Democrat strategists with ties to the Barack Obama administration have launched a super PAC intended to preemptively delegitimize any concerns Republicans might raise about election integrity. The so-called Democracy Defenders group will fund and support legal battles around the 2024 election if former President Donald J. Trump and his supporters challenge dubious election results, as they did in 2020.
Jim Messina, Obama’s 2012 campaign manager, chairs the PAC. It also includes Norm Eisen, a key figure in Trump’s first sham impeachment. T.J. Ducklo, who previously worked for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, is stepping down from Harris’s presidential campaign to become the PAC’s chief strategist.
With an initial $10 million budget, Democracy Defenders is poised to flood the courts and media with resources to counter any Republican efforts to question election results. This suggests that they are already intent on dismissing any claims of irregularities, regardless of their merit.
While Democrats claim they need to “protect” the election from Trump, with Messina saying they won’t let Trump “undermine” the election, Democracy Defenders’ launch appears to be a preemptive strike against any attempts to ensure integrity and transparency in the voting process.
The Democratic Nation Committee (DNC) and state Democrats are already suing to stop the Georgia State Election Board from reconciling apparent voting discrepancies before certification, insisting concerns should only be raised after the fact.
There is solid evidence that mail-in voting, in particular, was plagued by fraud during the 2020 election—with one in five mail-in voters admitting they cast illegitimate votes in a major poll.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Georgia Democratic Party are suing to overturn election integrity regulations in Georgia with the support of Kamala Harris‘s campaign. The State Election Board has, with the help of new officials backed by Donald Trump, passed rules requiring the total number of votes cast to be reconciled with the total number of voters recorded before election results are certified, among other enhanced security measures.
This lawsuit is part of a broader Democratic effort to undermine election safeguards despite the party’s insistence that there is no widespread voter fraud in U.S. elections to worry about. It aims to prevent election officials from delaying the certification of results in November 2024, insisting they must be certified by a specific deadline regardless of any discrepancies.
The Democrats argue certification is a mere formality and that concerns about irregularities should only be addressed post-certification. Moreover, they are lobbying for the expulsion of the Trump-linked officials responsible for the new rules from the State Election Board altogether.
Democrats in Georgia may have an unusual ally in the Peach State’s Republican governor, Brian Kemp, who, along with Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, has proved remarkably resistant to investigating claims of voter fraud and voting machine vulnerabilities since 2020.
Governor Kemp is reportedly asking Attorney General Christopher Carr for “guidance” on legally removing the pro-election integrity officials.

Meta CEO and Chairman Mark Zuckerberg is admitting that his social media platform, Facebook, was pressured by the Biden-Harris government to censor Americans who posted about the COVID-19 pandemic on his website. Additionally, the tech billionaire acknowledges that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had warned them about potential Russian disinformation regarding Burisma and the Biden family, which directly resulted in the New York Post‘s Hunter Biden laptop story being suppressed on Facebook.
The admissions come in a letter from Zuckerberg to House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH). This appears to be the most definitive acknowledgment by the social media titan yet of the scale and depth of the Biden-Harris government and FBI‘s role in censoring American citizens and the free press.
COVID CENSORSHIP.
“In 2021, senior officials from the Biden Administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree,” the Meta CEO and Facebook founder writes. Zuckerberg continues, acknowledging it was ultimately his company’s decision to censor users: “I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it… we’re ready to push back if something like this happens again.”
THE LAPTOP FROM HELL.
Addressing Facebook‘s interference in the 2020 presidential race by suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story just weeks before election day, Zuckerberg again pointed the finger at the federal government—namely the FBI.
“In a separate situation, the FBI warned us about a potential Russian disinformation operation about the Biden family and Burisma in the lead up to the 2020 election,” Zuckerberg states, while contending that the FBI briefing is what directly led to his company’s decision to percent users from seeing the New York Poststory. He adds: “It’s since been made clear that the reporting was not Russian disinformation, and in retrospect, we shouldn’t have demoted the story.”
The National Pulse’s Facebook account has been virtually unusable since we were one of the first outlets to meaningfully report from the hard drive.
Zuckerberg told Chairman Jordan that Facebook has subsequently changed its policies and that news stories will no longer be demoted while being reviewed by the social media platform’s fact-checkers.
ELECTION DONATIONS.
In the final part of his letter to Chairman Jordan, Zuckerberg promises to end his donations to progressive-controlled election groups like the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), first exposed here on The National Pulse five years ago.
“Apart from content moderation, I want to address the contributions I made during the last presidential election cycle to support electoral infrastructure,” the Meta Chairman and CEO writes, adding: “I know that some people believe this work benefited one party over another. My goal is to be neutral and play a role one way or another—or even appear to be playing a role.”
Zuckerberg concludes: “So I don’t plan on making a similar contribution this cycle.”
The National Pulse has previously reported that Zuckerberg‘s contributions have helped fund an army of pro-Democratic Party election workers and poll watchers who have been instrumental in blocking Republican-backed election integrity efforts. Democratic Party corporate media allies have tried to claim Republicans “weaponized Mark Zuckerberg’s donations,” however his admission to Jordan suggests the Republican accusations are true.

