three counts of election perjury. The Kansas Reflector notes that both are felony offenses. Kobach also stated that his charges carry a...

Pennsylvania voters on Tuesday opted to retain three Democrat justices on the state Supreme Court, preserving a 5-2 liberal majority that pro-life advocates warn will expand abortion access to any reason throughout all nine months of pregnancy. With more than 54% of the vote tallied, 62.3% voted yes to retain Justice Christine Donohue, 62.5% for Justice Kevin Dougherty and 62.4% for Justice David Wecht. The outcome ensures Democrats maintain control of the court, which pro-life groups had urged voters to reject as a direct threat to unborn children. The Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation, in a pre-election alert, called on voters to...

We apparently are not on a roll with some kind of conservative momentum. Leftist Democrats of the worst kind made inroads into political power yesterday. — NYC elects a radical Muslim. — Virginia threw out all reason and elected radical leftists to the Governorship and Attorney General, who had made violent threats. — Democrats flipped two red seats in MS breaking the Republican supermajority. — in my neck of the woods, Texas senate district 9 is going to a run-off after a DEM bested two Republicans for a plurality of votes. This was surprising as the polling place I revisited...

Not only did the Democratic candidates sweep the state's three major races — governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general — the party also picked up 13 seats in the House of Delegates, giving them a hefty majority of 64-35, with one race remaining undecided. The blue wave Dig deeper This is a significant expansion of the Democrats' power in the state House, taking their previously slim 51-49 majority up.

William Wolfe 🇺🇸 @William_E_Wolfe It’s incredibly important to understand that Mamdani was not actually elected mayor of the historic American city that we know as “New York City” because that city doesn’t exist anymore. Due to intentional mass replacement immigration, New York City is now a third world metropolis wearing the Big Apple as a skin suit. Americans didn’t elect Mamdani, foreigners did. And his election is not the beginning of the end for NYC—it’s a death certificate. Finally, it’s a reminder that everything right now inescapably comes back to immigration. If we don’t stop mass migration and accelerate deportations,...

WATCH: Nonprofit Executive Caught Instructing Illegal Immigrant to Vote in NYC Mayoral Election. La Jornada Executive Director Pedro Rodriguez Tells Undercover OMG Journalist Posing as an Unregistered Migrant to “Vote for the Guy That Starts with ‘M’” -Despite 501(c)(3) Regulation Prohibiting Political Activity by Tax-Exempt Organizations. Rodriguez Acknowledges Knowing the Individual Is “Not Registered” Before Advising him How to Vote - a Potential Violation of Federal & State Election Laws. In a Prior Encounter with James O’Keefe, Rodriguez Was Caught Falsifying Documents to Provide Illegal Immigrants with NYC Residency. “You’re not registered? Okay.” “It’s three guys. Vote for…the guy that...

Though many blue states protest, states are required to submit voter data to the DOJ under federal election laws to enable verification of voter eligibility, prevent non-citizens from voting illegally, and detect duplicate registrations or multiple votes across jurisdictions. Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon announced that states that do not comply with Justice Department requests to examine voter rolls face lawsuits, eight of which have already been filed. "We've been asking states to produce the data of their voter rolls, to be able to make sure that they only have citizens on the rolls and that they...

When the election integrity laws are this bad, you almost wonder if it’s on purpose. In New Mexico, it’s almost impossible to prove voter fraud. No proof of citizenship is required to register to vote, and no voter ID is required for in-person voting. For absentee voting, no photo ID is required to obtain an absentee ballot, no copy of a photo ID need be included with the returned absentee ballot, and there is no signature verification of the signature on the returned inner envelope. Why does New Mexico have such slipshod laws? You can thank the Democrat-controlled state Legislature...

The Department of Justice charged voting machine company Smartmatic with conspiring to bribe foreign officials and money laundering in an alleged effort to win business in the Philippines. Several executives from the company allegedly bribed election officials in the Philippines with more than $1 million.The payments were made between 2015 and 2018 and were aimed at obtaining a contract with the country’s government for its 2016 presidential election and receiving payment for its work, a filing in a Miami federal court said. Smartmatic won contracts for nearly $200 million. The DOJ had added Smartmatic to its case against three Smartmatic...

