The Left Doesn’t Want Democracy. It Wants to Stage-Manage ‘Democracy.’

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) dealt a body blow to a voter identification ballot measure by rewriting the description after it received enough signatures to make the ballot. According to the measure’s new title in a draft voter guide released last week, Proposition 39 “prohibits citizens from voting unless they present government-issued identification.” It takes real determination to make an 80-20 issue sound so terrible.

California Proposition 39 is a standard voter ID measure, which would require voters to produce a government ID every time they cast a ballot or to provide the last four digits of the ID number if voting by mail. Reportedly, the proposition requires any government ID, not specifically a photo ID.

One duty of the California attorney general’s office is to write a title and summary for a proposed ballot measure. The attorney general’s office originally titled Proposition 39, “Establishes Additional Voter Identification and Citizenship Verification Requirements.”

“When Rob Bonta didn’t think we could get the signatures on Prop. 39, he provided a relatively fair ballot title,” said Assemblyman Carl DeMaio (R), the measure’s sponsor.

However, it seems that even Californians are less open to noncitizens diluting their votes than the leftist fringe would like to believe. Before the deadline, Proposition 39 collected more than 1.3 million signatures under Bonta’s original title, so that the measure qualified for the ballot.

That set alarm bells ringing in Sacramento. In 2024, the City of Huntington Beach approved a voter ID ballot measure for voting in local elections beginning in 2026. Shortly thereafter, the state government enacted a law prohibiting local governments from implementing voter ID measures. If Proposition 39 passed, it would be a rebuke to the entire progressive supermajority that has kept California elections unguarded in spite of public support for commonsense security measures like requiring voter ID.

In a matter of weeks, Bonta’s office created new language for Proposition 39, which made it sound much less desirable. The new title of the measure says it “Prohibits citizens from voting unless they present government-issued identification,” when its real aim is to prohibit noncitizens from voting. It further puts the entire description in negative terms. “Invalidates mail ballots that do not have last four digits of designated government-issued identification number written on envelope. Prohibits in-person voting without presenting government-issued identification.”

DeMaio slammed the new language as “a biased and dishonest” title with “pejorative, argumentative phrasing,” accusing Bonta of “rigging the election.”

Bonta has taken flak for writing slanted titles for ballot measures before. In 2025, Bonta informed California voters that a blatant gerrymander to eliminate five Republican districts “authorizes temporary changes to congressional district maps in response to Texas’ partisan redistricting.”

A fundamental weakness in ballot measures is that voters often do not see the full text on which they are voting, or the legal jargon it entails is hardly comprehensible to the ordinary voter. Thus, simplified titles and descriptions of ballot measures can play a significant role in determining whether the measures succeed or fail.

Progressives have often turned this fact to their advantage by manipulating voters with skewed descriptions for ballot measures, enabling them to sneak undesirable policies into state laws and constitutions, because voters did not really know what they were voting for.

For instance, in the 2024 election, the first full cycle after Roe v. Wade was overturned, pro-abortion activists placed pro-abortion initiatives on the ballot in 10 different states. Almost all of these passed, even in red states with pro-life laws. But opponents argued that the language for many of the ballot measures was “deceptive.” For instance, the pro-abortion ballot measure in Missouri also included an attack on parental rights and some recognition for gender transition procedures.

In 2026, Virginia Democrats proposed a similar ballot measure to place a right to abortion in the state constitution. However, the move drew a lawsuit from the Founding Freedoms Law Center (FFLC), alleging that it “completely fails to inform the voters that the proposed amendment, due to its overwhelming breadth, would overturn many significant aspects of Virginia regulatory authority.” Among other things, the lawsuit alleged, the amendment would terminate parental consent and notification requirements for minors seeking abortion or sterilization, facilitate the rape of minors, and potentially allow non-licensed, non-medical professionals to commit abortions.

American progressives pay loud, frequent homage to the idea of “democracy,” usually defined as Jean-Jacques Rousseau defined it — as the will of a majority of voters. They therefore fully endorse ballot measures, referenda, and other legislation-by-election as the most direct expression of their ideal vision of democracy.

However, the frequency with which some progressives thumb the scales on such ballot referenda suggests that they have ideals higher than democracy. Progressives fear that voters will choose the options progressives disfavor, such as when they elected Donald Trump to the presidency in 2024. Thus, they put their thumb on the scale of ballot measures with deceptive language, manipulating voters into choosing the “right” option.

Progressives don’t want real democracy, where the people choose freely and without hindrance. They want a stage-managed “democracy.” They want a system in which they provide the signals, and voters follow their lead. Progressives have an aesthetic preference for popular election, because they want to believe that they are fighting “for the people.” But, too often, when push comes to shove, progressives reveal that they will implement their preferred policies by any means necessary, even if “the people” are not ready to go along without a nudge.

Voter ID, Citizenship Verification Measures Head to Ballots Across America

/in , , , , , , , , , , , /by

As Congress struggles to pass the SAVE America Act, voters in states across the nation will decide this November on election procedures such as photo ID requirements, citizenship verification, and other election security matters.

Two states feature ballot initiatives with both voter ID requirements and calls for some form of citizenship verification and voter list maintenance. California, the largest state in the nation, has Proposition 39. The battleground state of Arizona has Proposition 144.

Also, voters in the swing states of Nevada, North Carolina, and the one-time battleground of Ohio will decide on voter ID in November. Voters in solidly red Oklahoma will consider adopting a voter ID requirement in an Aug. 25 election.

