BREAKING: Colorado cleans 372,000 names from voter rolls thanks to @JudicialWatch federal lawsuit and settlement. Judicial Watch lawsuits and legal actions have cleaned at least 6 MILLION dirty names from voter rolls...

It's easy to be a 'Doomer' these days, and while the GOP hasn't been exceptional, the choices have never been clearer. Although it's far worse for the left than the right, it's difficult to feel positive about the future given the circumstances of today. While we have a president willing to take chances and look at the big picture, we have other politicians ostensibly on the pro-freedom side that act like risk-averse church mice, afraid of their own shadows and unwilling to implement measures that garner support from most of the electorate. They are contrasted by the cruel and violent...

... Vance's popularity has dropped by 21% since the start of the term in 2025. Compared to other Vice Presidents in recent history, he holds the worst rating at this stage of a term, with a score of -18.

Richard Schenk heads the Democracy Interference Observatory (DIO) at MCC Brussels, a project dedicated to tracking the ways in which European institutions, Brussels-funded networks and certain political actors intervene in national campaigns across the European Union. In recent months, the observatory has focused much of its work on Hungary. Two days before this weekend’s parliamentary elections, Schenk argues that Budapest has become the main laboratory for a new form of European political pressure: less visible than in previous years, more sophisticated and, above all, built on regulatory, financial, and media instruments. For him, Hungary is no longer simply a conflict...

Hungarians go to the polls on Sunday in a vote that could bring down long-serving Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and have significant repercussions for the rest of Europe, the US and Russia. Most polls favour Péter Magyar, who formed a grassroots party after splitting from the ruling Fidesz party, but the night before the vote Orbán was in defiant mood. "We are going to achieve such a victory that will surprise everyone, perhaps even ourselves," he told several thousand supporters in a small square on Budapest's Castle Hill. Voting takes place from 06:00-19:00 (04:00-17:00 GMT) and results will start to...

Law enforcement officials cautioned that they had not yet determined a motive for the Pacific Northwest arson fires. But the messages have heightened the sensitivity of the investigation. Investigators responding to arson fires at two ballot boxes in the Pacific Northwest this week found devices at both scenes marked with the words “Free Gaza,” according to two law enforcement officials. Investigators are trying to determine if the perpetrator was actually a pro-Palestinian activist or someone using that prominent cause to sow discord, one of the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing. But the message...

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick on Wednesday said Texas Republicans are “going to have a tough time” holding onto their majority in the state House this fall, the latest and perhaps most notable sign yet of GOP unease about the midterm elections. Speaking at the Texas Public Policy Foundation’s annual conference in Austin, Patrick said it is imperative for the loser of Republicans’ rancorous Senate primary runoff — whether it’s U.S. Sen. John Cornyn or Attorney General Ken Paxton — to support the winner against Democratic candidate James Talarico. The Austin state representative locked up his party’s nomination in March and...

Election integrity is not some paranoid concern.AdvertisementIt is a real, documented, ongoing challenge that persists even in jurisdictions that have made serious efforts to secure the vote. Nowhere is that reality more evident than in Florida. Over the past several years, its Republican statehouse has enacted some of the most comprehensive election integrity reforms in the country.In 2021, lawmakers passed a sweeping overhaul that tightened voter registration rules. It shortened the duration of mail ballot requests, strengthened identification requirements for absentee voting, and imposed strict controls on ballot drop boxes and third-party registration groups. These were not cosmetic changes. They...

What the video is about: The video covers a heated legal and political battle in Riverside County, California. Republican Sheriff Chad Bianco (who is running for governor in 2026) used a judge-approved search warrant to seize over 650,000 ballots from the 2025 special election on Proposition 50 (a redistricting measure). Key events: Bianco's team (Riverside Election Integrity Team) flagged major discrepancies — for example, more votes tallied than ballots cast in some cases (over 45,000 in one reported instance). He launched an investigation into potential voter fraud. California's Democratic Attorney General Rob Bonta and other Democrats strongly opposed the move,...

Mahady Sacko, 50, who goes by the nickname “Sacko Scorpion,” was busted last week in Philadelphia for allegedly falsely claiming citizenship to cast a 2024 ballot. As the issue of election security ramps up in Congress with the SAVE act, Sacko’s arrest was one of nearly a dozen uncovered by The Post of non-citizens allegedly voting in US elections, sometimes for decades, with many remaining listed as active voters on state rolls, even after their convictions. “The reality is aliens are voting in American elections,” J. Christian Adams, president of Public Interest Legal Foundation, who has spent decades working on...

