A backlash looms for President Biden on Super Tuesday, when at least half of the states participating in presidential contests have an “uncommitted” line on their ballot – potentially allowing this week’s far-left voter revolt in Michigan to snowball, experts told The Post. Activists who launched the successful Michigan campaign have their sights on a slew of Super Tuesday primaries next week, including Massachusetts, Minnesota, Colorado, North Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Maine and Alabama — all of which have “uncommitted” or write-in slots on their Dem primary ballots. “Biden is not going to duplicate his 2020 coalition,” said veteran Dem strategist...

The Department of Education (DOE) released a “toolkit” laying out its plans to use taxpayer funds to turn out young voters who are likely to vote blue. The Biden administration has sought to use federal agencies — and their federal dollars — to conduct a “get-out-the-vote” scheme that appears designed to boost the president’s chances of reelection. Biden signed Executive Order 14019 within weeks of taking office. The order, as President of the Foundation for Government Accountability Tarren Bragdon explained in a 2022 column for The Federalist, “directs all federal agencies to do what they can to increase voter registration...

MSNBC’s Monday edition of “Morning Joe” featured an author duo who railed against white rural Americans as a “threat to democracy.” Professor of political science at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, Tom Schaller and journalist and opinion writer Paul Waldman joined “Morning Joe” to discuss their new book, “White Rural Rage,” while calling out the demographic for their voting patterns. Cohost Mika Brzezinski asked the pair, “Why are white rural voters a threat to democracy at this point? You would think, looking at Joe Biden and Donald Trump’s background, that the opposite would be true.” Schaller replied that they...

President Biden is narrowly leading former President Trump by 4 points in a new survey of young voters — a key demographic Biden carried in 2020. The Axios-Generation Lab survey of voters under 35 found that 52 percent of respondents would vote for Biden if the election was held today, while 48 percent would back Trump.

More than 400 non-citizens have been removed from the voter rolls of two Arizona counties since 2015, with most of the removed Pima County registrants being registered to vote through third parties. Arizona’s most populous counties removed non-citizens from their voter rolls after some had already voted in elections. While many in Pima County were registered through political parties and voter registration drives, the more common means across the country are through states' Departments of Motor Vehicles. According to a report by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) released on Tuesday, Pima County has removed 186 non-citizens from its voter...

MSNBC is sounding the alarm that President Biden "has a problem" in Michigan as a group of voters who backed him in 2020 are turning on him ahead of November. On Friday, MSNBC correspondent Yasmin Vossoughian previewed a conversation she had with Michigan Democrats who are overwhelmingly dissatisfied with Biden, specifically over his handling of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

They have committed to voting ‘uncommitted’ in the Michigan primary next...

New York Times headline, Feb. 20: “A Big Opportunity to Define Trump as Unacceptable.” The short item by Times Deputy Opinion Editor Patrick Healy follows up on an unintentionally hilarious focus group session the paper conducted last week, wherein 11 out of 13 voters who supported Joe Biden in 2020 say they now support Trump. Among the switching voters was a man who said he would support Trump even though he believed him to have committed “sexual abuse” and two others who said criminal convictions in any of the charges against him would not change their minds. Healy: “But I...

The gender gap is growing between supporters of President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll of registered voters.

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley appears to already be setting herself up for defeat in Iowa, as she courted New Hampshire voters on Wednesday, telling them that she trusts them to “correct” the results of the Iowa caucuses.

Three years after a mob stormed the Capitol, a third of Republican voters now believe FBI operatives stoked the January 6 attack, according to remarkable new polling. A quarter of U.S. adults believe that statement is 'definitely' or 'probably' true, according to a new Washington Post / University of Maryland poll.

Why are every state’s election rolls so dirty – housing tens of thousands of ineligible voters? The reason is voter rolls are never reconciled against other data. Every U.S. corporation must reconcile its financial statements. Cash flow statements must reconcile with the income statement and balance sheet – transparency comes via comparison with known points of reference. Election voter rolls reconcile against NOTHING! Thus, in every state, there are active voters older than Abraham Lincoln – still voting and registering in recent years. Alabama and Kansas for sure! Working with the Georgia election integrity team for months, Fractal developed an...

President Biden is heading into 2024 with a large coalition of voters leaving him behind, a poll released Monday shows. The USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll indicates the president is trailing former President Donald Trump 37% to 39% due to his inability to hold down the coalition of voters that propelled him to victory in 2020. The 81-year-old incumbent is hemorrhaging support from black voters, young voters and Hispanic voters. Among black voters, Biden’s support has declined to 63%, down from 87% in 2020. He still leads Trump’s 12% support by a yawning margin. Voters under 35 and Hispanic voters have...