Citizen-initiated voter ID ballot measures are pending in Colorado and Michigan.

This week in California, Attorney General Rob Bonta changed the language of a voter ID ballot measure.

The language submitted by supporters stated, “Establishes additional voter identification and citizenship verification requirements.” The attorney general’s office altered the language to read, “Prohibits citizens from voting unless they present government-issued identification.”

“If California passes voter ID, it would be a huge win for three reasons. First, getting this initiative on the ballot in the first place shows that Californians are fed up with the election chaos forced on them year after year by far-left politicians who only seem interested in making a fundamentally broken system even worse,” Jason Snead, executive director of the Honest Elections Project, told the Daily Signal.

“Second, if this measure passes despite the blatant attempt by California’s attorney general to rig the ballot language and mislead the public into voting it down, it would prove just how commonsense voter ID is,” Snead said. “And third, a victory on this measure would finally bring the most basic protections to California’s elections—safeguards California politicians have actually tried to outlaw.”

A Bonta spokesperson defended the language change.

“When a measure qualifies for the ballot, the Attorney General’s office is required to issue a ballot title and summary and a condensed ballot title and summary,” Bonta’s spokesperson told the Daily Signal in an email.

The spokesperson added, “It is not uncommon for the ballot title and summary to change from the circulating version—and this year, all nine voter-proposed initiatives had changes. Our office properly exercised its discretion to provide further clarity to voters about Prop. 39’s chief purpose and points for the ballot stage.”

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security recently determined that as many as 190,832 noncitizens were registered to vote in California.

Another six states will decide on ballot measures related to citizenship requirements for voting. These states are Alaska, Arkansas, Kansas, South Dakota, and West Virginia. Meanwhile, in Arizona, a proposed constitutional amendment states that only citizens may register to vote.

Municipalities and counties in California, Maryland, and Vermont, as well as the District of Columbia, allow noncitizens to vote in local elections. This type of measure would prevent that local option.

Voters have approved both state voter ID and citizenship requirements in recent years.

From 2018 to 2025, voters have approved 15 state measures providing that only citizens could vote. None of the measures failed, according to Ballotpedia.

“Citizenship verification has never lost at the ballot,” Ryan Byrne, Ballotpedia’s Ballots Team managing editor, told the Daily Signal. “I believe the lowest vote total it gained was in Kentucky, with 62%. The highest was in South Carolina with over 80%.”

Voter ID laws—despite widespread support in most polls—have been less fortunate at the polls, as three out of 12 measures between 2004 and 2024 were defeated.

Voters in Minnesota, Arizona, and Maine defeated the ballot measures, Byrne said. However, he added, this typically occurred when the measures added something beyond just ID. Notably, the Maine proposal in 2025 also had ballot drop box restrictions.

He noted that historically, progressives have pushed citizen-initiated ballot initiatives for election procedures, but this year, about 70% of the ballot initiatives on election administration were introduced by conservatives.

States are weighing other election-related matters as well. Virginia voters will consider a measure to automatically restore voting rights to felons upon release from prison.

Massachusetts voters will consider a top-two primary system to replace the party primary system. This would be similar to California’s process, where the top two vote-getters in a primary—regardless of party affiliation—advance to the general election. The Bay State also has a measure to allow Election Day voter registration.

Alaskans are also considering repealing their controversial ranked-choice voting system, which allows voters to rank their top four preferred candidates. If no candidate gets 50% of the vote in the first round of counting, one candidate is eliminated, and counting continues with the voter’s second or third option.

California—in addition to its voter ID measure—is also considering measures to allow taxpayer-funded financing of state campaigns.

Trump, GOP Sens Lash Out at Thune for Placing Six-Week Recess Over SAVE America Act

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Several prominent Senate Republicans have joined President Donald Trump in pressuring Senate Majority Leader John Thune to cancel the Senate’s August recess to pass the SAVE America Act, the voter-integrity legislation championed by the president.

The legislation aims to prevent noncitizens from voting.

As of Monday morning, Sens. Ashley Moody, R-Fla., Rick Scott, R-Fla., Mike Lee, R-Utah, Jim Banks, R-Ind., John Kennedy, R-La., and Ron Johnson, R-Wis., have come out in favor of passing the legislation before recess.

Banks stated that after New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill announced that more than 6,600 noncitizens had been accidentally registered to vote, there has been a new push among Republicans to enact the legislation.

Last week, Sherrill blamed a “software error” in her state’s Motor Vehicle Commission computer system for noncitizens being added to the voter rolls. However, the company that handles the software denied the error, claiming the state government was responsible for voter registration.

Banks’ colleagues echoed his remarks, calling on Thune to cancel the August recess.

“I hereby object to any effort to put the Senate into recess in August—at least until such time as the Senate has passed the SAVE America Act—and hereby request a roll call vote,” Lee wrote on Sunday.

“Do not assume you have my consent,” Lee added, referring to a possible effort to adjourn the Senate for the month of August. “You do not.”

“The Senate doesn’t need a summer vacation as much as the country needs the SAVE America Act,” Lee wrote on X on Sunday. “Let’s cancel recess.”

Scott responded to his colleague’s remarks and wrote that “the American people expect us to deliver. They deserve secure elections.”

Over the weekend, Kennedy also took aim at Thune during an appearance on CBS, calling on the majority leader to delay the August recess.

