Soros-Funded Fake News Group Spent Millions Supporting Kamala on Facebook.

An alleged media organization funded by leftist billionaire George Soros spent $9 million on digital Facebook ads supporting Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 presidential campaign. Courier Newsroom, a Democrat dark money group that purports to be a network of local news outlets, is behind the ad campaign launched in August.

The ads primarily promote Democratic candidates, including Harris—though some also attack President Donald J. Trump over issues such as abortion and access to contraception. While Democrat and Republican political action committees (PACs) can run their own digital ads on Facebook, the social media platform labels the content as coming from a political organization and requires a disclaimer identifying the group behind the message.

However, Courier Newsroom is able to skirt this requirement by submitting its ads through a separate portal for media news outlets despite their clear partisan content. Additionally, while election and candidate PACs must disclose their donors publicly through the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Courier Newsroom is not subject to the same rules.

The Democratic dark money ad campaign has spent a total of $9.2 million since August 3, 2024, focused predominantly on the key battleground states of Arizona, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and North Carolina. While the group’s spending may appear paltry compared to the hundreds of millions being spent on television advertising, digital ads are relatively cheap and can still reach large audiences online. In addition, Courier Newsroom appears to have used propriety data to micro-target its Facebook ads in an effort to influence young women.

In April, The National Pulse reported that Tara McGowan, founder of Courier Newsroom and its parent company Good Information Inc., had made almost 20 visits to the Biden-Harris White House. The meetings have raised concerns regarding potential election coordination.

California’s Conservative Exodus May Hand Trump Nevada.

Former Californians could significantly influence Nevada’s political landscape in the 2024 election. Many people have moved from California to Nevada, often due to dissatisfaction with California’s far-left policies. This internal migration appears to be shifting Nevada’s voter demographics toward the Republican Party.

Early voting data in Nevada shows a notable increase in Republican participation, with registered Republicans casting 405,602 ballots against 304,614 registered Democrats. This in-person turnout has surprised many, reversing the typical early voting advantage usually held by Democrats.

Nearly 20 percent of Nevada’s population now consists of former Californians, who have been moving there in significant numbers since 2020. This demographic shift coincides with a decrease in the Nevada Democratic Party’s lead in registered voters. The number of non-affiliated voters has also increased, leading to a more competitive political environment.

Jeff Stone, a former California legislator now serving in Nevada, notes Nevada’s appeal to those seeking an escape from California’s political climate, dominated by Governor Gavin Newsom and a Democratic supermajority.

Nevada’s six electoral votes could play a critical role in the 2024 presidential race. Winning Nevada might help President Donald J. Trump secure an Electoral College majority without needing Pennsylvania, Michigan, or Wisconsin.

Nate Silver Accuses Pollsters of Bias.

Election data guru and statistician Nate Silver—the founder of FiveThirtyEight—is accusing major public pollsters of “herding” their survey results to keep President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris within a point or two of each other in the 2024 presidential race. According to Silver, it is statistically irregular for a single pollster to consistently show back-and-forth point leads between candidates, which suggests to him that the public polling firms are manipulating their results.

“I kind of trust pollsters less,” Silver says on the latest episode of his podcast. “They all, every time a pollster [says] ‘Oh, every state is just plus-one, every single state’s a tie,’ No! You’re f**king herding! You’re cheating!”

“Your numbers aren’t all going to come out at exactly one-point leads when you’re sampling 800 people over dozens of surveys,” Silver adds.

One pollster who especially drew Silver’s ire is Emerson College, which he suspects of herding most of their final run of polls. He vented, “You are lying! You’re putting your f**king finger on the scale!”

“Herding” is when a pollster uses their own and others’ prior polls to model or inform their current surveys—artificially creating a tighter contest than what the reality may be.

Currently, Silver’s own model has Trump at just over a 55 percent chance of winning the 2024 presidential election. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is at 44.2 percent odds of victory.

Additionally, Silver appears to believe there is an increasing chance of a split in the so-called ‘Blue Wall’ for Democrats—which includes Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. If Pennsylvania falls to Trump and the Republican nominee sweeps the Sun Belt states, it is almost certain he will win the election.

Final Emerson Poll Hands Trump Six of Seven Swing States — By Razor-Thin Margins.

Former President Donald J. Trump leads Vice President Kamala Harris in six of seven swing states when leaners are included in Emerson College Polling Center’s final poll. However, the margins are razor-thin, with five of Trump’s six leads under one percent.

