Iowa Identified 87 Self-Reported Noncitizens Who Have Already Cast Ballots In Elections

Published

Iowa’s elections chief revealed on Tuesday that his office has identified 87 individuals who self-reported they are noncitizens after already casting ballots in elections.

“It is absolutely critical that eligible citizens are able to vote and we are not disenfranchising any eligible voters,” Secretary of State Paul Pate said in a statement.

According to an office press release, the 87 foreign nationals were discovered as part of a regular audit of the state’s voter rolls. The analysis also uncovered 67 self-reported noncitizens who registered to vote, but did not cast ballots in elections. The names of these individuals are being turned over “to the Iowa Attorney General and the Iowa Department of Public Safety for potential prosecution,” according to Pate.

The audit additionally found 2,022 people “who have self-reported they are not citizens and voted or registered to vote after self-reporting.” Pate Communications Director Ashley Hunt Esquivel reportedly said, as described by the left-wing Iowa Capital Dispatch, “there may be individuals in this category who have been naturalized as U.S. citizens since reporting their status to the Iowa [Department of Transportation], and legally eligible to vote.”

Pate indicated in the release that his office has provided instructions to county auditors to ensure only authorized U.S. citizens have their votes tabulated in the 2024 election. County auditors are to direct their poll workers to “challenge the ballots” cast by these individuals should they vote in the November contest. According to the secretary, these voters, whose eligibility remains in question, will

Judge Tosses ‘Objectively Outrageous’ Charge Against Arizona Mom Arrested For Speaking At City Meeting

Published

on

On Wednesday, an Arizona judge dismissed the criminal case brought against a state resident who was arrested after criticizing her city government during a public meeting.

“The Defendant should not have faced criminal prosecution once for expressing her political views,” Justice of the Peace Gerald Williams wrote.

The entire saga began on Aug. 20, when resident Rebekah Massie spoke before the Surprise City Council during a public meeting. The Arizona mother was criticizing the conduct of the city attorney when she was abruptly cut off by Mayor Skip Hall, who accused her of “attacking” the city official “personally” and violating rules governing public meetings.

Massie claimed the rule was “unconstitutional” and that by limiting her testimony, the city was violating her First Amendment right to free speech. Following a short exchange of words, Hall called on a law enforcement official to have Massie removed from the meeting.

The Arizona mom was subsequently detained and charged with trespassing.

Writing on behalf of the Maricopa County Justice Courts, Williams dismissed the charge against Massie with prejudice, meaning the state cannot bring the case back to his court. The judge noted that “[n]o branch of any federal, state, or local government in this country should ever attempt to control the content of political speech,” and that, in Massie’s case, “the government did so in a manner that was objectively outrageous.”

“The Court agrees that she should never face criminal prosecution, for expressing her political views on that date at that time, again,” Williams wrote.

After Trying Every Other Trick in The Book, Democrats Go Full ‘Trump Is Hitler’ Days Before The Election

Published

on

They’ve attacked him. They’ve impeached him. They’ve arrested him. They’ve desperately tried to imprison him. They unconstitutionally denied him access to the ballot. They’ve tried to kill him. 

Democrats have failed at every turn to get rid of Donald Trump. 

Now the self-proclaimed defenders of democracy and their corporate media allies are turning to the last vestige of hope for the desperate in an extremely tight presidential race: Lies. 

And name-calling. 

‘Do You Think Donald Trump Is a Fascist?’

Democrat presidential hopeful Kamala Harris opened Wednesday night’s CNN town hall with a long tirade in which she warned ostensibly undecided voters that Trump would be a dictator if given another term in the Oval Office. 

“Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?” host Anderson Cooper asked the vice president in the opening moments of the latest long-form, packaged-as-news political ad for the Harris-Walz campaign. 

“Yes, I do. Yes, I do,” Harris answered as if reciting an unholy wedding vow. 

Of course she does. The “Trump is Hitler” narrative is Harris’ — and the left’s — closing argument in a Reader’s Digest presidential campaign for the Democrats. It must be noted that Harris’ abridged quest began with the Democrats’ bloodless coup that removed the demented Democrat president of the United States from his run for a second term. 

In an act of corporate media collusion so transparent it burns the eyes, the shameless Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief at The Atlantic, published the hit piece earlier this week that Harris and her

Georgia Audit Finds Nine Noncitizens Voted In Past Elections

Published

on

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced Wednesday that an audit of Georgia’s voter rolls found 20 noncitizens registered to vote — and nearly half of them reportedly previously voted in an election.

Raffensperger said the state found 20 noncitizens on its voter rolls after it launched a citizenship audit this summer. The audit also discovered that “nine of those 20 noncitizens cast ballots in the past, while the other 11 were registered but never actually voted,” according to the Atlanta-Journal Constitution.

The secretary said the state used records from “county courts, the Georgia Department of Driver Services, and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.” Gabe Sterling, the chief operating officer for the secretary’s office, said the 20 noncitizens on the rolls were discovered after they signed affidavits confirming they were not citizens when seeking dismissal from jury duty. The individuals came from seven Georgia counties: Fulton, Cobb, Bibb, Clayton, Henry, Gwinnett, and DeKalb, Sterling said.

Raffensperger said all 20 voter registrations were canceled and were “being referred to local prosecuting law enforcement.”

The state also discovered 156 people whom Raffensperger says “require[s] additional human investigation” into their citizenship status. Raffensperger said his office opened a “case file into these individuals.”

Several other states have also discovered noncitizens on their voter rolls in recent weeks.

Oregon’s secretary of state recently announced that the state similarly found nine noncitizens who had voted in past elections, along with “more than 300 noncitizens [who] were erroneously registered to vote,” as my colleague
