Proof of citizenship belongs on every voter registration washingtonexaminer.com/in_fo…

Trump DOJ writes in its emergency filing today:
"California also does not refute that it will tabulate ballots from individuals
charged with federal voting crimes or that it has registered upwards of 1,500 noncitizens to vote in federal elections before.
The number of noncitizen voters California has admitted to registering
(1,500) could change the outcome of an election."

Bend, Oregon man who shot and killed a shooter at his daughters' school speaks out, praises female teacher for fighting the shooter, allowing him to have a clear shot.
Kaylub Giamanco says he is haunted by the sound of children pleading for their lives.
He also praised the teacher for grabbing the gunman's weapon, allowing him to take a shot at the shooter.
"I want to recognize [the teacher]. She gave me the opportunity to make my shot without losing my life..."
"I swung the door open, and I stepped in, and I fired, and they dropped to the ground... I looked down at the gunman, and he was scrambling for his weapon. And I looked at him, and I shot him 2 more times..."

No one should have to deal with an election system this complicated and riggable.
The conservative majority needs to save the Republic.
US Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan accused the court’s conservative supermajority of undercutting democracy, saying recent rulings had created a “race to the bottom” in redistricting and a “nightmare” of unlimited election spending. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law…
People = Christians; gunmen = Islamists.
Islamists didn’t open fire on a church, they opened fire on Christians.
@ABC needs to hire real journalists.
At least nine people were killed and 34 were injured after gunmen opened fire on a church in Karak, Jordan, on Friday. abcnews.link/XdO4iJa
Because some states refuse to verify citizenship and detect fraud, prosecutors must deter the commission of election crimes.
10/13 - Voter Fraud
"The law is clear. The cases are real. The solution is straightforward: only citizens can vote, and we will enforce that rule," said U.S. Attorney Ellis Boyle. "Any person who chooses to break that sanctity of the N C ballot booth, know this: we are watching, we will find you, AND we will prosecute you."

Prayers rise from Jordan as the crowd chants “Ave Maria,” remembering the nine martyrs and praying for the injured and all families affected by the church attack.
Nine people were killed and 40 injured when gunmen opened fire during a funeral at St. George’s Greek Orthodox Church in Hamoud, Karak, on October 23. The victims’ funerals will take place tomorrow, Sunday, October 25.
Please pray for the eternal rest of our nine martyrs, the healing of the injured, and strength and comfort for all the families affected. May God be close to them as they prepare to lay their loved ones to rest. 🇯🇴🙏

In their recent court filing to the 9th circuit, CA says that the DOJ has a "slipshod" system to verify citizenship. That is a hoot. Whatever the DOJ has, it's better than what California says they have, which is nothing.
We don’t need no darn transparency.
U.S. Senate candidate @TroyJackson (D-ME) on Trump administration plan to monitor midterm election: "We don't need people coming from Washington to make it harder or scare people off from voting. To me, that's what it is."
Common Sense returns to Kansas
10th Circuit: KS law barring “private parties from partially prefilling applications for mail ballots before those applications are sent to registered voters” passes legal muster.

Back in 2024, we foresaw this type of activity being an issue. Proud to have worked with leaders like @MichaelWatsonMS and @JeremyEnglandMS who had the foresight to tackle this issue and get this law on the books.
This morning, we notified the Scott Colom for Senate campaign that Mississippi law prohibits deepfake political ads. And we are pleased to announce that they have removed the ads from their social media. Election integrity is important and this office is committed to ensuring public trust in the electoral process.

Americans deserve confidence that every vote cast is legal and every election is secure. Proof of citizenship to register. Voter ID to vote. It's common sense.

Fmr AK Lt Gov @LorenLeman:
"#RCV is complicated and confusing.
"For the 2022 and 2024 General Elections, thousands of ballots didn’t count because of mistakes in marking the ballot and the phenomenon of exhausted ballots."
