When the Republican National Committee requested absentee drop box surveillance footage from the City of Detroit, the city asked for an extension — then said the footage had been deleted, according to a new lawsuit from the RNC. The party is now suing the city.

“Deleting drop box surveillance footage while there is a pending FOIA request for it is an assault on transparency,” RNC Chair Michael Whatley said in a press release. “This breach of trust is exactly what reduces confidence in our elections.”

The RNC sued the Detroit Department of Elections on Oct. 15, claiming it had violated the Michigan Freedom of Information Act by allowing the requested drop box video to be deleted. The RNC is requesting an injunction to make the city retain election drop box surveillance.

“With the election underway, there is a real and imminent [danger] of irreparable injury that more video surveillance records of drop boxes will be destroyed after a timely FOIA request is received,” the suit reads.

The party was requesting surveillance of a drop box at Wayne County Community College following the state’s Aug. 6 primary. The city asked for a 10-business-day extension to the Aug. 20 request, then replied that the footage had been automatically deleted after 30 days. The RNC claims its request was received 16 days before the video was set to be deleted.

The lawsuit cited a 2019 Detroit executive order that said record “retention is required, even if otherwise authorized by a schedule, if a

A Georgia judge nullified seven election integrity rules approved by the State Election Board (SEB) less than three weeks before Election Day.

Fulton County Judge Thomas Cox ruled that “the SEB lacked constitutional authority to enact” a series of proposals that were designed to maintain and ensure election integrity and accurate vote counts. Cox ruled that the state legislature is vested with the authority to regulate elections — even though the SEB is responsible for “promulgating rules and regulation to promote uniformity in election practices, and to promote legality and purity in elections.”

Other responsibilities of the SEB, as outlined by the secretary of state’s office, include “developing rules and regulations about what constitutes a vote that will be counted” and “taking such other action as the board may deem appropriate to conduct ‘fair, legal and orderly elections.’”

“The questions presented are legal ones regarding whether SEB had the authority to promulgate the rules at issue and whether these rules are legally enforceable in light of the Election Code, the Georgia Constitution, and the U.S. Constitution,” Cox wrote. Cox concluded that “the SEB lacks authority to promulgate these challenged rules” and that “the SEB has no constitutional authority to promulgate these rules because the General Assembly did not provide ‘sufficient’ or ‘realistic’ parameters guiding the SEB’s rulemaking here.”

The suit was filed by former Republican state legislator Scot Turner and his organization, Eternal Vigilance Action, and Chatham County election board member James Hall. The suit alleged that the SEB “promulgated

With Vice President Kamala Harris’s blundering interview with Fox News on full display, CBS News’ apparent decision to selectively edit its own interview to be more flattering of the presidential hopeful looks even more damning.

Harris has only done a handful of interviews as the Democrat replacement nominee for president, and all but the one with Fox News anchor Bret Baier have been done with media allies of Harris and her ideological ilk. A lot of them have been pretaped, giving outlets the ability to edit the footage.

Last week, CBS put on one of the most blatant attempts to deceive the American people by releasing one, and then a second totally different, answer to the same question. In the first version, Harris shared what has been widely mocked as a lengthy “word salad” answer to “60 Minutes” interviewer Bill Whitaker’s question about Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s strained relationship with the White House.

The “word salad,” however, did not make it into the edit that aired in the full interview, as it was replaced by a shorter, more succinct answer that did not appear in the first clip. The switcheroo, which appeared to be nothing less than corporate media election interference, earned scorn and even a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) complaint accusing CBS of “significant and intentional news distortion.”

“This isn’t just about one interview or one network,” Daniel Suhr, president of the Center for American Rights, which filed the complaint, said in a statement. “This is about the