Trump’s strongest lead is in Arizona, where he is up by 2.1 points. This falls to 0.7 in Pennsylvania, 0.5 in Georgia, 0.4 in North Carolina, 0.3 in Wisconsin, and a minuscule 0.1 in Nevada. Harris leads in Michigan by 1.6 points.

Results without leaners are also very mixed: Trump leads by two points in Arizona, and by one point in Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. The race is a dead heat in Nevada and Wisconsin, and in Michigan, Harris holds a two-point lead.

Emerson’s results suggest a battle of the sexes may decide the presidential contest, with men breaking for Trump and women breaking for Harris in all seven states. Men break more strongly for the America First leader than women break for the Democratic candidate in every case—but women have outpaced men in early voting turnout so far, at 54 percent to 43.6 percent.

Missouri Sues Biden-Harris DOJ Over Election Interference.

Missouri’s Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft and Attorney General Andrew Bailey are suing the Biden-Harris Department of Justice (DOJ) over allegations that the federal government is interfering in the state’s election process. The lawsuit claims the DOJ is dispatching unauthorized monitors to polling locations in St. Louis in contravention of several federal statutes and the Supreme Court’s Shelby County v. Holder decision.

“To secure elections, Missouri exercised that traditional authority by enacting a law that strictly limits who, besides voters, can be present in a polling location,” the court filing states, adding: “Poll monitors employed by DOJ are not on that list. Yet without specifically citing any federal authority authorizing its actions, DOJ announced on Friday November 1 its intent to displace Missouri law and place unauthorized poll monitors in polling locations in the City of St. Louis.”

Ashcroft and Bailey note in the filing that the Biden-Harris DOJ attempted a similar move during the 2022 midterm elections. However, the DOJ reversed its decision after Ashcroft argued in a letter that they lacked statutory authority.

“No one is above the law,” the Missouri Secretary of State said in a statement on Monday. He added: “The law clearly and specifically limits who may be in polling places and this action by the DOJ is not allowed. Once again the federal government is attempting to illegally interfere in Missouri’s elections.”

“Two years ago, we met with the DOJ. We showed them the law and explained that they have no jurisdiction to interfere in Missouri elections. Now they are doing the same thing; trying to go through the back door by contacting local election officials and making false jurisdictional claims for access rather than contacting my office directly,” Ashcroft continued before concluding: “It would be highly inappropriate for federal agents to violate the law by intimidating Missouri voters and harassing poll workers.”

Leftist Commentator Threatens to Kill Herself On Air if Trump Wins.

Progressive “comedian” and podcaster Francesca Fiorentini is illustrating just how extreme the leftist meltdown may be if President Donald J. Trump wins the 2024 election. During a recent appearance on The Sun‘s ‘Never Mind the Ballots’ with host Harry Cole, Fiorentini darkly joked she’d “drink cyanide on air and just podcast into the night” if Trump bests Vice President Kamala Harris.

When Cole pressed what the progressive left will actually do in reaction to a Trump victory, Fiorentini stressed they’d keep fighting—though she demurred when pressed if she would accept Trump as the legitimate president. The leftist comedian argued that resisting Trump and his judicial nominees is the paramount cause for progressives, suggesting Republican abortion laws are killing women.

“Women are dying right now from preventable infections related to miscarriages. Mothers, two women we know this week, died in Texas because they were suffering miscarriages. They had an infection, and they needed treatment immediately,” she claimed, alleging: “They were turned away from emergency rooms in Texas because there was a fetal heartbeat and so no doctor could attend to them until there was no more fetal heartbeat. Those women lost their life.”

“We’re voting for our human rights. Because women all around this country, their lives are in peril,” Fiorentini continued, claiming that women have been reduced to being second-class citizens.

Democrats have sought to turn abortion access into a wedge issue in the 2024 election, coordinating with activists and nonprofits to place abortion rights on several state ballots across the country. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign sought to turn a Georgia woman’s death into an attack line against Trump—even though the woman died from the abortion procedure itself.

Harris Camp Implies They’ll Keep Counting Votes Until They Win.

Vice President Kamala Harris‘s presidential campaign is implying they will attempt to force key counties in battleground states to keep counting votes until they attain victory. In a recent press call, a senior Harris campaign official emphasized Democrats would work to ensure they hit their ballot marks in certain localities even if President Donald J. Trump declares victory on election night.

The official, who requested anonymity, said such a move by Trump “won’t work.” They added: “He did this before. It failed.”

The Harris campaign says it is focused on maximizing their base’s turnout and confidence in the closing days of the 2024 election. “We are focused on making sure that all of our voters have the information to get out and vote,” the campaign official said, highlighting efforts to protect the integrity of the voting process amidst what they claim are attempts by Trump to “sow doubt” regarding the election results.

