It is plainly obvious, only now of course, that everything isn’t what it appears to be with Alaska U.S. Senate candidate Dan Sullivan. Which Dan Sullivan, you may ask? There are two of them on the ballot: the incumbent Republican Dan S. Sullivan and the so-called “independent” candidate Dan J. Sullivan Jr. The initial temptation...
Harris’ own home state of California can’t say how many registrations it canceled for noncitizenship — or how many more pollute the rolls. Yet she accuses officials of ‘cheating.’ Kamala Harris has made election integrity a big talking point ahead of the midterms. The former vice president’s latest claims of cheating raise an obvious question:...
At a rally in Alaska on Tuesday, President Trump renewed his push to repeal the state’s ranked-choice voting system, urging Alaskans to do away with it on Nov. 3. Described by Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, as an “unnecessary confusion among voters,” ranked-choice voting lets Alaskans rank candidates in general elections instead of choosing just one....
If President Bill Clinton had been sitting in last week’s House Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight hearing on noncitizen voting, he might not have recognized his own party. During the hearing, Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett accused Republicans of wanting Americans to believe “there are thousands of noncitizens voting in elections.” Crockett then noted that in “states...
Software glitches. Human errors. Poor record-keeping. Liberal strongholds have developed a habit of treating election administration failures as isolated technical problems instead of examining the process that allowed them to happen. Something goes wrong. A technical explanation follows. Officials announce that the problem has been addressed and assure voters that the system worked. Fixing the...
Many city, county, and school district officials are right now deciding where to set tax rates for the next fiscal year. In some cases, these local decisions will push property taxes higher, creating new challenges for families struggling with affordability. Given the very real prospect of tax hikes on the horizon, now is the time...
Former Vice President Kamala Harris criticized the SAVE America Act for requiring proof of identity when registering to vote. Well, yes. Requiring someone to establish that they are a U.S. citizen before being added to the voter rolls is not some hidden provision critics just uncovered. The SAVE America Act was written to require documentary proof of...
New Jersey’s discovery was the predictable outgrowth of a political culture that treats elections as a mere census exercise. The political earthquake from the revelation of New Jersey’s tainted voter lists — with some 6,600 noncitizens registered to vote — have produced another aftershock: Gov. Mikie Sherrill announcing support for some form of voter ID....
It doesn’t seem like a very big change. But it is. Today, Kansans will be asked to abolish their Supreme Court Nominating Commission, a committee that ensures unelected lawyers determine who will sit on the highest court of Kansas. Kansas is not alone in creating this body. Leaders across this country are nominating judges who...
“I promised New Jerseyans that my administration would confront the issue with accountability and urgency.” That is what New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill said one week after she admitted at a press conference that roughly 6,600 noncitizens were registered to vote because of what she described as a “software glitch.” The governor also announced that the state...
Every state agrees, at least on paper, that only citizens should vote. The trouble is what happens between that principle and the polling place. New research from TPPF’s Chuck DeVore lays out just how much daylight exists between the two and offers a tested model for closing the gap. The federal voter registration form created...
In a Truth Social post last week, President Donald Trump renewed his push for the SAVE America Act, once again arguing that proof of citizenship and voter identification are essential to protecting our elections. New Jersey is proving his point. Election integrity is about more than verifying who can vote. It also requires accurate voter...
