Free Republic

This is the Democrat Party’s idea of “secure” elections in their one-party utopia. Investigative reporter Nick Shirley — the same journalist whose explosive February 2026 video we reported on here at The Gateway Pundit — knocking on doors and exposing the rotting corpse of the state’s Democrat-controlled election system, and the latest clip is pure fire. Meet Doris. She lives in California. According to the California Secretary of State’s own voter rolls, she is 126 years old and has cast ballots in 51 elections. There’s just one small problem. Doris is not 126 years old. She was born in 1940....

Socialist Nithya Raman might be familiar with a phrase widely misattributed to Joseph Stalin: “It’s not the people who vote that count, it’s the people who count the votes.” Not much voting went on in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, so Stalin probably didn’t say that. But the point about counting the vote stands. On Sunday evening, Raman overtook challenger Spencer Pratt for second place in the race for LA mayor. The trend seems likely to continue. We would like to report the ballots counted thus far as a percentage of the total cast, but unfortunately, we cannot: ballots...

How does the third place candidate win the majority of late arriving ballots? Last time around, Karen Bass lost the mayoral election both rounds and then won it with ‘late arriving ballots’. The way the game is being played this time is even sleazier with an attempt to knock out Spencer Pratt, who finished second on Election Night, in the first round with a whole lot of ‘late arriving ballots’ for the third place candidate, Nithya Raman. It’s not remotely credible for a third place candidate who finished on Election Night in the twenties to be picking up 40% of...

Essayli: ‘Protecting the integrity of California’s elections is a top priority for my office. California’s election system has serious structural vulnerabilities’ First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli confirmed Friday that his office is conducting multiple active election fraud investigations in coordination with the FBI’s Los Angeles field office. In a public statement, Essayli said: “Protecting the integrity of California’s elections is a top priority for my office. California’s election system has serious structural vulnerabilities. Universal vote-by-mail with no voter ID requirements creates conditions where fraud can go undetected and unpunished, eroding public confidence.” Without naming specific cases, Essayli pledged to...

In the chaotic aftermath of Los Angeles’s mayoral primary, a familiar pattern has emerged. Late mail-in ballots have dramatically narrowed Spencer Pratt’s lead over Democratic Socialist City Councilwoman Nithya Raman, raising serious questions about the reliability and fairness of California’s vote-by-mail system. While incumbent Mayor Karen Bass appears headed to the November runoff, the battle for second place has become a case study in how elections can shift under the cover of extended counting. This is not merely a procedural hiccup. With tens of thousands of ballots still outstanding, Raman has gained ground through batches that heavily favor Democrats, shrinking...

Krystal and Saagar discuss Spencer Pratt slipping in the LA Mayoral results as Trump claims it's rigged. VIDEO

@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...