1. Biden-Harris Admin "pressured" Facebook to censor Americans.
2. Facebook censored Americans.
3. Facebook throttled the Hunter Biden laptop story.

The Republican National Committee (RNC), Michigan GOP, and Wayne County Republican committees in the Wolverine State are suing the Election Commission of the City of Detroit, alleging they have violated state law by appointing a grossly disproportionate share of Democratic versus Republican election inspectors. The lawsuit states that there are no Republican poll watchers in hundreds of precincts.
State election law stipulates that election commissioners must ” appoint at least 1 election inspector from each major political party and shall appoint an equal number, as nearly as possible, of election inspectors in each election precinct from each major political party.” However, according to the RNC, the authorities in Detroit have appointed 7.5 Democrat election inspectors for every Republican. In Wayne County, 202 of 335 precincts have no Republican poll watchers at all.
The disparity does not stem from a lack of Republicans willing to act as poll watchers. Paula Gnacke-Nemeth, the then-County Chairwoman of the Wayne County Republican Party Republican, sent a list of 675 Republicans willing to serve as election inspectors to the City of Detroit Election Commission. Only 52 people from that list were appointed, out of approximately 310 Republican poll watchers in total. Meanwhile, 2,337 Democrats were appointed.
“Detroit’s failure to hire Republican poll workers is the kind of bad-faith Democrat interference that drives down faith in elections,” RNC Chairman Michael Whatley and Co-Chairwoman Lara Trump said of the situation in a joint statement.
Michigan is a crucial swing state in the upcoming contest between former President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. The Biden Harris government’s support in the state has been eroded by its stance on Gaza, with many Muslims vowing they would not support Biden before he dropped out in favor of his vice president.

The United States Supreme Court has only partially reinstated a proof-of-citizenship electionlaw in Arizona. First passed in 2022, the law requires documentary proof of citizenship using state or federal registration forms when registering to vote. In a 5-to-4 decision, the Supreme Court ordered Thursday that the law’s provision mandating proof-of-citizens on state-created forms be reinstated. However, the court did not permit the enforcement of rules mandating such proof for voting in presidentialelections or by mail.
Already, 40,000 individuals are believed to have registered to vote in the state using federal forms without providing proof of citizenship. During the 2020 presidential election, Arizona was decided by just over 10,000 votes.
An emergency appeal by the Republican National Committee (RNC) and Arizona state lawmakers prompted the ruling. Initially taken up by Justice Elena Kagan, the full court issued its order on Thursday—partially overturning a federal district court order blocking the proof-of-citizenship requirements. While Arizona’s legislature can continue to set rules for its state election processes, the Supreme Court barred the state from determining eligibility requirements for registration to vote in federal races.
The Republicans had urged the Supreme Court to issue the stay by Thursday. According to the secretary of state, this deadline was essential for resolving litigation that would affect Arizona‘s ballot printing. Arizona’s HB 2492 law, enacted in 2022, mandates that individuals using a federal form for voter registration must provide documentary proof of citizenship. Without such proof, they are ineligible to vote in presidential elections or by mail.
The National Pulse has reportedextensively on the issue of noncitizenvoters. Loopholes and conflicts between state and federal election laws have likely allowed a statistically significant number of ineligible noncitizens to register as voters in U.S. elections. A federal investigation in North Carolina revealed that noncitizens overwhelming back Democratic Party candidates.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) ordered the execution of a series of search warrants across three counties in the state as part of a two-year investigation into allegations of voter fraud and ballot harvesting. According to Paxton’s office, the raids stem from several undercover operations aimed at an organization believed to be registering noncitizens to vote.
“I am launching an investigation into reports that organizations in Texas are illegally registering noncitizens to vote,” the Texas AG said in a post on X (formerly Twitter) after announcing the raids. “Texans are deeply troubled by the possibility that organizations purporting to assist with voter registration are illegally registering noncitizens to vote in our elections,” he added.

