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.

The White House reportedly canceled several campaign calls involving President Joe Biden following his comments labeling supporters of President Donald J. Trump as “garbage.” According to guidance released by the White House the Sunday before, Biden’s schedule for Thursday, October 31, initially included participation in campaign calls. However, Biden did not take part in these calls.
Last week, Biden made headlines after a call with Voto Latino last Tuesday, where he referred to Trump supporters as “garbage” following a GOP rally in Madison Square Garden. The 81-year-old Democrat later claimed he was referencing a joke by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, in which the insult comic poked fun at Puerto Rico. Subsequently, the White House stealth-edited the official transcript of the call to support Biden’s narrative.
Despite Hinchcliffe’s joke, Trump has been endorsed by major politicians in Puerto Rico, and polls reveal that in Pennsylvania, the joke had no impact on Hispanic voting preferences.
In response to Biden’s comments, Trump incorporated a garbage truck and vest into a rally in Wisconsin, calling his supporters the “heart and soul of America.” Trump wore the vest during the rally, joking that people told him it made him look thinner.
No scheduled campaign events involving Vice President Kamala Harris are listed on Biden’s agenda before Election Day, tomorrow.
Earlier this month, at an event in New Hampshire, Biden made another contentious remark, suggesting he wanted to lock up Trump. The Trump campaign included Biden’s words in a legal filing calling for the dismissal of federal charges related to the 2020election.

Broadcaster NBC has granted the campaign of President Donald J. Trump a 90-second ad spot amig allegations the surprise appearance of Kamala Harris on Saturday Night Live (SNL) violated FCC rules. Harris’s brief appearance on SNL was for one minute and 30 seconds, allowing other presidential campaigns to request equal airtime—about 90 seconds—per FCC regulations.
Harris’sSNL sketch, featuring Maya Rudolph, concluded with both discussing the vice president’s campaign. The sketch, however, was criticized by FCC commissioner Brendan Carr, who stated before the show aired, “This is a clear and blatant effort to evade the FCC’s Equal Time rule.”
Carr also noted that SNL creator Lorne Michaels had previously stated in an interview last month that the show would not feature Harris or Trump because of the equal time rules.
Trump’s ad, meanwhile, appeared during Sunday’s NASCAR playoff broadcast. In it, Trump wore a red “Make America Great Again” cap and warned that electing Harris could lead to a “depression.” The ad urges viewers to vote.
Additionally, Trump received 60 extra seconds of airtime during NBC’s Sunday Night Football post-game coverage. The same ad from the NASCAR event aired after the game, closely following a paid campaign advertisement.

Returned ballots in Pennsylvania suggest that Republican voters are casting far more early votes than in 2022 and are leading Democrats in 40 counties, compared to just two in 2022. Over 587,000 registered Republicans have voted early in the crucial swing state, an increase of over 323,000 compared to 2022. Democrats, who are more likely to vote early, have seen a smaller increase since 2022 of just over 140,000 votes, for a total of 997,450 overall.
When looking at 2020 numbers, Republicans have 30,692 fewer ballots returned, but Democrats have a massive 721,276 fewer returned ballots. At the county level, the GOP led the Democrats in just eight counties in 2020, a number which fell to just two counties in 2022. This year, the GOP leads the Democrats in 40 counties going into tomorrow’s election.
Prior data indicates that newly registered women dominate the early voting in Pennsylvania, with many voting Democrat. As of October 30, the state had seen at least 100,000 new voters cast their ballots early in the election.
Polling puts Trump only slightly ahead of Harris in the state. The final Emerson College Polling poll released Monday, November 4, gave President Donald J. Trump 49 percent and Vice President Kamala Harris 48 percent, well within the margin of error.
Over the weekend, the Harris campaign implied it would force key counties in battleground states like Pennsylvania to keep counting votes until Harris wins.
The Trump campaign also won an important victory in the state after Democrats and police shut down lines of voters requesting absentee ballots, as a courtallowed the absentee process to be opened for several days ahead of tomorrow’s election.

