Half of Gen Z Voters Said They’ve Lied About Who They’re Voting For

/0 Comments/in , /by

Nearly half of Gen Z voters said they have lied to friends and family about who they have or will vote for in the presidential election.

The latest Axios-Harris Poll survey found that 48% of voters between the ages of 18 and 27 have lied about their votes. Comparatively, nearly 1 in 4 voters said they have lied overall. Millennial voters were the second most likely age group to lie, with 38%. Only 6% of baby boomers and older said they have lied about their vote.

Gen Z voters began to vote in presidential elections starting in 2016 when the highly polarizing former President Donald Trump first ran.

The poll found that 44% of Gen Z citizens and 47% of millennials said they weren’t close to some family members because of opposing political beliefs.

“There’s a new privacy emerging here, where it’s far more convenient to either lie or not talk about it,” said John Gerzema, CEO of The Harris Poll. (Read more from “Half of Gen Z Voters Said They’ve Lied About Who They’re Voting For” HERE)

Judge Kills Case That Would Require Pennsylvania To Verify Overseas Voters’ Identities

/3 Comments/in , /by

Pennsylvania election policies for overseas voters have created vulnerabilities that could lead to corruption according to a court case. With early voting underway, the Pennsylvania Department of State and six members of Congress have been in a legal battle over whether these voters’ identities should be verified before they are given a ballot.

But the case was dismissed Tuesday, at the request of Pennsylvania Secretary of State Al Schmidt, not based on the merits of the case but because of timing. Plaintiffs “delayed too long to file their action, they lack standing, they have failed to join indispensable parties, and they have failed to articulate a viable cause of action,” Judge Christopher C. Conner of the U.S. Middle District Court of Pennsylvania said in his decision.

The case was brought by U.S. Reps. Guy Reschenthaler, Dan Meuser, Glenn “G.T.” Thompson, Lloyd Smucker, Mike Kelly, and Scott Perry, who joined the action later.

The case stems from guidance the state gave counties regarding the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), a federal law that assures American citizens who are out of the country can still vote. Sometimes UOCAVA voters are called military voters because they used to be mostly military. But since 2014, nonmilitary voters have outpaced those in the military, data from the Election Administration and Voting Survey shows.

Voters who have lived outside the United States for years and are not sure if they will return may vote in Pennsylvania’s election. (Read more from “Judge Kills Case That Would Require Pennsylvania To Verify Overseas Voters’ Identities” HERE)

Tucker Carlson Rips Party of ‘Single Most Useless People’ in America, Declares Trump Is ‘Gonna Win’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Daily Caller News Foundation co-founder Tucker Carlson took aim at the Democratic Party during Sunday’s Trump rally, confidently declaring his belief that the former president will win the 2024 election in under 10 days.

Thousands of Trump supporters flooded the typically liberal city on Sunday afternoon, filling Madison Square Garden to kick off the campaign’s final week before Election Day. Joining a lineup of Republican figures like businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, Florida Rep. Byron Donalds and former Democrat Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard — Carlson took the stage, quickly voicing his confidence in a Trump victory.

” … That’s Donald Trump, back in the city that produced him with no embarrassment at all in a room full of his friends. The stones that takes, the bravery that takes is incredible. Donald Trump’s gonna win. He’s gonna win. I know that that’s true,” Carlson said.

“The people he’s about to defeat have no idea and they’re panicked,” Carlson added. “They have no idea why, people like Donald Trump, and their first theory was, ‘Well, Donald Trump is evil, so half the country’s evil also,’ and that’s one of the reasons they spent the last four years trying to destroy the country, because they’re mad at its voters for liking Donald Trump.”

Carlson continued to call out Democrats’ confusion over voter support for Trump, noting two reasons the former president is popular: his genuine “affection” for voters and the “liberation” he believes Trump has brought to Americans. Carlson argued that, through this liberation, voters have started to see through the “lies” of the Democratic Party, pointing to what he claims is their biggest lie — convincing others they’re “impressive.”

