Wisconsin’s Vote-By-Mail Reform Bill Tackles A Problem That’s Here To Stay

The bill aims to reduce the backlog of uncounted ballots, potentially speeding up the final count and enhancing transparency. The gold standard in voting is to vote in person on Election Day while showing a government-issued photo ID to prove eligibility. That said, eight states conduct elections entirely through the mail — California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon,...

Radical transparency: The election revolution no one is talking about

Bucks County, Pennsylvania, previously fraught with concerns over its elections, just proved it is responding to the pleas of voters nationwide to further secure its ballot procedures. Since the 2020 election, the county has received complaints about late election returns, meaningful poll-watcher observation, processing absentee ballot envelopes and provisional ballots, ballot shortages, issues with e-poll...

Out Of The Ashes Of Government Censorship Rises A Swing-State Election Protection Project

The tumultuous nature of recent elections, particularly the 2020 presidential race, showcased the critical need for attention to election administration. In 2020, the Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF), along with writers at The Federalist, had their social media posts flagged, suppressed, and even censored by a government-nonprofit-industry taskforce supposedly designed to combat election “misinformation” from foreign powers....

The Federalist Exposes Rigged Choice Voting

America’s republican form of government is only possible because of the one person, one vote election process. This means that we have all agreed on the mechanics of the system, and that our votes all counted equally in determining the outcome, at least in theory. This system has been the basis of popular sovereignty in...

Ranked Choice Voting: Confusing, Exhausting, and Slow

Explaining the mechanics of Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) is reminiscent of Lilliputian government in “Gulliver’s Travels” by Jonathan Swift. Gulliver observes that the process of selecting ministers consists of “five or six of those candidates petition[ing] the emperor to entertain his majesty and the court with a dance on the rope; and whoever jumps the...

Gavin Newsom’s Calculated Senate Appointment Is A Masterstroke In Political Chess

California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has yet again displayed his astuteness in the ever-complex game of politics. By making good on his promise to appoint a black woman, Laphonza Butler, to serve the remaining term of the late U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Newsom has accomplished multiple objectives, setting the stage for his own political ascendancy —...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom: The Groomed-From-Birth Leftist Who Expects To Be President

If lefty globalists were to spawn the perfect politician in a vat, Gavin Newsom would emerge from the goo. Make no mistake, the mounting evidence of bribery surrounding President Joe Biden and his family can only be buried one way: an admission of his major cognitive decline, necessitating his dropping out of the 2024 race....

It Doesn’t Matter How Strong Texas’ Election Laws Are Until Someone Enforces Them

Where once there were active cases against 43 people accused of 510 counts of election fraud, today there appear to be no more than five cases being pursued statewide. The Texas legislature has several bills on its docket that would increase penalties for voter fraud and give the state more tools to enforce election laws. But as...

End of the Electoral College is in sight if Democrats keep getting their way

Pundits and politicians on the political left have been pushing to overturn the Electoral College—the way America chooses presidents—by enacting a national popular vote interstate compact. Now, with 15 reliably blue states and the District of Columbia in agreement, and action pending in an additional six states, including Florida and Texas, the national popular vote is on...

Texas Democrats Have a Mid-Term Inoculation Plan

There’s a political tactic called “inoculation” that came into mainstream parlance in the Bill Clinton era—it’s a kind of pre-emptive strike designed to protect against expected attacks and allegations. Going down to the wire to Election Day on Nov. 8, Texas Democrats have begun an inoculation strategy, deploying their strongest resource, the Texas press, to...

Panicky Texas Democrats Beg Biden DOJ To Interfere In The Midterms

President Joe Biden’s border policies have led to monthly records of illegal immigrants crossing our southern border and being shipped, most often by the federal government, to different cities across the nation. In fact, some 2.2 million people have taken advantage of Biden’s aversion to enforcing immigration law, meaning the nation is on track to see close...

NISD Playing Politics on the Public Dime

For whatever reason, Texas public schools seem to be engaged in an awful lot of election-related shenanigans recently. For instance, a few years ago Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton issued “cease and desist letters to Brazosport, Holliday and Lewisville Independent School Districts regarding violations of the Texas Education Code for unlawful electioneering.” Later that same...
