Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) has finally conceded the election to Republican challenger David McCormick. This comes after numerous PA County election boards were illegally continuing to count ballots, with Bucks County openly defying the law on camera, and a final recount in which it would be determined the red surge was too big to cheat. This gives the Republicans a 53-47 majority in the Senate.
PA Dems are still counting alleged votes in an effort to protect Bob Casey (D-PA) from losing his seat to Dave McCormick (R-PA). Now, the drawn-out process is moving to the “recount phase.”
Recount begins in Pennsylvania Senate race with McCormick leading Casey by about 16,000 votes – cbsnews.com Source Link Excerpt:
The race for one of Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senate seats still isn’t over. An automatic recount started Wednesday and state law requires all counties to complete their recount by Nov. 26.
Officials in Philadelphia say it could take up to four days to tabulate all the ballots cast in the state’s largest city. Election staffers in Philadelphia got back to work Wednesday in a warehouse in Northeast Philly counting ballots for the second time.
“That is a staggeringly close number considering that 36,604 Philadelphians chose to undervote the race,” said Philadelphia Commissioner Lisa M Deeley (D), meaning they voted for President but skipped over the Senate race.
“This should serve as a wake-up call for all voters in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. These down-ballot races, they matter,” she added.
During a recount, state law requires that ballots get counted on a different machine than was used the first time as a way to verify accuracy.
City Commissioner Seth Bluestein (R) said: “We want to make sure the ballots are being scanned on different types of technology so we can be confident in the results.”
The state will publish the final results of the recount the day before Thanksgiving. Casey has not conceded but McCormick has already declared victory in this race.
This is the fourth time the state has conducted a recount in an election since 2004. None of those times did the recount change the outcome.

Dozens of Bucks County Republicans gathered outside the county administration building Wednesday morning to condemn Democratic commissioners’ vote to count undated or misdated mail ballots, a move that the state Supreme Court struck down.

PA Governor Josh Shapiro (D) has come out to urge PA County PA Election Boards to stop their effort to illegally count unregistered ballots after the PA SCOTUS ordered them to stop. Shapiro said “Any insinuation that our laws can be ignored or do not matter is irresponsible and does damage to faith in our electoral process. The rule of law matters in Pennsylvania. … It is critical for counties in both parties to respect it with both their rhetoric and their actions.”
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro sides with state’s high court over ballot counting – Fox News Source Link Excerpt:
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro is siding with the state’s high court after the justices ruled that faulty mail-in ballots can’t be counted amid a contentious recount, delivering a victory to Republican Party officials.
The state Supreme Court reaffirmed its prior decision in a 4–3 ruling Monday that counties cannot count incorrectly dated or undated ballots. The decision singled out the Boards of Elections in Bucks County, Montgomery County, and Philadelphia County, whom they said “SHALL COMPLY with the prior rulings of this Court in which we have clarified” for mail-in and absentee ballots in their Nov. 1 ruling.
“Any insinuation that our laws can be ignored or do not matter is irresponsible and does damage to faith in our electoral process,” said Shapiro, a Democrat. “The rule of law matters in Pennsylvania. … It is critical for counties in both parties to respect it with both their rhetoric and their actions.”
As governor, Shapiro said he would “continue working to protect our democracy and the votes of all eligible Pennsylvanians.”

The high court initially ruled on Nov. 1 that mail-in ballots without formally required signatures or dates should not be counted. Democratic-led election boards, however — including in Philadelphia, Bucks County, Montgomery County, and Centre County — balked at the ruling and voted to include such ballots in the recount.
“People violate laws any time they want,” Democratic Bucks County commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia said last week, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. “So, for me, if I violate this law it’s because I want a court to pay attention. There’s nothing more important than counting votes.”
Monday’s ruling came amid a slew of lawsuits filed by Republican Party officials in the midst of an aggressive Senate recount effort following the narrow victory of GOP candidate David McCormick over three-term Democrat Sen. Bob Casey.

