In his speech earlier this month, President Trump pointed straight at large numbers of non-citizens on voter rolls, voting machines subject to manipulation, China’s acquisition and exploitation of voter data, and blue-state officials who allegedly buried or covered up these vulnerabilities. Days later, even New Jersey’s Democrat governor had to admit a software error put roughly 6,600 non-citizens on the voter rolls and that nearly 400 of them voted. The same election manipulation game is running full speed in California under Governor Newsom and in Minnesota under Tim Walz. This essay looks at all of those problems. Soft official “investigations”...

A prominent election-integrity activist has uncovered bombshell evidence suggesting that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s 2025 election victory may not have been legitimate. Marly Hornik, the founder of RealAmerica.Vote and NY Citizens Audit, has suggested that the 2025 election included large numbers of unqualified or nonexistent voters. But that’s only part of the problem. “I actually don’t know whether Mamdani won the mayoral race, and I’m not here to say that he didn’t,” Hornik said ... The problem we uncovered is that the New York City and the New York State Boards of Elections have no idea if Mamdani...

This video, presented by Black Conservative Perspective, discusses recent reports regarding the registration of non-citizens in U.S. voter rolls, specifically highlighting a situation in New Jersey. Key takeaways include: New Jersey Voter Registration Issue: Governor Mikie Sherrill announced that approximately 6,600 non-citizens were improperly registered to vote due to a software error in the state's Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) system between 2023 and 2024 (1:51-2:16, 6:48-7:03). The state reports that fewer than 400 of these individuals cast ballots in elections (7:54-8:02). Federal Enforcement and Threats: The creator attributes this disclosure to a broader federal push by the Trump administration to...

When President Donald Trump talked about some of the things China has done to literally steal our democracy by seeing to it that, in 2020, its Manchurian candidate was elected in the form of a semi-comatose Joe Biden, many of the things he mentioned had already been in the news, but they may not have been covered by the legacy media.Case in point: Trump mentioned in his July 16 address to the nation that China stole TikTok data to create fake U.S. driver’s licenses.If you follow conservative media, you may have known this. If you get your news from the...

We have all heard it many times. According to “journalists,” claims made by President Trump regarding election cheating are “unfounded,” “disproven,” and/or “debunked.” However, irrefutable evidence of large-scale 2020 election fraud exists. On Thursday night, the president outlined four specific areas of election concern. I’d like to address one of them: corrupt Michigan voter registrations in the 2020 election. Trump said, “Even when significant evidence of fraud has been detected, it has been buried and covered up.” The president is correct: Widespread evidence of Michigan fraud was detected before the 2020 election. After it was discovered and reviewed by the...

So Trump's speech landed like a tree in the forest with no one listening. What could have made it more viral? I was thinking he could have started it with: "As I am speaking, the FBI is currently arresting hundreds of people connected to voter fraud..."

This is a big one in both length and materiality - newly declassified documents from the White House (available for download here) that cover: Democratic large-scale voter fraud in Michigan in 2020; and China’s acquisition of voter data and Chinese plans of election interference; Vulnerabilities in electronic voting systems; and Noncitizens on state voter rolls. We begin with Michigan. In March 2021, the FBI was informed that the State of Michigan is investigating allegations of fraudulent voter registrations submitted to the Muskegon City Clerk’s Office. State investigators were estimated that between 8,000 to 10,000 voter registrations had been delivered by...

Two nights ago, President Trump went on national television and again called out the vulnerability of electronic voting machines to manipulation. The White House election-integrity page puts it bluntly: “For years Americans were blatantly lied to about the security of our election infrastructure, including electronic voting machines and ballot-counting systems.” In its typical smokescreen tactic to distract the public from the facts, the left immediately dismissed the concerns as a “conspiracy theory.” But in this case, not so fast... The left should have asked federal democrat Judge Amy Totenberg first. In October 2020—just weeks before the presidential election—U.S. District Judge...

President Trump spoke to the nation last night about serious problems with American elections. You could watch the speech live on Fox News, Newsmax, C-SPAN, and PBS. ABC, NBC, and CNN refused to air the speech on their live broadcasts, while CBS and MSNBC managed to air just a little bit before abandoning it to spout their own opinions (including what they laughably call “fact checks”). That’s the state of America today. It was a good speech but ended (I thought) weakly. Had the networks (some of which still have a free gig on the public airways) run the speech,...

President Donald Trump in his primetime speech on Thursday is alleging vulnerabilities exist in American election systems, using a large trove of newly declassified documents as evidence to suggest future elections could be at risk of foreign interference, particularly by China. Though the documents are newly declassified, they largely discuss vulnerabilities that have been known for years and election officials around the country have tried to address. None of the declassified information supports the claim that any previous election results — including the 2020 presidential contest that Trump lost — were manipulated by foreign interference or fraud in a way...

