Accountable.US filed a complaint alleging Robert F. Kennedy Jr. committed voter fraud by casting a New York ballot from an address a court ruled was not his residence. The complaint cites a New York judge’s previous ruling that Kennedy falsely claimed the Katonah address as his residence to gain ballot access, a decision later upheld by the Supreme Court. This action potentially jeopardizes Kennedy’s confirmation as Health and Human Services Secretary, as it raises concerns about his respect for the law. The complaint calls for an investigation into Kennedy’s alleged violation of New York election law, arguing his actions demonstrate a disregard for legal processes.

Republican Judge Jefferson Griffin, trailing Democratic Justice Allison Riggs by 734 votes in a state Supreme Court election, secured a temporary stay from the GOP-controlled court preventing certification of Riggs’ win. Griffin seeks to invalidate over 60,000 votes, a move initially rejected by the state Board of Elections and a federal judge but now under review by the state Supreme Court. This action hinges on the legality of voter registrations lacking full driver’s license or partial Social Security numbers, a contested issue previously raised in a similar Republican lawsuit. Justice Anita Earls dissented, and Justice Riggs recused herself.

Another Florida state representative has switched from the Democratic to the Republican party, marking the second such instance this year. This action has sparked considerable outrage and accusations of voter fraud, with many questioning the legitimacy of the election process.

The widespread anger is palpable, particularly amongst those who feel betrayed by the representative’s actions. The sentiment is that this constitutes a form of political dishonesty, a betrayal of the trust placed in the representative by their constituents.… Continue reading
Following his “Patriot of the Year” award from Fox News, Trump announced plans to address election integrity, focusing on implementing paper ballots, one-day voting, voter ID, and proof of citizenship. This renewed focus on election reform, despite his November victory and the statistical rarity of widespread voter fraud, suggests a continued pursuit of his 2020 election fraud claims. His comments specifically targeted California’s voting system, which doesn’t mandate photo ID at polling places.

Dinesh D’Souza’s 2022 film, “2,000 Mules,” alleging widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election, relied on flawed cellphone location data and surveillance footage analysis.

D’Souza issued an apology, acknowledging that the surveillance videos were not linked to the geolocation data, and that this misrepresentation affected the film’s narrative. This admission follows a lawsuit alleging false accusations of voter fraud.

At least two Pennsylvania residents, a registered Democrat and an unaffiliated voter, received $100 checks from Elon Musk’s America PAC despite not signing the associated petition. The checks, bearing a return address from Austin, Texas, and signed by a “Todd Lewis,” raise questions about the PAC’s practices. While some petition signers await their payments, the recipients who did not sign the petition have refused to cash the checks, citing concerns about the unauthorized use of their information. America PAC has not commented on the matter, leaving the legitimacy of the checks unclear.

The recent election has ignited a wave of conspiracy theories on both the left and right, primarily fueled by a drop-off in Democratic votes. Many voters on the left are expressing bewilderment and frustration, unable to reconcile the outcome with the perceived strength of the Democratic campaign. They cite anecdotes about problems with mail-in ballots, missing votes, and discrepancies in vote counts as evidence of something amiss. The prevailing sentiment is that the election results don’t seem to make sense, particularly given the historical voting patterns and the relative strength of the Democratic candidates.
On the other side of the political spectrum, many Republicans, particularly those aligned with the former President, see the election as a victory for their party and a validation of their own narratives.… Continue reading
Despite facing a formidable Republican challenge in a heavily Republican district, incumbent Democrat Rep. Frank Burns secured his seat thanks to a strategic campaign. His campaign capitalized on his conservative views, particularly on immigration, running ads that contrasted his pro-Trump stance with his opponent’s supposed lack of support for the President’s policies. This tactic proved successful in a district that leans heavily towards the Republican party, offering a glimmer of hope for Democrats in a challenging election cycle where the state largely favored Republicans. This victory underscores the potential impact of targeted messaging and campaign spending in tight races, even in traditionally Republican areas.