As mail-in ballots began arriving for California's redistricting plan, voters in some counties have found a strange feature in their ballot envelopes: A hole that shows if they voted "no." Check it out: VIDEO AT LINK............. And lest anyone think this is just a bunch of conspiracy theorists overreacting, the Los Angeles Times addressed the issue with a statement from the California Secretary of State. California Secretary of State Shirley Weber on Monday pushed back against a torrent of misinformation on social media claiming that mail-in ballots for the state's Nov. 4 special election are purposefully designed to disclose how...

In September, I wrote about a disturbing case of Democrat lawlessness. Commissioners in Fulton County, Georgia (the Atlanta area), had refused to allow two Republicans to serve on the Election Board, despite a court order from Judge David Emerson of Fulton County Superior Court. The County may be subject to a $10,000 fine per day until the appointments are made. DEMOCRATS CONTINUE TO BREAK THE LAWRecently, I raised this issue in a conversation with Garland Favorito (Garland), a co-founder of the nonprofit organization VoterGA, and someone who knows more about Georgia election matters than anyone else. Garland noted that the...

We have the initial tally of ballots returned for the Nov 4th CA special election on Prop 50, Newsom's corrupt redistricting scheme — and it spells trouble for the NO side! But there's still time to win! Plus, in some counties, your vote may be seen from outside of the sealed ballot envelope! WATCH! 0:00 We've got the initial tally of ballots 0:03 returned in California in the November 0:05 4th special election on Proposition 50, 0:09 Gavin Newsome's corrupt redistricting 0:11 scheme.

Law enforcement is investigating how 250 ballots ended up in a Maine resident's Amazon package, the secretary of state's office said Wednesday. “We are aware of the serious allegations that packages of ballots were received by a private citizen. Law enforcement is investigating the matter,” the office told WABI. The news outlet did not report which law enforcement agency that is. The alleged discovery comes just weeks before Question 1, a voter ID citizens referendum, is expected to appear on the Maine ballot. The news stories are unclear whether the question appears on the apparently blank ballots.

New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani holds a 20-point lead over his closest opponent, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, in a Suffolk University CityView poll released this week. The survey, which includes likely voters in November’s general election, shows Mamdani in the lead with 45 percent support, followed by Cuomo with 25 percent, Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa with 9 percent and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams with 8 percent. Cuomo and Adams are running as independents. Three other candidates — Conservative Party nominee Irene Estrada, independent Joseph Hernandez and independent Jim Walden — earn a combined 1 percent...

Nearly 80 percent of the equipment for staging the December 23 election in DR Congo’s capital, Kinshasa, was destroyed when a fire ripped through a warehouse, as violence flared just 10 days before the vote. The blaze, which officials blamed on arson, was the latest drama of an increasingly tense election campaign ahead of the December 23 election when the country will choose a successor to President Joseph Kabila. Also Thursday, a teenager was shot dead in the central Kasai region as party faithful gathered ahead of a rally by Felix Tshisekedi of the UDPS, one of the leading opposition...

On Monday, auditor Harri Hursti was interviewed by CNN, where he shared his surprise at the level of confusion being spread about the audit, as well as the “deliberate trolling” taking place. Hursti called it a malicious act that sends the wrong message. His interview was recorded by Windham audit observers and shared with UncoverDC. When asked about the similarities in the audit in Windham and the one currently underway in Maricopa Co., Arizona, Hursti declared that voters in New Hampshire should have faith in their elections. Claiming the audit in Windham is different because their investigation is about the...

Virginia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Abigail Spanberger appeared confident that she would succeed Gov. Glenn Youngkin (D-VA) as the next chief executive of the Old Dominion on the first day of early voting. At a campaign rally outside the Fairfax Government Center, Spanberger encouraged a group of supporters to cast their ballots early as she seeks to defeat Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears (R-VA) in the November showdown. “I look forward to the next 45 days of early voting for encouraging people to use their voices in casting their vote,” Spanberger said before reminding the crowd of the early voting window. “I...
