Of the 306 people identified, just two have cast ballots in an election since 2021.Oregon Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade says the 306 people "will be notified by mail that they...

    How are elections stolen? How are democracies threatened? Retired senior CIA official Gary Berntsen reveals the incredible story of how the Venezuelans hacked America’s elections. And the United States did nothing to stop it. “I'd like to just jump in and say that I'm a retired CIA officer. I'm the guy that did the entry into Afghanistan 20 years ago, put Karzai in power, speak Persian. I was the chief of Hezbollah operations globally, chief of station in the Middle East, and chief of station a couple of times in Latin America. I've basically been in an ops environment for...

  • Trump’s Genius Strategy To Secure Midterm Elections Without SAVE Act Is Revealed: ‘A Thousand Cuts’

    President Donald Trump is pressing ahead with a sweeping effort to reshape the nation’s election system, relying on executive actions, agency shakeups and pressure on Congress after courts blocked some of his earlier initiatives. Critics, particularly Democrats, have described the strategy as “death by a thousand cuts,” arguing that the administration is gradually reshaping election policy hrough multiple fronts instead of one sweeping overhaul. Last week, Trump gutted the little-known Election Assistance Commission, a move that drew concern from election officials who warned it could weaken cybersecurity support for state and local election offices. The commission overhaul is only one...

    For years Americans were blatantly lied to about the security of our election infrastructure, including electronic voting machines and ballot-counting systems. We are releasing a series of previously-classified U.S. Intelligence Community Assessments and other reports proving that our government has long known these machines are extremely exposed to attack. As one assessment states: “We judge that U.S. adversaries, including at a minimum Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, as well as non-state groups, have the capability to compromise U.S. election infrastructure.” The documents also state: “We assess that centralized election-related data repositories, such as voter registration databases, pollbooks, and official...

    Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) said Thursday that he will not support Todd Blanche for attorney general unless President Donald Trump’s nominee first meets with women who say the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein abused them as minors. Tillis announced his position during the second day of the acting attorney general's confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, saying the meeting must occur before he is prepared to advance the nomination. “I have not made a final decision,” Tillis said of whether he will vote to advance Blanche to lead the Justice Department. “Todd Blanche said he’d meet with the...

    Sen. Thom Tillis (N.C.), a retiring Republican who has become one of the most vocal critics of the Trump administration in his party, delivered harsh words for President Trump’s top-priority voter ID legislation on the Senate floor Thursday morning, saying he would stall it if the legislation came again to the Senate. “If I see a reconciliation bill come from the House with another failed attempt to confuse this election, I will use every device I have available to slow down the wheels of government until people cop a clue and do the math,” Tillis said, nearly shouting, on the...

    Calls the health secretary's maneuvering to avoid congressional scrutiny "despotic"Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) filed a Hatch Act complaint, accusing Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of potential election interference. In a letter to the Office of Special Counsel calling for an investigation, the Senate Finance Committee's ranking member said Kennedy interfered in at least two congressional races in Iowa, "baiting and bullying third-party candidates to drop out of their respective races," with the goal of maintaining a Republican majority in Congress. "Kennedy has spent 16 months using his official position to undermine the health and well-being of his fellow Americans,...

    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) argued Tuesday that television networks have an “ethical obligation” not to air President Trump’s upcoming address to the nation if it’s not “rooted in evidence and fact.” “I don’t think we should be contributing to any platforming of lies about our election,” the lefty “Squad” lawmaker told a reporter on Capitol Hill. Ocasio-Cortez suggested media outlets should review Trump’s remarks before deciding whether to put the speech on the air. “Many news outlets, oftentimes, may receive transcripts, and I think we have an ethical obligation to not air things that undermine our election that are not...

  • Senate Judiciary Committee Completely Changed; Chairman Grassley is 92, Mike Lee Next in Seniority

    07/12/2026 3:10:32 AM PDT · by cotton1706 · 32 replies
    With Lindsey Graham's death, and John Cornyn's defeat, Mike Lee is second in seniority, next to 92 year old Chuck Grassley (elected in 1980). Grassley has been maintaining the old blue slip tradition, preventing the confirmation of US Attorneys that Democrats don't like. If Grassley dies, or chooses to be chair of another committee come January, Mike Lee will be chair (assuming the Republicans hold the Senate). Thom Tillis (who also blocked nominees) will also be gone, and Ken Paxton will likely be added. On the Democrat side, Dick Durbin is retiring (moving Whitehouse to ranking member) and Amy Klobuchar...

    The Arizona Supreme Court has weighed in on the conflict between the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors and County Recorder Justin Heap. The Supreme Court ended the stay previously put in place by the Arizona Court of Appeals. Heap’s election plan can now be put back into place, the high court ruled. The lower court previously ruled that it was too close to an election to make changes. The board of supervisors said it was disappointed in the ruling. “The Board is disappointed with today’s decision by the Arizona Supreme Court because it reverses the stay order in Heap v....

    In another ruling, US Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, writing for a 5-4 majority, declared that "the writers of the Constitution purposely left the election rules flexible, knowing that there might be future instances in which additional votes would need to be found and counted to reverse an undesired outcome from the election day counts. Therefore there is no specified legal time limit on counting the ballots. Caches of ballots that were somehow overlooked within the five business day limit the Court has created, but subsequently found years later can still be counted. As a hypothetical, say a sufficient...

New Fox News polling suggests a different dynamic this time, as Ossoff holds a double-digit lead over GOP challenger Mike Collins in the 2026 Georgia Senate race.
