Georgia Elections Board Moves to Enhance Vote Integrity with New Rule.

In a three-to-one decision, the Georgia State Election Board has amended state election rules to ensure the number of ballots cast is the number of ballots counted for each day of voting. According to the rule change, the poll manager and two witnesses—sworn in as poll officers—will remove the ballots from the scanner box and present the votes to three independent poll officers for a hand count.

Each poll officer will proceed to count through the ballots cast. Once each of the three officers concludes their count, they must sign a control document denoting their tally. If the numbers of each count do not match with each other and align with the voting machine count, then the poll manager is directed to immediately identify the source of the inconsistency and correct it if possible.

Consistent ballot counts and custody have been an ongoing concern in U.S. elections, especially in Georgia. The National Pulse reported in May that a bombshell investigation by the Georgia Secretary of State’s office found that Fulton County had implemented improper procedures during its 2020 presidential election recount. Even more concerning, Fulton County election officials could not account for thousands of ballot images from their initial scanning. Additionally, duplicate images of some ballot scans were discovered, implying that votes may have been counted multiple times.

The Georgia State Election Board responded by issuing a letter of reprimand to the county and assigning a monitor to supervise the upcoming 2024 presidential election. Fulton County’s representative, Jessica Corbitt, claims that no proof of fraud has been found, and that the county is focusing on upgrading its election procedures and infrastructure.

Yet Another State Is Sending Voter Registration Forms to Noncitizens.

Noncitizens living in California are receiving voter registration forms after renewing their driver’s licenses. In at least one instance, a noncitizen who checked the box on the Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) paperwork denoting that they are not a U.S. citizen still received a voter registration form in the mail.

At least 19 states and the District of Columbia allow noncitizens to obtain driver’s licenses through their state’s DMV. Meanwhile, the National Voter Registration Act requires state DMVs to provide an option for those obtaining or renewing a driver’s license to register to vote on the same form. If a noncitizen claims to have U.S. citizenship—by simply checking a box—they will likely be added to voter rolls unless those rolls are examined with extra scrutiny.

Like the other 18 states and Washington, D.C., California lacks additional laws requiring more stringent proof of citizenship for voter registration. This makes the likelihood of noncitizens illegally voting in state and federal elections a genuine concern.

While the U.S. government’s mandated transition to REAL ID should prevent noncitizens from being able to register to vote through their driver’s license application—as they cannot obtain a REAL ID under federal law—some states are already carving out loopholes. In May, The National Pulse reported that Illinois lawmakers are considering legislation that would still allow noncitizens to obtain a standard state-issued driver’s license—with applicants being automatically registered to vote unless they initially decline the option.

The National Pulse has previously reported that at least 37 noncitizens in North Carolina faced federal prosecution for illegally voting in U.S. elections. Additionally, an analysis of those cases suggests noncitizens are three times as likely to vote for Democrat candidates.

‘Mini-Soros’ Reid Hoffman Now Underwriting Smartmatic’s Lawsuits Against Fox News & Newsmax.

Reid Hoffman, the Democratic megadonor and ‘Epstein Island’ visitor, has invested in Smartmatic, an electronic voting company engaged in several defamation lawsuits against Fox News and Newsmax. While Smartmatic claimed last year that no third-party entities were underwriting its litigation efforts, that appears to have changed with Hoffman’s investment.

“Smartmatic built a global business by using technology to better engage citizens, regardless of party or ideology, by making voting simple and trustworthy,” Hoffman claimed in a statement, acknowledging his investment and its purpose. He continued: “After Donald Trump lost in 2020, however, Smartmatic became a target of the defamatory campaign to overturn his defeat.”

“Not only is Smartmatic a great investment in terms of financial returns, this was a way to provide capital that would allow the truth to be found in the courts,” he confired. “This is a company that is a great company with a great CEO, and this case is a great case.”

A trial date has yet to be set for Smartmatic‘s lawsuit against Fox News. It settled similar litigation last year with Dominion Voting Systems for $787.5 million.

HISTORY. 

Hoffman, the co-founder of LinkedIn, has funded several lawfare campaigns against conservative organizations and candidates, including E. Jean Carroll’s civil defamation lawsuits against former President Donald J. Trump. In addition, Hoffman is a major financial backer of the MeidasTouch Network. Founded by the three Meiselas brothers—Ben, Brett, and Jordy—the far-left media organization helped popularize the “bloodbath” hoax against Trump earlier this year.

