PHOENIX - We have learned that millions of dollars have been raised to completely change how Arizonans vote in primary elections. The plan, which still has a few hurdles to overcome, aims to do away with separate ballots for each party. According to a statement, supporters have filed the plan with the Arizona Secretary of State's Office, and has launched their effort of gathering signatures to qualify the measure for the November 2024 ballot

In any contest between two or more parties, an impartial referee is often necessary to ensure that the rules are followed fairly. This includes sports and competitions of all kinds, debates, and yes, even spelling bees in elementary school. Without impartial judges, there is no confidence that the victories were legitimate. This is why it is such a scandal whenever it is alleged that a referee in a hotly-contested college football championship has made a questionable game-changing call, or when a judge is found to have ties to the defendant that seemingly slants his ruling. Local, state, and national news...

Canada’s Foreign Interference Commission heard Wednesday that Conservative MP Michael Chong, who was threatened by Chinese intelligence operators in Toronto, fears foreign agents could infiltrate closed party leadership races and effectively appoint Canadian prime ministers and premiers. Chong’s testimony reflected concerns from CSIS intelligence documents exclusively reported by The Bureau, which found Chinese proxy agents have allegedly infiltrated leadership contests for provincial and national parties recently. Networks of alleged United Front Work Department proxies and Chinese community leaders in Vancouver and Toronto have been the focus of Inquiry evidence so far, regarding Beijing’s attempts to attack candidates seen as “anti-China”...

. . . some states have so many registration requests from “non-drivers” (no valid ID) that it is hard to imagine an even larger number of requests from legitimate drivers. An oddity of the list is that the majority of the most suspicious states (UT, WY, MS, ND, TX, AZ, AK, GA, MT) are red states, and the least suspicious (DL, SC, ME, NM, MI, WI, CT) are blue. Almost as if someone is trying to pad the rolls in red states as the first stage of an attempted takeover by infusion of fake ballots. . . .

Joe Biden's team says that Florida is "winnable" in 2024. At first blush you say "No way" but don't dismiss it out of hand. Biden is actively working to illegally take Florida and Texas as you read this. democrats are the masters of rigged elections. The Daily Caller made a video about it. Here is the trailer https://youtu.be/A-6jGxcKziQdemocrats have a history of participating in questionable elections, a behavior that continues to this day. In a democrat state's attorney primary in Chicago (surprise) the anti-crime candidate was well ahead when 10,000 votes were suddenly "found." In Bridgeport CT a new mayoral...

Private money to fund elections will be banned in Wisconsin after voters approved a constitutional amendment Tuesday put forward by Republicans in reaction to grants received in 2020 that were funded by donations from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Voters also approved a second question put on the ballot by the Republican-controlled Legislature that amends the constitution to say that only election officials can administer elections. That’s already state law, but putting it in the constitution makes it more difficult to repeal or change. Democrats opposed both measures, which they argued would make it more difficult to conduct elections in the...

The number of voters registering without a photo ID is SKYROCKETING in 3 key swing states: Arizona, Texas, and Pennsylvania.

PHOENIX, Ariz. — It’s not lost on conservatives that Democrats have mastered the art of modern-day electioneering. Through the use of left-wing voter registration groups bankrolled by wealthy Democrat donors and highly sophisticated ballot chasing operations, Democrats have crafted a state-of-the-art machine designed to accrue their candidates an advantage over Republicans ahead of Election Day. The GOP’s failure to mimic similar operations has contributed to numerous electoral defeats in the years since the 2020 election and the coincident expansion of mail-in voting — but one conservative group is hoping to change that trend. Last week, Turning Point Action (TPA), the...

A higher number of Democrats than Republicans are leaving the House of Representatives after November's elections. All members of Congress are up for reelection in November, when President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump will face off in a historic presidential race. But several members of Congress have opted to not run for reelection this year after a tumultuous Congress defined by leadership battles and few bills becoming law. In total, 25 Democratic members of Congress have announced they are not seeking reelection in the House, the latest being Representative Annie Kuster of New Hampshire. Many plan to run...

