    Former President Trump is on the road back to the White House as all polls point to his 2024 victory. According to a CNN electoral map, Trump can win the 2024 presidential election without securing enough votes for Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Arizona. Candidates need 270 electoral votes to win the presidential election. The map indicated that Trump would secure 272 votes, while President Joe Biden only secure 225. Despite CNN, a far-Left news outlet, undermining Trump’s ability to win the election, the outlet cannot deny that Biden is nowhere near having enough support to serve another four years in the...

    It's a sham.' Supervisor Tim Garman discusses controversial elections commission ....SHASTA COUNTY, Calif. — Questions continue to surround Shasta County’s Election Commission. On Tuesday evening, commissioner Dawn Duckett shared on Facebook that she was resigning from her position, calling it, "not a valuable use of my time," and, "counterproductive to the needs of the community." Earlier that same day, during a Shasta County supervisor meeting, District 2 Supervisor Tim Garman—who appointed Duckett to the commission—made a motion to disband the commission entirely. The motion was voted down by the board's majority, 3-2.. ... ....Following this discussion and Monday’s eventful election...

  • McCarthy's successor pick will face Republican foe (special election Tuesday)

    Next week’s special election to replace former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has another layer of intrigue, after The Associated Press projected that the November general election will feature McCarthy’s chosen successor running against another Republican. Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux secured the second general election spot on Wednesday, eclipsing Democrat Marisa Wood and setting a November matchup with state Assembly member Vince Fong, a former McCarthy aide. The results set the stage for the March 19 special election to fill out McCarthy’s unexpired term. Whoever emerges from that race — whether next week or in a potential May 21 runoff...

    SHASTA COUNTY, Calif. — Although it has no power to make decisions, Shasta County's Elections Commission brought out plenty of opinions this afternoon during the board of supervisors meeting including calls for it to be disbanded. There was a red color scheme in part of the board chambers this morning. The people wearing red were there in support of supervisor Mary Rickert who was asked to explain her license plate number of "666", a number considered satanic by some Christians, at the last board meeting by district two candidate Laura Hobbs. Rickert told the Northstate’s News Mike Mangas she appreciated...

    SHASTA COUNTY, CALIF. — After the chaos that erupted at the Shasta County Election Advisory Commission's Monday meeting, the Northstate's News wanted to take a closer look at what exactly the commission has been doing. At the most recent meeting, on Monday, a large portion of meeting time was taken up by either members of the public offering praise or condemnation of the group. “Bev I don’t think you did anything illegal," said one woman. “A mandated hand count in the State of California? That’s illegal," said another local. However, as the commission moved into discussing the controversial ad Commissioner...
  • Moderate vs. conservative: Kane County's GOP faces a defining county board primary (Illinois next Tuesday)

    Daily Herald ^ | 3/12/24 | James Fuller
    Half of the Kane County Board is up for election this cycle. With the reshuffling of county board districts after the 2020 Census, a return to the days of majority Republican rule is unlikely. But the March primary will serve as a crucible for the local GOP. Several self-described moderate incumbent Republicans face opposition from peers who have aligned themselves with the arguably more conservative political positions of former President Donald Trump. Since Trump’s loss in 2020, a faction of local Republicans has commandeered public comment periods at most county board meetings. They’ve unleashed a torrent of concerns ranging from...

    In a week, Ohio voters will cast their ballots in the state’s presidential primary. Outside a catastrophic event, though, there’s no doubt which candidates will represent their parties come November. Democrat Joe Biden doesn’t face a credible challenger and Republican Donald Trump will likely sew up the nomination this week. For races down the ticket that could be a troubling prospect or a golden opportunity. State of the race The presidential contest drives turnout, and particularly for candidates aligned with Trump, drafting in the former president’s wake could help them secure victory. But if Trump has already won, will his...

    Sarah Longwell, founder of Republican Voters Against Trump, believes anti-Donald Trump Republicans helped to swing the 2020 election—and can help keep him out of the White House in this year's vote. On Tuesday, the group launched a $50 million ad campaign featuring testimonials from former Trump supporters, the Hill reports. The testimonials, which can be seen on the group's website, will air on multiple platforms in battleground states including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

    House Democrats' discharge petition on legislation providing aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan opened for lawmakers' signatures on Tuesday morning.

    EVANS, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - Before voting was even finished in a legislative runoff election, Columbia County officials called for a hand count of the ballots. The request came because of an early morning error in uploading the ballot for the Georgia House of Representatives District 125 primary runoff on Tuesday. The runoff coincided with the Georgia presidential primary. Officials requested that the Columbia County Board of Elections conduct a 100% hand count of the ballots before certifying the election results, regardless of the outcome. Election officials said the issue happened at 7:50 a.m. [snip] The Republican runoff is between Gary...

    MADISON, Wis. — Backers of an effort to oust Wisconsin Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos from office over his opposition to former President Donald Trump announced Sunday that they’ve collected enough signatures to force a recall vote. Supporters of the recall campaign plan to present signatures Monday to the Wisconsin Elections Commission, saying they have more than the required 6,850 signatures from voters in Vos’ southeast Wisconsin district. “With more than 10,000 signatures on our recall petition, they’ve said it loud and clear: they’re tired of the status quo and demand new representation,” Matt Snorek, who started the campaign in...
