A formal administrative complaint filed by America First Legal (AFL) alleges a 2018 Pennsylvania State Department directive may allow noncitizens and other ineligible individuals to register to vote. The complaint, filed on behalf of Zimolong, LLC, contends the state election directive contravenes the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002, which mandates specific verification processes to ensure voter eligibility.
According to HAVA, a prospective voter must provide either a valid driver’s license number or, if they do not possess one, the last four digits of their Social Security number on their voter registration form. Additionally, election officials must verify these numbers against state and federal databases. This verification system is designed to ensure that only eligible voters are registered.
However, Pennsylvania’s 2018 election directive states that voter registration applications “may not be rejected based solely on a non-match between the applicant’s identifying numbers on their application and the comparison database numbers.” AFL contends that this guidance violates HAVA and potentially allows ineligible individuals, including noncitizens, to be added to the state’s voter rolls. HAVA explicitly states an application may not be processed unless it includes a valid driver’s license number or the last four digits of the applicant’s Social Security number. If an applicant lacks both, the state must assign a unique identifying number.
“Americans all across the United States have legitimate concerns about the security of our elections. Yet the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has adopted and maintained a voter registration process that clearly and unambiguously violates basic federal law intended to provide a minimum baseline of security,” AFL’s executive director and general counsel, Gene Hamilton, said in a statement. He added: “The Secretary of State must abandon this unlawful practice and comply with federal law to prevent fraud in elections in Pennsylvania.”

A lawsuit filed in Texas alleges that a “willful and systematic disregard of election laws” has allowed a breach in ballot secrecy, impacting most of the state’s voters. The lawsuit, filed by Dr. Laura Pressley and several other voters, contends that the state, in failing to comply with its own election rules, has created a security flaw that allows anyone to reverse engineer for whom a voter cast their ballot.
According to Dr. Pressley’s lawsuit, public information paired with specific data mining techniques can reveal voter choices. Hacking a ballot is accomplished through an algorithm that can decrypt the randomized ID numbers assigned to voters. While the randomized ID numbers are only used by some of the electronic voting machines in the state, they appear to be used prevalently in the state’s most populous counties. Texas state election law, however, actually stipulates that voter ID numbers must be consecutively numbered.
GOP CHAIRMAN’S HACKED BALLOT.
The ballot security flaw was recently used by the independent Texas news outlet Current Revolt to expose for which candidates for office Matt Rinaldi, the chairman of the Republican Party of Texas (RPT), voted during the state’s Super Tuesday 2024 primary election. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Rinaldi claimed he voted for former President Donald J. Trump in the March primary. However, the ballot copy acquired by Current Revolt shows that he voted for Governor Ron DeSantis. The Florida Governor dropped out of the Republican presidential primary race weeks before the Texas primary.
Experts such as Dr. Walter Daugherity from Texas A&M University have verified a repetitive pattern in the random number generation used to assign ballots, adding credibility to Dr. Pressley’s claims. The process — detailed in the lawsuit — shows how unique ballot numbers can be linked back to individual voters, making ballot secrecy an illusion.

Republicans are advancing the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a bill that would mandate proof of citizenship for voting, citing concerns over illegal voting by noncitizens despite opposition from Democrats. The Associated Press (AP) has acknowledged instances of foreign nationals illegally registering and voting. However, it insists that the SAVE Act is not necessary.
AP reporter Ali Swenson states that “the specter of immigrants voting illegally in the U.S. has erupted into a leading election-year talking point for Republicans.” Although Swenson concedes that there have been incidents of noncitizens registering and voting illegally, she argues that federal law already prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal elections and suggests that cases of illegal voting by noncitizens are not occurring in significant numbers. She also insists that states already have measures to counteract such actions.
Critics of the current system, however, note that the federal government does not require documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration. Federal voter registration forms only require individuals to affirm their citizenship by checking a box, effectively making the process reliant on the honor system.
Democrats oppose the SAVE Act, arguing that additional ID requirements could disenfranchise eligible voters who might not have immediate access to documents such as birth certificates or Social Security cards. Swenson cited a left-leaning activist who contended that IDs like Social Security numbers or driver’s licenses already entail proof of citizenship. Proponents of the SAVE Act argue that if such IDs already reflect citizenship status, requiring them should not constitute disenfranchisement.
Earlier this month, the National Pulse reported that not only are illegal aliens voting, but they are also three times more likely to vote for Democrats.

