A court-appointed special master report revealed on Tuesday that roughly 99 percent of challenged signatures collected for a pro-ranked-choice voting Arizona ballot measure are duplicates. In his report, court-ordered Special Master and retired Arizona Superior Court Judge Christopher Skelly disclosed that 37,657 pairs of signatures gathered in support of Proposition 140 are, in fact, duplicates. As argued by the Arizona Free Enterprise Club (AZFEC), this discovery “now place[s] Proposition 140 thousands of signatures under the constitutionally required signature threshold to qualify for the [November] ballot.” Proposition 140 would amend the Arizona Constitution by instituting an open primary system in which...

The battleground state’s 2023 policy resurfaced right before the end of the election year because people were concerned that it could be used to interfere in the upcoming election. The Federalist reported that Gov. Josh Shapiro, D–Pa., was criticized in September 2023 when he announced that the state had implemented automatic voter registration for “eligible Commonwealth residents obtaining driver’s licenses and ID cards at Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) driver and photo license centers.”Pennsylvania now has automatic voter registration.There are about 1.6 million Pennsylvanians who are eligible to vote but aren’t registered.This is a safe, secure, and streamlined way to...

Michigan’s Democrat-controlled Senate passed a package of four DIRTY election bills yesterday, referred to as the “State Voting Rights Act.” The bills, now heading to the Democrat-controlled House, have stirred controversy among critics asserting they represent a significant state government takeover of elections and threaten election integrity on a number of fronts, not the least of which is the special treatment afforded to “protected classes” of people. In addition, Senate Bills 401 through 404 shift control of elections from the legislature to the state’s courts and executive branch, giving the secretary of state unprecedented power over local governments. For example,...

(The Center Square) – Washington GOP Chair and State Rep. Jim Walsh, R-Aberdeen, has filed a federal lawsuit alongside Franklin County Auditor Matt Beaton against a consent decree agreed to by the Secretary of State’s Office that overturned a 30-day voter residency requirement in place since the state constitution was ratified in 1889. Announcing the lawsuit filed in U.S. Federal Court of Western Washington, Walsh wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, that to he did so to “reverse a shady scheme to destroy the State Constitution's rule that a person be a WA resident for 30 days before registering...

Democrat District Court Judge Antonia Arteaga struck down a legal attempt by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to halt Bexar County’s push to mail voter registration forms to over 200,000 unregistered voters. The lawsuit, filed by Paxton on the heels of Bexar County’s September 3 decision, sought to prevent the county from working with Civic Government Solutions to distribute unsolicited voter registration forms. Paxton contended that such an action was not only illegal but a blatant effort by Democrat-led counties to sway voter turnout in their favor by bypassing standard registration processes. Despite the clear warning from Paxton’s office, Bexar...

Democrats are counting on greatly expanded, no excuse mail-in voting in swing states to win the 2024 presidential election.The most striking feature of the contentious 2020 election was the sudden explosion of mass mail-in voting in states that had little experience with it, and the unprecedented levels of election interference that occurred as left-leaning nonprofit organizations such as The Center for Tech and Civic Life (which was behind “Zuckbucks”) and Democrat “lawfare” experts tried to make the best of this chaotic, mail-in ballot free-for-all.The mail-in ballot election of 2020 created the template for the Democrats’ new “Blue Wall” election strategy,...

Did anyone else miss this important fact? I know it was stated in the body of the various postings on the whistleblower, but I think a lot of people, me included, missed it and the implications of this fact. It begs the question. If the whistleblower is not credible, and the whole premise is a lie, then how was he or she able to predict exactly what happened at the September 10, debate? His affidavit states that he sent out sealed stamped letters to himself and others on September 9, before the debate, including House Speaker Johnson. The affidavit states...

Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) suggested on Friday that a Senate Investigation into ABC News and Kamala Harris’ campaign for suspected collusion in last Tuesday’s rigged presidential debate has begun. It is suspected that Kamala knew the questions in advance due to her out-of-the-ordinary, well-prepared responses. As The Gateway Pundit reported, ABC denied that Kamala Harris was given the debate questions in advance amid calls for an internal investigation into the network for debate rigging. This denial from ABC came after Former Clinton advisor Mark Penn called for a third party to perform an internal investigation into ABC News. "I think...

One of the most fiercely contested battlegrounds in this fall’s presidential race won’t remove more than 4 million ineligible names from its voter rolls. “Wisconsin’s population is a little less than 6 million, with 3.5 million active voters,” Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., told The Daily Signal in a written statement. “So why do election officials refuse to clean up Wisconsin’s voter rolls and [instead] allow up to 4.1 million inactive voters to remain, with the potential for fraudulently using those names?” Although Johnson and some other lawmakers contend that unpruned voter rolls create election security holes, the Wisconsin Elections Commission...

