Election Judge Charged with Felony for Accepting Unregistered Votes.

A Minnesota election judge faces criminal charges following allegations of allowing people not properly registered before the 2024 elections to vote. Timothy Michael Scouton, who operated as the head election judge for Badoura Township Precinct in Hubbard County, has been charged with two felonies: accepting votes from unregistered individuals and neglecting his duties as an election official.

An election auditor alerted authorities that at least 11 individuals were permitted to vote despite not completing the required registration forms intended to verify voter identity. Another judge working with Scouton on election night informed the police that Scouton instructed her to bypass the proper registration procedures.

Local officials, including the Minnesota Secretary of State, have expressed concern over the allegations. The Secretary of State’s office described the charges as “very serious,” emphasizing the importance of all election judges adhering to election laws.

Election fraud and voter integrity were a major issue during the 2024 presidential race, with states purging many ineligible voters leading up to the vote. North Carolina announced it purged over 747,000 ineligible voters in September, which included nearly 200,000 deceased people. Texas, likewise, stated they removed over a million voters from the state rolls, including illegal aliens.

However, the Biden-Harris Department of Justice (DOJ) issued guidelines for state and local officials that one former DOJ attorney said were tantamount to political intimidation. Gene Hamilton, a former attorney with the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security, stated that the guidelines discourage officials from effectively ensuring that only eligible voters can participate in the election.

The New York Times Ran Cover for Democrat Election Deniers.

Democrat-aligned corporate media mainstays, like the New York Times, are changing their tune on “election deniers.” The liberal newspaper claimed in 2020 that challenging election results threatened democracy. However, the Times is now downplaying Democrat challenges to the 2024 election.

In Pennsylvania, the Times is spinning Senator Bob Casey Jr.’s (D-PA) attempt to overturn the election results in his failed re-election bid as a “twist,” portraying the decision of several Pennsylvania counties to count legally disqualified mail-in ballots as a mere difference of opinion. However, the actions of election officials in Bucks County—and several other localities—are a direct and deliberate violation of a recent state Supreme Court ruling that held that mail-in ballots lacking the proper signatures, dating, and return address are not to be counted:

The National Pulse reported last week that Bucks County Commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia openly stated her intent to violate the law and count the disqualified ballots during a meeting of the county’s Election Board. “I think we all know that precedent by a court doesn’t matter anymore in this country,” she declared last Thursday, continuing: “People violate laws any time they want. So, for me, if I violate this law, it’s because I want a court to pay attention. There’s nothing more important than counting votes.”

Critics of the Times’ coverage argue the newspaper is downplaying the significance of the Democratic Party’s defiance of court rulings, alleging it is a very lenient portrayal compared to the attacks leveled against actions taken by Republicans after the 2020 election.

Despite trailing by around 24,000 votes, Sen. Casey Jr. has refused to concede the race, which has been called for his challenger, Dave McCormick, by the Associated Press and several other major news networks.

WATCH: Dems Admit to Breaking Law to STEAL PA Senate Race.

Democrats on the Bucks County, Pennsylvania election board are attempting to include the tabulation of mail-in ballots where voters failed to sign one of the necessary boxes. The five-to-two Democrat-controlled State Supreme Court ruled prior to the 2024 election that these types of ballots were not to be counted.

Despite the court ruling, the Bucks County Election Board is including the disqualified ballots in their county over the objection of its one Republican member. Led by Diane Ellis-Marseglia, the board appears intent on breaking the law to push incumbent Senator Bob Casey Jr. ahead of his Republican challenger Dave McCormick. Numerous media outlets have declared the latter the winner, and McCormick currently leads by over 25,000 votes.

“I think we all know that precedent by a court doesn’t matter anymore in this country,” Ellis-Marseglia declared at Thursday’s board meeting, apparently referencing the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. She added: “People violate laws any time they want. So, for me, if I violate this law, it’s because I want a court to pay attention. There’s nothing more important than counting votes.”

