The idea that “we should take over the voting” is a deeply unsettling prospect, one that suggests a fundamental disregard for democratic processes. When this sentiment is expressed, particularly by prominent political figures, it raises serious questions about the future of electoral systems and the very foundation of representative government. The core of this concern lies in the notion that rather than participating in and trusting established electoral procedures, there’s a desire to exert direct, and potentially coercive, control over how votes are cast and counted.
This isn’t just a casual remark; it appears to represent a mindset where the outcome of an election is predetermined or, at the very least, guaranteed through means that bypass the will of the electorate.… Continue reading
In a stunning turn of events, a Democrat, Taylor Rehmet, defeated the Republican candidate in a special election for a Texas state senate seat, marking the first time in decades that a Democrat has held the position. The election took place in a district that Donald Trump had won by a significant margin in 2024, despite his endorsement and active campaigning for the Republican candidate, Leigh Wambsganss.

New GOP anti-voting bill may be the most dangerous attack on voting rights ever. It’s a statement that, frankly, is alarming, and deserves a deep dive into the implications of such legislation. The sheer breadth of the proposed changes, if enacted, could fundamentally alter the landscape of American elections.

This isn’t about making sure elections are secure. The overwhelming consensus is that voter fraud is exceedingly rare. So, what’s really driving this? The general sentiment is that the GOP is facing an uphill battle to win elections, and rather than adapt their platform to attract a wider base of voters, they are trying to manipulate the system to ensure their continued power.… Continue reading
FBI seizes 2020 ballots in Georgia in apparently unprecedented action, alarming local officials, and that’s the headline, and it’s a real head-scratcher. It’s tough to know where to begin, but the fact that the FBI is taking possession of ballots from the 2020 election cycle in Georgia is definitely something to pay attention to. The reaction seems pretty unified in its alarm. It’s being called “unprecedented”, and that alone raises some serious questions. What’s the justification? What’s the scope of the investigation? What are the potential implications?
If you’re keeping score, consider this: there was a recount in Georgia, twice, after the 2020 election, and Biden actually gained votes.… Continue reading
