Democrats’ Maine mess puts insiders back in charge

The Graham Platner debacle raises a larger election-integrity question: Do voters still decide, or do parties reclaim power when elections get messy? “Inclusive.” “Representative.” “Transparent.” That is how Maine Democratic Party Chair Charlie Dingman describes the process for selecting a new Democratic nominee following Graham Platner’s withdrawal from the race.

When Did Citizenship Become Optional at the Ballot Box?

In a 10-5 vote, the Los Angeles City Council voted last week “to advance a measure that would allow non-citizens to vote in citywide and Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) school board elections.” Let that sink in. In one of America’s largest cities, elected officials are seriously debating whether citizenship should still matter at the ballot...

‘Election month’ is California’s delay by design

The Golden State keeps telling voters patience is the price of accuracy. Florida proves secure elections do not have to take a month. “Accuracy comes before speed.” That was California’s Secretary of State Shirley Weber’s message to voters in a press release issued two days after they started counting votes from June’s primary. In the same release,...

National Popular Vote Hands Control To States With Worst Election Security

Americans in every state should recognize the compact for what it is: a coastal elite power grab masquerading as democracy. Gov. Abigail Spanberger signed a bill making Virginia the latest participant in the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact last week, as the compact draws perilously close to upending our constitutional order. Every American who cherishes...

Is Proof of Citizenship Really Jim Crow 2.0?

As Major League Baseball prepares to open its 2026 season later this month, the return of baseball also serves as a reminder of how heated the election law debate became just a few years ago. In 2021, critics used the same “Jim Crow 2.0” label to describe Georgia’s election reform law, the Election Integrity Act...

‘Prove it’ isn’t an insult. It’s a standard.

Paper Ballots Give Elections the Permanent Record They Need

Recently, President Trump applauded Dallas County, Texas for using paper ballots. That praise strikes at the heart of a fundamental truth: When our nation entrusts votes to a permanent, physical record, we safeguard election integrity. Americans have watched debates in recent years around voting machines, software patches, cyber vulnerabilities, and technological upgrades — but one thing hasn’t...
