Are UK Labor Party and Harris Campaign Headed for Legal Jeopardy?

Estimated Reading Time: 3 minutes

Editors’ Note:  Two UK newspapers, The Telegraph and Daily Mail confirm Labor Party officials have been dispatched to the US to interfere in our elections. We wonder why this is not getting greater attention. The United Kingdom’s Labor Party and Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign may be marching into the same legal jeopardy as the Australian Labor […]

The DOJ Is Wrong: Federal Law Doesn’t Prevent States From Removing Aliens From Voter Rolls

Estimated Reading Time: 4 minutes

The Biden-Harris Justice Department is wrong in claiming that federal law bars Virginia and other states from removing aliens from their voter rolls. And if the law DOJ cites is misinterpreted by a court to agree with the agency’s erroneous claim, then the law likely would be unconstitutional.

Unrigging Our Elections

Estimated Reading Time: 4 minutes

Just days after the shocking news of a second assassination attempt against Donald Trump, early voting started all over the country. Absentee mail-in ballots are already going out to registered voters. After all the controversies about the outcome of the 2020 election, the question naturally arises: what is the state of election integrity across the United States, and how secure will the 2024 election be? While we are generally in better shape nationally than we were last time, much depends on what state you live and vote in.

Another Study Refutes Left’s False Claims Against Voter ID and Secure Elections

Estimated Reading Time: 3 minutes

Trust the science, we’ve all been told. Well, the science has spoken again: Voter ID laws aren’t discriminatory and don’t suppress anyone’s vote. For years, liberals have peddled fabricated claims about voter ID requirements, asserting that they give an advantage to the Republican Party by “discriminating against African Americans” and suppressing their vote. They pooh-pooh […]

What the Arizona Audit Really Shows—and Why Election Officials Should Be Embarrassed

Estimated Reading Time: 4 minutes

Critics of the forensic audit of Maricopa County, Arizona—including local election officials and many reporters—who are crowing that the audit confirms that President Joe Biden won the election in Arizona, either don’t understand the purpose of an audit or are trying to deliberately obscure the most worrying findings in the audit. In fact, by concentrating […]
