The U.S. Supreme Court acted in the best interests of the voters of South Carolina on Monday by dissolving a preliminary injunction issued by a lower court.
One of the constant refrains from those who oppose election reforms designed to protect the security and integrity of the voting process is that serious vote fraud is a myth.
The progressive left has created a false hue and cry about a supposed loss of voting rights.
"Nothing lasts longer than a temporary government program," President Reagan once said. That adage certainly applies to the Temporary Protected Status program. TPS was intended to give only short-term permission for aliens to be in the U.S., but that permission has often gone on seemingly without end.
For years we have exposed vulnerabilities in our election systems. Yet the mainstream media has shown no interest in reporting any of these problems, which can lead to election fraud or administrative errors and mistakes by election officials. Quite the opposite. Even once respectable media companies like Reuters play for the other team, the side that denies election fraud and hides breakdowns in the election process.
U.S. District Court Judge Stanley Bastian last week issued a nationwide injunction preventing the U.S. Postal Service from implementing reforms to its inefficient and wasteful procedures, which will affect postal operations across the country. The Sept. 17 ruling is the latest in a string of factually challenged attacks on Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.
Two years ago, the citizens of Florida made it clear where they stood when it came to felons voting: They approved Amendment 4, which requires prisoners to complete all the requirements of their sentence before their ability to vote is restored — including paying any court-ordered restitution to the victims of their crimes. Now, in Jones v. Florida, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld the constitutionality of their decision.
As regular listeners of National Public Radio know, the taxpayer-funded outlet regularly disparages the idea that any type of fraud occurs in our elections. Now, research by the Public Interest Legal Foundation has turned up information pointing to possible election fraud by NPR employees.
It's becoming increasingly clear that we should conduct the November election in as normal a manner as possible. We should have as many of our regular polling places open as we can — and we should resist the ongoing push to have an all-mail election or a massive increase in absentee balloting with an elimination of the protective protocols in place for such ballots.
The decision this week by the full U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia overriding a three-judge panel's ruling that would have allowed criminal charges against former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn to be dismissed was flawed, but not unexpected.
A recent New York Times piece about the presidential election reads more like an article in The Onion or Babylon Bee. It claims that "President Trump's litigiousness and unfounded claims of fraud have increased the likelihood of epic postelection court fights."
President Trump has correctly pointed out that mail-in elections can be plagued with fraud and other serious problems, making it impossible to know who the winner is in a close race. But can these problems require that we hold the November presidential election a second time, as he suggested Tuesday might be necessary?
Glenn Kessler, the so-called "fact checker" at The Washington Post, this week called out Vice President Mike Pence's answer to an interview question about election fraud. But it's Kessler, not Pence, who deserves four "Pinocchios" for many of the misleading claims he makes about it in his column.
Many people misinterpreted President Donald Trump's tweet Thursday morning about a possible delay in the Nov. 3 election as a threat by him to postpone the election. But that's not what his tweet said—and in any event, no president has the power to delay Election Day.
The House of Representatives will likely vote later this week on H.R. 7617, a 1,165-page behemoth that would spend more than $1 trillion in taxpayers' money and put a raft of troubling policies into place.
I often write about the latest developments in the election area, including court decisions and legislative and regulatory changes. An unprecedented number of lawsuits have been filed by the radical left (at last count over 150 and counting) trying to use the COVID-19 health crisis as an excuse to nullify state requirements like voter ID laws.
No question about it: some people need absentee ballots — those with disabilities, those living abroad and others who can't make it to the polls on Election Day. But pushing for more absentee balloting — even all-mail elections — is unwise. It would make election fraud far easier.
Michael Flynn's attorney has fired another broadside at Judge Emmet Sullivan, the trial judge presiding over his case.
Members of the military, uniformed and civilian, are strictly prohibited from engaging in overt political activities. Those rules exist to keep them focused on their mission — defending the nation.
Even those who cheered the Supreme Court's controversial ruling last month regarding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program had to know the battle wasn't over. It was, at best, a temporary stay of execution for DACA on purely technical grounds.