Editor’s Notes
Behind-the-scenes political intrigue exclusively for Pulse+ subscribers.
Democrat-aligned ‘dark money‘ groups are increasing their efforts to interfere in the 2024 presidential election as former President Donald J. Trump pulls further ahead of Joe Biden. Some of these ‘dark money’ organizations have received millions from left-wing billionaire and globalist George Soros.
The group Power the Polls has unveiled a new advisory council dedicated to training and fielding an army of pro-Democrat poll watchers ahead of the November presidential election. Power the Polls, founded in 2020, received its seed money from the Open Society Foundations — the primary vehicle for George Soros to distribute his vast wealth into U.S. political operations.
Power the Polls’ advisory council lacks bipartisan representation and is spearheaded by two prominent anti-Trump activists, actress Kerry Washington and former Congressman Adam Kinzinger. The group has even secured a partnership with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R).
More concerningly, Power the Polls is tied to Work Elections, a project of the Fair Election Network. Convoluted layers of financial and political ties are often used by Democrat-aligned ‘dark money‘ groups to hide their controlling organizations and funders. In this case, the Fair Election Network is a subsidiary of the New Venture Fund, a non-profit foundation controlled by Arabella Advisors.
The National Pulse has reported extensively on Arabella Advisors, a for-profit consulting firm with deep ties to national progressive Democrat leaders. Since the Citizens United Supreme Court decision, Arabella has built a vast network of non-profits and non-government organizations (NGOs) that act as clearing houses for vast sums of donor money for a myriad of left-wing causes. Arabella has funneled at least $10 million to pro-Hamasprotestors and is currently involved in an effort to take over state and local media networks to push pro-Democrat propaganda.

The Democrat-aligned corporatemedia is continuing to push a revisionist history when discussing Mark Zuckerberg’s election interference operation. Zuckerberg has come under fire on numerous occasions for blatantly meddling in American democracy through his contributions to the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL). However, the corporate media has continually claimed Republicans “weaponized Mark Zuckerberg’s donations,” among other things.
On April 2, 2024, Wisconsin voters moved to ban the private funding of elections — effectively ending Zuckerberg’s ability to influence state ballot regulations through groups like CTCL. This sparked a bevy of “Republicans pounce” style narratives from various media outlets. In reality, the Democrat-aligned media was fretting about CTCL’s loss of control of election policy, especially in Democrat jurisdictions where ballot fraud and other election abnormalities have become a concern.
A USA Today story, published shortly after Wisconsin voters passed election changes, suggested that the electorate was the victim of “misinformation” regarding the Facebook CEO’s contributions to CTCL. The newspaper claimed that Zuckerberg had given more to pro-Trump election jurisdictions than those that went for Biden. However, USA Today omitted essential details from FEC data, which shows that 90 percent of CTCL funds went to Democrat-controlled election jurisdictions. The Trump jurisdictions received just a fraction of the funding.
Despite numerous state bans, CTCL continues to operate clandestinely in many U.S. states. Through a series of publicly available webinars, CTCL has continued to provide training on topics like working with leftist fact-checkers, lobbying elected officials, and building relationships with selected journalists. The National Pulse reported in April that Zuckerberg’s Facebook is alleged to have already interfered in U.S. elections at least 39 times since 2008.