— Attorney General Ken Paxton (@KenPaxtonTX) August 21, 2024
“My office is investigating every credible report we receive regarding potential criminal activity that could compromise the integrity of our elections,” Paxton continued. “The Biden-Harris Administration has intentionally flooded our country with illegalaliens, and without proper safeguards, foreign nationals can illegally influence elections at the local, state, and national level.”
The investigation found that several nonprofit groups had set up booths outside Texas Department of Public Safety Driver License offices, ostensibly offering to register voters. However, Paxton‘s office notes that Texas already offers voter registration when citizens file applications to obtain or renew a driver’s license.
Under Texas state law, lying about one’s citizenship status when registering to vote is a crime. Violators can receive up to two years in prison and be forced to pay up to a $10,000 fine. Additionally, it is illegal to aid a noncitizen in registering to vote, and those convicted of such an action can also be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison and be required to pay a $10,000 fine.

The Georgia State Election Board voted three to two to adopt a new rule requiring the total number of votes cast to be reconciled with the total number of voters recorded for an election. If discrepancies in the count are discovered, the issue must be investigated, and a resolution must be found before the vote can be certified.
This marks the latest in a series of victories in Georgia for electionintegrity activists. Under the new rule, the State Election Board must meet within several days of an election to review precinct returns. In addition, the Board will oversee the compiling of a list of all voters who participated in a given election—including a breakdown by category of those “who voted Election Day In Person, Advanced Voting, Absentee and Provisionally.” The rule also adds that the number of “unique voter IDs from each precinct shall be counted.”
According to the rule, the total number of votes cast in each precinct will then be reconciled with the total number of votes counted in the same precinct. “In any precinct in which the number of ballots exceeds the number of unique votes, the Board shall determine the method of voting in which the discrepancy exists,” the new Georgia rule reads.
If the error cannot be resolved, “the Board shall determine a method to compute the votes justly” according to state law. If fraud is discovered, the Board is required to report its findings to the relevant districtattorney.
The National Pulse reported in July that the Georgia State Election Board will also require local election officials to reconcile the number of votes cast with the number of ballots counted at the end of each day of early voting.

A United Kingdom-based climate activist group is admittingly attempting to interfere in the 2024 U.S. presidential election on behalf of the Democratic Party, attacking former President Donald J. Trump over the much-maligned Project 2025. The Centre for Climate Reporting, founded by radical environmentalists Lawrence Carter and Tom Costello, has released a heavily edited ten-minute expose on the Heritage Foundation-housed presidential transition project featuring former Trump administration official Russ Vought and others speaking to an undercover reporter.
The Centre for Climate Reporting video uses an overly dramatic music score and ominous voice-over work to portray comments by Vought and other individuals involved in Project 2025 as evidence of a nefarious plot. However, the clandestinely shot video, in truth, offers nothing new. The comments made by Vought echo statements he has made in the past and are readily available in the public record—something the filmmakers tacitly admit by recycling clips of Vought’s appearances on programs like Stephen K. Bannon‘s War Room.
In one moment that is meant to be ‘shocking’ to viewers, Vought discusses plans to deportillegalimmigrants and defund PlannedParenthood. These are two policy areas where the entirety of the Republican Party has been very vocal—and, in the case of the former, has mass public support according to election polls.
Vought, who served as the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under former President Trump, is a major force behind efforts to reform the federal government’s administrative powers and end the undemocratic deep state. The former Trump official’s views and policy goals are no secret, though the Centre for Climate Reporting certainly attempts to mislead viewers on this.
FOREIGN ELECTION INTERFERENCE.
However, the UK-based environmental group could be excused for not knowing that it is common for individuals and organizations on both sides of the American political aisle to begin planning presidential transitions several months, if not years, in advance—including drafting hundreds of policy proposals. The lack of understanding of common practices in American politics, though, raises a secondary concern other than their misleading portrayal of Vought and Project 2025.
The Centre for Climate Reporting’s video is obviously meant to build on Democratic Party and progressive activists‘ attacks on Project 2025 and the Republican presidential nominee. Yet, unlike the domestic American reporting, the Centre is a foreign entity employing British and Canadian nationals who are not allowed to legally participate in U.S. elections as voters. Carter and Costello’s video certainly appears to be the sort of foreign election interference that Democrats have lambasted since 2016.
Aside from being misleading foreign-produced propaganda, the Centre for Climate Reporting’s undercover video appears to be something the group can present to donors in an attempt to boost their funding. The high production value and media push—including coverage by CNN—have all the hallmarks of a work product meant to court American progressive financial backers.