WASHINGTON (TNND) — White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the Save America Act during an exchange at an event with Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk.Leavitt and Kirk attended an event at George Washington University in Washington, where a student yelled out and asked if President Donald Trump’s efforts to pass the SAVE Act was worth the risk.The student said there were only a few hundred cases of voter fraud and asked if it was worth tightening restrictions on federal elections.“There is certainly much more, I believe, voter fraud in this country, and I’m sure those statistics back it...

🚨 BUSTED: Elections Volunteer CAUGHT Stealing Encrypted Access Key Just DAYS Before Trump-Endorsed Candidate “Loses” Florida Seat by 800 Votes! This is the same District as Mar-A-Lago. No way in hell… A Palm Beach County elections volunteer was just arrested for stealing an encrypted access key and sensitive computer equipment from a voter registration terminal — 5 DAY BEFORE the special election for Florida House District 87. • The Trump-endorsed Republican Jon Maples lost by only ~800 votes to Democrat Emily Gregory. • The theft happened INSIDE the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Office during official poll-worker training. Republicans...

The Nebraska Democratic Party denounced a Democratic candidate for Senate recently that they allege to be a “Republican Party plant,” CNN reported Monday, with the candidate being exposed for having supported President Donald Trump, opposed access to reproductive health care and attended a GOP-sponsored training event. Forbes spoke with CNN for its report Monday, in which he admitted that he had voted for Trump “in multiple elections” and had attended a GOP-backed leadership summit as recently as January. Nebraska Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb also provided CNN with screenshots from a now-deleted Facebook page that she said show Forbes attending...

Three weeks after the Georgia Senate failed to pass a bill requiring hand-marked ballots for the November elections, a revamped House bill with the same requirement was approved. In its original form, House Bill 960 would have added a 12th Superior Court judge to the Gwinnett Judicial Circuit. The amended bill presented by Sen. Greg Dolezal, R-Cumming, on Friday contained some of the same language as Senate Bill 568, which failed on crossover day. House Bill 960 still requires hand-marked ballots for the November 2026 general election and requires a manual recount of some elections. The new version reduces the...

A volunteer who participated in a training session at the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Office was arrested for stealing sensitive computer equipment, authorities announced Sunday. John Panicci was taken into custody March 28 at his home following an investigation into the theft of an encrypted access key from a voter registration terminal at the elections office. The incident occurred during a volunteer training session on March 19 for the March 24 election. According to detectives, Panicci stole the encrypted access key during the training at the elections office located at 4301 Cherry Road. While the stolen key was...

I am re-running my stolen election pieces while the SAVE Act languishes in the Senate. The fact that it is not passed, indicates that both R and D are fully compromised. The Democrats are lost, but RINOs need primarying hard. They are like the politicians in Canada who won’t stop MAID. We need MAID up here because our health system is so overburdened we need people to die. And Fast. With voting, the only people who have made a difference are people on the ground, in the precincts that have fought this fight hard, since 2020. That we know this...

even years. That's how long Republicans in North Carolina waited for a federal court to do the right thing. On Thursday, they finally got their answer — and it came from the last place anyone expected. U.S. District Judge Loretta Biggs, an Obama appointee, upheld North Carolina's photo voter ID law in a sweeping 134-page ruling. She found that liberal voting rights groups, including the state NAACP, failed to prove the 2018 law violated the 14th Amendment, the 15th Amendment, or the Voting Rights Act. The ruling keeps the law firmly in place heading into the 2026 midterms — and...

Even while faced with a Russian invasion of their nation, some elements in the Ukrainian government were plotting to help the Biden re-election campaign — with U.S. taxpayer money. That was the gist of an explosive article Thursday from the Washington-based website Just the News, citing a declassified intelligence report. And Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is reportedly on the case. The Just the News report was authored by website founder John Solomon, a veteran, highly respected D.C. journalist, and Just the News chief investigative correspondent Jeff Dunleavy. It claimed that U.S. intelligence intercepts had revealed that personnel in...

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (CN) — A federal judge shot down a seven-year case Thursday that claimed that North Carolina’s voter ID requirements target Black and Hispanic voters and are burdensome. The North Carolina State Conference of the NAACP and several of its chapters first claimed in 2018 that a law requiring photo ID to vote disproportionately impacts minority voters, arguing it violates section two of the Voting Rights Act and the 14th and 15th Amendments, imposing burdens on the right to vote that the state can’t justify. The defendants, including Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger and former state Speaker of...
