Arizona’s ‘Broken’ Election Administration Is A Habit Officials Refuse To Break

Published

on

While Donald Trump has officially secured a second term as president, all eyes remain on the Sunbelt state of Arizona, where election officials continue to tabulate ballots days after the Nov. 5 contest.

As of Friday morning, the Arizona secretary of state’s office estimates there are more than 780,000 votes yet to be counted. Preliminary results released thus far show Trump leading Kamala Harris by 5.9 points and Democrat Senate candidate Ruben Gallego leading Republican Kari Lake by 1.7 points.

Control of the state legislature and numerous local races are also yet to be officially determined as of Friday morning, according to The New York Times.

While winning Arizona is no longer necessary for Republicans to take control of the White House and Senate this year, the state’s reputation for taking days to produce final election results shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand.

“The longer you drag it out, the more it raises suspicions that shenanigans are occurring, that fraudulent activity is occurring,” Arizona Free Enterprise Club President Scot Mussi told The Federalist. “The only way to eliminate that is to ensure that we have election results on election night.”

Failure to provide voters a definitive answer on the outcome of any given race within the day of the election undermines voters’ faith in the process. Imagine, for instance, if the outcome of the 2024 presidential race came down to which candidate won Arizona. The ineptitude of officials in Maricopa County — Arizona’s most populous locality — and other

Stop Crying On The Internet. It’s Embarrassing And Pathetic

Published

on

President-elect Donald Trump’s White House win this week was his first electoral victory in the TikTok era. Liberal tears might have flowed across the internet eight years ago, but that was nothing compared to the flooding that overtook the left’s favorite video platform after Trump triumphed for a second time.

The online teardrops started tumbling even before the former president reclaimed the title earlier this week.

“I hate you, you f-ck-ng orange pumpkin,” said one sobbing woman. “You just cost me one of the most important people in my life, my dad.”

Because only a totally normal and healthy person would post a sob story about disavowing family members over political differences on the internet.

Of course, plenty more tears from random leftists infected with Trump derangement syndrome followed once these individuals’ declared antichrist sailed to re-election. Here are some of the worst clips (or best, depending on the viewer’s perspective) circulating the internet:

Leftists constantly publishing videos of themselves crying on camera isn’t just incredibility cringe, the behavior is conclusive evidence of extreme narcissism, and it happens all the time — even when there’s no election to cry about.

Whether they’re complaining about being “misgendered” or working too hard, TikTok has way too many young people sobbing about their lives openly online as if the world were ending. The tragic reality is that these people are obviously lacking when it comes to forming genuine relationships with others beyond social media followers. The

‘A Real Mess’: Milwaukee Again Delivers An Election Night Debacle

Published

on

Having lived through the shenanigans of the 2020 election, Brian Schimming and Ron Johnson, Wisconsin’s senior senator, weren’t about to take any chances in Milwaukee. 

Schimming, chairman of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, got word that there was a problem with tabulators at Milwaukee’s Central Count on Election Day. It was a big problem. 

As The Federalist reported, the seals on 13 vote tabulation machines appeared to have been tampered with. The doors on the tabulators were not secured. Thankfully, Republican observers noticed the problem and called GOP officials. 

‘Human Error’

Schimming and Johnson arrived at Milwaukee’s Baird Center (a downtown convention hall and site of Central Count operations) at around 7 p.m. on Tuesday and were confronted by a mob of reporters and cameras, Schimming told me in an interview. The top Republicans took a tour of the massive, multi-gymnasium-style floor. They were joined by the party’s election integrity team. Milwaukee Election administrator Paula Gutiérrez guided them to the tabulators. 

“Ron had some pointed questions for her. He said, ‘Oh, by the way, is the video available?’” Schimming said. Video surveillance of the machines and the Central Count operations is required, and, yes, the video must be made available for public inspection. “It got a little chippy. [Gutiérrez] did not appear to be happy there. I wasn’t going to lose any sleep over that.”

Gutiérrez, who replaced controversial Milwaukee elections chief Claire Woodall-Vogg after she was fired in May, told the press that it was all a matter of

Judge Overturns New York Voting Law Dems Were Using To Strong-Arm Towns Into Accepting Illegal Migrants

Published

on

The New York State Supreme Court in Orange County overturned the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act, a law Democrats were leveraging to take control of local governments and further a pro-illegal-immigration agenda.

The legislation, which was signed into law in 2022, would in part force municipalities to obtain pre-clearance before making changes to how they conduct their voting systems. According to Spectrum News 1, “local governments or school districts with a record of discrimination in New York” were subject to the new pre-clearance rules.

But the legislation was also being used by some to sue towns for how they currently conduct their elections.

The town of Newburgh uses an “at-large” voting system, which means all voters can vote for all the members of the town board, rather than each seat being chosen by voters of a select district. But six black and Hispanic residents sued the town and the town board in January, arguing that the current system inhibits their ability to elect a candidate of their choice. According to the ruling, the complaint claimed that as of 2020, Newburgh had a population of approximately 60 percent white, 15 percent black and 25 percent Hispanic.

The complaint, according to the ruling, alleges that black and Hispanic voters could be “configured within four or five newly created single-member districts,” but “racially polarized voting” inhibits these voters’ ability to “elect candidates of their choice ‘or’ to influence the outcome of elections is impaired, regardless of proof of racially polarized voting.”
