Election Integrity

Anti-Trump Election Chief is Raising MILLIONS to STOP Election Integrity Efforts.

Georgia’s top election official, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, is fundraising for a nonprofit lawfare group that he claims will target any activists or election officials who raise concerns regarding voter fraud. Election Defense Fund, Inc.—a 501(c)4 nonprofit organization—was founded in 2023 and appears to be run by Ryan Germany, the former General Counsel for  Raffensperer.

In a recent fundraising email for the Election Defense Fund, Raffensperger—who says he intends to raise $5 million for the group before the November election—specifically targeted Georgia State Election Board members Dr. Jan Johnson, Janelle King, and Rick Jeffries. The three election officials recently spearheaded several major election integrity efforts and changes to the state’s election rules regarding ballot counting.

“Election deniers and conspiracy theorists have taken their anger to new levels, employing a variety of tactics including intimidation, legal challenges, and rule changes,” Raffensperger writes. “In Georgia they have threatened, harassed, and sued election officials. And as you know, most recently the Georgia State Election Board was taken over by three individuals who have pledged to put partisanship over sworn duty,” he alleges.

While Raffensperger’s involvement in an outside lawfare group is concerning on its own, Germany’s involvement raises additional problems. During the 2020 presidential election, Germany stonewalled attempts to audit election results in Fulton County, drawing the ire of President Donald J. Trump.

A phone call between Trump and Germany later resulted in one of the charges brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in her RICO prosecution of the former president and his allies. However, in March of this year, Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee dismissed that specific charge—along with several others.

Kamala Insists She’s Not on Weed Gummies.

Vice President Kamala Harris denied using marijuana-infused “gummies” to manage the stress of her presidential campaign during a town hall in Royal Oak, Michigan, on Monday. Harris was pressed on stress management by Kennedy clan member and former First Lady of California Maria Shriver—who moderated the event.

Shriver rattled off a series of stress relief strategies she had heard from her friends. “‘I have to turn off the news, I can’t read anything, I’m meditating, I’m doing yoga. I’m so anxious … I’m eating gummies.’ All kinds of things,” Shriver said before asking Harris: “What are you doing?”

“I’m not eating gummies,” Harris cackled in response.


While the Biden-Harris government has moved to lift some federal restrictions on the drug cannabis, the 2024 Democratic Party presidential nominee has faced backlash over her aggressive prosecution of drug cases as a district attorney.

Despite her past stance as a prosecutor, Harris has backed the nationwide legalization of marijuana. Last week, she publicly supported the move toward legalizing the drug across the country in the hopes the move will appeal to young black male voters.

During the 2020 presidential election, Harris acknowledged using marijuana in college—triggering accusations of hypocrisy, given her stance while serving as a prosecutor. Her father, a Jamaican Marxist, also publicly chastised her for encouraging negative stereotypes about Jamaicans and drug abuse.

Over 15 Million People Have Already Voted in America’s Presidential Election.

With just two weeks until Election Day, over 15 million people have already voted in the U.S. election. According to data from the University of Florida’s Election Lab, five million people have voted early in person, and another 10 million have voted by mail. There are over 56 million mail-in ballot requests, meaning around 46 million remain outstanding.

During the 2020 presidential election, over 65.5 million mail-in ballots were cast. In total, 2020 saw over 155 million people vote, the highest turnout—by percentage—since 1900. While turnout in the 2024 election may not match that seen in 2020, early indications suggest the presidential contest will still see a significant number of votes cast—and that should actually bode well for former President Donald J. Trump.

ARIZONA & NEVADA.

In Arizona, early vote totals show Republicans outpacing Democrats and Independents in terms of ballots returned by low-propensity voters. These Americans, who have not voted or only voted once in the last several elections, are anticipated to play an outsized role in the 2024 election and determine whether President Trump or his Democratic Party opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, takes the White House.

Similarly to Arizona, Nevada’s early vote appears to be breaking fairly heavily towards Republicans—while Democrats hold the advantage on the state’s mail-in ballots.