“Take a few extra days [before recess]! I mean no disrespect to John Thune… but I think he’s just being too cautious! He wants to spend the rest of our time talking with [Chuck] Schumer about shutting down the government,” Kennedy said. “The Graham Platner wing of his party is not going to let Schumer agree with us.”

On Monday, President Donald Trump demanded on Truth Social that Thune not allow the Senate to go on break until the legislation is passed.

“John Thune should not allow the Senate to ‘leave town’ until it passes the SAVE America Act, or, far better, TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, where Republicans can quickly pass everything they’ve ever dreamed of, including a full and deep-throated SAVE America Act, the budget, the ever-looming debt-ceiling disaster 1929!,” the president wrote.

In the lower chamber, conservative members of Congress are furious over the leader’s inability to pass the voter-integrity legislation.

Over the weekend, Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., put out a poll on social media that asked if Thune should resign as majority leader if he doesn’t pass the legislation before the August recess.

Ninety-seven-point-six percent of respondents voted yes.

His fellow Freedom Caucus colleague, Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., blamed Senate leadership for “not even trying” to pass the bill.

“We’ve now passed the SAVE America Act five times,” Fine wrote on X on Friday. “The Senate has passed it zero times. If they were fighting for it, fine. But they’re not even trying.”

“That’s the problem,” he concluded.

As of now, the Senate will begin its recess after Aug. 7 and return in September.

EXCLUSIVE: GOP Leaders Circulate Talking Points To Quash SAVE America Act Revolt

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Senate GOP leaders are circulating talking points aimed at quashing the internal revolt over the SAVE America Act, according to a document obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller.

The document outlines potential questions from the media and offers guidance for members’ responses on several topics, including the GOP’s marquee election-integrity legislation, the SAVE America Act. The document, created by the Senate Republican Conference (SRC), is titled “Conference Prep.”

Senate Republican “Conference Prep” by ashley

The prep document includes a hypothetical question a member could face: “President Trump is calling for Leader Thune to keep the Senate in session in August to pass the SAVE America Act. Do you agree?”

The suggested response states: “I want to pass the SAVE America Act just as much as the President, but we don’t have the votes to pass the SAVE America Act or eliminate the filibuster. If staying in session will somehow change that outcome, then I’m all for it.”

It continues: “But I don’t think staying in session will make more votes appear. We are not going to get a single Democrat to vote for the SAVE America Act no matter how long we are in session. And we have work to do at home to make sure that we beat the Democrats in November.”

One Republican staffer familiar with the document said it sends the message that Senate Republicans support the legislation — but with a caveat.

“The message seems to be that Republicans support the SAVE America Act but are willing to change absolutely nothing, sacrifice no vacations, and threaten no committee seats to move it forward,” the staffer wrote to the Caller. “A strategy that relies on Democrats suddenly doing the right thing is not a strategy.”

The Caller reached out to Senate Republican Conference Chairman Tom Cotton of Arkansas to confirm the document’s authenticity but did not receive a response in time for publication.

The document also addresses the recent public tension between White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and Thune following her remarks last Thursday that Trump’s patience was running out with the Senate leader over his handling of the president’s legislative priorities. Leavitt told Daily Caller White House Correspondent Reagan Reese that Trump wanted to “see as much of the SAVE America Act passed as possible by the August recess.”

The document instructs conference members to push back on the idea of a rift between Trump and Thune, emphasizing that the two Republican leaders are “united” and working together to advance the president’s agenda.

“President Trump and Senator Thune are united and doing an excellent job delivering safety and prosperity for Americans, despite unprecedented Democrat obstruction,” the document states.

The talking points highlight Trump and Thune’s cooperation on issues including affordability, border security, and national security. They point to efforts such as ending taxes on tips, eliminating income taxes on Social Security benefits, strengthening the military, securing the border, deporting violent criminals through measures such as the Laken Riley Act, and cracking down on fentanyl trafficking.

The document also addresses calls from some conservatives to eliminate the Senate filibuster to advance legislation, arguing that Republicans must remain focused on defeating “radical Democrat socialists” rather than changing Senate rules.

The memo instructs senators to argue that eliminating the filibuster would be a long-term mistake that could allow future Democratic majorities to expand federal power, add new states, pack the Supreme Court, and pass their broader agenda.

Asked whether Democrats would eliminate the filibuster anyway, the talking points say Republicans should not give them the opportunity or political cover to do so. Conference leaders instead advise Republican senators to argue that if Democrats choose to eliminate the filibuster, they should own the consequences with voters.

The messaging suggests the party should continue working together to advance Trump’s agenda despite disagreements over legislative strategy.

On Monday, Trump once again called on Thune to advance the GOP election-integrity legislation in a Truth Social post.

“John Thune should not allow the United States Senate to ‘leave town’ until it passes The Save America Act or, far better still, TERMINATES THE FILIBUSTER…” Trump wrote.

The Caller reached out to Thune for comment but did not receive a response.

Senator Mike Lee Blocks Senate Recess: No Vacation Until SAVE America Act Gets a Vote

/in , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Senator Mike Lee formally stated on X that he will object to any unanimous consent request or effort by Majority Leader John Thune to put the Senate into an August recess until the SAVE America Act is passed, requesting a recorded roll-call vote.

