    (The Center Square) — A federal judge has overturned a New Hampshire law that required unregistered voters to provide proof of citizenship to cast ballots in state elections. The ruling late Thursday by U.S. District Court judge Samantha Elliott sided with the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups who sued to block the law, saying the requirement for new voters to provide a birth certificate or valid U.S. passport to cast a ballot on election day was unconstitutional. “New Hampshire’s interest in election integrity cannot justify the burden on New Hampshire voters based on the evidence in this case,"...

  • Judge Declines to Block Trump’s Order on Mail-In Voting

    The Liberty Daily ^ | May 28, 2026 | Zachary Stieber, The Epoch Times
    (The Epoch Times)—A federal judge on May 28 allowed President Donald Trump’s administration to implement an executive order imposing restrictions on mail-in voting. U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, based in Washington, rejected a request from Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), for an injunction against the order. Absent an injunction, the federal government would compile lists of U.S. citizens and would coerce states into only allowing people on the lists to register to vote and vote in elections, even though the sources for the list are known to be deficient, plaintiffs argued in court filings. Nichols disagreed, writing...

    A federal judge on Thursday cleared the way for President Donald Trump to implement his executive order tightening mail-in voting, slapping down Democrats’ arguments for now that federal efforts to police voter rolls with citizenship checks was illegal.U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointed jurist, ruled that Democrats failed to show they have standing at present to challenge the order or have suffered any harm that would warrant a preliminary injunction."Given that the Executive Order does not command Plaintiffs to do anything, and that no agency has yet acted pursuant to the Order in a way that could harm...

Callais to hammer California’s racially gerrymandered congressional map, telling Governor Gavin Newsom and his allies that race-based district-drawing is unconstitutional—full stop.

    The Republican National Committee celebrated a recent court ruling Wednesday that determined the North Carolina state board of elections violated the state constitution by allowing non-residents to vote in federal elections. The Wake County Superior Court sided with the RNC in the ruling Tuesday after the North Carolina Supreme Court ruled last year that people who have never lived in the state cannot vote in state elections. The state stopped nonresidents from voting in state elections in the wake of the state Supreme Court ruling, but did not change its policies when it came to federal elections. “This is a...

    Early voting begins Tuesday in South Carolina, but some voters may be required to cast a second ballot if state lawmakers approve new congressional district maps currently under debate. The South Carolina Senate fast-tracked the redistricting plan over the weekend and is expected to hold a final vote on Tuesday. Senators convened Saturday for a five-hour debate — their first weekend session in 40 years. The proposed maps, which the House passed Thursday, would redraw all seven U.S. congressional districts in the state in response to a call from President Donald Trump to create Republican-leaning districts. Currently, only one district...
  • Today the PEOPLE of Texas can REMOVE John Cornyn's Legislative Power

    John Cornyn is 74 years old running for another six year term. That means he'll be 80 years old at the end of his next term. 80! Has been in the US Senate for 24 years and wants 30. It also means it will likely be his LAST term. And once free of the people's comeuppance, he'll just do what he wants and be a Democrat handmaiden (which he is already). Cornyn will also vote for John Thune again for Leader. Most importantly, if he's defeated today, Cornyn will be gone from the Senate Judiciary committee (along with Thom Tillis)....

As I speak, we have thousands of people in the field registering as many new voters as we can. People like 64-year-old Californian Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong who has been registering homeless skid row folks for the last 20 years. She lets them use her home address so the mail-in ballots the state sends to every registered...

    It’s pretty clear to see why they’re so upset: They’re not doing well. Run, little donkeys, run. The congressional redistricting of the South and Midwest, arising from the GOP’s crushing Supreme Court victory in Louisiana v. Callais, has started. The herd of elephants is charging. And they’re trampling every rural Democrat in their path, from North Carolina to Texas and Missouri. The donkeys are forced to cower in their anthill-like cities. The elephants won’t take the biggest ones, or the states that are so Blue, they’re ultraviolet. But they’re taking the rest of the country. According to my scorekeeping, this...

    The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is advancing quickly among Democrats, but the Constitution itself has the tools for defeating it. Advancing the latest “progressive” scheme to upend our Constitution and make the people serve the government, Governor Abigail Spanberger has signed a bill forcing Virginia to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC). This ruse to overturn the Electoral College, a critical safeguard that ensures equal presidential representation for all Americans, is now just 48 votes away from national implementation. The coalition seeks to force the presidential selection to be decided by popular vote alone. This would favor...

    COLUMBIA, S.C. (WRDW/WAGT) - South Carolina senators passed a redrawn congressional map on second reading, fast-tracking the redistricting process and setting up a final vote for Tuesday. The bill also delays U.S. House primaries to August 18. The South Carolina Election Commission says the delay would cost roughly $5 million to carry out. The debate was expected to stretch well into the night or even Sunday morning. But senators fast-tracked a second reading vote late in the afternoon, setting up a final showdown for Tuesday.

    (The Center Square) - The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a resolution outlining the locations of drop boxes for the upcoming early voting period without consulting Recorder Justin Heap. The board approved the resolution while it continues to deal with an ongoing lawsuit with Heap about who runs specific election functions. In April, a judge ruled in favor of Heap, saying the board members need to hand over control of specific election functions to his office. The board sought a stay of the motion, but the Arizona Superior Court denied it. The board announced it will appeal the...