King County (Seattle) decided it needs ONE more Ballot Drop Box. Where did they decide to locate it? Bellevue Community College. Current number of students? More than 20,000. Scroll down a few inches at the link and see what the County Drop Box map looks like. Bellevue (154,000) is an affluent suburb that used to be strongly pro-business, a true outlier in King County. Over the last six years, Bellevue City Council has become 100% Hard Left. Tragic.

Trump DOJ has secured about two dozen noncitizen voting arrests, prosecutions or convictions in the last few months, with about another 90 more cases under investigation. A small town Kansas mayor born in Mexico. A Filipino senior citizen living in Hawaii. Two Pakistani men residing in New Jersey. An Aussie in Louisiana. And a Chinese student studying at the University of Michigan. They all have one thing in common. Each has been charged in the last year with illegally voting in U.S. federal elections as foreigners, part of a sudden wave of prosecutions led by the Trump Justice Department for...

Since the changes to American voting procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic—and the disputed 2020 presidential election that culminated in the events on Jan. 6 in Washington—millions of Americans have questioned whether the country’s election system is sufficiently transparent and secure. Whatever one thinks of the events of 2020, restoring public confidence in elections is a pressing national issue. With this in mind, the U.S. House of Representatives recently passed the SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility). The legislation would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. Applicants would generally be expected to present acceptable...

WASHINGTON, July 1 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that his acting spy chief has wide permission to declassify records, including any tied to the 2020 election, even though his close ally is only at the intelligence helm for a short time. Trump appointed Bill Pulte as acting director ​of national intelligence last month, elevating a political loyalist with no national security experience at a ‌time of war and global tensions. Following a political backlash over his pick, Trump subsequently nominated Jay Clayton, the top U.S. attorney for Manhattan. But he then abruptly postponed Clayton’s confirmation hearing...

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett authored the majority opinion ruling in favor of a Mississippi law allowing mail-in ballots to be counted even if they are received well after Election Day. The Court was split 5-4 on the ruling with the turncoat Barrett, appointed by President Donald Trump, joined by Chief Justice John (“No Balls”) Roberts, as well as the usual Marxists in black, Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown-Jackson. The sane minority, including justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Samuel Alito were almost certainly shocked and appalled by the outcome. Incredibly, Barett’s opinion apparently...

A Long Island school clerk overseeing board of education elections tore up ballots and threw them in a dumpster to help her favorite candidate win, a newly revealed internal probe found. Hempstead Union Free School District Clerk April Keys allegedly rigged the May 19 trustee election by smuggling official ballots out of her office and handing absentee ballots to favored candidate Victor Pratt so he could trash them, according to a 51-page petition filed by the district with the state Education Department. Keys could now face criminal charges as the district is looking to overturn Pratt’s razor-thin win. “The Board...

The explosive expansion of mail-in voting — turbocharged during COVID and conveniently never rolled back in many blue states — punched a massive hole in American election security. Conservatives raised the alarm for years. They were dismissed as paranoid. The media shrugged. Meanwhile, ballots kept flying through the postal system with zero meaningful verification that the person on the envelope was, you know, an actual eligible voter. But something just shifted. The federal government has stumbled onto a devastatingly simple enforcement mechanism, and the states with the dirtiest voter rolls are already lawyering up. Funny how that works. From The...

A federal judge on Wednesday permanently barred President Trump’s administration from implementing most of his first executive order on elections, part of which sought to require people to show documentary proof of citizenship when they register to vote.The ruling by US District Court Judge Denise Casper in Boston effectively converts a preliminary injunction she issued a year ago, in which she temporarily blocked many of Trump’s efforts to overhaul elections, into a permanent ban. Casper rejected the administration’s argument that the lawsuit to block the changes brought by Democratic state attorneys general was premature because the rules had yet to...

It's mind-boggling that elections and election results take so long to complete, especially in a developed nation such as the United States.A person votes in the Virginia redistricting referendum at Lyles-Crouch Traditional Academy, Tuesday, April 21, 2026, in Alexandria, Va. AP Photo/Julia Demaree NikhinsonIt's inexcusable that our modern society can't establish firm timelines and expedite tabulation when many nations, both developed and developing, announce results on the same day as the election or within a day or two. Many of those countries lack the election technologies that the United States takes for granted.In the case of very close elections similar...

The Orange County woman who faces a series of felonies for registering her dog to vote in 2021 and 2022 made her first court appearance on Tuesday, saying through her legal team that she did so to "expose flaws" in California's voting system. Laura Lee Yourex, 62, of Costa Mesa, was charged with five felonies last week as she registered her dog, Maya, to vote in the 2021 gubernatorial recall election and the 2022 primary election, Orange County District Attorney prosecutors said. "The dog's vote was successfully counted in the 2021 gubernatorial recall election but was rejected in the 2022...