The actions taken by Ellis-Marseglia and her fellow Democrats in Pennsylvania—possibly under the guidance of Democratic Party election lawyer Marc Elias—appear to be a flagrant attempt to undermine the law and U.S. election results. Notably, in Arizona, Michigan, and Georgia—among other states—President Donald J. Trump and his allies have faced prosecution over attempts to substitute slates of state electors. The latter is arguably legitimate and legal under the color of law, while Ellis-Marseglia and the Bucks County Election Board openly admit they are intentionally breaking the law.

Democrat Allegedly Circulates Fraudulent Ballots in Rhode Island.

A Rhode Island state lawmaker is being accused of producing and distributing a sample ballot that is made to look like an official state election ballot—causing confusion among voters. Only Democrat candidates are visible on the ballot, with the lines for candidates representing other political parties being blanked out entirely.

State Representative Michelle McGaw allegedly distributed a Democratic Party sample ballot with markings that closely resemble the state printed ballots—including the state seal and the wording “State of Rhode Island Official Ballot.” Anthony D’Ellena, Vice Chairman of the Narragansett Republican Town Committee and McGaw’s election opponent, says he’s contacted the Rhode Island Secretary of State regarding the matter but has not received a response.

Patricia Morgan, the former Republican minority leader in the Rhode Island State House and current candidate for Congress, supports D’Ellena’s assertion of potential ballot fraud.

“My campaign has received disturbing reports of official ballots being used to mislead voters in Portsmouth. Current State Representative Michelle McGaw and the wife of former RI Senator Seveney have been stationed outside polling locations, distributing official Rhode Island ballots that are purposely defaced,” Morgan wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter). She added: “These ballots have Democrats pre-selected, while Republican candidates’ names are whited out, making it impossible for voters to make an informed choice.”

According to Rhode Island General Law § 17-19-43, it is a crime to tamper with or deface a ballot. “Every person who willfully and without lawful authority destroys, secretes, removes, defaces, alters, tampers, or meddles with a sample ballot, shall be guilty of a felony,” the law reads.

Voting Machine Errors Disrupt Voting in Another PA County.

Technical issues in part of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, caused significant delays, holding up would-be voters in West Pittston’s Ward 2 for nearly two hours. According to the Judge of Elections for Ward 2, the machines displayed an error message when polls opened.

While technicians worked to fix the issue, around 100 voters were issued emergency ballots to complete by hand. Unlike provisional ballots, these emergency ballots are treated the same as machine-cast votes, ensuring they are counted in the final tally. By 9 AM, workers resolved the technical issue, allowing the machines to resume normal operation.

Issues with voting machines and tabulators have also been reported in Pennsylvania’s Cambria County, Michigan’s Bay County, Virginia’s Caroline County, two New York precincts, and Arizona’s Apache County, with further issues rumored elsewhere.

Additionally, polling sites in Fulton County, Georgia, were briefly abandoned after receiving several bomb threats.

VA County Switches To Paper Ballots After Machines Breakdown.

At least one voting machine in a Virginia county has been reported to have malfunctioned and shut down. The local elections board chairman confirmed that voters have been asked to switch to emergency paper ballots.

John Nunnall, Chairman of the Caroline County Elections Board, stated that the voting machine went down in the Fort Royal precinct and that the voting machine was being fixed for a second time.

Journalist Kyle Becker reports that Nunnally said he has a spare voting machine on standby and will be heading to Fort Royal to access and fix the issue.

While Virginia was a big win for President Joe Biden in 2020, polling suggests that the race between President Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris could be much tighter in the state this year.

The report from Virginia follows multiple other reports of malfunctioning voting machines, particularly ballot-counting machines.

AZ Machines Went Down, Navajo Nation President Reports.

Voting machine issues are reportedly causing disruptions at polling locations in Apache County, Arizona, with some voters being turned away, according to Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren. In a social media post, President Nygren urged voters not to leave polling sites without casting their ballots, writing, “DON’T GET TURNED AWAY FROM THE POLLS!”

