Does anyone remember on 2016 election night around the time it began to look like Trump winning Nate silver was on TV somewhere and he commented on the Midwest. He said something like: If Trump is winning Ohio and Iowa by 4 or 5 points it means it is likely he could win Wisconsin Pennsylvania and Michigan as the voters are all similar. He made it sound statistically baked in as a rule that could generally be counted on. Imagine applying that statement to Ohio and Iowa in 2020. If anyone can find the clip I think it would be...

Democrat and Peekskill Common Council member and Housing Authority Board member Rob Scott, 44, has been arrested and charged with forging signatures of deceased voters on his election petition. Scott tried to bump up his numbers to secure a spot on the ballot for the Westchester County Board of Legislators, which ultimately backfired. The Democrat’s attempt to challenge incumbent County Legislator Colin Smith for the Democratic nomination in last year’s primary fell flat on its face when th

A top leader of the national conservative group Turning Point Action, which has amplified false claims of election fraud by former president Donald Trump and others, resigned Thursday after being accused of forging voter signatures on official paperwork so that he could run for reelection in the Arizona House. State Rep. Austin Smith (R) — who was senior director at Turning Point Action, the campaign arm of Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA — was accused by a Democratic activist of submitting petition sheets with rows of voter names, addresses and signatures that “bear a striking resemblance” to Smith’s handwriting, according...

For political reasons, Los Angeles DA George Gascon dismissed the criminal charges against Konnech CEO Eugene Yu, says the lead prosecutor on the case. LA County District Attorney George Gascon improperly — and for political reasons — dismissed the criminal charges against the CEO of election software services company Konnech, a governmental tort complaint filed Wednesday by the lead prosecutor on the case claims. That eight-page complaint against Gascon with the county Board of Supervisors further alleges the DA retaliated against his lead prosecutor for opposing the dismissal of the charges — and reveals many more previously unknown and troubling...

As it stands, liberal Arizona voting laws have paved the way for non-citizens, whether they are legal or not, to register for and cast a ballot in the 2024 presidential election. U.S. Air Force master sergeant Nick Kupper, who is one of several state legislature candidates vying for a seat in the Arizona House of Representatives’ District 25. While the voting laws do not affect his run for office, he is gravely concerned about the upcoming presidential race. “In Arizona,” Kupper said, “even if the state can’t verify whether you’re a citizen, people can still assert that they are citizens.”...

Amid delivery delays by the United States Postal Service and mail-in ballot fraud, Democrats and the media are finally acknowledging there are some issues with mail-in voting ahead of the 2024 presidential election. As mail-in voting has increased since the 2020 presidential election during the COVID-19 lockdowns, Democrats have advocated for it as an easier method of voting. However, as USPS has experienced delivery issues and ballot harvesting has led to at least one "redo" election, some Democrats and media are noting the issues with the voting method. USPS started using a new distribution system last year, which appears to...

At least four voters say their signatures were forged on petitions to qualify an Arizona Libertarian candidate running for Congress to appear on the ballot, according to a report from the Arizona Republic. And now a man whose name is listed as one of the signature gatherers says his name was also forged and claims he’s not involved.Michelle Martin is seeking to get on the ballot in Arizona’s 1st Congressional District, which includes part of Maricopa County. Martin needed roughly 800 signatures from registered voters to qualify, and her team reportedly submitted approximately 1,200 signatures.But among the signers’ names were...

Since the chaotic 2020 election and coincident expansion of mail-in balloting, America’s corrupt media have gone full throttle to convince the country that this unsupervised system is 1,000 percent safe and never produces fraud. The same consensus also accuses Americans concerned about the risks associated with mass mail-in voting of being conspiracy theorists and so-called “election deniers.”Within the past week, however, several legacy publications have released stories tacitly admitting that the process is not as secure or reliable as they regularly claim. On Saturday, NBC News — effectively a propaganda arm of the Democrat Party — published an article raising...

The city's Democratic Town Committee overwhelmingly reelected Wanda Geter-Pataky its second-in-command Monday, despite her being the focus of a trio of state and local election investigations.