McCormick had defeated Casey by some 17,000 ballots in the state, or within the 0.5% margin of error. The narrow victory allowed Casey to qualify for an automatic recount under Pennsylvania law.
The Republican National Committee criticized Shapiro for not speaking up sooner in defense of the court’s actions.
“Heartening to see. Once Democrats came to the conclusion that even ignoring the Pennsylvania Supreme Court can’t scrape up enough ballots to win…,” RNC Chair Michael Whatley wrote on X. “Governor Shapiro suddenly discovers that he stands with the rule of law. Better late than never.”

President Donald Trump has chosen Brendan Carr to be the next char of the Federal Communications Commission. Trump called him “a warrior for Free Speech.”
Carr is pledging to “impose transparency rules on Big Tech” and seek to support legislations that “scraps Section 230’s current approach. He wants “reforms that prohibit discrimination against core political viewpoints (that) would track the approach taken in a social medial law passed in Texas.”
Trump’s FCC Pick Would Restrict Editorial Discretion of Social Media Platforms – Reason Source Link Excerpt:
Announcing his choice of Brendan Carr as chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on Sunday, President-elect Donald Trump described him as “a warrior for Free Speech,” which sounds good until you ask what Trump means by that. Carr, who has served as a Republican FCC commissioner since Trump appointed him during his first term in August 2017, believes that promoting freedom of speech requires curtailing liability protections for social media platforms and restricting their editorial discretion.
Carr’s agenda for “reining in Big Tech,” as described in the chapter that he contributed to the Heritage Foundation’s 2025 Mandate for Leadership, includes new FCC rules aimed at restricting the liability protection offered by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Carr also supports regulations that would “impose transparency rules on Big Tech” and legislation that “scraps Section 230’s current approach.” He favors “reforms that prohibit discrimination against core political viewpoints,” which he says “would track the approach taken in a social media law passed in Texas.”
In 1989, Tim Walz had a secret affair with the daughter of a powerful member of the Chinese Communist Party. This was during one of his long stays in China where he taught High School. Jenna Wang, 59, spilled the beans on Walz recently, claiming the relationship broke off when Tim failed to commit. She called Walz’ behavior “very selfish.”
Tim Walz Once Had An Affair With Daughter of Top Chinese Communist Official – PJ Media– pjmedia.com Source Link Excerpt:
… According to the report, Walz had a secret romance with the daughter of a high-ranking Communist Party official during his 1989 teaching stint in China. Jenna Wang, now 59, recounts how Walz wooed her with thoughtful gifts and late-night encounters in his modest staff accommodation at Foshan’s No. 1 High School in Guangdong Province.
The couple naturally kept their relationship under wraps, aware that public displays of affection were off-limits given Wang’s father’s powerful position in the Chinese Communist Party, which forbade relationships with Westerners. But behind closed doors, their bond grew as they shared tea, George Michael songs (hilarious), and quiet moments together, fueling the then 24-year-old Wang’s dreams of marriage and a fresh start in the United States.
No proposal was forthcoming from the future Minnesota governor, however, and the shame of being treated ‘like a prostitute’ eventually left Wang feeling angry and suicidal, she claims.
‘Tim was very passionate and very romantic. I can still remember dancing with him to our favorite song, Careless Whisper,’ she told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview.
‘The fact we couldn’t touch or kiss in public just made it all the more exciting and intense when we were finally alone.
‘We were deeply in love and I wanted to marry him and start a family. When it didn’t happen, I felt very unhappy and sad. Tim’s behavior was very selfish.’
Walz’s time in China is already a source of controversy after he misleadingly claimed in interviews and congressional transcripts that he was in Hong Kong when the Tiananmen Square protests erupted from April to June of 1989.
Hillary Clinton seems to be working hard to activate more would-be Trump assassins with her latest violence-inciting rhetoric in which she alleges Trump is holding a rally at Madison Square Garden because a KKK rally was once held there. She follows libelous stories from the DNC-CCP info terror machine, the MSM accusing Trump of practically being Hitler.
Clinton’s rhetoric echoes Kamala Harris, the unelected DNC-CCP nominee who used her official place of residence to market a slanderous lie accusing Trump of admiring Hitler and planning on using the military to target his political enemies. The craziest claim might be from Tim Walz, who told Duke University students that they’re “on a list” and Trump will use the military to hunt them down and detain them.
Hillary Clinton says Trump’s MSG rally will ‘reenact’ Nazi event– www.washingtonexaminer.com Source Link Excerpt:
Hillary Clinton said that former President Donald Trump will “reenact” a 1939 Nazi event at his Madison Square Garden rally in New York City on Sunday.
Clinton, who lost the presidential election to Trump in 2016, has been one of his biggest critics, recently turning up the heat on the former president by calling his rhetoric “blatantly fascist.” And during a Thursday CNN interview with anchor Kaitlan Collins, she accused him of a new strategy.
“One other thing that you’ll see next week, Kaitlin, is Trump actually reenacting the [Nazi] Madison Square Garden rally in 1939. I write about this in my book,” Clinton, a former New York senator, said. “President Franklin Roosevelt was appalled that neo-nazis, fascists in America were lining up to essentially pledge their support for the kind of government that they were seeing in Germany. So I don’t think we can ignore it.”

