House Republicans Ask Trump Admin to Help Expose Biden’s Partisan ‘Get Out the Vote’ Scheme.

Congressional Republicans are intensifying an investigation into a voter mobilization program initiated by the former Biden government that they contend was a taxpayer-funded partisan operation to elect Democrats. House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil (R-WI) has requested that 14 federal agencies now under President Donald J. Trump assist with the investigation and identify documents that could shed more light on the Biden-era voter program.

Created through an executive order issued by former President Joe Biden, the federal program saw taxpayer dollars used to increase voter registration efforts. The goal was to maximize voter participation, particularly among minority groups that historically lean Democratic. Federal agencies were directed to partner with numerous leftist nonprofit organizations to offer voter registration services.

“Federal funds should not have been used to influence our elections,” Chairman Steil said in a statement. “We had hoped the Biden administration would be transparent and cooperate with our investigation by turning over their strategic plans, but that was not the case.”

Now that President Trump is in charge of the executive branch, Steil hopes new light can be shed on who in the Biden government was involved with drafting and executing his order. Steil’s requests were addressed to several agencies, including the Departments of Homeland Security (DHS), Defense (DOD), Justice (DOJ), and others, focusing on documentation related to the implementation of the executive order and the use of allocated funds for this initiative.

After being inaugurated in January, President Trump swiftly reversed Biden’s executive order. However, concerns remain that the program was so extensive, being spread across multiple federal agencies, that anti-Trump government bureaucrats may preserve some aspects of it.

New York’s High Court Strikes Down NYC Law Allowing Noncitizens to Vote.

New York state’s highest court has struck down a New York City law allowing noncitizens to vote in city elections. On Thursday, the New York Court of Appeals—the equivalent of other states’ supreme courts—ruled in a six-to-one decision that NYC’s move to amend a local election law to allow noncitizens to cast ballots for municipal contests violated the state constitution.

“We also note that, during the 1894 Constitutional Convention, the delegates debated (and rejected) resolutions identifying 16 other states that allowed voting by certain non-U.S. citizens… the debate was animated by a common understanding that the New York Constitution restricted the franchise to U.S. citizens,” the ruling states, adding: “Article II, section 1 has been amended several times since 1894, but the citizenship requirement has persisted. There is no evidence that any of the amendments changed the understanding that a voter must be a citizen to vote in New York.”

“Whatever the future may bring, the New York Constitution as it stands today draws a firm line restricting voting to citizens. Accordingly, the order of the Appellate Division insofar as appealed from should be modified, without costs, in accordance with this opinion and, as so modified, affirmed,” the majority opinion concludes.

Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella brought the lawsuit with the backing of other Republican lawmakers and public officials. They successfully argued that the state constitution bars noncitizens from voting and that New York City has no legal avenue to abrogate that constitutional provision without the document being amended by state voters.

Noncitizen voting has become a serious issue in the United States, especially at the municipal level, where illegally cast votes can easily impact small electorates. The National Pulse has extensively covered the issue, noting at least one survey indicates that noncitizen voters could also be a significant source of voter fraud at the federal level.

Three Democrats Charged With Election Fraud.

Three officials from the Democratic Party in Pennsylvania have been indicted in federal court for allegedly conspiring to unlawfully manipulate their elections by illegally adding individuals to voter rolls. Vice President of the Borough of Millbourne Council Md Nurul Hasan, Council Member Md Munsur Ali, and former Council Member Md Rafikul Islam were charged on Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on 16 counts each of election fraud for falsifying voter registrations.

According to federal prosecutors, the three men—all of Bangladeshi origin—used an online voter registration portal to inflate the voter rolls in an effort to win borough council seats during a 2021 local primary election. Both Hasan and Islam were unsuccessful, losing their primary races. Subsequently, Hasan would go on to win a council seat during the 2023 election.

Notably, Millbourne is a small locality in Pennsylvania, with a total population of just over 1,000 people—most of whom are registered as Democrats. Nearly two-thirds of the borough’s residents are South Asian, and 63.8 percent of those living there are foreign-born.

The National Pulse has previously reported on the issue of election fraud in ethnic communities in the United States. In Hamtramck, Michigan, Muslim politicians are accused of holding secret meetings where they auctioned off absentee ballots to candidates, ensuring their victory. Additionally, residents claim the city’s Muslim leaders have engaged in voter intimidation, pressuring other Muslims to back their campaigns.

NY Dems Urge Court to Allow Noncitizen Voting.

The Court of Appeals of the State of New York—the highest judicial body in the state—is hearing arguments on a contentious law allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections. Legislation passed in 2022 would permit approximately 800,000 noncitizens, who are lawful permanent residents or authorized to work in the U.S., to vote in municipal elections if they have resided in New York City for at least 30 days.

Notably, the legislation was previously invalidated by the state’s Second Judicial Department, citing violations of the New York State Constitution and Municipal Home Rule Law. The decision upheld a lower court’s ruling. Concerns were raised that these noncitizens could represent as much as 15 percent or more of the electorate in some future elections, significantly impacting local election outcomes.

