Austin — There have been recent and inaccurate reports about the voter registration process and ID requirements in Texas. Please see the statement from Secretary of State Jane Nelson below. "It is totally inaccurate that 1.2 million voters have registered to vote in Texas without a photo ID this year. The truth is our voter rolls have increased by 57,711 voters since the beginning of 2024. This is less than the number of people registered in the same timeframe in 2022 (about 65,000) and in 2020 (about 104,000). When Texans register to vote, they must provide a driver license number...

. . . some states have so many registration requests from “non-drivers” (no valid ID) that it is hard to imagine an even larger number of requests from legitimate drivers. An oddity of the list is that the majority of the most suspicious states (UT, WY, MS, ND, TX, AZ, AK, GA, MT) are red states, and the least suspicious (DL, SC, ME, NM, MI, WI, CT) are blue. Almost as if someone is trying to pad the rolls in red states as the first stage of an attempted takeover by infusion of fake ballots. . . .

A shocking revelation shakes the foundation of democracy as 386,422 new voters flood the registration rolls without a photo ID in a single week, with a staggering 277,077 of them in Texas alone. The innocence of this surge in registrations is dubious at best, especially considering the alarming trend unfolding in key swing states. Data from the government’s own records paints a damning picture: illegals, unable to obtain licenses but furnished with Social Security Numbers for work permits, are exploiting the system to tilt the electoral playing field in favor of the Democrats. This isn’t an isolated incident—it’s a calculated...

The number of voters registering without a photo ID is SKYROCKETING in 3 key swing states: Arizona, Texas, and Pennsylvania. Since the start of 2024: TX: 1,250,710 PA: 580,513 AZ: 220,731 HAVV allows voters to register with a Social Security Number (4 digits). Illegals are not able to get licenses there. But they can get Social Security Cards (for work authorization permits). Data is publicly available:

Feathers are flying as new regulations swoop in to tighten the reins on bird owners across Great Britain. From backyard chicken coops to parrot perches, the government is spreading its wings to crack down on bird flu. But is this move all it’s chirped up to be? In a bid to curb the spread of avian influenza, proposed rules are set to cast a wider net, roping in bird keepers of all feather sizes. Whether you’re raising a brood of chickens or sharing your home with a chatty parrot, the government wants to know. But the question remains: are these...

Calvin Coolidge, long before he was president, told his state senator father, “It is much more important to kill bad bills than to pass good ones.” Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin must have been channelling old Silent Cal earlier this month when he vetoed Democrat-led bills that would have required the commonwealth to rejoin the leftist-linked Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC). A report from the Public Interest Legal Foundation on ERIC’s zeal to target for voter registration tens of thousands of ineligible individuals — including the deceased — as “Eligible but Unregistered” shows Youngkin’s instincts were correct. “I have been explicitly...

The Republican National Committee (RNC) filed a lawsuit Wednesday against Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, alleging the state’s voter rolls are inflated with ineligible voters. The suit claims that 53 of the state’s 83 counties have more registered voters than they do residents who are eligible to vote. Twenty-three other counties also allegedly have “suspiciously high” voter registration rates of 90 percent or more, which does not comport with the nationwide voter registration rate, according to the suit. The RNC sent a letter to Benson in December notifying the state of “78 Michigan counties that are in violation of...

Here's a story that shows a political prank can turn into a good case for the need for voter identification when registering to vote. It involves five recording artists and a house in Katy, Texas. Katy is a city west of Houston, in the Houston metro area. Katy's population at the time of the 2020 census was 21,894. The point is that it is a small city, most often thought of as a suburb of Houston. There is a story out today that recording artists Drake, 50 Cent, Chris Brown, Trey Songz, and The Game are all registered to vote...

A group of 24 Republican legislators in Pennsylvania have filed a federal complaint against President Joe Biden, Gov. Josh Shapiro, and representatives of the Pennsylvania Department of State, saying they have usurped the authority of the legislature by changing voter registration and election rules. The legislators say the Elections Clause and the Electors Clause of the U.S. Constitution give state legislators the sole constitutional right to determine the manner of elections, and there is no role for the president, governor, or other executive officials, such as the secretary of state, to create, rewrite, or disregard the laws established by the...

We’ve achieved another significant victory in our fight to clean up the nation’s voter rolls – this time in our nation’s capital. We sent notice letters to election officials in the District of Columbia, California, and Illinois, notifying them of evident violations of the National Voter Registration Act(NVRA) of 1993, based on their failure to remove inactive voters from their registration rolls. The letters point out that these jurisdictions publicly reported removing few or no ineligible voter registrations under a key provision of the NVRA. The letters threaten federal lawsuits unless the violations are corrected in a timely fashion. In...