Kamala Harris Uses White House to Incite Violence Against Trump by Calling Him a Hitler Lover – Kamala Harris, speaking from the White House’s Vice President’s Residence, told the American people an overt lie aimed at sowing hatred, anger, and fear in her troops that might inspire them to act violently and fraudulently to assure the evil man never gets in office again.
She perpetuated the false story spread by the DNC-CCP media that President Trump admired Hitler’s loyal Generals, saying, “So, yesterday, we learned that Donald Trump’s former chief of staff, John Kelly, a retired four-star general, confirmed that while Donald Trump was president, he said he wanted generals like Adolf Hitler had.”
“It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler, the man who is responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans. All of this is further evidence for the American people of who Donald Trump really is. This is a window into who Donald Trump really is from the people who know him best, from the people who worked with him side by side in the Oval Office and in the Situation Room.”
Her rhetoric from the White House has led to one man, Representative Cory Mills (R-FL) to formally request the DOK investigate Kamala Harris for committing “potential criminal misconduct.”
He said in a letter, “While the Hatch Act, which prohibits using official resources to support partisan political campaigns, does not apply to the President and Vice President in civil provisions, it does not exempt them from criminal provisions.”
“In Federal law, it is a crime for any federal officer or employee to “use his official authority for the purpose of interfering with, or affecting, the nomination or the election of any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, Member of the House of Representatives.”

Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) has formally requested the Biden-Harris Gestapo Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate Kamala Harris for potential criminal misconduct following a highly politicized press conference.
Mills is pointing to federal laws that prohibit any federal officer or employee from using their official authority to interfere with or influence an election—a line Harris crossed when she used the office of the Vice President to launch vicious attacks against Donald Trump.
On Wednesday, just 13 days before Election Day, Harris delivered a desperate three-minute unhinged tirade against Trump, invoking debunked smears and inflammatory rhetoric at the official residence of the Vice President, located at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., flanked by the official seal of the Vice President.
Kamala Harris took to the podium on Wednesday to launch a vicious attack on former President Donald Trump
Harris wasted no time in seizing on the outrageous claim, stating that Trump wanted a military that was “loyal to him personally” and suggesting that he would use the military to target American citizens who opposed him.
Harris went as far as to accuse Trump of comparing himself to Hitler.
“We know what Donald Trump wants. He wants unchecked power. The question, in thirteen days, will be what do the American people want?” Kamala said…
Mills’s letter, addressed to Garland, reads:
As you are likely aware, earlier today Vice President Kamala Harris gave what was billed as a “press conference” at the official VP residence. In the under three-minute speech VP Harris only made vicious political attacks on Republican Presidential Candidate and Former President, Donald J. Trump.
After making multiple defamatory references to Hitler and claiming he would use the American military to go after American citizens, she concluded saying, “We know what Donald Trump wants. He wants unchecked power. The question, in thirteen days, will be what do the American people want?”
While the Hatch Act, which prohibits using official resources to support partisan political campaigns, does not apply to the President and Vice President in civil provisions, it does not exempt them from criminal provisions.
In Federal law, it is a crime for any federal officer or employee to “use his official authority for the purpose of interfering with, or affecting, the nomination or the election of any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, Member of the House of Representatives.”
Recognizing this concern and as Attorney General, you issued a strict prohibition to your political appointees from participating in campaign-related activities in any capacity.
As Attorney General, you answer to the President, but your oath is to the Constitution and the laws of the United States.
I ask that you investigate today’s questionless “press conference” as it appears to be a direct use of official authority to affect the upcoming election. Given the proximity to the election, the American people deserve timely answers.”