“Apache County voters, we understand that voting machines are down, and some voters are being turned away without casting a ballot in the federal and state elections,” he wrote, urging voters in areas experiencing issues to request a provisional ballot and present a government-issued photo ID to ensure their vote is counted.

“If you are denied a provisional ballot, contact the Native Vote Hotline,” he said, stressing that voters should stay at their polling location until they have voted.

REPORT: Voting Machines Went Down in Two New York Precincts.

Voting machines and ballot tabulators are reportedly not functioning in several heavily Jewish areas in New York state. A precinct in Scarsdale, New York, saw its two voting machines fail as polls opened this morning. Meanwhile, several ballot scanners in Park Slope, Brooklyn, are reportedly broken, according to locals who went to cast their vote in the presidential race on Tuesday morning.

“We were told after filling in our ballots that all scanners were broken, so we should put our ballots in the emergency ballot boxes below the scanners, and they would be scanned in late,” Park Slope resident Miyuki Miyagi said.

“I didn’t even think to wait or ask for an alternative way to vote. The emergency ballot boxes were quite full already, too,” Miyagi added.

Park Slope is also home to a significant number of the hundreds of thousands of Jews who call Brooklyn home, as is Scarsdale.  The war between Israel and Hamas has been a major issue on the campaign trail, particularly for Democrat Kamala Harris, who has a significant number of allies who are anti-Israel.

The National Pulse reported earlier this morning that Cambria County, Pennsylvania, suffered problems with its electronic vote tabulators, forcing the locality to switch to paper ballots and hand tabulation.

PA County Switches To Paper Ballots After Machines Fail on Election Day.

Pennsylvania’s Cambria County has been forced to make an election day switch to paper ballots following widespread issues with voting machines in the heavily Republican locality.

The technology issue predominately impacts ballot scanners, meaning the printed electronic votes must be hand-counted for tabulation.

“The Cambria County Board of Election learned early this morning that a software malfunction in the County’s Electronic Voting System has prevented voters from scanning their ballots. This should not discourage voters from voting at their voting precincts,” Cambria County solicitor Ron Repak said in a statement early Tuesday morning. He added: “The Board has filed a Court Order extending the time to vote within Cambria County. No one should be turned away from the polls if they wish to cast their vote. Cambria County Board of Elections took measures to have IT specialists called to review the software issue. There is a process in place for issues of this nature.”

The Cambria County official claims that “[a]ll completed ballots will be accepted, secured, and counted by the Board of Elections.”

“The County Board of Elections has express voting machine at precinct locations to continue to allow voting electronically, while still allowing hand ballots to be cast,” Repak said, adding that all votes will be counted.

Meanwhile, the Pennsylvania Department of State issued a statement saying it is aware of the situation in Cambria County and is working with local officials on a solution. “Voters are continuing to vote by paper ballot, in accordance with normal operations, while the county resolves the issue with in-precinct scanning,” it said in a post on X (formerly Twitter), adding: “We are working with the County to resolve this technical matter and remain committed to ensuring a free, fair, safe, and secure election.”

Thousands of Overseas Ballots Contested in Pennsylvania Election.

Election integrity advocates are challenging thousands of overseas votes in Pennsylvania, arguing people who are not residents of the state or members of the military are ineligible to cast ballots there under state law. However, federal law allows Americans overseas to vote in the last state where they were resident if they are unsure of when they will return to the U.S.

More than 4,000 overseas votes face challenges across 14 Pennsylvania counties, many by the Election Research Institute. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) argues that these challenges are baseless, asserting that U.S. federal law overseas voting trumps Pennsylvania law requiring voters to be residents. ACLU lawyers have issued a letter to all 67 counties urging a summary rejection of such challenges.

Recent legal decisions by Pennsylvania’s state supreme court and the U.S. Supreme Court have led to additional stipulations regarding mail-in ballots, including requirements for correct dating and protective sleeves.

In October, five Republican Congressmen launched a legal challenge against overseas voting oversight in Pennsylvania, complaining the swing state’s officials are facilitating fraud by having “issued directives and guidance to county officials to exempt [Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act] applicants entirely from any verification requirements.”