Again—like Arizona—Republicans in Nevada appear to be moving low-propensity voters, while Democrats seem to be mostly reliant on voters who have consistently voted in the past several elections.

PENNSYLVANIA.

Meanwhile, one state where turnout appears to be lagging—and where lower turnout could be a good sign for Republicans—is Pennslyvania. As of noon on October 21, Republicans continue to outpace Democrats in absentee ballot requests. Interestingly, the total number of requests among Democrats is currently down from their 2020 totals by around 1.2 million, while Republicans are only off by about 250,000.

Kamala Kicks Christians Out of Event: ‘You Guys Are at the Wrong Rally.’

Vice President Kamala Harris, the 2024 Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, publicly dismissed two Christian rallygoers during a rally in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. Grant Beth and Luke Polaske, students at the University of Wisconsin’s LaCrosse campus, attended Harris’s rally—and after a Democratic presidential nominee praised abortion—the two can be hard shouting “Christ is Lord.” A briefly startled Harris snaps back, “Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally,” while appearing to form the shape of two ‘horns’ with one of her hands.

While this part of the exchange with Harris was caught on video, the rally crowd’s interactions with Beth and Polaske didn’t end with the Democratic Party nominee’s quip. Both were booed and heckled by the crowd, though they insisted during an appearance on Fox & Friends Weekend that they were “there for the right reasons.”

“I was pushed by an elderly woman. We were heckled at, we were cursed at, we were mocked, and that’s the biggest thing for me personally,” Grant Beth said regarding the aftermath. “Jesus was mocked. You know, His disciples were mocked.”

For Christian members of the Democratic Party, Harris’s remarks appear to suggest they and their beliefs are not welcome—and consequently, they would be more at home with President Donald J. Trump and his supporters.

A CHRISTIAN CREDAL AFFIRMATION.

The Kingship of Christ is a common phrase and declaration in Christianity—with variations including “Christ is King” and the announcement that “He is the Prince of Peace.” In addition, the phrase “Jesus is Lord” is actually a Christian credal affirmation—a declaration of one’s belief in the dual nature of Christ as both man and God.

The phrase is primarily attributed to Saint Paul and his letters to various Christian groups found in the Bible, with no less than five passages specifically referencing the phrase. These include 1 Corinthians 12:3, Romans 10:9-13, Philippians 2:11, 1 Corinthians 15:3-7, and Romans 1:3-4.

Kamala Flip Flops on Fracking Pledge Just Weeks Before Polling Day.

Vice President Kamala Harris is again reversing course on her stance regarding hydraulic fracturing—a.k.a fracking—just two-and-a-half weeks before the 2024 presidential election. The Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, according to an environmental policy staffer on her campaign, now no longer supports the expansion of fracking leases in the United States—a rejection of a policy stance Harris herself has touted on the campaign trail.

“Just to be clear, Vice President Harris hasn’t said anything that the administration hasn’t already said. She is not promoting expansion,” the anonymous staffer said in an exchange with POLITICO. The Harris campaign policy advisor added: “She’s just said that they wouldn’t ban fracking and the fact that anyone could look up is that the IRA required leases, and that was not something she promoted.”

The National Pulse reported in late August that Harris—a long-time opponent of fracking and American energy independence—was misleading members of the corporate media regarding her stance on the fossil fuel extraction method. During a softball interview with CNN, Harris claimed she “made [it]t clear on the debate stage in 2020 that I would not ban fracking.”

However, during her failed presidential primary run in 2019, Harris told a CNN town hall there is “no question I’m in favor of banning fracking,” vowing she would begin the process on “day one” of a Harris presidency. She bragged this was “something [she had] taken on in California,” where she was a Senator and Attorney General.

Harris had repeatedly and falsely claimed she made her stance on fracking known during the 2020 vice presidential debate. However, Harris only stated that “Joe Biden will not end fracking” and “the American people know that Joe Biden will not ban fracking.”

Could Nikki Haley Be an October Surprise?