Kamala Harris Is Trying to Get Trump Shot at Again – PJ Media– pjmedia.com Source Link Excerpt:
In a shocking display of political desperation, Kamala Harris made another blatant Hail Mary attempt to stop Donald Trump. Only this time, her rhetoric might get him killed.
On Wednesday, the New York Times published a hit piece against Donald Trump, quoting his former Chief of Staff, John Kelly. Kamala Harris, seeking to capitalize on this weak story, spoke from the Vice President’s residence to address it.
“So, yesterday, we learned that Donald Trump’s former chief of staff, John Kelly, a retired four-star general, confirmed that while Donald Trump was president, he said he wanted generals like Adolf Hitler had,” she began. With this incendiary remark, she not only rehashed her stale talking points but also risked reigniting the dangerous narrative that has previously inspired attempts on Trump’s life.
“It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler, the man who is responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans,” Kamala continued. “All of this is further evidence for the American people of who Donald Trump really is. This is a window into who Donald Trump really is from the people who know him best, from the people who worked with him side by side in the Oval Office and in the Situation Room.”
CNN Contributor Points Out Glaring Flaw In Kamala’s Latest Effort To Link President Trump To Hitler– wltreport.com Source Link Excerpt:
Time is running out before Election Day, and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris appears to be increasingly desperate.
As President Donald Trump’s advantage grows in nationwide and battleground state polls, Harris has latched on to a widely debunked claim that Trump once voiced his admiration for Adolf Hitler.
Not only did the Trump campaign unequivocally deny any such allegation, but CNN pundit Scott Jennings offered a scathing assessment of Harris’ latest line of attack.
“It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler, the man who was responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans,” the Democrat presidential nominee said in her remarks, which oddly enough were delivered from the vice presidential residence.
While both the former president and his presidential campaign have responded accordingly, GOP strategist/political analyst Scott Jennings, fresh off of triggering his colleagues on the Doug Emhoff abuse scandal, brought up another great point during a Wednesday CNN segment about why Harris’ argument about Trump bombs so badly:
It probably will shock Kamala Harris and the rest of her campaign staff to learn that there are incumbent Democrat US Senators in this country right now running television ads touting all their work with this “modern-day Hitler.”

VP Kamala Harris decided to give a three minute speech repeating lies placed in The Atlantic on Tuesday.
No, Trump brought up Rommel. Maybe someone should remind Harris and everyone else that those in charge of the Allies even admired Rommel:
During the height of Rommel’s success in North Africa, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill sang his praises before the House of Commons. “We have a very daring and skillful opponent against us,” Churchill declared, “and, may I say across the havoc of war, a great general.” George Patton, Bernard Montgomery and other top Allied generals likewise expressed their respect for him, and Rommel responded in kind, saying of Patton that “we saw the most astonishing achievement in mobile warfare,” and that “Montgomery never made a serious strategic mistake.”

Former President Bill Clinton made the case that Harris is a stronger candidate to tackle inflation than Trump, taking on an issue that has bedeviled the Democratic ticket during a speech to Black Democrats in Phoenix.
Trump complains about rising prices but only Harris has come forward with realistic plans to rein in costs for food, housing and energy, he said. He touted her proposals to crack down on price gouging, increase housing supply and support domestic production of both renewable energy and fossil fuels.
“What did she say? ‘Let’s solve the problem.’ What did he say? ‘Let’s lay the blame,’” Clinton said. “I’m telling you, if you want a president to do a real job, you have to find somebody who will take responsibility and find a better way.”
Clinton called Trump “mister brand and blame,” portraying him as a person at home attacking his rivals but not solving problems.