A county in Washington State has refused to allow election observers to monitor the election process unless they wear COVID-19 masks despite the state repealing mask mandates over two years ago. Officials in Island County, Washington, are reportedly demanding observers wear masks. Auditor Sheilah Crider refused to let observers in after claiming that half of the staff were COVID-19 positive in August.
Despite her claims, Crider has allegedly been unable to prove to local reporters that the election office was the source of the COVID-19 infections.
Earlier this week, Island County Republicans sent a cease-and-desist letter to the Auditor calling for Crider to end the mask mandate, which they have claimed is illegal. Mask mandates were largely ended in Washington state in March 2022 except in select locations, such as long-term care homes and healthcare. But those mandates were also rescinded the following year, in 2023.
ELECTION INTEGRITY.
Election integrity remains one of the most important issues ahead of next week’s presidential election, making observers especially important. Hundreds of election officials sounded the alarm over election integrity in several key swing states, including concerns about ballot counting and chain of custody of votes.
Despite the concerns, anti-Trump officials like Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger have raised millions of dollars to thwart attempts to bolster election integrity efforts.
Democrats have also sued to halt election integrity efforts in Georgia. In August, both the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Georgia Democratic Party announced a lawsuit to halt a ruling requiring the total number of votes cast to match those counted before election results are certified.

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris can no longer count on winning in New Hampshire, as polls indicate the state is now in play ahead of next Tuesday’s election. RealClearPolitics has classified New Hampshire as a toss-up state, moving it from its previous “leans Democrat” status.
The latest New Hampshire Journal/Praecones Analytica poll shows a competitive race, with President Donald J. Trump holding a narrow lead of 50.2 percent to Harris‘ 49.8 percent.
The change in New Hampshire’s forecast implies that more than 100 Electoral College votes are now up for grabs. Although it only contributes four Electoral College votes, New Hampshire could emerge as a potential key player in determining the election.
In recent elections, New Hampshire has consistently voted Democrat. The state went for Joe Biden in 2020 by 7.2 points and more narrowly for Hillary Clinton in 2016. This trend might be tested in 2024 as the Trump campaign views the state as winnable. Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s campaign national press secretary, mentioned Harris is on the defensive in New Hampshire.
Before the latest New Hampshire Journal/Praecones Analytica data, Harris led every poll as the Democratic nominee.
Early voting suggests a very close race between Trump and Harris. So far, over 58 million early in-person and mail-in votes have been cast, 41 percent of which were registered Democrats and 40 percent of which were registered Republicans.
While more Republicans are voting early than in the past, the early voting patterns may not reflect the overall result, especially as many Republicans tend to vote on Election Day.
Some pollsters, however, predict that Trump may not only win but could win by a landslide with 300 Electoral College votes.

Howard Lutnick, co-chairman of President Donald J. Trump’s transition team, has said that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will not be head of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in a restored Trump administration. However, he defended the former Democrat’s position on vaccine safety, suggesting he wants data, not a Cabinet position.
Lutnick told CNN he had a two-and-a-half-hour meeting with RFK Jr. and that Kennedy had informed him that vaccines were being released for years without any product liability. He explained Kennedy’s concerns around the historical rate of autism in the United States, noting it now afflicts one in 34 young boys.
Despite CNN host Kaitlan Collins claiming that all vaccines are “safe,” Lutnick pushed back, asking, “How do you know they are safe?”
Lutnick confirmed that RFK Jr. will not be put in charge of HHS but said he will be granted access to data that could potentially find links between vaccines and autism. He said a future Trump administration would make companies liable for unsafe vaccines.
RFK Jr. had previously told supporters that President Trump had promised him “control” of the health agencies, including “HHS and its subagencies, CDC, FDA, NIH, and a few others, and then also the USDA.”
Last month, former CDC Director Robert Redfield backed RFK and his policies, saying, “The failing health of our kids, the needless suffering and death, can be ended by a Kennedy Commission on Childhood Chronic Disease—and the vast burden of chronic disease that now demoralizes and bankrupts our nation can disappear.”
Other members of the health establishment, however, have expressed fear of RFK’s influence, particularly regarding childhood vaccines.

