Lucas: Carter’s legacy on election integrity would prompt Democrats to label him ‘Jim Crow 2.0’ today

By Fred Lucas  | Commentary, Daily Signal History remembers Jimmy Carter’s post-presidency more kindly than his presidency for a host of reasons. One could certainly be that as president, Carter didn’t champion election integrity laws–but reforms such as voter ID are nevertheless a lasting part of his legacy.   It was 1977 when a young senator of Carter’s own party–Joe Biden–explained his opposition to a Carter proposal to allow Election Day voter registration. The first-term Delaware Democrat proclaimed, a “reservation I have and one that is apparently shared by some of the top officials within the Department of Justice is that the president’s proposal could lead to a serious increase in vote fraud.” But in 2005, Carter, the 39th president who ...

Inside Team Trump’s big bet on election integrity in 2024 and how it paid off

By Reagan Reese | Daily Caller If the 2020 election taught the Republican National Committee anything, it was that in a new world of drop-boxes and ballot harvesting, they needed to rethink how they play the game. And if the 2024 election proved anything, it was that going big on election integrity and working with third-party groups to turn out votes worked. After 2020, nearly two-thirds of Republicans and Trump voters said they had little faith votes were counted accurately, according to one poll. That year, in the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of election laws were changed and others were completely ignored in key swing states. Thanks to Democrat super lawyer Marc Elias, voters could use ballot drop-boxes, mail-in voting and early voting in states like Pennsylv...

No, Trump’s too-big-to-rig victory doesn’t ‘lay to rest’ election integrity issues

By Logan Washburn | The Federalist Biden and corporate media want Americans to stop caring about election integrity. Advocates say there is still plenty of work to be done. After former President Donald Trump won the election in a landslide, President Joe Biden claimed election integrity is an issue of the past. Election integrity advocates beg to differ. “I hope we can lay to rest the question about the integrity of the American electorate system. It is honest, it is fair and it is transparent. And it can be trusted, win or lose,” Biden said on Nov. 7 according to The Hill.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FEDERALIST
The Case of the Disappearing Ballots

The Case of the Disappearing Ballots

By Wendi Strauch Mahoney, American Thinker Mail-in ballots are on the docket in several ongoing election fraud cases in Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., and Maryland. The lawsuits ask for transparency with regard to contracts with the United States Postal Service (USPS) to transport alleged completed mail-in ballots. The lawsuits hope to get to the bottom of questions about the legitimacy of the ballots, where the ballots are going, and what is being done with them. These cases may settle questions around whether fraudulent ballots are being used in our elections to stuff the ballot box, among other things. In October 2020, thousands of mail-in ballots were allegedly transported across state lines from Bethpage N.Y. to PA. Evidence shows that ballots were loaded on to a truc...

Libertarian Party Sues Colorado Sec. of State Jena Griswold Over BIOS Passwords Scandal

By Brian Lupo , Gateway Pundit This week, The Gateway Pundit reported that Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold’s website had published approximately 600 BIOS passwords for the election equipment in 63 out of 64 counties in Colorado. The illegal exposure of the passwords was first caught in August of this year but believed to have been published as early as June, before the state’s primary election.  And they weren’t removed until late October. Kyle Clark of 9News interviewed Griswold Wednesday evening and questioned her about the severity of the ‘leak’ and the implications of publishing those passwords. Of course, Griswold ducked and dodged the impact of her office’s actions, specifically, the consequences of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters c...

It’s time to hold Griswold accountable

By Heidi Ganahl, Commentary | Rocky Mountain Voice In a troubling development, Colorado’s Secretary of State recently confirmed that critical election system passwords were inadvertently published online, leaving sensitive data exposed for months. This exposure, according to conservative leaders, highlights severe security concerns and a failure of transparency from the Secretary’s office, prompting calls for accountability and an independent investigation. The released passwords, typically reserved for only a small circle of trusted state employees, were accessible to a much broader audience, including county clerks, certain county employees, and third-party vendors. These passwords, particularly for the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), provide access to fundamental system settings...

Davidson: Asking questions about election integrity doesn’t make someone an ‘election denier’

By John Daniel Davidson, Commentary | The Federalist A sensational report in The Wall Street Journal implies that questioning the integrity of our elections is tantamount to domestic terrorism. If Americans have questions and concerns about how our elections are administered and how ballots are tabulated, does that make them “election deniers,” conspiracy theorists, threats to democracy? The Wall Street Journal seems to think so. In a long news report published over the weekend headlined, “‘It Feels Very Dystopian.’ Republican County Officials Brace for Election Deniers—Again,” the Journal repeatedly characterized those who think the 2020 election was stolen, rigged, or less-than-secure as “election deniers,” and stopped just short of calling them domestic terrorists.&nb...

Peters convicted on seven counts in election integrity trial

By Brian Porter | Rocky Mountain Voice Viewed as a patriot by many on the right concerned with election security and integrity, former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters was convicted Monday on numerous counts related to a breakdown of her county’s election computer system in 2020. Peters was convicted of three counts of attempting to influence a public servant, one count of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, first-degree official misconduct, violation of duty and failing to comply with the secretary of state. Central to the case, Peters faced accusations she had used another person's security badge and her position to provide access to an expert related to MyPillow's Mike Lindell to the election system. Lindell also had questioned the validity of election results nationally....

Cooper: The media doesn’t do their job, so you must to get real election answers

By BOB COOPER | Guest Columnist, Rocky Mountain Voice Polling shows more than 55% of voters believe the voting system in the United States is problematic: a huge concern for a republic. What is fueling this? Elected officials who openly crush any form of transparency and block investigations, and a news media that does not question or investigate anything related to election claims.   Across the country, we see and hear a repeated theme of “gold standard” elections, yet elected officials controlling voting systems provide evidence to the contrary.  Did you know verifying election systems is not the role of law enforcement, but of citizens?  Elected officials and election officers should insist on transparency in all cases and commit to providing citizens with c...