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson refused to say whether dead people are on the voter rolls in a congressional hearing.In a hearing on Wednesday, Rep. Greg Murphy, R-N.C., asked Democrat Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson if there are dead people on the state’s voter rolls, and she would not answer yes or no.“Why the hell are deceased people still on your voter rolls?” Murphy asked. “Do you have deceased people on your voter rolls, yes or no?”“We do everything we can, and just like every other state, to remove — ” Benson said.“Should a deceased person be on...

Do lefties ever have the slightest amount of self-awareness? Were the stakes for the future of the country — or, as one site of the fascist far left put it, “the climate for the next million years” — their machinations over Comrade Kamala falling back to Earth would be truly entertaining. And if they knew we were keeping a close watch on them (and of course archiving their antics, as always), they might be a bit self-conscious. Because at a minimum, it’s like witnessing a train wreck in slow motion — while they’re dragging us along.Their problem is that their...

In Dallas, election workers are being directed to apply church addresses to homeless people who are registering to vote. This is certainly a questionable practice. In most states you cannot register from a mailbox, or empty lot, or grocery store, or some place where you do not live. A video from Dallas County, Texas, shows election trainers directing workers to use church addresses to register homeless individuals to vote. The video was reportedly taken on August 24 during election training in the county. The individual reportedly performing the training was from the Dallas County Elections Department. The trainer also shared...

One method Democrats used to steal the election was with overseas ballots. We saw evidence of this in several battleground states. During an Arizona Senate session in February2022, the discussion turned to the UOCAVA voters — these are voters covered under the Uniform Overseas Civilian Absentee Voting Act. These are the men and women who are serving their country in the military and send in a mail-in vote from where they are stationed outside the country. These ballots also include US citizens residing in countries outside the United States. The act officially covers: members of the United States Uniformed Services...

The Michigan Supreme Court on Monday ruled Robert F. Kennedy Jr. must stay on the state’s ballot even though he suspended his campaign. RFK Jr. asked to be removed from ballots in ten key battleground states after he suspended his campaign last month. RFK will stay on the ballot in states where his presence will hurt Kamala, and he will remove himself from ballots in states where his presence hurts Trump. “In about 10 battleground states, where my presence would be a spoiler, I’m going to remove my name. And I’ve already started that process and urge voters not to...

That’s six times the election margin between Joe Biden and Donald Trump in 2020.Election Integrity deniers often complain that Wisconsin has one of the more stringent voter ID laws in the country. That’s a good thing; the swing state Badger State has proved to be a cesspool of election integrity concerns in recent years. But there’s a voter ID-related loophole cheaters can drive a semi truckload of fraud through. In Wisconsin, voters may claim “Indefinitely Confined” status, which allows them to receive an absentee ballot without presenting proof that they are who they claim to be. A new report, “Wisconsin’s...

CEASE & DESIST: I, together with many Attorneys and Legal Scholars, am watching the Sanctity of the 2024 Presidential Election very closely because I know, better than most, the rampant Cheating and Skullduggery that has taken place by the Democrats in the 2020 Presidential Election. It was a Disgrace to our Nation! Therefore, the 2024 Election, where Votes have just started being cast, will be under the closest professional scrutiny and, WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of...

A court decided Thursday that voters in the presidential battleground of Pennsylvania can cast provisional ballots in place of mail-in ballots that are rejected for a garden-variety mistake they made when they returned it.

The left is targeting the electoral system and local election boards. Their strategy appears to be simple: Make the rules. Decide the game.Democrats have been on a swing-state crusade to rid election boards of anyone who is more concerned with the fairness and accuracy of our elections than with making sure the Democrat comes out on top. The left’s strategy is predictable yet effective. Utilizing a sophisticated information campaign that includes law articles, op-eds, boots-on-the-ground activism, and large amounts of funding from a handful of elite megadonors, the crusade targets GOP candidates at the local level, as Politico recently reported.The...

The administration of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, has not explained how noncitizens made it onto the state's voter rolls, according to the Republican National Committee (RNC) and the Minnesota GOP, which penned a letter to the state's Department of Public Safety. Kevin Cline, election integrity counsel for the Republican National Committee, and David Hann, chairman of the Minnesota Republican Party, first wrote to the Walz administration last month flagging how a noncitizen, legally living in the state and fearful of jeopardizing his status, came forward to report receiving a primary ballot without having registered to...

Although the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party secured a first-place finish in the Saxony elections on Sunday, the party is still launching an investigation into an alleged computer error that cost them a seat in parliament and is also calling for an end to mail-in votes, citing security concerns and shady practices.The first issue is the alleged software glitch that resulted in the AfD and the Christian Democrats (CDU) both losing a seat, while the Greens and Social Democrats (SPD) both gained one seat. The party says that it is launching an investigation into this.“We want to know exactly what...