Media Pushing Another Fake News Story about Trump Making Fun of Dead U.S. Soldier– lidblog.com Source Link Excerpt:
Fake news purveyor (that means liar) Jeffrey Goldberg is making a stab at an “October surprise” to help Democrats win the 2024 election with a false story about Trump supposedly disparaging a U,S, soldier who died in service.
Goldberg published his latest lie in The Atlantic with the claim that Trump made fun of a slain Mexican-American Army private when he was president the first time. The partisan liar claimed that the story came from Natalie Khawam, the attorney for the family of the slain soldier, 20-year-old Vanessa Guillén.
Guillén was murdered in 2020 by another soldier at Fort Hood. When her body was discovered and preparations were made to bury the soldier, Trump reportedly disparaged the dead soldier.
“It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!” Goldberg claims Trump said of the Mexican-American soldier.
KJP Calls Trump A “Fascist” In Unhinged Rant During Press Briefing– www.louderwithcrowder.com Source Link Excerpt:
Many on the left are in crisis mode, as Kamala’s performance in this campaign was as retarded as she is. This typically would be nothing more than a personal problem but the Dems are trying to make it your problem, as the left pushes conspiracy theories with more evidence to disapprove it than back it up.
It’s unclear if the whole pretending Trump is “literally” Hitler was intended to win over swing voters in middle America but this tactic has not proven to bring the success the Dems hoped for. The left has thrown everything at Trump and slandered him into oblivion, and the fact that they think pretending Trump is “literally” Hitler will do anything to move the goalpost is not only pathetic but deeply unserious.
You cannot lie to voters for 8 years and expect them to believe this propaganda like its gospel. This didn’t work in 2016, it may or may not have worked in 2020, and it is definitely not working now. So while the left is also trying to bring Jan. 6 back as if anyone remotely cares, the Dems are resorting to an oldie but a good one, which is to call Trump a “fascist.”
Top election official in politically crucial Nevada county says she was forced out – Washington Times Source Link Excerpt:
The top election official in one of the nation’s most politically important counties said Wednesday she was forced out of her role just weeks before the November presidential election, disputing an official statement that she asked for a leave after experiencing “stress issues.”
The abrupt departure of Cari-Ann Burgess as the interim registrar of voters in northern Nevada’s Washoe County one month ago is the latest sign of turmoil in a county that has been roiled for four years by people pushing election conspiracy theories. Washoe, which includes Reno, is a swing county in a state where this year’s presidential contest is expected to be narrowly decided.
Burgess told The Associated Press in an interview that she had refused personnel changes sought by the county manager’s office and had offered to step down and return to her prior position as deputy. She said she was told that was not possible.

A Georgia judge decided on Oct. 15 to block a rule about the state hand-counting ballots on election day amid concerns that it could slow down announcing election results.
While Trump is leading across battleground states, the presidential race is still tight. The Republican candidate has a 1.2 point lead, pulling 48.4% support across seven top battleground states compared to Harris trailing behind at 47.2%, according to polling averages from RealClear Polling.
Harris is ahead of Trump nationwide, with a lead of 0.8 points at 49.3% compared to Trump’s 48.5%, according to national polling averages from RealClear Polling.
Trump has made significant strides among black voters. The Democrats have been attempting to shore up support for Harris from black voters amid concerns of weak enthusiasm from the key voting bloc.
“The most recent polling shows what Team Trump already knew, Georgians from Catoosa to Camden County are tired of the cost-of-living skyrocketing and drugs flowing across the open border into our communities,” Morgan Ackley, Georgia Communications Director for the Trump campaign said in a statement shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation. “President Trump is winning or tied in every battleground, including Georgia, because his message is resonating with voters across the country. This November Georgia will say no to Kamala Harris and yes to Donald Trump and his America First policies.”

