The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday restored several pieces of a 2021 Texas election law that overhauled mail-in and assisted voting, overturning a lower court’s block on those provisions. Five years ago, Texas passed Senate Bill 1, a wide-reaching election law that changed the way local officials administer elections and how some Texans vote, particularly aimed at initiatives Harris County implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic. The law was denounced by voter advocacy groups, civil rights organizations and Democratic lawmakers, who broke quorum in an attempt to stifle the bill. After several lawsuits over accessibility concerns created by...

A recount of Indiana's 23rd Senate district primary has flipped the race in favor of a Trump-backed Republican who sought to oust an incumbent lawmaker who opposed redistricting. State Sen. Spencer Deery, R, emerged narrowly ahead on primary night, but the recount has seen the race flip to Paula Copenhaver, local outlet WRTV reported. President Donald Trump backed primary challengers to eight Indiana senators who refused his push to redistrict the state, resulting in six of them losing their seats on primary night. Copenhaver's eventual win puts the figure at seven ousted. Deery led by three votes before the recount,...

Milan — Out in the country on a rutted dirt road lined with corn lives an old woman and her dog. Elizabeth Waffle, 88, was forced to move into a shabby trailer two years ago after her house burned down. She owns an old pickup truck but no computer. Nevertheless, Waffle, who lives on a modest pension, is a true believer in liberal causes and continues to make small political donations by way of ActBlue—the Democrat online fundraising platform. But somehow, those few dozen small donations she has made over the past five years have transmogrified into 14,696 donations totaling...

The Republican National Committee and the New Jersey GOP went looking through voter-roll records in one of America’s bluest states. What surfaced should make every legal voter pay attention. Fox News reported Monday that documents obtained through public-records requests showed noncitizens on New Jersey voter rolls for years, including some cases where voting histories also appeared. The NJGOP and RNC requested voter rolls from all 21 New Jersey counties, according to the report. The records reportedly showed multiple noncitizens seeking naturalization asking to be removed from the rolls, saying they had been unknowingly registered to vote. Most of those noncitizens...

A new lawsuit filed against California Secretary of State Shirley Weber is reigniting concerns about election integrity in the nation’s largest state. The plaintiffs are alleging that hundreds of thousands of inactive voter registrations remain on California’s voter rolls in violation of federal law. The lawsuit was filed in federal court by Orange County Supervisor and Republican Secretary of State candidate Don Wagner alongside the American Independent Party of California. The lawsuit claims that California has failed to remove approximately 873,092 inactive voter registrations despite legal requirements mandating voter roll maintenance. The complaint was filed with the assistance of Judicial...

President Trump went on the record again about the 2020 election, and this time he says the guessing is over. Speaking in a new Pod Force One interview with Miranda Devine, Trump said the contest was rigged and that his team now knows exactly what happened. “The election was rigged. We know who rigged the election,” Trump said. He added: “We know everything now.” Leading Report summarized the moment this way: The important caveat is that Trump did not name specific people in that exchange. When Devine pressed him on whether anyone would be punished, Trump declined to spell it...

A damning discovery of voter registration fraud in New York has flown under the national radar. Andrew Paquette, the research director of the New York Citizens Audit — a non-partisan group of New York citizens who use publicly available voter roll databases obtained directly from state and local boards of elections — discovered 1.47 million voter registrations that currently possess identical signatures. This is an impossibility among legitimate registrations and a clear violation of the law. A number this large is cause for concern no matter the margins of any given election. The concern is even greater given that crucial...

The right to vote in a free and fair election is fundamental to our democratic republic, and Congress should ensure Americans’ voices at the ballot box are not diluted by the ballots of illegal aliens and other noncitizens. The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act strengthens the integrity of our elections by closing a loophole and requiring individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register to vote in federal elections. Every state requires an individual to be a citizen to register and vote in state and federal elections, and it’s a felony to falsely claim to...

He also wants to restrict mail-in voting and allow only paper ballots. The Constitution doesn’t give the president explicit authority over election law.President Trump said late Saturday that he would issue an executive order to require voter identification for all U.S. elections, a continuation of his efforts to overhaul the nation’s election laws, which he has long attacked and falsely blamed for his 2020 election loss.In a post on Truth Social, Mr. Trump said, “Voter I.D. Must Be Part of Every Single Vote. NO EXCEPTIONS! I Will Be Doing An Executive Order To That End!!!” He did not provide further...

Auditors found one in 35 voters didn’t have proof of citizenship — then looked the other way.After revelations that Oregon’s “motor voter” system registered hundreds of possible noncitizens, the state government launched an audit. Auditors found one in 35 voters didn’t have proof of citizenship — then looked the other way.Oregon officials discovered in September hundreds of potential noncitizens had registered to vote. They examined limited data and eventually found the motor voter system had placed more than 1,600 possible ineligible voters on the rolls. State leaders commissioned an audit — which, as Oregon journalist Jeff Eager first reported, found...