Trump’s campaign, meanwhile, won an important victory in Pennsylvania after Democratic volunteers and local police tried to prematurely shut down lines of voters looking to request an absentee ballot. While not technically “early voting,” Pennsylvania voters are allowed to request an absentee ballot in person, fill it out, and immediately return it. A local court in Bucks County ruled that the absentee process would be kept open for several extra days before November 5.

In Michigan, a Dominion ICX Voter Assist Terminal (VAT) system—which is used to help voters with disabilities mark their ballots—suffered a programming error,  preventing voters from casting split-ticket ballots. This issue is reportedly impacting the same Dominion machine model across the country—though reports indicate election officials have instituted a fix.

Nevada Election Guru Has a Warning for Democrats.

Early vote data in Nevada suggests the state is slipping away from Democrats and could likely be won by President Donald J. Trump on November 5. The state’s top elections and political analyst Jon Ralston—himself a partisan Democrat—is warning that in prior presidential years, the question has always been whether Republicans can overcome the Democratic Party’s early vote firewall. However, he notes that this year, the question has been reversed.

“This year is different in many ways, but most obviously in that for the first time in The Reid Machine Era (2008 and forward), the Republicans are the ones banking votes in a presidential year, establishing a firewall to try to fend off a Democratic comeback and put themselves in the best position since [George W. Bush] won the state in 2004,” Ralston writes, adding: “So the analysis is the opposite of what it usually is: Can the Dems overcome the deficit and what would that look like in the models?”

The Nevada elections guru contends that while Democrats did see some positive news regarding vote totals in Clark County earlier this week, and they do typically surge votes in the final two days of early voting, it may be too little, too late.

“My gut and the data/history tell me it could be close,” Ralston says, adding: “But I tend to agree with GOP operative Jeremy Hughes, who posits that if the final GOP ballot lead gets much over 25,000, big trouble for Dems in trying to turn around this battleship.”

According to Nevada state election data, the Republican Party currently holds an eight percent statewide turnout edge, with a nearly ten percent edge in crucial Clark Couty. The Democrat firewall in the county is just at 8,600 in Clark.

Newly Registered Women Dominate Early Voting in PA, But Men Are Flooding It in AZ.

As of October 30, nearly 60 million Americans have already voted in the presidential election. There has been a notable influx of new voters in the vital swing states of Pennsylvania and Arizona from demographics that favor Vice Kamala Harris and former President Donald J. Trump, respectively.

In Pennsylvania, data indicates an increase in newly registered female Democratic voters. This trend could influence the election’s outcome. To date, Pennsylvania has seen over 100,000 new voters participate early. Conversely, in Arizona, the emergence of new male Republican voters is prominent, with early voting numbers already surpassing the 2020 margin of just 10,457 votes.

New voters who didn’t participate in 2020 are pivotal, as they may alter the landscape compared to the previous election. While the specific choices of these voters remain unknown, those who register as Democrats likely lean towards Harris, while Republican registrants likely lean towards Trump.

In North Carolina and Nevada, the largest category among new voters is those unaffiliated with any party. Their choices could significantly impact the election.

As new voter participation already exceeds previous election margins in several swing states, such individuals are set to play a decisive role in a closely contested electoral landscape.

Election Officials Confirm Voting Machine Flipped Vote from Trump to Kamala.

A video showing a Kentucky electronic ballot machine malfunctioning and only allowing a voter to cast a vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz is authentic, the county clerk confirms. Many on social media and the corporate media initially questioned whether the footage was staged. However, Laurel County Clerk Tony Brown—in a post on Facebook—acknowledges the machine was flipping votes from Donald J. Trump to Harris.

“The Attorney General’s office has been to the vote center to check the device that has been shown across social media today. In full disclosure, after several minutes of attempting to recreate the scenario, it did occur,” Brown wrote. He added: “This was accomplished by hitting some area in between the boxes. After that we tried for several minutes to do it again and could not.”

Brown stressed that the machine shown in the video is meant to mark ballots and that users must make their selection by pressing their finger fully in the box next to the candidate’s name on the screen. If that isn’t done, the error observed in the video can occur. The Laurel County Clerk notes that the machine was pulled from use and set facedown at the voting center until it could be examined by officials from the Kentucky Attorney General’s office.


“There were no claims of any issues with the device prior, and none since it went back into service,” Brown said, continuing: “The voter who posted the video did cast her ballot which she said was correct.”

Brown added: “I hate that this has occurred here in Laurel County. We strive to have accurate, secure and safe elections that we are proud to provide to our citizens.”
