Democrat T.J. Cox claimed victory Wednesday over Republican U.S. Rep. David Valadao after an updated vote count increased his lead in a California farm-belt district. Cox, who trailed in the vote tally until Monday, increased his lead to 529 votes out of about 113,000 cast, after updated numbers were released by Fresno, Kings and Tulare counties. The district also cuts through Kern County, which is expected to update its vote count by Monday. While votes still are being counted, the tallies have favored Cox in post-Election Day updates, prompting him to declare the race over. “I am elated to announce...

A Texas appeals court upheld the conviction of green card holder Rosa Maria Ortega for voter fraud on Wednesday, cementing a sentence of eight years in jail and a likely deportation. Ortega, a mother of four, reportedly thought she was able to vote because she was a permanent resident. She voted five times between 2004 and 2014 — once for the attorney general, Ken Paxton, who later prosecuted her, according to her attorney. She also reportedly served as a poll worker. "She doesn't know. She's got this [green] card that says 'resident' on it, so she doesn’t mark that she's...

A House race in California that was previously called in favor of Rep. David Valadao (R-Calif.) has been called into question, with Democrat T.J. Cox pulling ahead Monday in the vote count.

"No new call will be made until the results are certified," the AP wrote in a tweet. --- The race in California's 21st Congressional District, which includes the San Joaquin Valley, is the last contested race in the country. Cox holds a 438-vote lead as of...

Evidence reported to the Department of State suggests a possible effort by Democrats to have voters fix ballots after the state’s deadline in at least four counties. Cure forms for mail ballots sent to voters by the party show the return date changed from the day before the election to two days afterwards. Democratic strategist Steve Schale says it was likely just a mix up. “Some 23-year-old staffer probably got two dates mixed up,” said Schale. “They p

Los Angeles County prosecutors Tuesday announced the charges, which include circulating a petition with false names, voter fraud and registering a nonexistent person during election cycles in 2016 and this year. “They paid individuals to sign the names,” said Officer Deon Joseph, the senior lead officer on skid row, told The Times in September....

Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes tries to explain to the canvassing board the discrepancy in vote counts during the hand count,... recount hit yet another snag with 2,040 ballots lost or misplaced. The county’s eternally beleaguered SOE Snipes said they were either misplaced, misfiled or mixed in with another stack. One thing she said she was sure of was that the ballots were still in the building. “The ballots are in this building. There would be nowhere else for them to be,” Snipes said. “The ballots are in the building." Snipes has been in the crosshairs... since Election...

Democratic consultant claims he warned party staffers about legality but was ignored. It seems clear at this point that Democrats in Florida were not going to accept defeat in the 2018 midterms and were prepared to do whatever it takes to win, including fraud. In multiple counties, an effort has been underway to “fix” certain mail ballots in the hope that they could turn the tide after the fact. Try to imagine the media’s reaction if Republicans were doing this. Ana Ceballos reports at the Naples Daily News: Democrats planned to use altered forms to fix mail ballots across Florida...

Fresh off its bungled machine recount, Broward County’s second day of manual recounting temporarily stopped about an hour after it began Saturday when lawyers from both political parties pointed out that volunteers were counting the wrong ballots. Hundreds of volunteers spent most of Friday sorting through 32,000 overvotes and undervotes in the Senate race between incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson and Republican Gov. Rick Scott. Broward officials announced Friday night they had finished their manual recount. On Saturday, the volunteers started sorting about 22,000 undervotes and overvotes in the contentious contest for Florida Commissioner of Agriculture. That came to a grinding...

Smoking Gun: The post-midterm election chaos is continuing in Florida thanks to ongoing efforts by Democrats to reverse GOP victories in the U.S. Senate and gubernatorial races last week, but pro-POTUS Trump activist may have found some evidence that could spell an end to the shenanigans. “Bikers for Trump” leader Chris Cox says he has found plastic seals on the ground near Broward County election headquarters that may have been improperly removed from sealed ballot boxes. Cox brought attention to the sealed ties after making his way through a group of protesters at Broward County elections HQ reported The Washington...

A few days ago, Mrs. Clinton said something rather irresponsible. She told an audience that Stacey Abrams would have already won Georgia race if “she had a fair election.” Did someone mention to Mrs. Clinton that Mr. Kemp is up by 58,000? What evidence does Mrs. Clinton have? Is she suggesting that the entire election system in Georgia is corrupt? What about the Democrats who won? Are those elections unfair too? We are watching three important stories here: First, the Democrats are playing the race card through these recounts. It's no coincidence that the two losing candidates are liberal African...

FM stations in south GA are still running Stacey Abrams paid radio ads (on black-rap stations - recruiting people who could claim they had "any problems voting" .... No "concession " eh?

Big League Politics has obtained a photo showing four ballots with the exact same voter identifier in Alameda County, California.

For decades, the county has regularly been a hot zone for election-night chaos in both statewide and national races, including the infamous 2000 presidential election. Years of problems have only slapped additional coats of paint on the county’s sordid reputation as a black hole for ballots.

Moment of Truth: It isn’t often that CNN gets a story right in the Trump era, but network correspondent John King actually offered an honest assessment of the Democrat-caused election chaos playing out in Florida. He said during a broadcast Thursday that the party of the donkey will have to find Left-wing judicial activists on the bench who are willing to “bend” Florida law in order to hand victories to Democrats Andrew Gillum and Sen. Bill Nelson. Noting that based on legitimate returns from last week’s midterm elections, King said there’s no mathematical path to victories for Dems unless they...

Massive Hypocrisy: The state of Florida has massive problems with its electoral processes, but most of them are caused by humans ignoring state law. We’ve seen how election supervisors in Democrat-heavy counties like Broward and Palm Beach bend and even break the rules in ways that they hope will eventually lead to Democratic victories at the state and federal level. But now there are reports that an election supervisor in a heavily-Republican county has also allegedly broken the rules in order to allow fewer than 200 people displaced by recent storms to cast ballots — by email and by fax.