Background and Conflict:

  • The Demand: Lee and Senator Rick Scott are pushing to cancel or delay the August break, arguing that the Senate should stay in continuous session to pass the election security legislation.
  • The Leadership Stance: Leader Thune has maintained that the chamber lacks the 60 votes required to overcome a Democratic filibuster and does not have the numbers to change Senate rules, creating friction with conservative members and the White House.
  • The Legislation: The SAVE America Act proposes mandatory photo ID at polls and direct proof of U.S. citizenship to register for federal elections.

Trump Shares Warren Clip to Push SAVE America Act on Voter Verification

The post on Truth Social urges passage of the SAVE America Act, which requires proof of citizenship like a passport or birth certificate for federal voter registration and photo ID at polls. It follows New Jersey data showing 75,000 noncitizens summoned for jury duty each year from state databases, though courts confirm safeguards keep them from serving, and a recent glitch added 6,600 to voter rolls with few voting. Similar concerns arose in Pennsylvania, with conservatives like Sen. Mike Lee demanding action amid House passage and Senate pushes, while critics argue it burdens citizens without easy access to documents.

If 278,000 Republicans were illegally registered to vote the Democrats would be burning down cities.

The U.S. Department of Justice, led by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, obtained full voter registration data from 20 states, revealing widespread issues with ineligible voters. The department sued nearly 30 states and D.C. for non-compliance with federal laws requiring accurate rolls, while launching a probe into New Jersey after about 6,600 non-citizens were erroneously registered due to a disputed software error. Adopting a strict enforcement approach, Dhillon sent warning letters to officials and supports measures like the SAVE America Act for proof of citizenship, amid public support for voter ID shown in a Fox News poll where 77% favor it for voting.

What to know about the Trump administration’s claim that 250K noncitizens are registered to vote in 4 states

By Melissa Quinn

Washington — Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin on Friday continued to amplify President Trump’s assertion that more than a quarter of a million noncitizens were registered to vote in four states, though the administration has yet to provide details of how it arrived at that figure.

In a news conference following Mr. Trump’s address to the nation Thursday that focused on election security, Mullin said the alleged 250,000 noncitizens that it believes were registered to vote were in California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Nevada. Those four states have not complied with the Trump administration’s demands to provide voter data to the federal government.

In 23 states that are working with the Trump administration and ran their voter records through an overhauled centralized federal database, Mullin said an additional 28,000 noncitizens were registered to vote.

But CBS News found that the claims from Mr. Trump and Mullin about the prevalence of noncitizens registering to vote could be exaggerated.

The estimate that there are 250,000 noncitizen registered voters across four states was based on an analysis of commercial databases, a White House official told reporters Thursday. That method is likely to lead to false positives, significantly overestimating the number of potential noncitizens on voter rolls, David Becker, executive director and founder of the Center for Election Innovation and Research, said during a CBS News special report Thursday.

“I guarantee you, that data includes a ton of people, maybe even a majority of people, who are absolutely eligible voters, and states would probably be breaking the law if they remove those voters from the rolls,” Becker said.

[ … ]

Mr. Trump has signed two executive orders that would tighten the rules for mail-in ballots and require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections, among other requirements, though they have been blocked by the courts. And the Justice Department is suing dozens of states to hand over their voter rolls. The president has also been pressuring Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, which would require Americans to show a photo ID to cast a ballot and present proof of citizenship in person to register to vote.

His election security-focused speech comes months before the November midterm elections, which will determine whether Republicans maintain their control of the House and Senate.

Election integrity, fairness, fraud are all still very active discussions across America since the discovery in November 2020 that very serious violations of election integrity were discovered.

My guest on this episode is Arizona State Senator Mark Finchem who also is the Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Election Fairness Institute.

Our conversation is to continue and expose serious issues with our elections, as well as why the Elites do not want Donald Trump around anymore, actually, they never did want him around but thought they had it taken care of in November 2020.

As Noncitizens Continue to Populate Voter Rolls, Experts Wonder If It’s a ‘Glitch’

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

After reports emerged Tuesday that hundreds of noncitizens illegally voted in elections and thousands more were improperly registered to vote in New Jersey, experts say that Democratic officials in the state are continuing an alarming pattern of nationwide apathy and purposeful negligence in the Democratic Party toward securing voter rolls and maintaining election integrity.

New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill (D) acknowledged Tuesday that 6,600 noncitizens were improperly allowed to register to vote at Motor Vehicle Commission locations in the state. The governor further stated that “fewer than 400” of those individuals actually voted in elections.

Sherrill immediately blamed her predecessor, Democratic Governor Phil Murphy, for allowing the registrations to occur and stated that she was “appalled by the reckless failures that allowed this to happen.” She further blamed the state’s software vendor that handles the registrations, saying that she will replace the vendor and has ordered the removal of names that were improperly registered to vote.

But on Wednesday, the French technology firm IDEMIA that handled the registrations pushed back against Sherrill’s claim, stating that the supposed “glitch” that allowed the noncitizens to appear on voter rolls was not due to incorrect information. “The 6,600 records submitted to the [Motor Vehicle Commission] and Division of Elections contained correct information according to the design specifications as set out by the state,” IDEMIA spokesperson Lisa Shoemaker told the New York Post. She went on to note that “at no point was a noncitizen ever marked as a citizen in the database” and that the company “does not control or manage voter enrollment.”

Experts like J. Christian Adams, who serves as president of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, say that noncitizens being included on voter rolls is a multi-state problem that has been occurring for some time because of a simple loophole that has yet to be resolved.