Poll Of Arab Americans Stuns Political Pundits, Reveals Game-Changing Development– trendingpoliticsnews.com Source Link Excerpt:
With just two weeks left until Election Day, a new poll of Arab-American voters has shaken up the presidential race. The poll, conducted by YouGov and commissioned by Arab News Research & Studies Unit, reveals that former President Donald Trump holds a slight 2-point lead over Vice President Kamala Harris among Arab-American voters. The significant development comes as the Middle East conflict has taken center stage in the presidential campaigns since last year.
The poll indicates a strong expected turnout, with 87% of Arab-Americans planning to vote in the upcoming election. Palestine remains the top priority for many respondents, a factor that may be driving Trump’s slight lead. His administration’s past policy approaches to the Middle East, compared to Harris’s, appear to resonate with this voter bloc, especially as the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict dominates headlines.
The poll, conducted between September 26 and October 1, sampled 500 Arab-Americans nationwide. While the poll has a margin of error of +/- 5.93%, it sheds light on the candidates’ standings within this crucial demographic, which could sway results in battleground states like Michigan and Pennsylvania, where Arab-American populations are significant.
SENATE
Pennsylvania Senate Race Moves to ‘Toss Up’ as Dem Bob Casey Loses Ground: Cook Political Report– freebeacon.com Source Link Excerpt:
Pennsylvania’s Senate race has shifted from “lean Democrat” to a “toss up” as incumbent Sen. Bob Casey (D.) loses ground to his Republican challenger Dave McCormick just two weeks before Election Day, according to the Cook Political Report.
Cook stated that the race is now competitive enough to be considered a “toss up,” adding that “both Republican and Democratic internal polls show this is now a margin-of-error race, with Casey holding a slim, statistically insignificant lead of between one and two points.”
As his reelection prospects slip, Casey is aiming to appeal to Donald Trump voters, highlighting in an ad released last week his “siding with” the former president on a trade and tariffs bill in 2017.
Polling released Monday by Atlas Intel shows McCormick with a slight lead over Casey for the first time in the Senate race. Around 48.3 percent of respondents said they would vote for McCormick, while 47.1 percent supported Casey. In September, Casey led McCormick 47 percent to 45 percent, according to Atlas Intel.
Senate battle goes from bad to worse for Democrats – The Hill Source Link Excerpt:
Senate Democrats are facing an increasingly tough road to keeping their majority in the upper chamber as races in crucial swing states tighten with just two weeks until Election Day.
The path to 51 seats was always going to be a long shot for Democrats, who are facing a difficult Senate map featuring multiple incumbents in solidly GOP territory.
But now Democrats are also dealing with Republican candidates in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin quickly closing the gap. The nonpartisan election handicapper Cook Political Report this month shifted both races from “lean Democrat” to “toss-up.” Along with Michigan, the “blue wall” states are now all in the “toss-up” category.
This is heaping pressure on the party to hold the fort in the final stretch.
“This is never going to be easy,” Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) told reporters Tuesday at the Capitol. “But I believe these races are essentially tied. … To me, it feels like it’s 50-50 all the time.”
EARLY VOTING
If Early Vote Trend Continues, Trump Wins– www.breitbart.com Source Link Excerpt:
Early vote trends in swing states favor of former President Donald Trump and suggest “the election will be over on election day before we know who votes,” political analyst Mark Halperin said Tuesday on The Morning Meeting.
The trends will likely cause the Harris campaign to hit the panic button in the coming days with increased heated rhetoric meant to drive turnout among its supporters.
Halperin, an analyst who attempts to report data without spin, said the early vote in Nevada and North Carolina looks strong for Trump, which is far “more important than the polls right now.” Surveys show Vice President Kamala Harris and Trump virtually tied in all seven battleground states.
In Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, Republicans’ early vote trends look strong:
“We don’t know exactly who’s casting these ballots, how they’re voting, etc. But every analyst I’ve talked to in the last 24 hours, including people who speak publicly, say, ‘If this continues, Donald Trump can’t lose because the Democrats can’t possibly do well enough on election day,’” Halperin explained.
The 2020 election is a difficult benchmark to extrapolate to date, but the data appears to be in favor of Trump, Halperin added:
We don’t know what turnout is going to be like. This is a cycle coming out of the COVID cycle. Lots of things are shaken up, but I’ll say again, two things no one will tell you, no matter how partisan they are, no one will tell you that the early voting data is anything but scary for Democrats so far, and if on election day this trend continues, the election will be over on election day before we know who votes.
Early Voting Data From Historically-Blue Counties Shows Stunning Shift In Race– trendingpoliticsnews.com Source Link Excerpt:
With the 2024 election just two weeks away, new early voting data from key Florida counties indicates a noticeable shift that could reshape the presidential race. Traditionally strongholds for Democrats, these counties are showing unexpected Republican leads in early voting figures—a potential boost for former President Donald Trump as he campaigns against Vice President Kamala Harris in a high-stakes sprint to Election Day.
Republicans have gained ground in several prominent Florida counties, the data show, with early voting results revealing surprising Republican leads in historically blue territories. Here’s the current breakdown as of day 2 of early voting:
Duval County: R+4.6
Miami-Dade County: R+12.8
Palm Beach County: R+17.2
Hillsborough County: R+15.4
Pinellas County: R+25.5
Republicans see hints of an early voting edge over Democrats– www.washingtonexaminer.com Source Link Excerpt:
The Trump campaign is cautiously optimistic about early voting data from the seven battleground states two weeks before polls close on Nov. 5.
It’s a turnaround from 2020 when Republicans once ceded the early voting advantage to Democrats as members of the GOP traditionally voted on Election Day and former President Donald Trump criticized absentee ballot or mail-in voting as vehicles for fraud.
Although not all states collect partisan early voting information and an increasing number of voters identify as independent or unaffiliated, the data underscores potential problems for Vice President Kamala Harris, with little time to course correct.

