Idaho Secretary of State Phil McGrane, a Republican, is partnering with the federal censorship office Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to talk about “election security.”

McGrane held a press conference on Wednesday with CISA director Jen Easterly in the Idaho state capital, after which the Idaho Republican said he was “grateful for the partnership” in a post on X.

CISA is America’s newest federal agency, established in 2018 in part to protect the American electrical grid and “critical infrastructure” from “cybersecurity threats.” In 2017, this included election infrastructure, which then-outgoing DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson designated as a “critical infrastructure subsector,” as noted in a 2023 federal report. The agency has also been working with Big Tech to silence Americans’ speech and put its thumb on the scale of elections.

The agency is behind the massive push to censor what state-power oligarchs deem to be “disinformation.” West Virginia Secretary of State Mac Warner told my colleague M.D. Kittle earlier this year that the “disinformation” narrative is a “psychological operation against the American people” that is “as bad as it gets.”

Nonetheless, McGrane seemed to heap praise on CISA.

“As Idaho’s Secretary of State, I am dedicated to protecting our elections and ensuring that every vote counts,” he reportedly said in a Sept. 16 press release. “The support we receive from CISA is invaluable, especially for our rural communities that often lack funding and resources when it comes to cybersecurity. Federal support and expertise help us provide consistent and robust security

Vice President Kamala Harris will use her short appearance in Atlanta Friday afternoon to falsely blame Georgia’s lifesaving pro-life law for the deaths of at least two women. The untimely passings of Amber Thurman, Candi Miller, and their babies, however, had nothing to do with the Peach State’s protections and everything to do with Democrats and corporate media’s dangerous abortion rhetoric.

ProPublica, an outlet known for doing Democrats’ dirty work, resurfaced Thurman’s and Miller’s 2022 passings this week in an attempt to vilify pro-life laws ahead of the 2024 election. The women’s deaths were both the direct result of a drug regimen responsible for more than half of the nation’s abortions. Still, ProPublica skipped past the sometimes fatal complications and a significant number of emergency room visits associated with mifepristone and misoprostol to insist that the women lost their lives because they and the doctors responsible for treating them were scared out of it by pro-lifers.

Shortly after the articles’ publication, Harris posted a four-part statement to X falsely claiming “Trump Abortion Bans prevent doctors from providing basic medical care.”

“Women are bleeding out in parking lots, turned away from emergency rooms, losing their ability to ever have children again,” she wrote. “Survivors of rape and incest are being told they cannot make decisions about what happens next to their bodies. And now women are dying. These are the consequences of Donald Trump’s actions.”

According to an unnamed senior Harris campaign official, the Democrat will echo these accusations about Trump — many of which

For the first time in 28 years, Georgia elected a Democrat as president in 2020, with President Joe Biden winning the state by 11,779 votes. But on-the-ground Republican leaders told The Federalist they hope this year will be different — and that the campaign’s operations are like nothing “seen … before.”

Axios reportedly obtained a copy of Trump campaign training materials that describe the campaign’s 2020 efforts as “inefficient.” The materials reportedly prioritize focusing on “hard-to-reach, low-propensity voters.” The Trump campaign confirmed to The Federalist its efforts to target low-propensity voters and encourage voters to vote early.

“Team Trump is doubling down on our efforts to reach voters where they are at and share President Trump’s plans to make America prosperous again,” RNC Battleground States Communications Director Rachel Reisner told The Federalist in a statement. “Team Trump continues to build out the most sophisticated and modern approach, ever.”

And Republican county chairs are attesting to the new efforts.

DeKalb Republican Party Chairwoman Marci McCarthy told The Federalist that current operations are “really different from their 2020 operations. I’ve actually never seen this before.”

“We feel like we’re getting great support from the Trump Force 47 team,” McCarthy told The Federalist. “We’re having training in the field offices twice a week, they’re doing phone banking, they’re teaching them how to utilize the technology, how to engage with voters. They’ll do some training with canvassing, and then they’ll take volunteers right out to do canvassing. They also encourage them to