“When you register to vote at motor voter sites like DMV … oftentimes, people want to hurry, and they hit the screen — they hit ‘Yes,’ they hit ‘No.’ But there’s a big question. It says, ‘Are you a U.S. citizen?’ What happened in New Jersey was people were marking, ‘No, I’m not a U.S. citizen,’ but New Jersey is still putting them on the voter rolls,” he explained during “Washington Watch with Tony Perkins” Wednesday. “… The exact same thing happened in Pennsylvania. We uncovered this a decade ago. Pennsylvania admitted to it.”

The issue has the full attention of the Trump administration. Last week, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin sent a letter to the secretaries of state in four states warning them that tens of thousands of noncitizens are improperly registered on their voter rolls. “Through preliminary reviews of the four states’ records, DHS found that there may be as many as: 190,832 non-citizens registered to vote in California[;] 35,152 non-citizens registered to vote in New Jersey[;] 15,903 non-citizens registered to vote in Nevada[; and] 14,576 non-citizens registered to vote in Pennsylvania,” a press release stated. Mullin called on the secretaries to respond within two weeks to address the issue.

Despite the irrefutable data, many Democratic officials like Sherrill are insisting that illegitimate voter registrations are a minor issue that does not affect the outcome of elections. In an apparent effort to downplay the issue, she stated that the noncitizens in New Jersey were registered as Democrats, Republicans, and unaffiliated and were “scattered across the state.”

But as Family Research Council President Tony Perkins pointed out, “[T]here [are] at least 10 New Jersey elections that have been decided by 25 votes or fewer since June of 2023.”

“[S]ome New Jersey votes were tied,” Adams added. “The Public Interest Legal Foundation has a tied election database [with] almost 900 elections around the country that ended in a tie. So it really matters. Look, this is a retreat position that the governor is using now, because before this was discovered, it was like, ‘There’s no problem with noncitizens on the voter rolls.’ It’s what always happens here. The Left always has to keep retreating and com[ing] up with a new story. And now the new story is, ‘Oh, well, we don’t think it made a difference.’ Yeah, okay. In another era, everybody would be mad about 6,000 noncitizens on the voter rolls. They wouldn’t be making excuses, they’d be making fixes.”

Adams went on to highlight how Democratic officials in states like Pennsylvania have attempted to cover up the fact that noncitizens have been showing up on their voter rolls. “In Pennsylvania, the Public Interest Legal Foundation had to sue Pennsylvania because they admitted they had tens of thousands of noncitizens because of the same exact sort of glitch. And Pennsylvania played hide the ball. Pennsylvania didn’t want to come clean about what they did to cause the problem, what they did to fix the problem. And really, nobody has ever [been] held accountable in Harrisburg. Now it’s Trenton, now it’s New Jersey.”

Adams further argued that the ineptitude “doesn’t mean it’s a conspiracy, but it’s something we all ought to want to fix. … What’s happening instead is incompetence, glitches, stupidity, government bureaucrats, apathy.”

Still, Perkins contended that there are some on the Left who want noncitizens voting. “I think there are some places [where] there’s an incentive to do this because they can shift elections the way they want them to go.”

Adams concurred. “That’s why people like Representative Jamie Raskin from Maryland are totally proud and loud that they want noncitizens voting, so this is no longer a fringe position.”

‘Completely Unacceptable’: Karoline Leavitt’s Message to New Jersey After Noncitizen Voters Exposed

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

After New Jersey Democrat Gov. Mikie Sherrill revealed that 6,600 noncitizens were accidentally registered to vote in the Garden State, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt urged Congress to pass the SAVE America Act to prevent such instances from occurring in the future.

“It is completely unacceptable to have noncitizens on American voter rolls voting in U.S. elections, and she says at 6,600—we suspect it’s a heck of a lot more, not just in New Jersey, but in states across the country,” Leavitt said in response to a question from the Daily Signal.

“The president is hell-bent on getting to the bottom of this,” she added, “and it’s also why we need to pass the SAVE America Act to ensure that only U.S. citizens are voting in U.S. elections.”

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and a photo ID to vote.

Sherrill said Tuesday that more than 6,000 noncitizens were mistakenly added to New Jersey’s voter registration rolls between June 2023 and June 2024. Roughly 400 of those noncitizens voted.

Leavitt said it’s “no coincidence” that Sherrill “all of a sudden decided to put out a press release saying President Trump and Republicans have been right about noncitizens on our voter rolls.”

“I think this governor is saying this because she realizes this administration is serious about getting to the bottom of illegal aliens voting and being on our voting voter rolls in our country,” Leavitt said.

Sherrill’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Signal.

Last week, Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin sent letters to election officials in four states, including New Jersey, warning them about noncitizens on their voter rolls.

“That’s why all of a sudden she is speaking the truth about the fact that this does take place in states across the country,” Leavitt said.

Leavitt praised the House for passing the budget resolution on Wednesday, which included “as much of the SAVE America Act as possible.” The $95 billion framework would provide new spending for the military, intelligence, and agriculture and included provisions of the SAVE America Act.

“We encourage the Senate to move forward with passing that resolution into law, so the president can sign it into law by the August recess,” Leavitt said. “It’s of the utmost importance to this president, but also to the American people who support this bill overwhelmingly.”

House GOP Defies Democrats, Advances Filibuster-Proof War Funding and SAVE Act Election Reforms

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

The vote on the reconciliation package was preliminary, but it demonstrated the ability to get the package over the finish line with a vote of the full chamber. The vote was 216-214 (Sortor).

