BCRA unlikely to survive the Parliamentarian? Hold your horses.

Good afternoon from Capitol Hill. The House and Senate are both in session, and it’s a big week in Washington. The Georgia Senate runoff is tomorrow, and, depending on the outcome, Democrats will either have a 50-49 seat majority, or the Senate will remain in a 50-50 tie. The continuing resolution, which is propping up […]

“Rigged” Choice Voting is terrible: full stop. It is terrible regardless of party. It is terrible regardless of who won or lost a recent RCV-based election. It is very confusing to understand — making it easy for its proponents to promote. This great “primer” by Honest Elections Project lays out the dangers of this bad […]

This interview is part of EIN’s “After and Before” Series. After 2020 and 2022, and Before 2024: Who’s Counting? with Cleta Mitchell Podcasts discussing state-by-state experiences in 2022 from the Election Integrity Network’s citizen leaders: The bad…but also the good – and the positive difference an election integrity infrastructure made and is making in state […]

Good afternoon from Capitol Hill. The House and Senate return to session this week. Last week, I wrote about the battle over religious liberty brewing in the Senate on the Respect for Marriage Act, which claims to “codify same sex marriage” (it doesn’t – nothing in the bill changes the status of, or benefits afforded […]

Washington, DC.  Election Integrity Network (EIN) has published on its website reports from more than 100 citizen observers, election workers and volunteer attorneys who were eyewitnesses to a chaotic election in Maricopa County, AZ on November 8, 2022.  These troubling reports, found at  www.whoscounting.us/Maricopa/ describe massive technology, equipment, management, and leadership failures in epic proportions that disenfranchised thousands of Maricopa […]

Good afternoon from Capitol Hill. It’s Thanksgiving week, so Congress is out of session. Former president Donald Trump last week officially declared he will seek re-election to the presidency in 2024. And by week’s end, his Twitter account was officially reinstated after over 15 million people voted approvingly in a Twitter poll put out by […]

A number of noteworthy things did not happen on Election Day 2022. Everyone knows the red wave didn’t happen. But that isn’t all that didn’t happen. The chaos at the polls that was going to be caused by the presence of citizen poll watchers did not happen. Despite being hysterically predicted (hoped for?) over the […]

Good afternoon from Capitol Hill. Congress is back in session and the lame duck session starts now. On deck is a government funding deadline on December 16th, the defense authorization bill, more aid for Ukraine, and possibly even a same sex marriage bill. But before we even get to that point, the tight majorities in […]

Good afternoon from Capitol Hill. It’s T-1 day until Election Day. America has been undergoing a tectonic political realignment for at least the last two decades, one I would argue was reflected in the election of Donald Trump in 2016. One thing his election reflected was how broadly the demographic parameters of each party are […]

Good afternoon from Capitol Hill. The House and Senate are still out of session. The midterm elections are in 8 days. And Happy Halloween! I was trying to come up with a fun pun or a cute turn of phrase but then I realized that a town full of politicians collaborating with America’s biggest corporations […]

Coalitions work. Citizen engagement works. It’s about the ballots, not the parties. Kudos to Florida Secretary of State Cord Byrd, Governor DeSantis and the Office of Election Crimes for opening an investigation of paid ballot trafficking. And to brave Orange County Democrat Cynthia Harris for her resolute courage in bringing this case forward. Honored that […]

Jason Snead, Executive Director of Honest Elections Project, is not just a veteran election lawyer and policy expert, as well as a messaging guru regarding election laws and policy, but a friend to every voter in our country who wants elections to be honest, lawful and fair – and believe that all legal votes should […]

As the Constitution delegates election administration to the states, some states have good laws, some have bad, and some states are silent on election protections. This election cycle, ballot initiatives presented to voters also reflect these differences. Some states are asking voters to tighten ballot security as others are for loosening protections. Unfortunately, the menace […]

After the Biden Administration and Georgia’s leftwing elites promoted the falsehood in 2020 that Georgia’s then new voting protection provisions would suppress votes, Georgia had the highest voter turnout in history. Georgia voters are now smashing previous early voting numbers, therefore left is at it again — claiming, somehow, that high voter turnout is not […]

Good afternoon from Capitol Hill. The House and Senate are still out of session. Pennsylvania Senate candidates Mehmet Oz and John Fetterman debate for the one and only time tomorrow at 8pm. If you missed it last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory committee voted unanimously to add the COVID vaccine and […]

When the left gets nervous, it unleashes baseless attacks on good people through its cheerleaders in the media. In recent years, the anti-election integrity left has done its best to water down election protections and is now ramping up its rhetoric with not-so-subtle threats against election integrity advocates and poll observers. “Do not be dismayed!” […]

U.S. voters are not with the activist left that is trying to block voter ID laws in every state and voting jurisdiction. In a new Gallup poll, nearly 80% of Americans favor photo ID for voting, leaving one to wonder, “what’s wrong with the other 20 percent?” But despite this good news, the poll also shows the election […]

Election Integrity Network was created to engage “regular folks” in the battle to protect all ballots of all voters at all times. As one election integrity advocate notes in this article, “Volunteers are not just complaining about a problem but are taking the time to learn how to solve problems and then taking action based […]

Good afternoon from Capitol Hill. The House and Senate are still out of session. If you miss the Capitol Hill Sturm und Drang, you can live vicariously through the midterm debates going on around the country. Rep. Tim Ryan and JD Vance face off in a debate for the open Ohio Senate seat tonight at […]