"Let it take its course. Then we see where we go from there." -snip An ally of Mayor Joe Ganim's, Geter-Pataky has been at the heart of an absentee ballot scandal that made national and international news and resulted in a new court-ordered mayoral primary...

Mark Wingate, a Fulton County Elections Board member, recently testified that he voted against the certification of the 2020 presidential election due to concerns he had regarding the integrity of the election. The Elections Board member claimed that Fulton County failed to verify the signatures of over 147,000 mail-in ballots.

A shocking revelation shakes the foundation of democracy as 386,422 new voters flood the registration rolls without a photo ID in a single week, with a staggering 277,077 of them in Texas alone. The innocence of this surge in registrations is dubious at best, especially considering the alarming trend unfolding in key swing states. Data from the government’s own records paints a damning picture: illegals, unable to obtain licenses but furnished with Social Security Numbers for work permits, are exploiting the system to tilt the electoral playing field in favor of the Democrats. This isn’t an isolated incident—it’s a calculated...

VIDEO It's a miracle! In the Democrat primary race for Cook County State's Attorney the law and order candidate, Eileen O'Neil Burke, was leading her standard Democrat (meaning NOT law and order) opponent by over 10,000 votes in the March 19 primary election. And then the miracle happened! A few days after the election 10,000 uncounted ballots were found! And then, miracle of miracles, almost all of those ballots were cast for the leftist candidate opposed to law and order. And WHO counted those votes? Why a radical leftist defund the police communications director for the Chicago Board of Elections,...

Winning requires first acknowledging past and existing problems.The Republican National Committee (RNC) is reportedly asking prospective employees what they think about the 2020 election — as they should. Citing unnamed sources, The Washington Post reported that job applicants at the RNC have been asked about whether they believe the 2020 election was “stolen,” although the Post acknowledged the questions were “open-ended.”The Post tried to spin the story as the RNC “demanding fealty” to former President Donald Trump, using the words of President Joe Biden’s rapid response director. But beating Democrats — who showed in 2020 that they are willing to...

The answer for those who hate the invasion of Zuckbucks is ‘Yes’ times two on the April 2 referendum questions.Hey, Wisconsin: The future of “Zuckbucks” is coming to a ballot near you. Badger State voters have the opportunity on Tuesday, April 2 to kill the snake of private funding in election administration, which consumed the 2020 elections under cover of Covid thanks in large part to the “generous” donations of Facebook founder and conservative speech silencer Mark Zuckerberg. Coupled with a meaningless presidential primary and a spate of local elections, two critical questions on the spring election ballot ask voters...

The New York City Council is begging an appellate court to authorize more than 800,000 foreign nationals to vote in the city’s municipal elections. In January 2022, Democrats on the 51-member New York City Council approved an ordinance to give more than 800,000 foreign nationals with green cards, visas, and work permits the opportunity to vote in citywide elections so long as they have resided in the city for at least 30 consecutive days. Following lawsuits over the ordinance, the New York Supreme Court in June 2022 ruled that giving local voting rights to foreign nationals violated the state’s constitution,...

Focus Ireland is hoping to help thousands of homeless people to register to vote ahead of the local and European elections in June.

More than 50,000 Irish people have spent at least one night of their lives homeless, according to figures published by Focus Ireland. …

A Wisconsin election official tried to say she was a whistleblower pointing out flaws in our voting systems, but the jury felt otherwise. Kimberly Zapata, a former deputy director for the Milwaukee Election Commission, was found guilty on March 20 of misconduct in office and election fraud after ordering fake military ballots. However, she says it was never her intention for them to be processed. She was indicted last November. The trial lasted three days, where Zapata didn’t testify. The election cycle where Zapata pursued this fake military ballot scheme was during the 2022 midterms (via Milwaukee Journal Sentinel):🚨🚨And here...

In the spring of 2021, volunteer investigators from Ohio acquired publicly available voter data for all 88 counties and started their analysis. Over the next year the researchers found hundreds of thousands of records in their state’s voter rolls with irregular data for which they couldn’t identify consistent explanations, no matter who they asked. In late summer of 2022, they reached out to Marly Hornik, co-leader of New York Citizens Audit, whose team had identified similar inaccuracies in the New York State data. [SNIP] The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 requires election rolls to be accurate. The Ohio team...