The tech billionaire has also funded Fusion GPS, Nimrata ‘Nikki’ Haley, and other anti-Trump endeavors. In 2024—long after Epstein’s conviction for procuring a girl below age 18 for prostitution—Hoffman visited the pedophile financier’s compound in the U.S. Virgin Islands. In addition, Hoffman arranged to stay at the Manhattan townhouse where Epstein abused many of his victims.

He admitted to The Wall Street Journal that “by lending my association, I helped [Epstein’s] reputation, and thus delayed justice for his survivors.” The LinkedIn co-founder claims his last interaction with the convicted sex offender was in 2015.

Britain Is Holding Its First General Election with Voter ID on July 4 — But Mail-in Fraud Risk Remains.

Photo ID will be required at polling stations for the first time in a British general election on July 4. This follows a report led by Lord Eric Pickles in 2016 highlighting risks of “significant abuse” under the previous system, with voters only required to confirm their name and address verbally.

Voters in England, Scotland, and Wales must now present photo identification, such as a passport or driving license, to vote. If voters lack these documents, a range of government-approved travel passes and voter authority certificates are also acceptable.

Northern Ireland has required photo ID for years already.

Lord Pickles’s report criticized authorities for being in a “state of denial” about electoral fraud. Nevertheless, leftist opposition parties such as Labour—projected to win the election by a substantial margin—and the Liberal Democrats remain opposed to the changes, claiming they disenfranchise ethnic minorities and groups such as transgenders and the “non-binary.”

MAIL-IN BALLOTS. 

However, mail-in voting on demand remains in place, with substantially weaker security measures. Local elections involving Muslim Labour councilors (councilmen) were overturned in 2005 after a scheme involving corrupt mailmen, child ballot thieves, and bags of mail-in ballots arriving late to counts was exposed in court.

Neither the elections regulator nor the police investigated the scheme, with ordinary citizens having to bring a case to court under the Representation of the People Act. Judge Richard Mawrey KC ruled that the then-Labour government was presiding over “electoral fraud that would disgrace a banana republic.”

Shortly before the 2020 election in the U.S., Mawrey penned an article warning U.S. mail-in voting was even more open to abuse than British mail-in voting.

“Filling the register with fake voters or with the names of genuine people who actually live in some other district… is not difficult,” he explained.

“The problem is compounded by the fact that, in many states, the registration and returning officers (often the same person) may well be political appointments and not, as in the UK, apolitical local civil servants. Turning a blind eye to roll-stuffing is bound to be a temptation,” Mawrey continued, warning, “Well-targeted local fraud could sway this election.”

Recent polling research suggests roughly a fifth of mail-in ballots in 2020 were fraudulent.

Mail-In Voting Calamity Hits UK 2 Days Before Election.

Issues with mail-in voting are already undermining Britain’s July 4 snap election. Royal Mail failures have resulted in many voters not receiving their ballots on time in over 90 constituencies (electoral districts).

Anas Sarwar, who leads the Labour Party in Scotland, complains, “One person disenfranchised is one person too many.” He notes “several cases… of people who have left to go on holiday and didn’t receive their postal votes on time.”

John Swinney, the First Minister of Scotland and leader of the left-separatist Scottish National Party (SNP), is complaining that the debacle could affect the election results.

Mail-in or postal voting in Britain was previously restricted to people with disabilities, soldiers serving overseas, and other select groups. However, the previous Labour government introduced postal voting for any voter on demand. Fraud has been plaguing British elections ever since.

In 2005, a major fraud scheme involving Muslim Labour candidates saw the courts overturn municipal elections in Birmingham, England’s second city. Ordinary citizens brought a case to court after the elections regulator and the police failed to intervene, exposing a scheme involving corrupt mailmen, child ballot thieves, a warehouse described as an “electoral fraud factory” where ballots were altered, and bags of ballots arriving late to counts.

Judge Richard Mawrey KC ruled the then-Labour government was presiding over “electoral fraud that would disgrace a banana republic.” He would later warn mail-in voting in the U.S. is subject to even greater abuse ahead of the 2020 election.

Conservative governments have made no meaningful changes to mail-in voting security. However, in-person voting now requires photo ID.