Court decisions in Michigan and North Carolina deny GOP challenges to overseas voters – ABC News Source Link Excerpt:
Courts in Michigan and North Carolina on Monday rejected attempts by Republicans to disqualify the ballots of certain overseas voters.
Both cases targeted people who have never lived in the state but were born overseas to parents who were residents of the state. The Michigan case also targeted the spouses of military and overseas voters.
A state judge in Michigan dismissed the Republicans’ case because it was filed so late — less than a month before the Nov. 5 presidential election. But the judge also found that the election language allowing those voters to cast ballots complied with both state and federal law, as well as the Michigan Constitution.
The state GOPs and the Republican National Committee were among the plaintiffs bringing both cases, which were filed as part of a broader legal strategy against overseas ballots in presidential battleground states ahead of the Nov. 5 election.
The RNC did not immediately return requests for comment.

ELECTION LAW – LAWFARE
BIDEN-HARRIS WHITE HOUSE COLLUDED WITH LOCAL, STATE DAS TO LAWFARE TRUMP – Testimony from a former special prosecutor, Nathan Wade, suggests the Biden-Harris White House has been not only colluding with local and state Soros-funded DAs to lawfare assault former President Donald Trump, they even groomed their future lawfare assassins and walked them through the whole process.
Wade pleaded a bad memory when confronted by the House Judiciary Committee but acknowledged the multiple times he wrote invoices for Fulton County to pay for meetings with the White House Counsel. When confronted with another example, he would say, “I don’t remember it happening. I know that it did because the entry says that it did.”
Biden Calls To ‘Lock’ Up Trump. Immediately Attempts Backtracking From Statement.– americanactionnews.com Source Link Excerpt:
President Joe Biden said Tuesday at New Hampshire’s Democratic National Committee (DNC) office that the party needs to “lock up” former President Donald Trump, quickly adding he meant to “politically” lock him up.
Since 2019, Democrats have been calling for Trump to be behind bars, flipping the script on their previous criticism of Republicans and the former president for calling for former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to be locked up. While speaking to the DNC office in Concord, New Hampshire, Biden noted how close the race is becoming, claiming Trump believes he has immunity from “physically eliminating” threats.
“All of it’s on a knife’s edge. It’s on a knife’s edge right now. So this is really, really, really, really important right now. Folks, look, think about it. He is talking about doing away with the entire Department of Education — he means it, this is not a joke. This [is] a guy who also wants to replace every civil servant, every single one,” Biden said.

In a lengthy ruling Wednesday in which she rebuffed most of Trump attorney’s requests for discovery in his 2020 election subversion case, Chutkan, 62, swatted down concerns about potentially inconsistent statements from law enforcement as to whether the former president was responsible.
“It is entirely conceivable, for instance, that Defendant could share responsibility for the events of January 6 without such express authorization of rioters’ criminal actions,” she wrote in a 50-page ruling.

