The Supreme Court is considering a Louisiana redistricting case that could have a greater impact on U.S House of Representatives seats than the Texas and California "gerrymandering" maneuvers combined. The New York Times wrote, "Democrats would be in danger of losing around a dozen majority-minority districts across the South if the court struck down part of the Voting Rights Act." White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller tweeted, "How many people just realized that Dems had as many as 20 extra seats based on years of unconstitutional race-based gerrymandering?" For the purpose of "racial justice" under the Voting Rights...

By placing the citizenship requirement directly into the state constitution, the...

A federal judge ruled Friday that President Donald Trump’s request to add a documentary proof of citizenship requirement to the federal voter registration form cannot be enforced. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, a Clinton appointee, sided with left-wing and “civil rights” groups that had sued the Trump Administration over his executive order aimed at bolstering election integrity. The order, titled “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections,” directs federal agencies like the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Social Security Administration (SSA), and Department of State to provide states access to federal databases to verify voter eligibility and citizenship during...

The elections on Tuesday hardly seem to be top of mind for President Trump.He has spent the last week crisscrossing Asia, talking trade, nuclear weapons and rare earths, and is headed to Florida this weekend. He has not appeared in person in any of the major states hosting elections, like New Jersey or California, to pump up his party’s candidate or cause. In Virginia, where a weak Republican candidate for governor is lagging behind an impervious-looking Democrat, he’s offered only a tepid endorsement late in the campaign.(This has not, of course, stopped Democrats from talking about him, either in California,...

Activist Judge Collen Kollar-Kotelly BLOCKED President Trump’s proof of citizenship requirement for federal voter registrations. This is nothing more than pure lawlessness.

Kollar-Kotelly sided with far-left Democratic groups that sued the Trump administration for having the audacity to demand that voters in US elections are actually US citizens. According to the AP, Judge Kollar-Kotelly ruled that asking for proof of citizenship violated the separation of powers. That doesn’t make...

Early voting commenced in Pennsylvania yesterday, the same day Charlie Kirk would have turned 32. So Scott Presler came to the heart of Doylestown to celebrate the life and work of the late MAGA lion in a way Presler believes his friend would have loved. “The world is watching how we respond to Charlie Kirk’s assassination,” Presler said. “We’re not going to respond with violence; we’re not going to respond with burning down buildings; we’re not going to respond with anything other than peace. And also, we fight with ballots, not bullets.” The seasoned activist observed that turnout inevitably drops...

Here’s the latest. The Supreme Court appeared poised on Wednesday to upend a key provision of a landmark civil rights law by prohibiting lawmakers from using race as a factor in drawing voting maps, which could spark widespread redistricting efforts. If the justices determine that lawmakers may not consider race in drawing districts, the repercussions for the country’s political balance could be sweeping, allowing Republican state legislatures to eliminate at least a dozen Democratic-held House districts across the South.