Actor Encourages ‘Closeted Conservatives’ in Hollywood To Speak Out: ‘It’s Now or Never’

/14 Comments/in , , /by

Actor Zachary Levi encouraged the “closeted conservatives” in Hollywood to come out publicly after his endorsement of former President Trump.

During an Instagram Live video Sunday, the 44-year-old “Shazam” star addressed “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg’s claim that Hollywood was a “right-leaning town” where “very few people seem to bite it because they’re Republican.”

Levi disagreed with her comments, pointing out that she was only able to name actors Jon Voight and Dennis Quaid as examples out of the thousands working in Hollywood today. He added actors like them seem to only come out as Republican “at a certain level of your career to get away with it.”

“And what that means is there’s plenty — and by the way, they have sent me lots of messages — plenty of people in my industry in Hollywood that are terrified to publicly say that they would vote for Donald Trump or be conservative in any way,” Levi said. “That’s why you don’t see them. That’s why they’re not very prevalent or prominent because they know that there’s ramifications for this kind of s—.” . . .

“So anyway, my cry to all of you out there, you closeted conservatives, closeted Trump voters, y’all, it’s now or never, you know what I mean?” Levi said. “Do whatever you feel like you need to do. If you need to come out publicly and say it, if you feel like you still can’t, then don’t. I would never pressure you to do that, but know that if what you’re afraid of is somehow the backlash of an industry that’s not going to exist very soon, then don’t let that hold you back.” (Read more from “Actor Encourages ‘Closeted Conservatives’ in Hollywood To Speak Out: ‘It’s Now or Never’” HERE)

Prediction of ‘Protests in the Streets, Possibly Violent’ When 2024 Votes Counted

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A longtime political pundit, Frank Miele, retired editor of the Daily Inter Lake in Kalispell, Montana, now a commentator at RealClearPolitics, has written about what he expects when the presidential election ballots are counted in just two weeks.

The author of “The Media Matrix: What If Everything You Know Is Fake,” explains at Real Clear Wire that President Donald Trump, “will win, and he will win convincingly.”

“But that doesn’t mean the progressive left won’t have a meltdown. Just as in 2016, when Trump was first elected president, the media will be dismayed, the Democrats will be shocked, and there will be protests in the streets, possibly violent. Congressional Democrats such as Jamie Raskin will try to prevent Trump from being sworn in by declaring him an insurrectionist,” he explained.

He says that while there are seven battleground states that “are supposed to decide the election,” bigger is the fact that the American people “in large measure have come to regret the election that put Joe Biden in the White House four years ago.”

That was the election that Trump is accused in court of trying to “overturn.” It’s the election he’s cited as having been stolen. Actually, there were several undue influences on that result, in the midst of COVID. Mark Zuckerberg handed out $400 million plus to local election officials who often used the extra cash to recruit Democrat voters. The other was the FBI’s interference, when it falsely labeled the Hunter Biden laptop computer scandal as disinformation and told publishers to suppress it. A later polling showed that information, accurate as it was, very likely would have turned the results of the election around had it been reported ordinarily.

/1 Comment/in , , /by

One of the most pivotal battleground states in the 2024 election has now seen more than 1.4 million residents cast their ballots early.

Georgia has been shattering turnout records since early voting began on Tuesday.

As of Monday morning, the Georgia state elections website showed 1,347,843 ballots were cast in person so far, while just over 80,000 absentee ballots have been returned and accepted.

“Today there is Sunday voting in several counties. And AGAIN the voters have set another record,” Gabriel Sterling, chief operating officer in the Georgia Secretary of State’s office, wrote on X yesterday. . .

The Sunday total wound up being just over 42,400 votes cast – nearly double the 2022 tally. (Read more from “Critical Battleground State Shatters Early Voting Records as Americans Show up in Droves” HERE)

Elon Musk Hands Man $1 Million Check at Town Hall, Says It Will Happen Every Day Until Election

/0 Comments/in , /by

Billionaire Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk announced during a town hall in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, that he will be giving away $1 million each day to a randomly-selected person in the state who has signed the America PAC petition.

“So, I have a surprise for you, which is that we’re going to be awarding a million dollars randomly to people who have signed the petition every day from now until the election,” Musk said at the town hall.

