Tampering with federal election results is against the law, and a new study by Unite4Freedom exposes an explosive problem—federal election records of the vote are changing after the election has been certified. Is this Malice, ignorance or pathetically pervasive Apathy (MIA) by our election officials?

The opposition leader, who is leading the polls ahead of April's elections, says Viktor Orbán's party is orchestrating a smear campaign with secretly recorded intimate videos. Hungary's opposition leader Péter Magyar has accused Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's ruling Fidesz party of preparing a blackmail campaign against him involving a secretly recorded sex tape, escalating tensions ahead of April's parliamentary elections. Magyar, whose Tisza party leads Fidesz in opinion polls, said he suspects the governing party plans to release intimate recordings made with surveillance equipment. "I suspect they are planning to release a recording, recorded with secret service equipment and possibly...

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska’s Republican secretary of state will turn over sensitive information on every registered voter in the state to the U.S. Justice Department on Thursday after Nebraska’s highest court rejected a legal effort to block the move. Secretary of State Bob Evnen told The Associated Press that the Nebraska Supreme Court denied the injunction Wednesday. Last week, a state judge dismissed the lawsuit filed by government watchdog Common Cause, which sought to stop the release of voter information, including dates of birth, addresses and partial Social Security numbers, to the federal government. “This case threatens the unprecedented...

‼️I just spoke with Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who has asked me to add him as a cosponsor of the SAVE America Act We’re now at 45 Baby steps to SAVE America ‼️

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans rushed to approve legislation on Wednesday that would impose strict new proof-of-citizenship requirements ahead of the midterm elections, a long shot Trump administration priority that faces sharp blowback in the Senate.The bill, called the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility, or SAVE America Act, would require Americans to prove they are citizens when they register to vote, mostly through a valid U.S. passport or birth certificate. It would also require a valid photo identification before voters can cast ballots, which some states already demand. It was approved on a mostly party-line vote, 218-213.Republicans said the legislation is...

The House of Representatives passed a massive election integrity overhaul bill on Wednesday despite opposition from the vast majority of Democrats. The House passed Rep. Chip Roy's SAVE America Act, legislation that's aimed at keeping non-citizens from voting in U.S. federal elections. All but one House Democrat — Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas — voted against the bill. It passed 218 to 213. It is an updated version of the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, also led by Roy, R-Texas, which passed the House in April 2025 but was never taken up in the Senate. Whereas the SAVE Act would...

Rulings could mean easier paths to reelection for some New Mexico incumbents. SANTA FE — If he rebuffs a primary challenge, U.S. Sen. Ben Ray Luján is set to avoid a Republican opponent in his bid for a second term, after a potential GOP opponent was disqualified Tuesday for failing to meet ballot requirements.

In all, [Democrat] Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse...

A local Kentucky newspaper published an opinion article accusing Republican Senate candidate Daniel Cameron, who is black, of being a race traitor. The Louisville-based newspaper, the Courier Journal, published a piece by contributor Ricky L. Jones titled “Daniel Cameron is KY’s saddest Republican Senate candidate,” which included a subheadline calling him “the polished corporate spokesman for anti-Black backlash politics.” Jones alleged Cameron’s campaign message is, “Don’t worry, I’ll protect the White status quo in Kentucky and beyond.” Opinion: Daniel Cameron is KY’s saddest Republican Senate candidate | Opinion https://t.co/qKcltpUwah — Courier Journal (@courierjournal) February 11, 2026 Jones calls Cameron the...

snip Evans' affidavit, dated Jan. 28, cited five major areas of irregularities under investigation, including that: Fulton County has admitted that it does not have scanned images of all the 528,777 ballots counted during the Original Count or the 527,925 ballots counted during the state's first recount, a major loss of evidence. Fulton County has confirmed that during the Recount of votes, some ballots were scanned multiple times. "Ballot images made available in response to public record requests show ballots with unique markings duplicated within the ballot images," the affidavit said. During the Risk Limiting Audit, auditors counting the votes...

Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso (R-WY) blasted the Democrats’ ballooning list of demands to protect illegal migrant criminals — including making polling places “sanctuary locations” — instead of funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). During remarks on the Senate floor Tuesday, Barrasso highlighted the Democrats’ “Christmas list of demands” they are fighting for instead of agreeing to enforce immigration law and avoiding another partial government shutdown. “Democrats have come up with a Christmas list of demands, demands designed to appeal to their radical base. This growing list of Democrat demands makes it almost impossible to remove dangerous illegal immigrants...

As the United States advances toward the 2030 Census, a structural political realignment is quietly but relentlessly taking shape. It is not being driven by campaign slogans or cable news theatrics, but by population movement, economic performance, and policy outcomes that are increasingly difficult to ignore. Together, these forces are placing Democrats on the brink of a profound loss of electoral power in the 2030s, one that could permanently reshape the national political map. Fresh population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau have been analyzed by redistricting experts. The facts indicate a clear and persistent migration away from Democrat strongholds,...

Executive summary The SAVE Act would force applicants to present “documentary proof of United States citizenship” at registration and the bill explicitly lists acceptable documents including REAL ID-compliant state IDs that indicate U.S. citizenship, U.S. passports, birth certificates, and certificates of naturalization or citizenship (Congress text) [1] [2]. Advocates say these documents close a perceived verification gap, while critics warn the list excludes common IDs like standard driver’s licenses and would block millions who lack those specific papers (Campaign Legal Center; Brennan Center) [3] [4].

Reminder that the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of Americans support voter ID requirements. Don't let elected Democrats gaslight you into believing any different. The only reason you would oppose voter ID is that you want to CHEAT. Pass the SAVE Act!

A federal judge blocked the Trump administration's attempt to force Michigan to hand over its full, unredacted voter registration rolls. The judge ruled that federal law does not require the state to disclose voters' private information. U.S. District Judge Hala Jarbou of the Western District of Michigan dismissed a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Department of Justice after Michigan refused to provide a complete voter list containing personally identifiable details. Jarbou, who was appointed by President Donald Trump during his first term, granted the state's request to toss out the case. The dispute began last year as the Justice Department...

WASHINGTON — Sen. Lisa Murkowski became the first Republican senator to speak out against the SAVE Act, a sweeping election bill backed by President Donald Trump that would require proof of citizenship to vote nationwide.

Texas Senator John Cornyn has provided financial support to the campaigns of Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski and former Utah Senator Mitt Romney, both known for their votes to convict former President Donald Trump during his impeachment trials. Federal Election Commission (FEC) records reveal contributions from Cornyn’s Victory Committee to both senators’ campaigns after their high-profile votes to convict President Trump. According to FEC filings, the Cornyn Victory Committee donated $367,763.46 to Lisa Murkowski’s campaign for U.S. Senate. These contributions followed Murkowski’s 2021 vote to convict Trump during his second impeachment trial, led by then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, related to the...

Top Democratic lawmakers are digging their heels in opposition to a federal voter identification requirement, despite polling showing that close to three-quarters of their voters back it. A colossal 83% of US adults support requiring some form of government-issued photo ID to vote, including 71% of Democrats and 95% of Republicans, a survey by Pew Research last year found. Only 16% of American adults oppose it. “It’s Jim Crow 2.0,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) told MS NOW last week when presented with that polling data and asked about his opposition to the GOP’s Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE)...