July 4 will be the first general election to require ID—and possibly the last. Labour, likely to win comfortably, are signaling they will abolish it.

ICYMI: Bannon Bulldozes Corporate Media on Jan 6, Election Integrity.

War Room host Stephen K. Bannon bulldozed ABC News’ Jonathan Karl in an interview ahead of his imprisonment for defying the corrupt January 6 Committee, turning the tables on the corporate media hitman as he asked him to tell Donald Trump supporters to “respect the results” of the 2024 election.

“Have you asked a Democrat this question?” Bannon demanded. “Yes or no? The answer’s no,” he said, before repeating the question to a dumbfounded Karl.

“Have, uh, have, have, I haven’t seen, I haven’t seen Democrats storm the Capitol to try and stop an election,” stammered the ABC journalist, a partisan actor who has authored anti-Trump books, such as the prematurely titled 2021 tract Betrayal: The Final Act of the Trump Show. 

Bannon pressed Karl on extreme statements by Democrats such as Jamie Raskin, prompting Karl to cut in with a testy, “I have no problem asking Democrats if they’re going to respect the election.”

“Then why don’t you do it?” Bannon asked. “The only reason you’re gonna have to is we put a pitchfork to your back and said, ‘Why don’t you ask Democrats?'”

“Here’s the bottom line,” Bannon concluded, rolling over Karl’s feeble attempts to interject again. “When this is adjudicated and reviewed, if they are certifiable, chain of custody ballots and votes from American citizens, then hey, whatever that outcome is, is totally fair. Until the time that we get that, all bets are off.”

Surveys suggest around a fifth of mail-in ballots in 2020 were fraudulent.

Democrat Steals Election Machine Keys, Security Fob in Maricopa County.

Election worker Walter Ringfield Jr. was arrested for stealing keys and a security fob used to access voting tabulation machines in Maricopa County, Arizona. Ringfield, an Arizona State University political science graduate, is “a registered Democrat who ran for Senate this cycle as a Democrat,” according to Kari Lake advisor Caroline Wren. She cites local news reports showing Walter Ringfield Jr. running in this year’s Democratic Senate primary.

The Ringfield incident raises further suspicions about election security in Maricopa County. Maricopa officials insist their election processes are secure, but the fact Ringfield was able to lift crucial security equipment lying in the open on an abandoned desk suggests this is not the case.

After the gubernatorial contest between Kari Lake and Katie Hobbs, evidence emerged showing Maricopa officials verifying mail-in ballots without checking signatures, often from their private offices and homes, without election observers present.

The Arizona Senate has previously threatened the Maricopa County Board with contempt for failing to comply with an investigation into its election equipment.

DEMOCRAT SPIN. 

The far-left MeidasTouch Network claims Ringfield is an “apparent Trump supporter.” The White House-linked group responsible for the bloodbath hoax against Donald Trump notes that someone has wiped all of Ringfield’s social media profiles, except for what they claim is his Truth Social account.

The @imjustheresoiwontbefined account has “reposts from pro-Trump MAGA accounts like The Epoch Times, Gateway Pundit, The Babylon Bee, and Catturd,” MeidasTouch asserts. However, Wren notes that “the header on [Ringfield’s] Truth Social account is literally a picture of him and [CNN analyst] Bakari Sellers.”

A post on the account shows Ringfield criticizing Trump for ending the Iran nuclear deal. Most of the account’s posts are short non-sequiturs such as “We are a nation built upon enslaved immigrants,” “BIPOC,” and “TERF you’re whack.”

49 States Are Now Supplying ‘Non-Citizens’ With Voter Registration Forms.

Illegal aliens and other “non-citizens” can receive voter registration forms without needing to show proof of citizenship in at least 49 states. They can use these forms to access welfare benefits and obtain driver’s licenses and mail-in ballots. Only Arizona has passed a law preventing this—but it applies only to state forms, not federal ones.

The National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) of 1993 mandates that states facilitate voter registration at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and welfare offices. These agencies must provide voter registration forms alongside application papers. Without a federal law requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration forms, migrants can simply claim to be U.S. citizens to register to vote, easily bypassing the official ban on non-citizens voting.

The House Administration Committee has approved the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act to combat this. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) also emphasizes the need for increased enforcement measures. However, with foreign aid and spending bills desired by the Democrat-controlled Senate and the White House already passed, the GOP has little chance of compelling them to pass new election integrity bills.