Congressional Republicans are demanding answers about the Joe Biden regime’s use of the Small Business Administration (SBA) to engage alleged in pro-Democrat get-out-the-vote efforts. The Biden SBA has “partnered” with the Michigan Secretary of State to spend taxpayer money on voter registration efforts in the key battleground state, an endeavor critics say is a thinly veiled effort to spend ‘Bidenbucks’ on buying Biden voters. It is refusing to comply with the House Small Business Committee’s investigation.
Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), the ranking member of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, said the regime’s use of the SBA for voter registration in Michigan was “beyond disturbing.”
Ernst, alongside Rep. Roger Williams, R-Texas, Chairman of the House Small Business Committee, is seeking answers regarding the SBA’s connection to the Michigan voter registration project. Earlier this year, a memorandum was signed between the SBA and the Michigan Department of State “to promote civic engagement and voter registration,” with the partnership set to continue until the beginning of 2036. This move is part of President Biden’s Executive Order 14019, often referred to as “Bidenbucks” by election integrity advocates.
Last week, Williams issued subpoenas to Tyler Robinson and Arthur Plews, both prominent SBA officials, following their noncompliance with a congressional investigation into suspected “engineering” activities.
Ernst and Williams stated that SBA officials continue to disregard their requests for documentation and have not attended scheduled interviews, intensifying uncertainty around the regime’s transparency. Moving forward, Biden‘s executive order and the SBA’s involvement in voter registration will likely face legal challenges and rigorous analyses.
“Using taxpayer dollars in an attempt to engage in federal campaign activities is a gross abuse of official agency resources and needs to be further investigated,” Ernst wrote in a letter to SBA Administrator Isabel Casillas Guzman last month.

Washington D.C.-based law firm Elias Law Group, led by Democrat attorney and Russian collusion hoaxer Marc Elias, failed to convince a federal judge in a recent case challenging Wisconsin’s election integrity laws. The firm’s argument, which the presiding judge termed “head-scratching,” sought to challenge the state’s statute mandating that a U.S. citizen must witness and sign an absentee voter’s ballot. According to Elias Law Group, this infringed upon voting and civil rights.
Presiding over the case was U.S. District Court Chief Judge James D. Peterson, an Obama-appointed judge. He dismissed the petition against the Wisconsin Elections Commission, expressing his consternation at the claims, insinuating that they lacked logic and soundness.
“The absurd results to which plaintiffs’ interpretation would lead are reason enough to reject that interpretation,” Peterson wrote. “It is plaintiffs’ interpretation that leads to head-scratching results.”
Furthermore, considering the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the judge clarified that neither explicitly prohibited a state from enforcing a witnessing system for absentee voting. The Elias Law Group alleged that the witness requirement would violate these federal statutes. Elias‘s lawyers “have not shown that either the Voting Rights Act of 1965 or the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits a state from requiring absentee voters to prepare their ballot in front of a witness,” wrote Peterson.
Elias’s firm argued that witnessing and signing absentee ballots was overly arduous and inconvenient. However, Judge Peterson upheld the traditions of election integrity, maintaining that such steps were necessary to prevent potential electoral fraud and the undue influence of ballot harvesting.
In response to the irregularities and controversies that plagued the country in 2020, Wisconsin has taken a national lead in ensuring election integrity heading into the 2024 election.

