Where are the 20 million missing Democrat votes ? - In 2004 John Kerry received 59,000,000 votes. - In 2008 Barack Obama exploded and 69,500,000 votes . - In 2012, Obama runs again, 65.9 million. - Then in 2016, Hillary Clinton runs, Hillary got 65,900,000. - So this is where it starts to get a little fishy. In 2020, Biden explodes and receives over 81,000,000 votes. By the way, the guy didn't really campaign. Everybody's like, oh my God, that is a record. Was Biden that popular? Did I miss something over the past twenty years here? - And 2024...

As Greenlanders prepare to head to the polls this week, the United States — and particularly President Trump’s stated interest in acquiring the territory — is looming large over their vote. Greenland’s national election Tuesday is set to determine 31 members of the Inatsisartut, its parliament. The world’s largest island is a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, and while independence won’t be on the ballot this week, the results could ultimately set the stage for a later referendum on its future control. Despite pushback from both Danish and European authorities, Trump has doubled down in his quest for the U.S. to...

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., has emerged into the spotlight amid a new ethics complaint due to his voting in favor of laws that ultimately funded millions in grants to a nonprofit climate group that pays his wife's consulting firm. But who is his wife, Sandra Whitehouse? Whitehouse earned her bachelor's degree at Yale University, similar to her now-senator husband, according to her LinkedIn page. After that, she earned her master's degree at the Graduate School of Oceanography at the University of Rhode Island, studying there from 1986 to 1994. She and Sheldon Whitehouse married in 1986 at the St. George's...

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) voted on Wednesday with Democrat colleagues against confirming Tulsi Gabbard as the Director of National Intelligence. McConnell’s vote underscores his repeated opposition to President Donald Trump and his America First policies. He previously voted against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s confirmation in January. McConnell was the only Republican to vote “no” on Trump’s nomination. Every Democrat voted “no.” Despite Democrat and McConnell’s opposition, the Senate confirmed Gabbard’s nomination by a vote of 52-48.

President Trump on Friday said he wasn’t expecting Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Susan Collins (Maine) to vote against his controversial nominee for secretary of Defense, Army veteran and former Fox News host Pete Hegseth. “I was very surprised that Collins and Murkowski would do that,” Trump said. The president also nodded to the yes vote from Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to advance Hegseth’s nomination, saying he is “always a no vote. Was Mitch a no vote? How about Mitch?” McConnell voted to advance Hegseth’s confirmation. “Let’s see what happens,” the president said. The Senate voted largely along party...

Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) said Tuesday on Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Co.” that Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) did not have the votes to keep the position. Roy said, “I remain undecided, as do a number of my colleagues because we saw so many of the failures last year that we are concerned about that might limit or inhibit our ability to advance the president’s agenda.” He continued, “We violated the 72-hour rule twice, which means we didn’t have time to read a bill. We had to have Elon and Vivek and the president and JD come in to kill...

The election is a month in the rear-view mirror, but all the votes have yet to be counted, and Democrats are still picking up seats with mysterious improvements in their ballot counts. It's a mystery wrapped up in an enigma. A sixth grader could get the votes counted in some of these elections in less time than it takes California to tabulate the ballots, and in places like Minnesota we are still finding out about ballots that mysteriously disappeared into trash cans, with the result being that a Democrat flipped a state legislative seat. 20 ballots weren't counted in a...

The presidential election of 2024 was three weeks ago, but as of Tuesday morning, New Jersey has still counted only 91% of the votes that were cast (or something) there. California and Oregon have only gotten around to counting 93%. And so, several times a day, the popular vote totals for Donald Trump and Kamala Harris continue to be adjusted. Trump still has a comfortable lead, but Harris has (surprise, surprise) been steadily narrowing that lead. On what is quaintly still referred to as Election Day, Trump’s popular vote lead was about 4.5 million; now it’s down to 2.4 million...

