Free Republic

The left has been speaking up lately about protecting our “democracy,” which seems unusual since usually they never talk proudly about the U.S., they just bash it and talk about moving to some whiter country instead. They almost sound patriotic. But nope, it’s just smoke and mirrors, which both allosw them to fool people into thinking the left cares about the country and to sneak in their radical agenda. Despite the fact the Founding Fathers were genius enough to create a Constitution that has lasted almost 250 years, arguably the longest in the world today providing the freest country, the...

As shocking as it may seem, the Democrats are right about something for once. Even a broken clock is right twice a day; even Eric Swalwell occasionally mates with someone who is not a Chi Com spy, shutting her eyes tight and doing her booty duty for Beijing. The Dems are right that we need election reform to save our democracy. I propose that we change how we conduct elections, good and hard.Now, the Democrats have a very different objective in reforming the election system than we do. They seek to make it easier for lazy and stupid people to...

How much can lack of election integrity cost you? It’s $4 trillion and rising, and it’s all that stands between you and the socialist takeover of America. Unsecure elections are the gateway to socialism. Setting aside controversies over the presidential race, post-election audits in Georgia show that at minimum Republican David Purdue should not have lost his Senate race, with ultra-left Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) ultimately won by a fraction of a point. Perdue won in November, but with 49.73 percent in a three-way race. But in Georgia, a candidate must break 50 percent to win outright. Otherwise it goes...

New York City's notoriously incompetent election officials have not finished tabulating the votes in the June 22 Democratic primary, with its novel ranked choice voting system. But the first choices of voters -- minus some 124,000 absentees -- nevertheless reveal some important things about the differences between different segments of the Democratic coalition in America's largest city. These initial results were a clear repudiation of the term-limited left-wing Mayor Bill de Blasio. Coming in first was Brooklyn borough president and former New York Police Department cop Eric Adams with 31.7%, well ahead of top de Blasio aide Maya Wiley, with...

Biden’s Department of Justice has decided to make a frontal assault on election integrity by suing the state of Georgia over its moderate and common-sense voter integrity law. This makes one thing abundantly clear: the left is terrified. The left knows they cannot win elections fair and square. Instead, they must double-down on their successful effort in 2020 to evade or repeal laws and provisions made to ensure election integrity. Georgia’s Election Integrity Act of 2021 threatens the left’s ability to benefit from voter fraud and irregularities. Consequently, they began to lie about the law, claiming that it would restrict...

This week, the Democrats' bill to federalize our elections, S.1, failed in the U.S. Senate. Thanks to the filibuster, the bill fell short of its needed sixty-vote threshold. The filibuster stopped a partisan power grab that was designed to protect the Democrats' majority. S.1 was a radical bill that would have made our elections less secure, and made it easier to commit voter fraud. It even would have even banned popular voter ID laws. We should all be thankful for Sen. Joe Manchin and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema for resisting calls from the radical left to eliminate the filibuster. Without them,...

S.1 failed to advance in the Senate, leaving progressives in disarray. For months, activists and politicians have pushed the phony narrative that new “Jim Crow” voting laws are putting democracy in peril, all to build pressure for a sweeping federal takeover of elections. But the euphemistically-named “For the People Act” has failed to win the support of even 50 Senators, prompting progressives to begin teeing up the backup plan: HR4, the Voting Rights Advancement Act. It’s easy to see why S.1 stalled. The bill upends the election systems of all 50 states. Its provisions eliminate voter ID laws, let partisan...