The Republican Speaker of the Wisconsin State Assembly, Robin Vos, appears determined to protect a state election official who abused her authority to allow illegal voting procedures to take place in the state during the 2020 election. Wisconsin Election Commission (WEC) administrator Megan Wolfe unilaterally cleared the way for the use of ballot drop boxes — without the backing of any Wisconsin law or statute. Additionally, Wolfe is alleged to have openly colluded with far-left election non-profit groups and allowed local election clerks to incorrectly register some voters as “indefinitely confined” in abrogation of state law.
While the Wisconsin Republican Speaker has at least given vocal backing to calls for Wolfe’s resignation, it appears that is as far as he’s willing to go. In fact, Vos purposefully assigned the articles of impeachment against Wolfe to an assembly committee so that the issue would die there. The committee has not taken action on the articles since November last year.
SPECIAL SESSION IMPEACHMENT.
Despite a detailed account of numerous instances where Wolfe either bent or twisted state law in favor of Democratic candidates in Wisconsin’s 2020 election, Speaker Vos has thus far refused to call legislators in for a special session to impeach and remove Wolfe. However, impeaching Wolfe isn’t an insurmountable hurdle akin to the Mayorkas impeachment trial in the U.S. Senate. The State Assembly only requires a majority vote, and two-thirds of the State Senate is needed to convict and remove. Republicans hold a comfortable majority in the State Assembly and a super-majority in the State Senate.
Vos’s refusal to call a special session to impeach and remove Wolfe is even stranger when considering the nature of her appointment to the WEC. Wolfe’s re-nomination was actually rejected by the State Senate, with lawmakers effectively firing her. However, the Wisconsin Supreme Court intervened, allowing Wolfe to remain in office, stating that an appointee cannot be removed if a replacement is not confirmed by the legislative body. Sen. Chris Kapenga (R), the President of the Senate, has stated it is his view that Wolfe is not legally entitled to her appointment, with her re-nomination having been rejected.
Additionally, lawmakers in the state legislation contend a special session would allow them to address a bevy of election integrity issues. These measures include passing a resolution that would ban the use of drop boxes, requiring human signature matching, and a clean-up of voter rolls.
VOS’S SHADY CONNECTIONS.
The Republican Speaker has been an outspoken critic of former President Donald J. Trump. Vos pledged to do everything possible to prevent Trump from securing the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
Even more concerning, however, is the Speaker’s connections with a Chinese Communist Party front group. Vos serves on the board of the State Legislative Leaders Foundation (SLLF), which is affiliated with the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC).
Vos’s anti-Trump statements, connections to Chinese communists, and refusal to take action against Wolfe’s illegitimate appointment to the WEC have resulted in a growing recall movement against him. Currently, the effort is just 2,000 signatures short of the number required to be filed on May 28, 2024, to start the recall process.

Documents obtained by watchdog group Judicial Watch reveal that the Washington, D.C., Board of Elections held a training event aimed at teaching illegal aliens to vote in D.C. elections. The “Non-Citizen Voting Education Virtual Training” was held in April following the announcement of noncitizen voting in D.C.
The findings, brought to light through a FOIA request, were slammed by Judicial Watch’s president, Tom Fitton. “Illegal aliens and noncitizens should not vote in any elections,” Fitton said. “That Congress allows the votes of citizens to be legally stolen by illegal aliens in our nation’s capital is inexcusable.”
Responding to the documents, Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy expressed concerns about “radical progressive Democrats” in the D.C. city government championing illegal alien voting rights. “The radical progressive Democrats in the D.C. city government couldn’t be prouder of the fact that they’re going to have illegal aliens voting in their elections,” Roy told the Daily Mail. “[Y]et, they want us to believe that it’s going to stop there, and that none of them are going to try — or be encouraged — to illegally vote in federal elections? Give me a break.”
Roy is promoting his SAVE Act as a response to this development. The bill would prohibit non-citizens from participating in federal elections and mandate proof of citizenship before voting. It would also ensure that all states actively remove non-citizens from their voter rolls and penalize errant election officials.
Earlier this month, a report found that noncitizens are illegally voting in elections across the country and are three times more likely to vote for Democrats.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court will today hear oral arguments on a crucial case involving the future of absentee ballot drop boxes in the state’s elections. The case presents the court’s liberal majority with a chance to reverse a ruling from less than two years ago, which significantly curtailed the number of such drop boxes.
If the court, with its current 4-3 liberal majority, reverses the earlier ruling, it could lead to a return of widespread use of absentee ballot drop boxes in time for the upcoming presidential election. Democrats and progressive groups have filed numerous briefs urging the court to reverse the 2022 decision. Conservative groups, along with the Wisconsin GOP, are pressing to uphold the current restrictions.
The Wisconsin GOP Chairman, Brian Schimming, warned about potential “hijinks” and concerns about the security of drop boxes. Moreover, he indicated that a change this close to the elections could fuel confusion.
The state high court ruled in 2022 that only the state Legislature—currently under Republican control—has the authority to make rules concerning absentee ballot drop boxes and not the Wisconsin Elections Commission. Priorities USA, a Democratic group, filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn this ruling. The current liberal majority on the court has agreed to review whether the prior ruling was wrongly decided.
Many of the ballot drop boxes in Wisconsin in 2020 were financed by Mark Zuckerberg’s Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) and overwhelmingly favored Democrats. Last month, Wisconsinites voted to amend their constitution to prevent state election officials from using private grants to administer elections.
