@GuntherEagleman GOOD! Supreme Court Signals It Will STRIKE DOWN All State Laws Allowing Ballots to Be Counted AFTER Election Day! No more shady midnight drops. No more “find more ballots” nonsense. No more weeks of extended counting that destroys trust. Elections must end on Election Day, ballots in by close of polls, counted that night. Period.

A U.S. citizen was found not guilty Tuesday of illegally voting in the 2018 election when she was a lawful permanent resident of the United States. A guilty verdict would have led to up to 18 months in prison for Maria Dearaujo, 63. But Franklin County Common Pleas Judge Chris Brown sided with the defense’s argument of entrapment. This generally entails a government actor leading a person into committing a crime they wouldn’t have otherwise committed. Brown, a Democrat, said Dearaujo’s trial testimony lines up with the documentary evidence. She admitted to “inconvenient” facts like having voted when she knew...

President Donald Trump has called for the Department of Justice to open an investigation into the state of Maryland for sending out mail-in ballots to individuals of the incorrect political party ahead of the state’s closed primary elections. #BREAKING: Trump demands DOJ probe into Maryland voting, allegedly 500,000 illegal mail-in ballots were issued.— Insider Wire (@InsiderWire) May 18, 2026After the mistake, the Maryland Board of Elections made the decision to mail out additional correct ballots despite having no ability to indicate which ballots were originally sent out incorrectly. Elections officials have not publicly released a plan for how to invalidate...

‘Taken together, you see a playbook not used since Elijah Cummings and the IRS targeting scandal days,’ PILF’s Logan Churchwell said. Recent stinging redistricting losses not withstanding, Democrats at least outwardly remain confident about their chances to take back the House in November. And the left-wing legal apparatus is laying the groundwork to go to war on election-integrity warriors the minute they have a friendlier Congress to work with. The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) has been tracking the left’s playbook as Democrats line up their targets for the next session of Congress. “You are going to see a nationwide...

New Vegas betting odds heavily favor former Biden Cabinet official Xavier Becerra in California’s crowded governor’s race — and it’s not even close. Prediction market Polymarket currently gives Becerra a commanding 52% chance of winning the 2026 gubernatorial contest, far outpacing his nearest rival, billionaire Democrat Tom Steyer, who trails at around 32%. The sharp divide underscores just how dramatically Becerra has surged from early uncertainty to become the race’s dominant frontrunner.

DOZENS OF ELECTIONS WORKERS WHO FACILITATED THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN PENNSYLVANIA have come forward claiming that they were PERSONALLY ORDERED by then Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf and Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar to TRASH A TOTAL OF OVER ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND BALLOTS CAST FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP and to count OVER ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND FRAUDULENT BIDEN BALLOTS that were cast in the names of dead voters and illegal aliens and shipped into election precincts in the middle of the night. The fraud was reportedly especially egregious in Philadelphia and was "outcome determinative"... President Trump was right that he actually WON...

In recent years, most of us who follow politics have become pretty jaded. Outrageous things happen, outrageous acts are perpetrated, usually by the left, and nothing ever seems to be done about it. That's changing some now, with the Trump Department of Justice looking to bring some people to account for some of the more egregious acts.Now, on Friday, the Chief of Protocol for the U.S. government, Monica Crowley, has claimed that the administration will soon produce proof that President Trump actually won the 2020 election. That would have to be pretty solid evidence for anything to come from it,...

Time to deploy it against the lawfare, election illegality, and other nationwide conspiracies that have targeted President Trump and his supporters in their efforts to Make American Great Again. Dr. Eastman, himself a target of lawfare since his representation of President Trump challenging illegality in the 2020 election, is a senior fellow at The Claremont Institute and a former, long-time professor of constitutional law.The Racketeer Influences and Corrupt Organizations Act, commonly known as “RICO,” was passed by Congress in 1970, part of that year’s Organized Crime Control Act. It was designed to reach not just the foot soldiers of organized...

A federal judge on Wednesday rejected a request to order the return of more than 600 boxes of voting material seized earlier this year by the FBI amid an investigation involving a Georgia county at the heart of President Donald Trump’s grievances about his 2020 election loss. U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee described the events surrounding the bureau’s January raid on an election warehouse in Fulton County — where Atlanta is located — as “in many ways unprecedented” and called some aspects of the investigation, including its reliance on previously debunked conspiracy theories, “troubling.” But Boulee concluded county officials had...

Heather Honey runs an organization called Verity Vote in Pennsylvania. She is a walking encyclopedia of information on how elections are actually run in this country. In the aftermath of the 2020 election in Pennsylvania, Heather began to hear some very disturbing things. Put simply, she began to acquire information that in counties around the state, more votes had been counted than the number of voters who voted. I’m not a math whiz, but I think we all understand that this is a big problem. Those two numbers – the number of people who voted and the number of votes...