‘The thing missing was clearly the most important thing.’On Nov. 12, the Fulton County Board of Registration and Election (FCBRE) certified the results of the 2024 election. Except no one knows with certainty if the results were actually accurate because crucial data was withheld, according to a member of the board.President-elect Donald Trump won the Peach State but lost Fulton County to Vice President Kamala Harris by 240,097 votes. The results were then certified on Nov. 12, but board members, who are considered the superintendents of elections, weren’t given access to all the requested election-related documentation, FCBRE member Julie Adams...

Florida has officially certified the 2024 election results, showing President-elect Donald Trump received 1.4 million more votes in the Sunshine State than Vice President Kamala Harris. “While other states are still counting votes, I had the honor of certifying Florida’s elections this morning,” Florida’s Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis said on Tuesday, sharing a brief video of him signing the documents. “Congrats to @RealDonaldTrump, @SenRickScott, and all of Florida’s newly elected lawmakers!” he exclaimed. According to the final results, the Trump-Vance ticket garnered 56.09 percent of the vote — 13.1 percent higher than Harris-Walz’s 42.99 percent. Trump-Vance received 6,110,125 votes,...

As is inevitable in any losing presidential effort, a lot of the fingers being pointed at Democratic culprits are aimed at the Harris-Walz campaign, with a big negative assist from the former Biden-Harris campaign that was terminated in July. Some critics think Kamala Harris failed sufficiently to “pivot to the center” when the Trump campaign was pounding her as “radical communist”; others believe she erred by failing to go hard-core lefty populist. Still others seem to be certain she should have junked her billion-dollar ad blitz and instead appeared on a few dozen podcasts. The reality is that while the...

Harris’ vote total this time, they note, was in line with the totals...

Another day of vote counting in Arizona has added tens of thousands of votes to the tally, but there remain hundreds of thousands of ballots left to count — including nearly half a million in Maricopa County. Officials there are still working their way through advance votes that arrived in October. The races for president and U.S. Senate will remain too early to call for at least another day. 2024 ARIZ.

NBC News warned that Americans would face a delay in the presidential election results as “Nevada will take a week to count all their votes.” “So, she wins North Carolina, we could be living here in Nevada waiting and waiting and waiting,” NBC News’s Chuck Todd said. “And, if you remember, Nevada will take a week to count all their votes.” Todd added that “more ballots” would come in.

In Pennsylvania, Gov. Josh Shapiro was admonished by a judge for sending uniformed police officers to impede Republicans trying to cast early ballots. GOP State Committeewoman Val Biancaniello asserted that "the police were violating the law by telling these voters to go home." So they arrested her. Her lawyer Linda Kerns said "state law says no voter should be told to go home. If they get in line before the posted closing time, each voter must be permitted to request, fill out, and return their mail ballot." The judge ordered that early voting be extended to 5 pm Friday, November...

Hollywood star Julia Roberts has narrated a new Kamala Harris commercial that is encouraging women to intentionally deceive their Trump-supporting husbands by secretly voting for the Harris-Walz ticket — in effect, canceling out their husbands’ votes. The new commercial shows a white suburban woman voting for Kamala Harris as her Trump-supporting husband — who is portrayed as obnoxious and vaguely sexist — watches from afar. “Remember, what happens in the booth stays in the booth,” Roberts says.

Americans have already cast 30 million votes in the first weeks of early voting, according to the University of Florida’s Election Lab. The number of early votes suggests Americans are highly motivated to cast their ballot before Election Day, which saves the Trump and Harris campaigns time and money. Swing state early voting data, which is more valuable than polling, appears to be benefiting former President Donald Trump thus far. More on Trump’s preliminary lead is here. Republicans took the lead in cumulative early voting in North Carolina and continued to hold it for a couple of days. The lead...

Donald Trump’s campaign has expressed cautious optimism about the Republican nominee’s chances of becoming the 47th president, with early voting numbers indicating the former chief executive is on course to defeat Vice President Kamala Harris. While officials have insisted that “anything can happen” and that it is “too early to declare victory,” the initial returns from key states look better for the 78-year-old than both the 2016 and 2020 elections. “Overall, both nationally and in battleground states, we are seeing strong returns for Republicans so far,” a Trump campaign adviser said on a surrogate call Wednesday. “From where we’re sitting...