What Is John Thune Doing?

New York Times: The defense bill will provide filibuster-proof funding for defense—especially critical as there is a potential of Republicans losing control of one or both chambers. New York Times: House Republicans on Wednesday won narrow approval of their $95 billion budget plan to fund the war with Iran and impose new election restrictions President Trump has demanded, muscling through dissent in their ranks to send the measure to a skeptical Senate. The blueprint would pave the way for filibuster-proof legislation known as a reconciliation bill that would bypass Democratic opposition and provide up to $73 billion in additional military fundings.

Wall Street Journal makes an important point: In a saner Washington, a bill to keep America’s military in fuel during combat would pass with unanimous consent. But Democrats are willing to cut off the troops even as U.S. forces strike Iran almost nightly. The clerics in Iran understand that U.S. Congressional dysfunction is one of their wartime assets.

Portions of SAVE America Act Included in Reconciliation Package

Fox News: House Republicans are working to move the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act as part of a larger $95 billion budget bill that, if successful, would completely sideline Democrats to implement election reforms sought by President Donald Trump. They’re using a mechanism called budget reconciliation, which allows the party in power to pass sweeping fiscal policy by lowering the Senate’s threshold for advancement from 60 votes to a simple majority. In exchange, however, the legislation is subject to intense scrutiny under a strict set of guidelines about what actually counts as true fiscal policy. The bill up for consideration on Wednesday was just the first House-wide step in passing a reconciliation package, which is adopting a framework with spending instructions for relevant committees who will then cobble individual portions together into a massive piece of legislation. Both the House and Senate must pass identical versions before it goes to the president’s desk. All but three members of the House Republican Conference supported the measure: Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, and Kevin Kiley, I-Calif., voted against it….  Trump posted on Truth Social on Tuesday, “Thank you to all of the House Republicans who are supporting the first step towards getting as much of THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, as possible, in the Budget Bill, and to our Great Speaker, Mike Johnson. I am asking all House Republicans to VOTE YES on this very important Budget Resolution.

Software vendor says NJ knew 6,600 non citizens registered to vote — and approved them anyway

/in , , , , , , , /by

WASHINGTON — The software company that New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill blamed for 6,600 noncitizens getting put onto the voter rolls insists that local officials were responsible for illegally registering the immigrants. Sherrill (D) claimed Tuesday that a “serious software error” in the state’s Motor Vehicle System involving French tech company IDEMIA caused the mishap, which led to some 400 noncitizens voting.

But IDEMIA said that the state had access to data showing that those individuals were not citizens — but apparently registered them to vote anyway. The problem came from software that the NJ Motor Vehicle Commission used to register people to vote when they signed up for a New Jersey ID — a similar practice employed in dozens of states. “The 6,600 records submitted to the [Motor Vehicle Commission] and Division of Elections contained correct information according to the design specifications as set out by the state,” Lisa Shoemaker, a spokesperson for IDEMIA, told The Post on Wednesday. “All 6,600 individuals indicated ‘Yes’ to wanting to register to vote and ‘NO’ to being a US Citizen,” she added. “This information was recorded correctly and always available.”

IDEMIA’s claims raise questions about why voter registration data submitted during applications for drivers’ licenses or identification wasn’t properly screened by New Jersey. It’s not clear whether New Jersey had any safeguards in place for people who made mistakes — or situations where people lied about being citizens. A New Jersey state official disputed IDEMIA’s claims. “No, that is not correct,” the official told The Post. “Anytime somebody answers ‘no’ to the citizenship question, that record should not be transmitted to the Division of Elections.”

The debacle took place under Sherrill’s predecessor, former Gov. Phil Murphy (D). She announced Tuesday that the state has hired an outside group, CSG, to investigate the matter. “IDEMIA does not control or manage voter enrollment, our role is simply to collect self-reported citizenship and interest data,” Shoemaker explained. “This leads to more questions – if the Division of Elections had missing information which is required to register in the State of New Jersey, did the Division of Elections approve these individuals be added to the Voter Rolls.”

Shoemaker said that IDEMIA believes the data sent over to the Division of Elections also missed key information such as party affiliation. President Trump and his allies have pointed to the New Jersey scandal as a case in point for why more robust guardrails are needed to protect election integrity. For months, Trump has been championing the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, which would require proof of citizenship to vote, among other measures.

Shortly after Sherrill’s stunning announcement about the 6,600 non-citizens in New Jersey getting registered to vote, the Justice Department demanded the governor fork over key data, including the names of the people who were erroneously added to the voter rolls.

The DOJ also cited the debacle in a filing for its ongoing lawsuit against the Garden State seeking access to its voter roll data. “The Trump administration has a long history of weaponizing the Justice Department for political purposes and attempting to overturn election results,” Sean Higgins, a spokesperson for Sherrill, told The Post.

2020 ELECTION SHOCKER: FBI Documented Voter Fraud — Biden DOJ Shut it Down

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Declassified memos reveal FBI’s struggle to prosecute possible Michigan voter registration fraud. Without follow up and prosecutions, it is meaningless.

Memos reveal FBI faced roadblocks to prosecute possible 2020 Michigan voter registration fraud

By: Just The News, July 19, 2026:

The FBI collected witness interviews alleging voter registration fraud in Michigan in 2020. Newly-disclosed documents show the case was delayed, and ultimately “killed” by the Biden administration.