Federal prosecutions, state investigations, and audits reveal numerous non-citizens registered to vote. Former Federal Election Commission (FEC) member Hans von Spakovsky highlights various instances of non-Americans voting illegally in elections at different levels.

Polling suggests at least a fifth of mail-in ballots in 2020 were tainted by fraud, compromising the legitimacy of an election that came down to a few thousand votes in a handful of states.

Governor Sounds Voter Fraud Alarm After THOUSANDS of Unlawful Ballots Discovered.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has sounded the alarm on voter fraud, highlighting a recent court decision ordering a new election in Houston. In May, a judge determined that over 1,400 unlawful votes were cast in Harris County’s 180th District Court race in November 2022, preventing the identification of the rightful winner.

The disputed race saw Republican candidate Tami Pierce losing to Democrat candidate DaSean Jones by fewer than 450 votes. Judge Peeples found 983 votes were disqualified due to residency issues, 445 lacked valid photo identification, and 48 mail-in ballots were missing signatures or were not timely.

Following the court ruling, Governor Abbott took to X, formerly Twitter, to voice his concerns, warning: “Voter fraud is real. Especially in Houston.” He pointed to Judge David Peeples’s findings of 1,430 unlawful votes, underscoring the need for strict election integrity reforms.

Many X users responded to Abbott’s post expressing frustration over the lack of strong action against voter fraud. Some suggested using hand-counted paper ballots to prevent similar issues in future elections, while others called for harsher penalties, including mandatory prison sentences for election fraudsters.

ENDEMIC FRAUD. 

Research by the Heartland Institute suggests mail-in voting fraud is widespread, with a substantial share of mail-in voters self-reporting that they cast unlawful ballots in 2020. Seventeen percent of 2020 voters told the institute they voted in a state where they were no longer legal residents. Twenty-one percent said they filled out a ballot for someone else, and 17 percent admitted to forging the signature of a friend or family member “with or without their permission.”

Rasmussen reported similar findings in December, additionally noting that one in ten poll respondents said someone offered them “pay” or a “reward” for voting.

4 Arrested, Charges Filed 5 Years After Democrat Ballot Stuffing.

A Bridgeport, Connecticut, Democratic Party official, a city council member, and two campaign workers face criminal charges for allegedly perpetrating a ballot-stuffing scheme in the town’s 2019 Democratic mayoral primary. The charges stem from a plot to ensure incumbent Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim would win the primary race. He narrowly defeated State Senator Marilyn Moore by just 270 votes.

Bridgeport Democratic Town Committee Vice Chairperson Wanda Geter-Pataky and City Council Member Alfredo Castillo—along with campaign workers Nilsa Heredia and Josephine Edmonds—are charged with unlawful possession of absentee ballots and additional election-related violations. Three of the four also face charges of witness tampering.

RIGGING THE ELECTION.

An investigation by the Chief State’s Attorney’s office into the 2019 election scandal found evidence of extensive illegalities: Geter-Pataky reportedly failed to sign as an assister on an absentee ballot application she completed for a voter and allegedly misrepresented absentee voting eligibility requirements. The office also notes that she instructed a citizen not to vote in person and claimed she would retrieve the citizen’s absentee ballot. Additionally, Geter-Pataky purportedly told the citizen to keep quiet about the matter.

Heredia is accused of directing voters on absentee ballot candidate selections and misrepresenting eligibility requirements. She admitted to investigators that she did not submit an absentee ballot distribution list to the City of Bridgeport Clerk’s Office.

Castillo allegedly failed to maintain an absentee ballot distribution list and did not sign as an assister. Though initially denying involvement, Castillo later admitted to helping fill out portions of a ballot application.

Edmonds is accused of being present when four voters filled out absentee ballots and taking possession of them. Additionally, she allegedly failed to keep an absentee ballot distribution list and instructed a witness not to testify truthfully.

IT HAPPENED AGAIN.

Geter-Pataky is also suspected of being involved in a nearly identical scandal that resulted in the town’s 2023 mayoral election having to be held three times. Once again, Ganim was eventually re-elected despite numerous ballot irregularities. In September 2023, video evidence surfaced allegedly showing a city employee and Ganim supporter placing multiple absentee ballots into a ballot box during the Democratic mayoral primary.
