The US Department of Justice (DOJ) efforts to audit the recent balloting in Los Angeles and California prompted Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) to warn "all of the actions employed in counting the ballots of the recent elections for Mayor of Los Angeles and Governor of California are authorized by law. Things that the DOJ regards as 'suspicious' like the extraordinary differences between the ratios of ballots for various candidates counted early versus those counted later is perfectly normal for California." "Further, I just signed a law--Senate Bill 73--that makes questioning the declared outcome of an election a crime punishable by...

James Talarico: There's been a lot of talk in this race about what it means to be a real man. Recently on the campaign trail I told the story of my adoptive dad, Mark Talarico. Every Saturday morning, he would mow our lawn, and then without anyone asking him to, he would go next door and mow our neighbor's lawn because she was a widow. My dad never talked about it — he just did it, because that's what a man does.

HEADLINES: CA election fraud investigations are under way; Postal service rules for mail-in ballots go into effect; US government funded 120 biolabs in Ukraine IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) The vise is closing on Kollyfornia, but also on all fraudulent, cheating nationwide, in all clot-infested DemoKKKrat districts across America. This is much more important than the SAVE act---which I support wholeheartedly---but which only affects election day voting. This move dramatically changes mail in voting by requiring a federal bar-code on every envelope. If multiple ballots come in from the same, say, homeless shelter, that can be easily checked and those ballots...

The Justice Department is escalating its clash with California over voter-roll access, accusing state officials of blocking a federal audit — though Golden State officials warn the demand threatens voter privacy and oversteps federal authority.The dispute centers on voter roll maintenance and access to registration records, not any publicly identified allegation of impropriety in a specific California race. "If California genuinely wants voters to trust its elections, it should open its records, not fight to keep them closed," Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli said in a lengthy post on X that included a copy...

The Alaska Division of Elections has preliminarily determined that Dan J. Sullivan from Petersburg is not eligible to run for office, following a probe into allegations from Republicans that he is attempting to rig the election to draw votes from the U.S. senator of the same name. “Based on a review of the evidence presented and in the Division’s possession, the Division has determined that the preponderance of evidence does not support your eligibility for the office of United States Senator,” Carol Beecher, director of the Division of Elections, said in a letter to Dan J. Sullivan on Wednesday.

The Florida Supreme Court has allowed new U.S. House districts drawn by Republicans to be used in the midterm elections, marking another victory for the GOP in a nationwide redistricting effort aimed at helping the party retain its slim House majority. The court on Wednesday refused a request to issue a temporary injunction against the new districts. Attorneys for voters who sued argued that the new House districts violate a state constitutional provision prohibiting partisan gerrymandering, and that the court should order the state to continue using the same districts as in the previous election. Republicans already hold 20 of...

Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California on Tuesday raised the stakes of the midterm elections and the landscape for 2028 by issuing an implied threat of incarceration to President Donald Trump. “Trump says voter fraud should land people in prison,” Newsom wrote on the social media platform X. “Agreed,” the governor added. “And let’s start with the politicians spreading election lies with the goal of illegally interfering with counting ballots.”

State election officials could soon face a stark choice: Hand over voter lists to the Trump administration or risk losing Postal Service delivery for mail-in ballots. That dilemma stems from newly proposed USPS rules that seek to comply with an executive order President Donald Trump signed this spring to crack down on mail-in voting. If courts let the order stand, it would give the federal government an unprecedented role in elections — and could put even more voter data in the hands of Trump officials searching for supposed election fraud. The proposed rules lay out new conditions that states would...

"I’m the look-around candidate. All you have to do to understand why I’m surging in the polls is just look around. . . ." — Spencer Pratt. Just watch in wonder and nausea as California’s mail-in ballots dribble in, providing a real-time demonstration of the “Our Democracy” party spitting in the country’s face again, since everybody knows exactly what’s going on. Meanwhile, the Senate voted down the SAVE Act again this week by 52 to 48 for. . . reasons. But, hey, cheer up, it’s Pride Month. At the same time that California was queering its own “jungle primary,” a...

Its critics had thought it dead, but suddenly there was revived support for the SAVE America Act in the U.S. Senate and the idea of securing America’s elections appears to be back. The plan, sought by a majority of Americans and President Donald Trump, would require identification and verification in order for people to vote in American elections, an idea that seems reasonable. However, critics have claimed it would prevent married women and others from voting. Now it has happened during a Senate “vote-a-rama” to advance the GOP’s $70 billion immigration enforcement package. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, had an amendment...

The Republican National Committee and the New Jersey GOP went looking through voter-roll records in one of America’s bluest states. What surfaced should make every legal voter pay attention. Fox News reported Monday that documents obtained through public-records requests showed noncitizens on New Jersey voter rolls for years, including some cases where voting histories also appeared. The NJGOP and RNC requested voter rolls from all 21 New Jersey counties, according to the report. The records reportedly showed multiple noncitizens seeking naturalization asking to be removed from the rolls, saying they had been unknowingly registered to vote. Most of those noncitizens...

This is the Democrat Party’s idea of “secure” elections in their one-party utopia. Investigative reporter Nick Shirley — the same journalist whose explosive February 2026 video we reported on here at The Gateway Pundit — knocking on doors and exposing the rotting corpse of the state’s Democrat-controlled election system, and the latest clip is pure fire. Meet Doris. She lives in California. According to the California Secretary of State’s own voter rolls, she is 126 years old and has cast ballots in 51 elections. There’s just one small problem. Doris is not 126 years old. She was born in 1940....

Now that the race for U.S. Senate in Texas is solidified between Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico, there are photos emerging of Talarico, who had famously declared his campaign to be "non-meat," now packing all kinds of meat into his mouth. End Wokeness is highlighting some of the images on X, stating: "James Talarico's team is now forcing him to eat meat in front of reporters "proving he's Texas tough." "He looks like he wants to puke."

Another damning ballot dump in the rigged Los Angeles mayor race put Democratic City Councilwoman within striking distance of Spencer Pratt, now trailing by just 1% with nearly 200,000 ballots remaining to be counted. They’re counting ballots that came in after election day! Who could trust these results? Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has already been projected to advance to the November runoff. The top two candidates will advance if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote. After the Saturday results came in, Pratt now leads by just 7,494 votes, roughly 1.1% of the total ballots counted. The...