Contained in the trove of election-related documents President Donald Trump released to the public on Thursday are the FBI’s investigative files and communications about a possible voter registration fraud scheme in Muskegon, Mich., that ended without prosecution.

In 2020, the Muskegon Police Department and Michigan State Police identified a possible voter registration fraud scheme centered on a firm called GBI Strategies.

It prompted an investigation after which the materials were turned over to the FBI, according to the dozens of pages of police reports from the Michigan agencies reviewed by Just the News in 2023.

“Pay, play, and cheat”

The declassified files show, for the first time, how the FBI conducted its investigation into the allegations and provide new details about what became of the probe.

“The documents state that some canvassers admitted to FBI agents that they signed voter registration forms in other people’s names, submitted fraudulent registration for people who did not exist, and received gift cards tied to their number of applications that they produced,” President Trump said on Thursday. “In other words, it was pay, play, and cheat.” The president said he is asking the FBI Director to reopen the probe to ensure that the matter is fully investigated and accused the Biden Justice Department of slow walking the probe.

The Muskegon Police Department began investigating GBI Strategies after the Muskegon City Clerk’s Office reported suspected voter registration fraud, according to a police report dated Oct. 16, 2020, which Just the News obtained from a FOIA request in 2023. The Muskegon Police Department, alongside the Michigan State Police, found that some of the registration forms included biographical information that did not match to real people or addresses that did not exist.

Michigan’s Attorney General eventually referred the probe to the FBI because of its national jurisdiction, Just the News reported.

But, what the FBI did with the information remained a mystery. In September 2023, the FBI denied a Freedom of Information Act request from Just the News seeking its investigative files into the suspected fraud, citing an exemption in that law regarding ongoing investigations.

The now-public documents show that the FBI team in Detroit conducted several interviews with canvassers who registered people to vote as part of the campaign organized by GBI Strategies. Many told investigators directly that they were told to fill out false information or that they believed it was likely that others were doing so, according to the FBI-302 memos made public by the White House.

FBI-302s are forms used by the bureau to summarize interviews taken during an investigation.

One canvasser alleged that the local company leadership directed employees to fill in fake information in order to complete more applications.

“[Name redacted] told all of the employees that if they couldn’t get enough applications, they should just fill them in,” according to one FBI-302 of a canvasser. “One of the employees asked what this person meant […] whichever [person] it was picked up a blank application and filled it out with made-up information and said, ‘this is what I mean.”

Canvasers told to make up names or use anyone else’s name

Further, the employee alleged the leadership said “to put any number she could think of for the social security number, but not to use her own social security number or date of birth” and that “she could make up names or use anyone else’s name.”

“[Redacted] would return to the office at the end of her shift and fill in enough blank sheets with made-up people so that she reached her daily quota,” the FBI-302 said. The individual told investigators that she estimated she submitted “100 fake voter registrations” to the group.

You can read the documents below:

Another canvasser who worked for the company for about a week in 2020 said he “never collected any names,” but would “just sit in his car the whole shift and would put down a name of a friend or relative in order to have something to turn in with his clipboard.”

Critically Thinking about the SAVE Act: Now, more important than ever!

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

This is a guest post by friend Deroy Murdock a Manhattan-based Fox News contributor and a contributing editor with The American Spectator. Here is the original…

Unless Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), secretly works for the Democratic National Committee, he must bring the SAVE America Act back to the floor and move Heaven, Earth, and—if necessary—Hell to pass and speed it to President Donald Trump for signature. The U.S. Supreme Court’s calamitous embrace of late-arriving mail-in ballots makes this urgent matter even more vital.

With sincere apologies to Manfred Mann’s Earth Band: Mama always told me not to look into those mail-in ballots. But Mama, that’s where the fraud is!

Far more than photo ID at the polls, SAVE’s desperately needed limits on mass-mail-in ballots will cripple the Democrats’ election-theft machine. The Left’s vote-fraud apparatus promiscuously blasts mail-in ballots across states and cities (often to voters who have relocated or died), vacuums them in via drop boxes and ballot hustlers, and then delivers them via largely unpoliced and accurately dubbed “ballot dumps.” These magic ballots dribble in for days after polls close. They reliably favor Democrat candidates.

That’s why Republicans’ election night smiles too often turn to frowns as Tuesday evening triumphs fade into Friday afternoon failures.

Atrocious Supreme Court Ruling Makes SAVE America Act Life or Death Choice for GOP
                                                               Source: National Conference of State Legislatures.

Provided, in most cases, that ballots are postmarked by Election Day, the states of Alaska, California, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia receive and count those that arrive after polls close—sometimes ludicrously so.

The National Council of State Legislatures reports that California, New York, and Oregon accept such ballots for up to seven days. Alaska and Maryland: 10 days. Illinois: 14 days. Washington: 21 days. That is three weeks later than “The Tuesday next after the 1st Monday in November, in every even numbered year,” as 2 U.S. Code § 7 has defined Election Day since 1875. In 2026, Washington state will accept mail-in ballots until November 26—two days before Thanksgiving!

But wait. It gets worse.

According to NCSL, in the swing state of Nevada, “Ballots with unclear postmarks received by the third day following the election are deemed to have been postmarked on or before Election Day.” New Jersey is even more loose: “Mail delivered ballots without postmarks that arrive within 48 hours of the close of the polls will be considered valid.”