Over the weekend, the campaign of Democratic candidate Kamala Harris expelled a Muslim man from a rally in Michigan, prompting the campaign of Donald J. Trump to offer him a place in a new campaign ad. Ahmed Ghanim, a Democrat and former congressional candidate, was contacted by Donald Trump’s campaign about appearing in an advertisement shortly after being ejected from a Harris rally in Michigan without explanation.
Ghanim, who had challenged a pro-Israel member of Congress earlier this year, declined the offer but has been deeply critical of the Harris campaign. He criticized Harris’s campaign for inadequate engagement with Arab and Muslim voters, noting the potential benefit for Trump.
Ghanim had been present at the rally to observe, not protest, but was escorted out by security after being directed to leave. His subsequent social media post, “No Muslims allowed at the Harris Rally in Michigan,” drew considerable attention.
Ghanim recognized the strategic timing of Trump’s outreach to him, suggesting it might influence some Muslim voters.
In September, the mayor of Hamtramck, a city in Michigan with a Muslim-majority population, stated his support for Trump. Mayor Amer Ghalib called Trump a man of principles and expressed confidence in his leadership.
Earlier this month, a group of Michigan Muslim leaders also backed Trump. Imam Belal Alzuhairi stated that Trump could stop bloodshed from occurring across the globe.

A joke about Puerto Rico made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at President Donald J. Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally has not affected Hispanic support for the America First leader in Pennsylvania. A poll conducted by Cygnal indicates no shift among Hispanicvoters in the state.
Brent Buchanan, a pollster with Cygnal, stated that Puerto Ricans—among the demographics least likely to support Republican candidates—are not expected to change their voting intentions due to Hinchcliffe’s comments. The data shows no alteration in overall Hispanic voter preferences since the event.
“The comments are less likely to sway Puerto Rican votes toward Trump and more likely to energize opposition,” Buchanan acknowledged. However, he stressed again that these voters were not likely Republican supporters to begin with.
Following the media frenzy around Hinchcliffe’s joke, Shadow Senator for Puerto Rico Zoraida Buxó endorsed Trump at a Pennsylvania rally.
Trump has seen a surge of support among Hispanics across the United States during the 2024 presidential campaign. Maria Hinojosa, a host on the publicly funded broadcaster NPR, bizarrely suggested that many Hispanics were supporting Trump because they “want to be white” last month.
Hinojosa also admitted that the Hispanic support for Trump over Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris could cost the current Vice President next week’s election.
Polling reveals that immigration could be a major factor in the surge in support for Trump. A survey released in June suggested that around two-thirds of Hispanics across America want to see illegal immigrants deported.
Under the Biden-Harris regime, millions of illegals have flooded into the country. President Trump has promised large-scale deportations if he is reelected.

Stephen K. Bannon returned to host the War Room after four months in federal prison, telling the establishment and the Democrats that he is even more focused than before, promising a “knockout blow” to the Democrats on November 5. The former Trump White House Chief Strategist went immediately on the offensive, pushing back at accusations that President Donald J. Trump and his supporters are “fascists.”
“I can tell you in coming from and being a political prisoner in a federal prison, that the young men in this country that are African-American and Hispanic detest Kamala Harris,” Bannon said.
Meanwhile, his message to former Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whom he holds responsible for putting him in prison, was: “This show has never been more powerful. The audience has never been more powerful. And we’re going to deliver a knockout blow to your progressive insanity on the Fifth of November.”
You commies tried to break him… You tried to break the movement. STEVE BANNON has returned! WE WON’T TAKE A SINGLE BACK STEP. Black and Hispanic man here, he’s right, we detest Kamala Harris. My friend, mentor and brother in arms to save this country! We’re in a dogfight… pic.twitter.com/RTY8AuVljh
Despite only being released hours before the October 29 broadcast, Bannon said he was “more energized and more focused than I’ve ever been in my entire life.” He noted that the Harris campaign’s ‘Joy’ message was “ill-defined” and that the Democrats have pivoted to a “Night falls on America” narrative, claiming the Trump movement is now a fascist movement. “That is a bald-faced lie, and it’s a dangerous lie,” he said.
Bannon was eligible for early release under the First Step Act in September but was kept in federal prison for his entire term after he was convicted of contempt of Congress for refusing to obey the corrupt January 6 Committee.