Allen said the system is already producing names of voters who should no longer be on the rolls. “Utilizing data provided by ALEA, our IT department has identified 8,041 voters as of today, who have received driver’s licenses from other states, while remaining listed as active voters on Alabama’s voter registration list,” he said. That’s the first component of AVID. Allen said the second involves the U.S. Postal Service change of address file. “We have identified more than 30,000 active registered voters who have notified the United States Postal Service that they have relocated to an address outside of the...

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel on Thursday CONFIRMED that 8,000 to 10,000 suspected fraudulent registrations were delivered to Muskegon City Clerk prior to the 2020 election. The far-left Detroit News reported on this latest development on Thursday after reporting by The Gateway Pundit earlier this week.A redacted police report describes how Muskegon City Clerk Meisch encountered a woman dropping off 8,000 – 10,000 completed voter registration applications. The Gateway Pundit reported that the “registrations included the same handwriting, non-existent addresses, and incorrect phone numbers.” The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that during the investigation, the police found guns, burner phones, pre-paid...

A Florida man was arrested on fraud charges in July after allegedly registering a 1977 Porsche 911 Turbo that was stolen from the Sarasota Classic Car Museum. The man allegedly used the VIN number from another vintage 911 out of a California salvage yard to register the car, police records show. Police responded to the Sarasota Classic Car Museum after the burglary alarm was tripped during the early morning of June 14, according to police records. The officers were unable to make contact with a museum employee at that time and initially determined that the building was secure. It surely...

On January 13, 2023, LD 168 was introduced into the Maine Legislature by Speaker Talbot Ross of Portland, cosponsored by Representative Salisbury of Westbrook. LD 168 was designed to eliminate most private sales of modern firearms by requiring the sale to be conducted through a federally licensed dealer and recorded in the dealer’s records. The bill specifically targeted gun shows, online distributors, or printed publications advertising firearms for sale. Law enforcement was exempted. The fine for the first offense was set at $1000. From LD 168:2. Requirement. If neither the seller nor buyer of a firearm is a federally licensed...

When Barack Obama won Florida just over a decade ago, Democratic registrants outnumbered Republicans in the Sunshine State by around 800,000. Republicans remained competitive because of strong turnout and support from independents, but they grappled with this structural disadvantage. During the DeSantis governorship, the red and blue lines crossed, with GOP registrations edging into the lead. By early 2022, Florida Republicans' registration advantage pushed into six figures. By last fall's Election Day, it had swelled even further, setting the table for an epic, dominant GOP sweep.While the national red wave was a dud of historic proportions, with a handful of...

An error by a printing company has made every registered voter in Nassau County, New York, a Democrat, based on the voter ID cards received this week in the Republican-leaning county. A spokesperson for the printing company, Phoenix Graphics, said that it was human error and is being fixed, according to NBC New York. About half a million of those who got their cards this week saw that they were registered as Democrats, when they were actually registered Republicans, independents or members of a different political party. "We’re already starting to get phone calls from people, saying 'I’m a registered...

Now as [Trump and Biden] are squaring up for a possible rematch, we set out to learn whether any documented irregularities emerged after the dust settled in 2020. Our Full Measure investigation found dozens of instances where there were election problems or errors that typically favored Biden. Today, we highlight a few notable cases and dissect how voter fraud can happen. - - - In Wisconsin, absentee ballot drop boxes used in 2020 were illegally approved by the elections commission, according to the state supreme court. Had that ruling come before the election, it could have had a big impact:...

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today it settled its federal election integrity lawsuit against Pennsylvania and five of its counties. Pennsylvania admitted in court filings that it removed 178,258 ineligible registrations in response to communications from Judicial Watch. The settlement commits Pennsylvania and five of its counties to extensive public reporting of statistics regarding their ongoing voter roll clean-up efforts for the next five years, along with a payment to Judicial Watch of $15,000 for legal costs and fees. In November 2021, Judicial Watch filed an amended complaint in an ongoing National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) lawsuit. The amended...

It’s Time To Set the Record Straight on ERIC’s LiesAP If the Left ignores you, keep digging. When the Left tries to gag you, you’re onto something. Nothing better illustrates that fact than the recent battle over the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), which goes to the very heart of our election system. ERIC was supposedly designed to help states cull their lists of voters who’ve died, moved, or otherwise become ineligible. That’s a noble cause – yet data from the U.S. Election Assistance Commission shows that non-ERIC states do a better job of removing ineligible voters from their rolls...