The move to enfranchise foreign nationals comes despite the Democrats claiming to be concerned about potential foreign interference in U.S. elections for years. Leading figures like Representative turned Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) have argued that “We must guard against and seek to deter all attempts at foreign interference, and ensure that American voters decide American elections.”

There is strong evidence that noncitizens voting in federal elections unlawfully due to poor vetting have changed election outcomes. For instance, researchers writing in the peer-reviewed Electoral Studies journal in 2014 estimated that 6.4 percent of noncitizens voted in the 2008 election, favoring the Democrats in numbers sufficient to materially alter the composition of the Senate.

Unhinged Democrat FEC Chairwoman Refuses to Leave After Being Fired By Trump.

Ellen Weintraub, the Democrat Chairwoman of the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and outspoken critic of President Donald J. Trump, refuses to leave her office after being fired by the America First leader. First placed on the FEC in 2002 by President George W. Bush through a recess appointment to fill one of the Democratic Party seats on the Commission, Weintraub has served four terms as chair of the FEC, most recently being renamed to the position by former President Joe Biden.

On Thursday, President Trump issued a brief letter to Weintraub, informing her of her firing. “Dear Commissioner Weintraub, You are hereby removed as a Member of the Federal Election Commission effective immediately,” President Trump wrote. Notably, Weintraub has repeatedly denied and challenged President Trump’s assertions of election fraud and sought to use her position to instead investigate the America First leader—most recently over alleged hush money payments to Stormy Daniels.

In response, the Democrat chairwoman of the FEC declared in a post on X (formerly Twitter): “Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner & Chair of [the FEC]. There’s a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn’t it. I’ve been lucky to serve the American people & stir up some good trouble along the way. That’s not changing anytime soon.”

WEINTRAUB’S 23-YEAR REIGN.

The tenure of Weintraub on the FEC is one of the more controversial public appointments in the federal government, and her legal ability to hold her position has been disputed since 2007. Technically, the Democrat election commissioner’s appointment expired on April 30, 2007. However, successive presidential administrations and the U.S. Senate have either failed to nominate or confirm a successor, which has allowed Weintraub to remain on the FEC far past her term’s end date.

How Weintraub’s six-year term on the FEC dragged into a nearly 23-year reign results from how many federal commissions are structured. Commissions for government bodies like the FEC are not removed until their replacement is confirmed by the U.S. Senate. However, when it comes to nominating and appointing new FEC members, partisan politics has derailed the process in the U.S. Senate numerous times, leaving the six-person commission unable to reach a quorum and fulfill its duties.

DOJ Ends Suit Against Virginia for Removing Noncitizens from Voter Rolls.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is withdrawing its lawsuit against Virginia, initially filed by the Biden government, seeking to bar the removal of noncitizens from the Commonwealth’s voter rolls. The move comports with a number of recent legal filings ramping down the Biden government’s lawfare actions following President Donald J. Trump’s inauguration on January 20.

The lawsuit was initiated in October following Virginia’s efforts to exclude approximately 1,600 individuals identified as potential non-citizens from its voter rolls. A federal judge had previously mandated Virginia reverse this decision and reinstate those individuals onto the voter lists. However, the U.S. Supreme Court later intervened by lifting the federal judge’s injunction, effectively allowing Virginia to proceed with its maintenance program for the voter registration rolls.

This ruling enabled the state to continue its policy of excluding non-citizens from voter eligibility, aligning state and federal law.

The Department of Justice’s recent decision to dismiss its lawsuit signals an acceptance of the current legal position outlined by the Supreme Court. Without this federal case hanging over it, Virginia is now free to maintain its voter roll practices as currently implemented.

During the 2024 election, The National Pulse documented numerous instances of noncitizens unlawfully casting ballots in American state and federal elections. Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress attempted to close several legal loopholes by advancing the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act but were blocked by the then-Democrat-controlled Senate.

Two House Members Face Campaign Finance Violations.

The Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) claims two House lawmakers likely broke campaign finance laws in prior elections. In two reports released on Thursday, the OCE—a nonpartisan and independent watchdog group established by Congress in 2008—says it has “substantial reason to believe” Representatives Andy Ogles (R-TN) and Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) failed to appropriately report certain campaign contributions to circumvent election rules on contribution limits and the funding of political action committees (PACs).

According to the OCE reports, Rep. Ogles’s 2022 Congressional campaign allegedly “omitted or misrepresented required information in his financial disclosure statements or FEC candidate committee reports” and “may have accepted excessive contributions that were reported as personal loans and contributions from the candidate.”

The watchdog group claims that Ogles’s $320,000 loan reported to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for his election campaign was a ploy to cover up his acceptance of donor contributions over the legal limits. They note that they believe the Tennessee Republican lacked the financial resources at the time to make such a significant transaction. However, in a letter to the OCE, Ogles stated that the filing was incorrect and that the actual loan amount was only $20,000.

Meanwhile, Rep. Cherfilus-McCormick is accused of circumventing rules regarding campaign contributions to PACs. The report states the Florida Democrat made “payments to a state political action committee in connection with her campaign and failed to report these payments as contributions to her campaign.” Additionally, the OCE says it has found evidence that at least one individual working on Cherfilus-McCormick’s campaign was not paid with official campaign funds. She is also accused of accepting donor contributions over legal limits.

