Michigan’s Second-Largest City Lost An Entire Tray Of Mail Ballots And Still Has No Clue Where They Went

Published

on

Grand Rapids, Michigan, has lost a tray of absentee ballots, City Clerk Joel Hondorp told The Federalist. The city is investigating but does not yet know where the ballots went.

“Voters were calling, saying, ‘Hey, we didn’t receive our ballots,’” Hondorp said. “There’s a tray of ballots that were set to be mailed out. Looks like it may have got to the post office, we’re trying to figure out where the disconnect is.”

A tray holds close to 300 ballots, according to Hondorp. His office is working with the United States Postal Service to investigate at what point the tray of ballots got lost. 

“We do ballot tracking with our mail vendor, and so we can kind of verify where a tray gets scanned into the system,” Hondorp said. “We’re investigating right now.”

Hondorp said his office has sent 100 replacement ballots to voters who did not receive theirs. If anyone submits duplicate ballots, he said his office would “spoil” one of the ballots so only one vote counts per voter.

“If for some reason this tray shows up somewhere, and then they get another ballot in the mail, we know which ballot to count so they don’t return two,” Hondorp said. “If two ballots happen to come back to us, we know we only keep one of them.”

A few ballots sometimes get lost in the mail, Hondorp said, but typically the number is not this high. “It doesn’t seem to be a whole tray in the past. We

After Denouncing ‘Disinformation’ In Interview, Harris Spreads Lies About Trump

Published

on

Vice President Kamala Harris is spreading “disinformation” again. She told some whoppers Tuesday during an audio town hall hosted by media personality Charlamagne Tha God and was never challenged.

At one point during the town hall, Harris said of Trump, “The man has told you he intends to terminate the Constitution.” Not quite, madam vice president.

In December 2022, shortly after Elon Musk released Twitter records showing social media companies suppressed Americans’ speech during the 2020 election at the requests of federal officials, Trump took to his Truth Social and posed a question.

“With the revelation of MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION in working closely with Big Tech Companies, the DNC & the Democrat Party, do you throwh the Presidential Election results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW Election?” Trump posted.

This next part set off a series of news stories in 2022, stretching Trump’s comment out of proportion: “A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” Trump wrote. “Our great ‘Founders’ did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!”

Trump was not calling for the Constitution to be dismantled, but saying that the government’s actions that employ Twitter as a censorship tool dismantle the U.S. Constitution. The post is a defense of the Constitution, not a call for its “termination.”

Claiming Trump intends to terminate the Constitution is

Democrat-Friendly Licensing Boards Target Republican Attorneys General In Election Year

Published

on

Democrat-friendly lawyer licensing boards are targeting two Republican attorneys general in an election year under the pretext of “grievances” filed by political opponents. The years-long government litigation against Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita and Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen has racked up six-figure legal bills for taxpayers while punishing these elected officials for public speech on behalf of their voters’ priorities.

“Every minute I’m spending defending the AG from this is one minute I’m not spending suing the Biden administration or defending laws passed by the legislature,” Christian Corrigan, one of Knudsen’s lawyers as Montana’s solicitor general, told The Federalist. “This is starting with conservative AGs, but it’s not going to stop there.”

These two proceedings are among the most lengthy in a massive lawfare campaign to deprive right-leaning Americans of competent legal defense, bankrupt them with legal liabilities, and sandbag effective officials, many of which are lawyers. In another prolonged case, a faction of Texas Republicans attempted to defenestrate Attorney General Ken Paxton for fighting Big Tech and Big Pharma.

Republican attorneys general have been at the forefront of checking the Harris-Biden administration’s power abuses that include forcing girls and boys to shower together, seizing private property via environmental policies, pushing dangerous sex treatments on children, and banning Trump from speaking about the lawfare against him.

Knudsen and Rokita are up for re-election this year, and voting has already started in their states. The grievances that target their speech have boosted their political opponents, enabling a constant barrage of

4 Years After The Biden Laptop Coverup, Media Election Interference Is Worse Than Ever

Published

on

Four years ago this week, the corporate press helped airlift Joe Biden to the White House by blacking out coverage of his international pay-for-play scandal, after the New York Post discovered evidence of the scandal on an abandoned Biden laptop. The press reaction ranged from refusing entirely to cover the story because it was a “waste of time” to only covering it insofar as outlets could cast doubt on its legitimacy. After the election, polling would show that 1 in 6 Biden voters would have changed their vote had they known about some of the stories suppressed by the media, including the Hunter Biden laptop story.

It was the most infamous, though not the only, instance of journalists interfering to swing the 2020 election for the Democrats by stifling inconvenient reporting and propagating nonsense about Donald Trump, Biden’s Republican opponent. (Biden got a very minor taste of the media’s wrath this summer, when the powers that be decided he was no longer an expedient means to Democrat victory, and he didn’t last a month.)

The Biden laptop story blackout followed four entire years in which the media, in tandem with the Clinton campaign and the intelligence apparatus, spread lies about Trump based on the Russia collusion hoax and every other dubiously-sourced rumor they could find.

The good news is, after seeing how cravenly the corporate press carried water for the Clinton campaign’s false narrative about Trump and Russia, America is recognizing and dismissing media hoaxes more quickly these days. And