Nikki Haley is in talks to join President Donald J. Trump on the campaign trail, to appeal to soft-Republican and women voters. While specific plans have not been finalized, it is anticipated they may appear together at a town hall event later this month. This event could potentially involve Fox News host Sean Hannity.

The Trump campaign has worked to close the gap with Vice President Kamala Harris in terms of support among women voters. As part of the effort, Trump has held town halls moderated by female political figures since August.

After Haley ended a personally bruising primary campaign as the last Republican contender against Trump, she belatedly endorsed him, speaking at the Republican National Convention in July. However, she has not publicly appeared with Trump since then.

During the Republican presidential primary, Haley relied predominantly on moderate and, in states with open primaries, Democratic voters to keep her long-shot bid for the party’s nomination alive. Along with Haley’s alignment with the anti-Trump Kochs, her campaign’s strategy to cultivate anti-Trump Democrats became a point of tension for many Republicans.

While suggesting on her new SiriusXM satellite radio program last month that tensions still exist between her and Trump, Haley affirmed she is backing the Republican nominee in November.

The Trump campaign is also aware of outreach efforts by Vice President Kamala Harris, who is attempting to sway Haley’s former supporters. Harris’s team has emphasized courting Republicans, going so far as to tout endorsements from the deeply unpopular former Republican Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter, former Representative Liz Cheney.

Family of Woman Murdered by Illegal Migrant Refutes Kamala’s Border Claims.

The family of Rachel Morin expressed strong disapproval of border czar Vice President Kamala Harris following her comments on Morin’s murder by an illegal alien. In an interview with Brett Baier on Fox News, the Democratic presidential candidate refused to apologize to the relatives of women murdered by illegals after the Biden-Harris government terminated Donald Trump era border control policies, such as ‘Remain in Mexico,’ only saying she is “sorry for [their] loss.”

Baier mentioned other cases, including those of Jocelyn Nungaray, 12, and Laken Riley, 22, who were also killed by illegal aliens. Harris claimed that Donald Trump blocked a “bipartisan” border security bill, although the bill’s usefulness in tackling illegal immigration is dubious. Patty Morin, Rachel Morin’s mother, directly refuted Harris’s remarks, stating that her daughter’s death occurred before the possible implementation of the bill in any case.

“Our family and others affected by crimes related to illegal immigration need solutions, not apologies,” she said. “The [Biden-Harris government’s] rollback on border policies allowed these crimes to happen.”

Rachel Morin’s body was found last year along a Maryland hiking trail, a day after she disappeared. Victor Martinez Hernandez, a migrant from El Salvador, has been charged with her murder and rape. His background includes accusations related to a murder in El Salvador and an attack on a mother and her child in Los Angeles in early 2023.

BACKGROUND.

Earlier this year, Biden-Harris Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas rejected responsibility for Rachel Morin’s murder, despite the DHS failing to stop Martinez Hernandez from entering the country after he had already entered illegally four times.

Patty Morin was among the mothers of migrant murder victims who spoke alongside President Donald J. Trump in Arizona in August to share their stories near the U.S.-Mexico border.

The Biden-Harris regime’s failed border policies have allowed millions of illegals into the United States, including over 13,000 convicted murderers.

Men’s Mag ‘Maxim’ Endorses Trump.

The popular men’s magazine Maxim announced late Thursday it is endorsing former President Donald J. Trump in the 2024 election. In the closing months of the presidential race, Trump has seen a surge in support among male voters. Conversely, his opponent, Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, appears to be hemorrhaging support among male voters—especially young black and Hispanic men.

Maxim‘s endorsement was made through a short post on X (formerly Twitter), stating: “Maxim endorses Donald J. Trump for President.” It was accompanied by a photo of the Republican presidential nominee sitting in a blue Lamborghini Diablo along with First Lady Melania Trump. The magazine has not published a more detailed endorsement to accompany the social media post.

MALE VOTERS.

