The Remanded

*** Raffensperger Opens Investigation Into Seminole County Late Vote Upload *** Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger opened an investigation after a Seminole County memory card with several hundred Election Day votes was not uploaded. The discrepancy of ~388 more check-ins than ballots changed the unofficial House District 154 result from Gerald Greene trailing by less than 100 votes to leading by 262. County certification is due Monday.

Over time, our goal has come into sharper focus: a government that is more accountable and more open with the people it serves. We’re pursuing that through several approaches at once, because no single strategy is enough on its own. But we can’t do this alone. We need your help. We Keep Going

After seven months of waiting, I’ve received 1,378 pages of documents related to Canadian elections. If you’d like to keep supporting this work, you can do so here: givesendgo.com/electioninteg…

*** New Canadian Citizens 2006–2025: A Record Surge, Then a Drop *** 
2006 - 2021 Canada averaged about 175,000 new citizens a year never topping 263,000 2022–2024 each passed 375,000, peaking at 380,005 in 2023. 2025 fell 22% to 293,920, still higher than any year before 2022

*** Elections Canada Verification Letters by Province and Territory, June 2022 *** Letters mailed to electors whose National Register records had not been updated or confirmed in several years, measured against registered electors 1. British Columbia received nearly half of all letters (45.8%) despite holding just 13.5% of Canada’s registered electors, more than Ontario and Quebec combined. 2. About 1 in every 95 registered electors in BC received a letter, compared with roughly 1 in 320 nationally. BC’s rate is about 3.4 times the national rate and more than four times Ontario’s. 3. Every other province and territory fell below its share of registered electors. Ontario, second in total letters, was still below the national rate (24.9 vs. 31.0 per 10,000). The territories received almost none: 7 letters to Yukon and 1 to the Northwest Territories. Nunavut received none.

*** British Columbia Ballot Boxes *** Elections BC has announced that the initial count is complete, with 7,268 ballot boxes reported so far. Compare that with 2024. During that election, media published a total of 2,420 ballot boxes, nearly 5,000 fewer than this count, and Elections BC said two ballot boxes in every riding would receive “extra validation.” Yet when I asked Elections BC directly, it told me it does not track ballot box totals at all. So where did the published total come from? To find out, I filed Freedom of Information requests for the ballot box totals and for the results reporting Elections BC provided to the media consortium. Both were denied. The ballot box statistics were deemed a function of the Chief Electoral Officer and excluded from public access under Section 3. The public is left with a total reported in the media that can’t be verified, from an agency that says it doesn’t keep one. We Keep Going
