Colorado's Dem Governor Polis commutes ex-election clerk Tina Peters' sentence after Trump pressure Peters issued a statement through her attorney thanking Polis and apologizing. “Five years ago I misled the Secretary of State when allowing a person to gain access to county voting equipment. That was wrong,” Peters said. “I have learned and grown during my time in prison and going forward I will make sure that my actions always follow the law, and I will avoid the mistakes of the past.”

After Mike Lee defeated Bob Bennett in Utah in 2010 and then Richard Lugar was defeated in 2012, Mitch McConnell was pissed. He thereafter ensured that EVERY Republican incumbent, no matter how awful, was to be protected from removal by fellow Republican. McConnell and the NRSC would choose which Republicans sat in the Senate, not the infernal people. Republican senators could either leave the Senate on their own, or be defeated by a Democrat. Those were the ONLY two options. For fourteen years, in cycle after cycle, not a single Republican incumbent has been defeated in a primary. This month...

Jared Polls, the Democrat governor of Colorado, reduces the sentence of election denier Tina Peters. She will be released the 1 June, says the Governor.

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis on Friday cut former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters’ nine-year prison sentence in half, and ordered the 70-year-old, who has become a national martyr for election conspiracy theorists, to be released on parole June 1. Peters’ sentence for orchestrating a security breach of her county’s election system in 2021 in a failed attempt to uncover voter fraud is now four years and four and a half months under a clemency order issued by the governor. “She, because of her incorrect and unpopular speech, got an unduly harsh sentence,” Polis said Friday in an interview with The...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman Steve Cohen, who has represented Tennessee’s 9th Congressional District for more than 19 years, announced he is withdrawing from the race Friday morning. Cohen says his majority-Black district was gerrymandered into three Republican-leaning districts by the state General Assembly last week. The deadline to file to run in the redrawn District 9, as well as Districts 5 and 8 in the Memphis area, is noon Friday.

Does Spencer Pratt, the conservative Los Angeles mayoral candidate whose home burned up in the Palisades fire, ever get a break over his housing arrangements? They're still picking on him over his desperate post-fire living arrangements, this time with TMZ attacking Pratt's decision to put his family in a nice hotel for a few days. Hypocrite, you see, he's supposed to be living in a silverstream trailer on the rubble of his burned home as if an arrangement like that would even be safe for a family with two small children. First, the Los Angeles Times went after him for...

Prepare to vote! If Bill Cassidy comes in third, he's REMOVED from office in January!

New poll indicates around half of right-wing voters see losing elections as 'upsetting but manageable,' while only negligible percentage of left-wing voters will respect results not in their favor. Ahead of the expected elections in about six months, data from the "Israeli Society Index" for May 2026 reveals deep ideological gaps regarding the rules of the democratic game. The index examined how Israelis would respond if the political side they support loses the elections, and the results point to a severe crisis of trust, especially on the left side of the political map. The data shows that as voters move...

Naftali Bennett, a former Netanyahu aide who is seeking to replace him as prime minister for a second time, is offering voters a straightforward promise: a “rebuild.” Israel’s main anti-Netanyahu alliance, led by Bennett and Yair Lapid…offered a conservative, hawkish vision that carries echoes of Netanyahu — but none of his baggage. Their pitch will be tested in a momentous election this year that will reveal whether voters want younger faces to lead Israel through a period of growing domestic division and international isolation… Lapid’s centrist supporters say they do not agree on all issues with Bennett…But he is someone...

If you live in Louisiana, don't forget to VOTE on Saturday! Oust Senator Cassidy! If he comes in third, he's gone!

He's quite the jerk when he thinks he's off camera. When's a reporter not a reporter, just a public relations adjunct of an incompetent, scandal-ridden, Democrat? When Xavier Becerra, Democrat frontrunner in the California gubernatorial race by default after Eric Swalwell's embarrassing exit, is around. Get a load of this disgusting exchange, attempting to intimidate a KTLA reporter into producing a puff piece about him: [X video at article link] He's trying to come off as a mafia boss, which isn't inconsistent with what insiders have said about him, yet he's also quite the smug, self-satisfied, twerpy little jerk, trying...

LINCOLN, Neb. (Nebraska Examiner) - Late last month at the Lancaster County Election Commission, Nebraska Secretary of State Bob Evnen observed logic and accuracy testing for ballot-counting machines as part of his “transparency tour” across multiple counties in the state. Evnen, standing behind half-height voting booths, said every single ballot tabulator in the state is tested three times a month before every election — and that the state will conduct a typical hand-counted audit after the primary election, selecting random precincts to spot check. He called Nebraska elections the “gold standard,” pointing to a new state law that allows political...

Nebraska Secretary of State Bob Evnen (R) is projected to lose his slot as the state’s top elections official to a primary challenger, according to Decision Desk HQ. Omaha businessman Scott Petersen won Tuesday’s Republican primary in the Cornhusker State, leading the incumbent by roughly 6 percentage points with a little over half of votes in as of 11 p.m. EDT. Evnen had notched endorsements from major names in Nebraska GOP politics, including Gov. Jim Pillen, Sens. Deb Fischer and Pete Ricketts, and all three of the state’s House lawmakers. Now in his second term, Evnen led the state as...

Assistant Majority Whip Scot Heckert defeated in landslide

The critical 2026 Nebraska Senate race, which could help tip the balance of power in Washington, has become consumed by accusations that candidates are misrepresenting their party affiliations to rig the odds in their favor. In November, Sen. Pete Ricketts, R-Neb., who is finishing the term of retired Republican Sen. Ben Sasse, will seek a six-year term in the Senate. The race’s outcome is rated “likely Republican” by Cook Political Report. But Ricketts’ most serious competition likely will not be from the Democratic Party. Instead, prominent Nebraska Democrats are backing independent candidate Dan Osborn, a former union leader, for the...

If you live in these states, GO VOTE!

Senator Bill Cassidy is trailing in polls and prediction odds in the Louisiana Republican Senate primary against his Trump-backed challenger Representative Julia Letlow and state Treasurer John Fleming. Cassidy, one of the seven Republican senators who voted to impeach Trump following the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot, is facing two conservative rivals in the May 16 primary. The primary tests whether Trump’s once iron grip on GOP primary voters has softened amid his waning nationwide approval rating and if Republicans are willing to support a Trump critic in a solidly conservative state. Trump backed Letlow, who represents the state’s...

CNN’s data guru Harry Enten is warning of a potential gerrymandering “nightmare” for Democrats at November’s midterm elections. Enten appeared on CNN on Sunday to discuss the impact a redistricting battle playing out across the country could have on national election results. Last week, the Virginia Supreme Court struck down a voter-approved Democratic congressional redistricting plan. The court ruled 4-3 that the state’s Democratic-led legislature violated procedural requirements by placing the amendment on the ballot to authorize mid-decade redistricting.
