Even before polls opened on Election Day, legacy media were already pushing the narrative that the country would be seeing a “red mirage” on Nov. 5, claiming Republican margins will appear greater than they actually are before large numbers of likely-Democrat absentee ballots are counted.

“You’re going to see a ‘red mirage,’ where it seems like Trump is doing better than he actually is, because they haven’t counted and reported those absentee ballots yet, then the blue shift when those ballots are introduced to add to the totals — that could be in the middle of the night. It certainly was in 2020,” Wisconsin Democrat Party Chair Ben Wikler said on MSNBC on Tuesday. 

In 2020, Election Day came to an end with Trump leading the race by “comfortable margins,” as The Federalist’s John Daniel Davidson wrote. However, early morning ballot dumps the next day in the crucial states of Wisconsin and Michigan somehow “showed 100 percent of the votes going for Biden and zero percent — that’s zero, so not even one vote — for Trump.”

Ahead of the 2022 midterms, Democrats and the media sought to normalize concepts like the so-called “red mirage,” working to, as The Federalist previously noted, “prim[e] voters to expect GOP gains to evaporate once mail-in and absentee ballots — which skew heavily Democratic — are counted in the coming days and weeks.”

They’re perpetuating the same psyop in 2024.

The margin in Wisconsin is currently razor thin, with RealClearPolitics placing Harris 0.4

Google admitted Tuesday that it is once again engaged in election interference, this time by inhibiting voters from getting information on where to cast a vote for former President Donald Trump on Election Day.

Users who searched “Where can I vote for Trump?” were shown a list of “Top stories” and, further down, a link to “donaldjtrump.com,” a link to “USA.gov” about how to vote, and several other websites with voter information.

But users who searched “Where can I vote for Harris?” were immediately shown a link provided by Democracy Works and Voting Information Project that allows voters to enter an address and be directed to their nearest polling location. One X user attributed the difference in results to “Harris” being a county in Texas. But users who entered non-Harris, Texas, addresses were still provided information about their nearest polling location.

Google acknowledged the issue in a statement, saying the issue was fixed and attributing their blatant election interference to an oopsie: “The ‘where to vote’ panel is triggering for some specific searches [because] Harris is also the name of a county in TX [Texas].”

“Fix is coming,” Google said. “Note very few people actually search for voting places this way.”

Google users were previously directed to Democracy Works when seeking information on how to register to vote.

Democracy Works bills itself as “non-partisan” but is funded by “prominent left-of-center private foundations, such as the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Democracy Fund, and the John

HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. — Just 21 days before the start of early voting, Hurricane Helene delivered biblical-level destruction to the hills, hollows, and mountains of North Carolina. The massive storm brought devastating floods that killed 232 people — half of them in this state — and buried entire riverside communities in rivers of mud.

Now, residents struggle for basic supplies. More than 2,500 families are homeless. Crowded shelters are well above capacity. Hundreds of road and bridge closures are disrupting transportation and the delivery of crucial aid.

Two days after the storm, Gov. Roy Cooper requested a Major Disaster Declaration from the federal government in order to surge assistance to state and local agencies and provide immediate relief to suffering North Carolinians. FEMA claimed in a news release that it sent 25 trailer loads of food and 60 trailer loads of water to North Carolina. But Hendersonville resident Andrea Corn says she has not seen a state or federal worker yet.

After the storm, Corn — a 55-year-old accountant who is more accustomed to preparing tax forms for local businesses than organizing relief missions — formed an ATV group to rescue elderly victims in Henderson County. Most roads and bridges had crumbled or washed away, and many folks could be reached only by going off-road.

Andrea and her husband, a volunteer fireman, brought supplies to victims stranded in remote “hollers.” Many residents were without power for more than a month following Helene’s visit. Samaritan’s Purse, a nondenominational evangelical Christian charity, distributed solar-powered lights to light