Inexplicably, SCOTUS splashed holy water on this diabolical mess. States now will be free to continue, and presumably extend, these disgrace periods, thanks to the 5-4 majority opinion by conservative frenemy Justice Amy Coney Barrett (in cahoots with hit-or-miss Chief Justice John Roberts and liberal stalwarts Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, Justice Elena Kagan, and Justice Sonia Sotomayor).

Among other things, these five justices inexplicably argued that “The Constitution thus envisions a system in which receipt of votes is necessarily divorced from voting.”

Huh?

Left unconfronted, Watson v. Republican National Committee will allow just enough pro-Democrat magic ballots to drift in and defeat Republicans in close races.

As Justice Samuel Alito stated in his dissent (joined by conservative justices Neil Gorsuch, Clarence Thomas, and Brett Kavanaugh, but for parts II–C–2 and III), “Today’s decision leaves open opportunities for voter fraud that may further undermine Americans’ faith in the integrity of this country’s elections. Diverse sources have recognized that mail-in ballots increase the potential for fraud.”

Alito added: “In 2005, a committee chaired by former President Jimmy Carter and former Secretary of State James Baker found that absentee voting was ‘the largest source of potential voter fraud’ in American elections.”

The Bottom Line —

Unless Thune wants to spend the next two years trapped in U.S. Senate trials after President Trump’s third, fourth, and fifth impeachments by Hakeem Jeffries’ Democrat House, he needs to hop off his tanning bed, wrap up the slothful Senate’s latest hiatus (an 18-day vacation), and adopt the SAVE America Act.

If he doesn’t, Barrett’s blessed magic ballots will turn Election Night into Ballot Counting Month and smother Republican candidates’ dreams.

The SAVE Act is the shield against what Barrett and the Supreme Court unleashed on June 29: a clear and present danger to America’s next 250 years.

The Trump Administration is a restoring sovereignty administration. After many, many years, God allowed someone to come along much like a Cyrus in the Old Testament to save the Jews from falling over the cliff. Cyrus was not a Jew, did not believe in God, was extremely wealthy and a strong determined leader.

Sound familiar?

Cyrus kept the Jews from annihilation much like Trump was brought forward to keep America from annihilation. We, as a nation, were well on our way to being destroyed. The Globalists that really became of age since the Kennedy Assassination have tirelessly worked to under mind American founding principles and values, our entire form of government (unique in the world), and to bring America into the Global Community as a region along with Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, Cuba ALL as one region in the Global ten region lay-out. NO sovereignty. NO President of the United States. NO Declaration of Independence, etc.

Trump has tripped up the Globalists on multiple occasions, and hence the attempts on his life after the failure of keeping him out of office. The 2020 election was a very sophisticated, multi-national, financially very expensive plot to remove Trump from office not allowing him to return at reelection. It succeeded! But God. I believe, and have so written on multiple occasions, the Lord was not finished with America, and His plan for the world is still unfolding in a most timely manner. Nothing the Lord’s Hand touches is disorganized or listed as a failure. Nothing. What appears to be a setback may well be a setback in the eyes of man but was thought about and approved before the beginning of time, the Lord is the Alpha and Omega (Beginning and End). At times He, I believe, allows man to go about man’s plan even unto failure or multiple failures. Man will either then turn to the Lord for submission (means cooperation with the Lord’s plans) or will stubbornly go down a path of failure(s) and collapse. Either way the outcome shall be in accordance with the Lord’s plan as written and clearly expressed Biblically. Nothing happening in the Mid-East with Iran, etc. is a surprise to the Lord and is laid out in His Word, the Bible. Same be true domestically here in our nation. The politics and subversion by Marxist and Islamic forces is not a surprise to the Lord. He forewarned what would happen if we turned away from Him and the founding principles of this God-ordained nation.

America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles outlined especially in the Old Testament Books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy. The church rarely teaches about our founding biblical principles, schools absolutely do not any longer, and elected officials appear to be either ignorant or complicit in undermining the structure to serve as given and shown by our founders and first several decades of American government.

Run toward the Battle is an article I just distributed nationally. Get up off your chairs and out of your comfort zones and run for office at local levels, what may appear to be insignificant offices, and definitely find a strong Christian who is aligned with our founding principles with evidence toward the same. Vote for that individual, but demand evidence and consistency first. Run yourself if you agree with my sentiment above. We need leaders now more than ever. Stop merely ringing your hands and crying, “what will we do?” We are on a limited time frame, very limited in my opinion. Get off your chairs now!

U.S. Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) demonstrated what I just wrote. He said he would leave the Democrat Party if it officially becomes “the anti-Israel party.” 104 House Democrats voted to cut $3.3 billion in Israel security aid, which shows the direction the Democrats are quickly moving. Sen Fetterman also called out the Democrat Party saying he does not believe everything is fine. There is a “rot” inside the Party on Israel, he sees normalizing pro-Hamas sentiment, and the party flatly rejecting claims of genocide in Gaza. The list he provides of the Democrat Party becoming an anti-Israel, anti-US founding principles, pro-Socialist/Marxist, pro-Islamic party is real and detailed. His coming forward is one example of Run toward the Battle and standing up for truth and the American way. What examples can you give, right now, that are measurable not merely philosophical and talking?

We are in a war to preserve the United States of America. This statement is NOT mere conspiracy talk or sensational rhetoric. I pray people will get off their seats and run toward the battle in their small community, city, county, state and of course nationally.