Federal prosecutors’ stunning indictment of a left-wing activist group for alleged financial crimes is reverberating in Georgia’s 2026 Senate race, with Republicans targeting Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., for his past ties to the organization. The Department of Justice brought criminal charges against the Southern Poverty Law Center in April for allegedly defrauding its donors by secretly transferring money to extremist groups with the goal of infiltrating and monitoring their activities. Ossoff, the most vulnerable Senate Democrat running for re-election in 2026, is endorsed by the law center’s 501(c)(4) arm. The group contributed more than $700,000 to his campaign account in...

Do you ever wonder why so many Blue states refuse to hand over their voter rolls to the federal government? After all, there is a federal law that requires certain measures to ensure ballot integrity, passed in the wake of the 2000 Florida debacle. It requires, among other things, that states clean their voter rolls of ineligible voters. But these states refuse to do that, and they refuse to show that they aren't breaking federal law. Of course, every sentient person knows exactly why they do both of those things: they cheat, and want to make it as hard as...

… The North Carolina State Board of Elections found the thousands of dead individuals during its “ongoing effort to verify” voters United States citizenship, according to ABC11 News. In a statement, Sam Hayes, who serves as the executive director for NC’s State Board of Elections, expressed that the number was “higher” than they had “anticipated.” “While we expected to find some cases, this is higher than we anticipated,” Hayes said in a statement. “The benefit of entering into cross-state and federal database checks is that it allows us to uncover issues like this. Our goal is to use every available...

In January, the Franklin County Board of Elections in Ohio received a surprising call. The man on the line said he was an agent at the Department of Homeland Security – and he needed immediate access to voter records. Franklin County has a large population of Democrats and has long been a focal point of Republican skepticism about urban voting centers in Ohio. In the weeks that followed, the requests multiplied. According to emails reviewed by Reuters, the agent asked for voter registration forms and voting histories for dozens of voters – records that include driver's license numbers and other...

Mexican-Born Kansas Mayor Pleads Guilty to Illegally Voting in U.S. Elections Department of Homeland SecurityDHS John Binder24 Apr 2026143 2:15 Coldwater, Kansas, Mayor Jose Ceballos, a green card-holder from Mexico, has pleaded guilty to illegally voting in United States elections and falsely claiming to be an American citizen.

[…] This week, Ceballos pled guilty to three counts...

Apple Lamps@lamps_apple·14hI uploaded all of Marc Elias’s podcasts from the past six months that focus on the Supreme Court to NotebookLM. This is what it had to say...How Progressive Elites are Plotting to Dismantle the American RepublicA coordinated, apocalyptic narrative is currently being pushed by prominent progressive lawmakers, legal scholars, and activists, revealing a terrifying blueprint to completely dismantle the foundational institutions of the United States. Claiming that the nation is on the "precipice of absolute tyranny," these left-wing figures are actively utilizing extreme fear-mongering to justify an unprecedented structural power grab. Under the guise of "saving democracy," this coalition...

A Virginia circuit court judge on Wednesday struck down the state's voter-approved redistricting amendment in its entirety, ruling that the measure was unconstitutional from its inception and that every vote cast in Tuesday's special election — for or against — is legally void. Judge Jack Hurley, a Republican appointee, entered the sweeping final judgment on April 22, granting relief to the plaintiffs on all counts. He declared the proposed constitutional amendment "void ab initio" — Latin for void from the start — and permanently enjoined state officials from certifying the election results or taking any steps to implement new congressional...

Democrats scored a major victory on Tuesday as a congressional redistricting referendum that could give Democrats a significant boost in the battle for the U.S. House of Representatives majority in this year's midterm elections was passed by Virginia voters, the Associated Press reported at 8:49 p.m. ET. The ballot measure gives the Democrat-controlled Virginia legislature — rather than the state's current nonpartisan commission — temporary redistricting power through the 2030 election. It could result in a 10-1 advantage for Democrats in Virginia's congressional delegation, up from their current 6-5 edge. That would give the Democrats four additional left-leaning U.S. House...

A box containing hundreds of unopened Washington state ballots was reportedly discovered on the ground next to a dumpster behind a strip mall in Renton, raising serious questions about ballot handling and election security. Washington State Republican Party Chairman Jim Walsh said a concerned citizen brought the ballots to the GOP’s Bellevue headquarters after finding them discarded. “Earlier today, a concerned citizen contacted me and came and dropped off at the Bellevue headquarters a large box of ballots, Washington State ballots, specifically King County elections ballots, that were mailed to people and never received,” Walsh said in a video posted...