Kamala Harris‘s campaign was caught manipulating news headlines and paying to promote the altered stories as search advertisements on Google.
How do Google Search ads work? They appear at the top of the page when someone searches for specific keywords related to the advertiser’s ad.
The details: Since August 3, the Harris campaign has created dozens of these search ads, with headlines that look like they come from CNN, CBS News, NPR, USA Today, and many others.
The ads link to real articles from the news outlets, but the headlines are manipulated to appear as endorsements of Harris and her policies.
Cut to the chase: They want to trick voters into thinking these ads are real headlines. They have “sponsorship” labels but they’re easy to miss.
One example: A manipulated headline from The Independent reads: “VP Harris Protects Democracy – Trump Defends Jan 6 Comments” and the article description reads: “Kamala Harris will protect voting rights for all Americans.”
Another reads: “Harris Will Lower Health Costs” and the article description reads: “Kamala Harris will lower the cost of high-quality affordable health care.”
Is Trump running these shady ads? No. Google’s ad transparency center confirms this.
Is this allowed? Google’s terms of service do allow these types of ads to run on their platform and argue that because it says “Sponsored,” they’re easily distinguished from real results.
Big picture: Google is the same platform that was caught suppressing searches about Donald Trump’s attempted assassination just two weeks ago. Make no mistake—if the Trump campaign ran similar ads, they would find a problem with them.

Americans are increasingly concerned about noncitizen voters illegally casting ballots in federal elections. New data from Rasmussen Reports indicates that 55 percent of American voters believe it is likely that noncitizens influence election results where they live. The polling data suggests that noncitizen voters are beginning to receive attention among the electorate after being dismissed by the corporate media for years.
The Rasmussen Reports poll also reveals an overwhelming number of American voters oppose allowing noncitizens to cast ballots in U.S. elections. A total of 85 percent of those polled said that only U.S. citizens should be allowed to vote. Just 11 percent said noncitizens should be legally able to cast ballots. These trends were present regardless of political affiliation, with 87 percent of Republicans, 81 percent of Democrats, and 86 percent of unaffiliated voters all saying that only American citizens should be legally allowed to vote.
IMPACT OF NONCITIZEN VOTES.
Corporate media outlets like the Associated Press have attempted to dismiss concerns about the election impacts noncitizen voters could make. However, evidence continues to mount, showing that noncitizens are not just voting but doing so in numbers that could prove pivotal in deciding the outcome of tight electoral contests.
The National Pulse has previously reported that election data shows a statistically significant number of noncitizens acknowledge participating in past U.S. elections. Additionally, the prosecution of noncitizen voters in North Carolina reveals that they illegally cast ballots by a ratio of three to one in favor of Democratic Party candidates. A federal investigation in the state found that some noncitizens were only allowed to register to vote by election workers after determining they’d likely support Democrats on the ballot.
Noncitizens have been able to cast ballots due to state governments grantingdriver’slicenses to legal and illegalimmigrants. Additionally, the lack of proof of citizenship requirements in state and federal elections means that noncitizens can easily slip past the minor barriers intended to ensure only citizens cast votes.