The billionaire then spoke about the difficulties of getting the word out about the petition because “legacy media won’t report on it.”

“This news, I think, is gonna really fly,” Musk added.

Musk had announced that his America PAC would give $47 to anyone who refers a registered swing state voter to sign a petition supporting the First and Second Amendments. America PAC already raised the referral payment in Pennsylvania from $47 to $100 and Musk has made multiple appearances on the campaign trail for former President Donald Trump.

Justice Dept. Sues State for Allegedly Purging Noncitizens From Voter Rolls Too Close to Election

/4 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. Department of Justice is suing Virginia, alleging that the commonwealth removed noncitizens from its voter rolls too close to Election Day.

The complaint alleges that the state Board of Elections and Virginia Commissioner of Elections Susan Beals violated the federal National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), which mandates that states must complete their maintenance program no later than 90 days before an election under a clause known as the Quiet Period Provision.

The agency alleges that Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin violated the NVRA when announcing and subsequently carrying out an executive order which required the election commissioner to regularly update the state’s voter lists to remove individuals who have been “identified as noncitizens,” and had not responded to a request to verify their citizenship in 14 days.

Under Youngkin’s executive order, Virginia has removed 6,303 individuals.

“The Executive Order formalized the Program and announced that 6,303 individuals had been removed from the rolls pursuant to the same process between January 2022 and July 2024,” the complaint said.

West Virginia Resolution Would Prohibit State From Recognizing a President Elected by Fraud

/2 Comments/in , , /by

As the 2024 presidential election approaches, it is widely expected that Republican candidate Donald Trump will secure a decisive victory in West Virginia, capturing the state’s four electoral votes with ease. However, a group of Republican lawmakers in West Virginia’s House of Delegates is pushing for the state to take a more prominent stance on the legitimacy of the election itself.

Five members of the House of Delegates recently introduced House Concurrent Resolution 203, which challenges the integrity of the upcoming national election. The resolution declares that the West Virginia Legislature will refuse to acknowledge the results of a presidential election deemed “illegitimate.” Central to their claim is the assertion that there is “overwhelming evidence” suggesting non-citizens are being registered to vote in the 2024 election.

The resolution’s language goes beyond general concerns and specifically outlines a variety of scenarios under which West Virginia could withhold recognition of the election outcome. The lawmakers’ concerns focus on allegations of election fraud or tampering in any state, implying that even isolated incidents of interference could invalidate the entire election in their eyes. According to the text of the resolution, if “election interference” is detected, West Virginia would not accept the election of the president, raising questions about how the state might handle certification of results and participate in the broader electoral process.

While Trump’s victory in the state seems certain, this move by Republican delegates signals a deeper skepticism about the national election process and could be indicative of broader challenges to the outcome if similar sentiments take hold in other states. The introduction of the resolution also highlights ongoing divisions within the country regarding election security, with some lawmakers continuing to push narratives that question the legitimacy of election processes and results on a broader scale.

Here’s the full language of the resolution:

HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 203

(By Delegates Ridenour, Mazzocchi, Dillon, Longanacre, Coop-Gonzalez, Foster, Foggin, Steele, and Butler)

[Introduced October 6, 2024; referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.]

Requesting that the West Virginia Legislature shall not recognize an illegitimate presidential election.

Whereas, a Constitutionally valid government only exists and endures when elections are conducted in accordance with all applicable legal requirements and are free of violence or threats of violence, government manipulation, censorship, coercion, fraudulent voting, or manipulation of votes, election tabulation, and/or election results by any means whatsoever; and that

Whereas, in the 2024 election cycle there have been, to date, two assassination attempts on the Republican nominee for President of the United States while threats of assassination of the Republican nominees for president and vice president abound. The federal government, under the current Democrat-led regime, has utterly failed, and continues to fail, in a suspicious manner, in its absolute duty to adequately protect the Republican nominee for president; and that

Whereas, the Constitutions of the United States and the State of West Virginia require that only legal citizens may vote in U.S. and West Virginia elections, and that there is abundant evidence that non-citizens have been and are being registered to vote in the national election of 2024; therefore, be it

Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:

That, the sovereign State of West Virginia declares it will not recognize an election for President if such election is enabled by illegal or fraudulent acts; and be it

Further Resolved, That, the State of West Virginia will not recognize any election of the Democrat candidate for President during the 2024 election cycle if the Republican presidential or vice-presidential candidate is assassinated, seriously injured during an assassination attempt, incarcerated, de facto eliminated or barred from the ballot in any states, or is the subject of legal actions that preclude their effective campaigning; and be it

Further Resolved, That, the State of West Virginia will not recognize an election of a candidate for President during the 2024 election cycle if the Attorney General of West Virginia or the Secretary of State of West Virginia, in consultation with the West Virginia Legislature, determine that election fraud in any state was a major reason that resulted in a candidate for President obtaining a majority in the Electoral College. Election fraud includes non-citizen voting, vote buying, ballot forgery, illegal or illicit ballot harvesting, illegal or illicit discarding of legal votes or voter registrations, ballot miscounts, algorithmic manipulation of votes or vote tabulations, cyber-attack or manipulation, or intimidation. Election fraud also includes interference by any government entities, including arrests or prosecutions for apparent political motives, or other forms of persecution using legal or official processes, to negatively affect an electoral process, or a political entity participating in an electoral process, using unconstitutional, extraconstitutional, illegal, or otherwise illegitimate means, including those under the color of law or office; and be it

Further Resolved, That, the State of West Virginia will not recognize an election of a candidate for President, if the Attorney General of West Virginia or the Secretary of State of West Virginia, in consultation with the West Virginia Legislature, determine that election interference by the federal government, foreign governments, or other state governments was a key factor that resulted in a candidate for President obtaining a majority in the Electoral College. Election interference includes censorship, information suppression or manipulation, or other unconstitutional, extraconstitutional, illegal, or otherwise illegitimate actions by the federal government, foreign governments, or other state governments, either directly or in collusion with elements of the media, social media entities, information entities, or political entities; and be it

Further Resolved, Thereupon a determination by the Legislature of West Virginia, in consultation with the Attorney General and Secretary of State, of either the illegal or illicit elimination of the Republican presidential or vice presidential candidate during the 2024 election cycle; or election fraud or election interference resulting in the Constitutionally illegitimate selection of a President during the 2024 election cycle, the Legislature will be called into special session by the Governor to consider actions to preserve the Freedom of our People.

Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House forward a copy of this resolution to the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia, the Secretary of State of West Virginia, and the Governor of West Virginia; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House forward a copy of this resolution to the United States Congress.

Conservatives Reveal Plan To Awaken Sleeping Giant Voter Demographic That Could Decide White House, Senate

/2 Comments/in , /by

A crumbling economy and porous border, or the scary project 2025 and loss of “reproductive rights”; those are the messages both parties are inundating Americans with as election day rapidly approaches.

But if Republicans hope to reach the estimated 10 million gun owners not registered to vote, hunting and pro-gun organizations alike know traditional messaging won’t do it. A coalition of pro-gun organizations believe those non-voters could swing the election, and are using hunting and firearm influencers, social media and messaging catered specifically towards gun owners to engage them.

“Bill Clinton acknowledged, as did Clinton’s campaign, the White House spokesman Joel Lockhart admitted, that the gun vote cost Al Gore the White House. It cost John Kerry the White House. It cost the Democrats control of Congress in 1994 after they passed the Clinton gun ban, and we believe it can be a determinative factor in this election in places where there’s high gun ownership, in places like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Montana, Arizona, Nevada,” Larry Keane, senior vice president and general counsel for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, told the Daily Caller.

“We believe [gun owners] will be a determinant factor, particularly when the contrast is so stark. You have a candidate on the Democrat side who was coronated and wants to literally, wants to send the police to your home to see how you store your guns, and wants to confiscate firearms,” Keane added.

Former President Donald Trump himself believes gun owners can sway the election. Speaking at a recent rally, he said that the National Rifle Association had shown him numbers about how infrequently gun owners vote. “If you would vote, nobody would beat us,” Trump said.