While the magazine’s decision to back Trump may not come as a surprise to many, the move does underscore the Harris campaign’s continued struggles to win over male voters. The Democratic Party’s 2024 presidential nominee is scrambling to recover support among young black men in Philadelphia. In recent days, Harris’s campaign has quickly shifted resources from Wisconsin to Pennsylvania to fund ads on local Philadelphia hip-hop radio stations.

Earlier this year, Democrat strategist James Carville—who served as a close advisor to former President Bill Clinton—blasted his party’s elites for ignoring men, warning their message had become “too feminine.”

“If you listen to Democratic elites—NPR is my go-to place for that—the whole talk is about how women, and women of color, are going to decide this election,” Carville said while speaking with New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd. He added: “I’m like: ‘Well, 48 percent of the people that vote are males. Do you mind if they have some consideration?’”

A New York Prisoner, Hailing from New Jersey, Could Swing Alaska’s U.S. House Race… You Read that Right.

Eric Hafner, a 33-year-old New Jersey resident who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence in New York for threatening and menacing local elected officials, could play a determining role in the race for Alaska’s at-large seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Alaska’s elections use a ranked-choice voting system, which arguably cost Republicans the U.S. House seat in a September 2022 special election following the death of longtime Congressman Don Young (R-AK).

The November ballot in Alaska will feature just one Republican candidate, Nicholas Begich, who hails from a longtime political dynasty based in Anchorage. During the 2022 special election, Begich and former Governor Sarah Palin both appeared on the ballot, leading to a degree of confusion, with some voters leaving their second-choice ranking inadvertently blank. Meanwhile, the incumbent, Rep. Mary Peltola (D-AK), will have to contend with a second Democrat in Eric Hafner, who is known in the federal prison system as Inmate 00932-005.

A perennial candidate who has run for office in various states, including Hawaii and Oregon, Hafner’s Alaska candidacy has survived two Democratic Party-brought court challenges. He qualified for the state’s August primary ballot, where he finished in sixth place out of twelve candidates with 467 votes. However, after the third and fourth-place primary finishers—both Republicans—dropped out of the race, Hafner qualified as a candidate on the state’s general election ballot as a top four vote-getter.

“The chances of Eric Hafner having an impact on this election are legitimate and real,” Republican strategist Matt Shuckerow told the New York Times. The form campaign manager for Dan Sullivan added: “This is an extremely tight race, and every vote will count.”

Democrats worry Hafner could draw several percentage points of Democratic Party voters during the November election. Even if a fraction of those leave their second choice blank instead of choosing Peltola, the Congressman could very easily lose her re-election bid.

Fani Willis Is Attempting to Restart Trump Prosecution, Asks Appeals Court to Restore Six Charges.

Disgraced Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is attempting to restart her RICO prosecution of President Donald J. Trump over allegations he and his campaign interfered in Georgia’s 2020 presidential election. In two rulings earlier this year, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee dismissed nine of the 41 charges filed by Willis against Trump and his codefendants. However, Willis is now asking a Georgia appellate court to reinstate six counts.

Judge McAfree tossed out the six charges in question in a March ruling. According to the judge, Willis and her prosecutors had failed to provide specificity regarding the six counts, effectively denying Trump and his codefendants the right to prepare an adequate defense.

However, Willis contends in her filing with the appellate court that her office “more than sufficiently placed (Trump and his five codefendants) on notice of the conduct at issue and allowed them to prepare an intelligent defense to the charges.”

“The indictment included an abundance of context and factual allegations about the solicitations at issue, including when the requests were made, to whom the requests were made and the manner in which the requests were made,” Willis continued in her filing.

Willis is not challenging the additional charges thrown out by McAfee in September. In that ruling, the judge determined that three of the charges—two of which applied to Trump—were outside the District Attorney’s jurisdiction and needed to be removed from the indictment.

Meanwhile, Willis herself continues to battle for control of the case. Currently, a Georgia appeals court is considering whether the Democrat District Attorney should be disqualified from the RICO prosecution following revelations she engaged in and attempted to cover up a romantic relationship with one of her appointed prosecutors, Nathan Wade.