Several stats stand out. First, we’ll look at those members giving up significant power — or potential power: Five committee chairs — more than 20 percent of all standing and select committee chairs — have announced their retirements this year, although one (Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green of Tennessee) later reversed course. Two of those chairs are subject to term limits, but Gallagher, Green and House Energy and Commerce Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) are not. More than one-fourth of Republicans on McMorris Rodgers’s powerful committee — eight of 29 — are retiring. The retirees also include four members...

Donald Trump is someone you should think carefully about hitching your financial fortunes to. The guy is a gifted carnival barker, no doubt. But when it comes to serious business, he is a bad bet. Many of his ventures, from vodka and steaks to casinos and “university” degrees, have flopped like dying fish. Declaring corporate bankruptcy seems to be one of his favorite hobbies. And even when he wriggles away from failure largely unscathed, the other parties involved aren’t always so fortunate. Where money is involved, anyone still foolish enough to crawl into bed with him should be prepared for...

Earlier this week we reported on our findings about net domestic migration trends in the U.S. based on voting patterns in the 2020 elections. (See: “The Great Divorce: 3.7 Million Have Fled Counties That Voted For Biden.”) But we realized there was a discrepancy in the numbers. For example, while more than 483,000 people have moved out of Los Angeles County since 2020, the county’s population only declined by 351,000. Over the past three years, more than 88,000 Americans left Harris County, Texas, yet its population actually increased by 104,000. And, while we found that, overall, 3.7 million people moved...

... SHASTA COUNTY, Calif. — Thursday marked the 41st and final election that Shasta County Clerk and Registrar of Voters Cathy Darling Allen certified before she retires in May. "It's bittersweet," Darling Allen told KRCR's Sam Chimenti on Thursday. ... "I hope that the community understands that elections administration is still under attack, very much so. And folks need to continue to watch the process and pay attention to our local politics. It's very important," she added.

Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro blocked the name of Maria Corina Machado, the winner of the Democratic Unitary Platform (PUD) primary, from appearing on the July election ballot. Recent polls show that she is favored to defeat Maduro in that election. Machado expressed a willingness to step aside and allow Dr. Corina Yoris to run in her place, but Maduro rejected her as well. Presidential Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said "obviously, we're deeply concerned by the Venezuela National Electoral Council's decision to prevent the registration of either of the democratic opposition party's candidates. You can't have a democracy if the ruling...

The liberal actor declared, 'In all honesty, I have educated myself so much since 2016' --------------------------------------------- Comedian and pro-Israel advocate Michael Rapaport shredded what the modern Democratic Party has become and explained why he is increasingly considering voting for Trump in a new interview. As part of a series about the Israel-Hamas conflict that rages in the Middle East, an interviewer from Visegrad24 spoke to Rapaport on the shores of an Israeli beach and asked, "Have your political views shifted? You’ve been a very vocal anti-Trump - probably the most vocal anti-Trump celebrity out there. Have your views shifted? I...

Republicans eked out a narrow win in the 2024 redistricting wars, gaining a single seat before the general election. While there’s an outside chance of another last-minute redistricting before November, after two significant court rulings this week the House landscape is largely locked in place — and the GOP is breathing a sigh of relief that this mid-decade round of redistricting went its way.

Atop Republican donor who previously backed Donald Trump's rivals Tim Scott and Nikki Haley in the GOP primary has now confirmed he will be voting for the former president in the 2024 election. Eric Levine, who has frequently said he wouldn't vote for Trump in the wake of the January 6 attack on the Capitol in 2021, has written a memo which has been shared on social media confirming he is switching allegiances, while stating that "the adage of 'never say never' is a wise one."

Wyoming is a supermajority state, with Republicans making up 86 of the state’s 93 legislators. But uniformity doesn’t mean unity, as the widening chasm between the state’s further-right Freedom Caucus and more moderate establishment Republicans has grown in recent years and begun to mirror GOP infighting nationwide. For much of the Cowboy State, political representation will be decided during the Republican primary on August 20. This year, all of the State’s House and 15 of the State’s Senate seats are up for grabs. And while the candidate filing period does not open until May 16, Wyoming has seen an early...