Both reports were referred to the House Ethics Committee for further investigation.

Documents Reveal AZ AG Colluded with Anti-Trump Attorney’s Non-Profit on Election Lawfare.

Former Assistant Attorney General Jeff Clark has obtained documents linking the Arizona Attorney General’s office with the States United Democracy Center—a far-left non-profit lawfare group associated with attorney Norm Eisen, a key figure in  President Donald J. Trump’s first sham impeachment. The documents appear to be a retainer agreement from States United to advise the Arizona Attorney General’s office on lawfare aimed to suppress critics of how the state conducts its elections and those who might question the results.

“This letter explains and confirms the terms and conditions under which States United Democracy Center (‘States United’) will undertake to advise the Arizona Attorney General’s Office (‘you’, ‘your’) in connection with developing legal strategies to ensure the integrity and security of elections,” the letter of understanding reads. Although the primary attorneys assigned to coordinate with the attorney general’s office are redacted, the States United letter notes other attorneys or non-attorney staff with the lawfare non-profit “may handle various portions of this matter pro bono or otherwise…”

The letter confirming the partnership was sent just nine days before Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes (D) secured a sprawling series of indictments against 18 individuals associated with President Trump over allegations they attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Notably, the grand jury empaneled by Mayes went much further than the Democrat attorney general intended, indicting both Trump campaign attorney Christina Bobb and Jenna Ellis—both of whom were told by Mayes’s office that they were not under investigation.

Meanwhile, Eisen—the executive chair of States United—has a long record of anti-Trump actions. In April 2024, The National Pulse reported that Eisen hosted a weekly conference call of globalist leaders and Deep State apparachiks to strategize on how to expand the lawfare campaign against Trump.

Woman Working for Dem Nonprofit Arrested for Registering Dead, Nonexistent Voters.

A Pennsylvania woman has been arrested and charged by the state government for registering dead and nonexistent individuals to vote in the 2024 election. The woman allegedly made the fraudulent registration in the course of her work for the New Pennsylvania Project, a Democrat-aligned nonprofit group that claims to work to increase turnout among minority voters.

According to Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer, the woman—identified as 38-year-old Jennifer Hill—fraudulently registered four individuals, including her deceased father, to vote in the 2024 election through an app created by the Pennsylvania Department of State. Additionally, Hill—through her work as a canvasser for the New Pennsylvania Project—used the app to register 310 individuals between the spring and fall of 2024. The state accepted a total of 181 of her registration submissions, while 129  were rejected for various reasons.

Hill was arrested by Pennsylvania law enforcement on December 19. Subsequently, she has been charged with forgery, tampering with public records or information, applying for registration knowing the individual is not entitled to registration, and several other crimes. Investigators discovered the voter fraud scheme after analyzing Hill’s registration submissions, revealing that she filed voter registration requests using variations of the same individual’s name but listed different addresses. Further investigation revealed no such individuals lived at the reported address.

“Miss Hill is being charged with four counts of registering people—including her dead father and a person who died in the house she currently lives in, in 2011, that she was the one who notified authorities that he was dead in that house,” Stollsteimer said at a news conference. He added: “So she knowingly registered dead people or attempted to register dead people through the state system.”

Judge Enforces Subpoena Against ActBlue, Advancing Fundraising Probe Against Dems.

A Wisconsin court decision is placing increasing scrutiny on ActBlue, a prominent Democratic fundraising platform. Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Brad D. Schimel approved a subpoena directed at ActBlue, demanding explanations concerning GOP consultant Mark Block’s claims about unauthorized donations using his email identity. This legal action is part of a broader investigation coordinated by Congress and 19 state attorneys general.

Judge Schimel rejected ActBlue’s objections, which claimed compliance with the subpoena was overly burdensome. The court granted Block and his legal team from the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) permission to pursue discovery, aiming to uncover potential fraud tied to the unauthorized donations from his old email address linked to various liberal campaigns.

ActBlue’s efforts to resist the subpoena, primarily on behalf of a purported contributor known as Bernard Cain, were unsuccessful. Judge Schimel highlighted that ActBlue operates as a contribution conduit, emphasizing the need for transparency in this case.

“Something is not right,” Judge Schimel declared when approving the subpoena. He continued: “There may be an element of fraud, or maybe it is innocent. Plaintiff has set forth enough in their complaint and in support of their subpoena to demonstrate that there may be something here.”

Block initiated legal action this fall, alleging that his identity was part of a broader conspiracy exploiting the ActBlue platform under civil racketeering laws. This case aligns with findings from the House Administration Committee, which identified numerous suspicious transactions on the platform. These transactions seemingly involved donors who lacked the financial capacity for such contributions.

Meanwhile, the investigation has gained momentum, expanding to 19 states. ActBlue has consistently denied any wrongdoing.

Additionally, House investigators have issued a subpoena to ActBlue amid broader inquiries into possible illicit foreign funding. The Treasury Department’s detection system flagged hundreds of suspicious activity reports related to the platform, prompting further legislative scrutiny.