Rudy Giuliani Has Been Ordered to Hand Over Manhattan Apartment, Luxury Watches, Valuables- to Georgia Election Workers– wltreport.com Source Link Excerpt:
Rudy Giuliani has been ordered to turn over a large amount of valuables, his Penthouse apartment in Manhattan, and a load of sentimental belongings — and potentially more properties that have yet to be determined — by a federal judge.
The property and valuables will be given to Georgia election workers who won a defamation suit against Giuliani for statements he made questioning the integrity of the vote count — specifically the allegation made by Giuliani that Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss allegedly committed election fraud when counting ballots in Fulton County, Georgia during the 2020 election.
The following is a CNN report with Michael Gottlieb, the attorney for the Georgia election workers, on the judgment and the assets included in the decision by the judge requiring Giuliani to hand over these specific items to be auctioned off and sold to satisfy the judgment awarded to them.
“We’re gonna fight for every dollar for our clients to satisfy this judgment.”

Liz Cheney Tells Anti-Abortion Conservatives to Support Kamala Harris – newsweek Source Link Excerpt:
Republican Liz Cheney has called on anti-abortion voters to support Vice President Kamala Harris, despite her liberal stance on abortion rights.
The former Wyoming representative, who has been campaigning alongside the Democratic presidential nominee this election, said the issue needed “compassion” and that former President Donald Trump would not be able to handle it.
Speaking in Wisconsin with Harris on Monday, Cheney said: “I’m pro-life, and I have been very troubled, deeply troubled by what I have watched happen in so many states since Dobbs.
“I have been troubled by the extent to which you have women who—as the vice president said—in some cases have died, who can’t get medical treatment that they need because providers are worried about criminal liability.”
Cheney continued: “Even if you are pro-life, as I am, I do not believe, for example, that the state of Texas ought to have the right, as they’re currently suing to do, to get access to women’s medical records.
Left-Wing Dark Money And Unions Team Up To Enshrine Abortion In Florida’s Constitution– dailycaller.com Source Link Excerpt:
As election day approaches and polls narrow, out-of-state groups are pouring tens of millions into Florida to enshrine abortion as a right in the state’s constitution.
Massive Democratic-aligned dark money networks, the Soros family, D.C.-based liberal advocacy groups and public-sector unions have rallied behind Floridians Protecting Freedom (FPF), spending millions to support the group’s effort to repeal Florida’s prohibition on abortion after fetal heartbeats are typically detected, campaign finance records show. FPF is the primary group supporting an initiative on November’s ballot to amend the state’s constitution by creating a constitutional right to terminate one’s pregnancy.
To be added to the state’s constitution, the amendment would need to attract 60% support on election day. A poll in June found that 69% of voters supported that amendment, though an October poll recently found that just 60% of voters reported supporting the abortion initiative, according to the Tallahassee Democrat.
“Now, just barely reaching the 60% it needs to pass, it looks like the fate of abortion in Florida will come down to turnout on Election Day,” University of North Florida political science professor Michael Binder told the Tallahassee Democrat.

DID KAMALA HARRIS JUST HAVE A SENNACHERIB MOMENT? – Kamala Harris was interrupted at her Wisconsin rally recently by someone who shouted in response to her comments on abortion “Jesus is Lord” and “Christ is King.” Kamala appeared to take offense at the mentioning of the name of Christ, firing back “Oh, I think you’re at the wrong rally.”
She added to her blasphemy by lying when she claimed, “I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.” Some Christians cite 2 Kings Chapter 19, where the Assyrian King Sennacherib had laid siege to Jerusalem, taunting God as he went, for which he would see his army smitten by the angel of the Lord (Christ to some). The two students, Grant Beth and Luke Polaske, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Juniors, said of their overall experience in the House of Harris:
Beth – “I was pushed by an elderly woman. We were heckled at, we were cursed at, we were mocked, and that’s the biggest thing for me personally. In reflection of the event, Jesus was mocked. You know, his disciples were mocked, and that’s OK.”
Polaske – “In reality, we did God’s work, and we were there for the right reasons, and God is watching us in this moment. I’m all about being a cordial person no matter your beliefs, but I do believe that we were sent there by God.”
TikTok, Facebook Approve Ads With US Election Disinformation, Study Says – Barron’s Source Link Excerpt:
TikTok and Facebook approved advertisements containing blatant US election falsehoods just weeks ahead of the vote, a watchdog investigation revealed Thursday, calling into question the tech platforms’ policies to detect harmful disinformation.
The advocacy group Global Witness submitted eight ads containing false election claims to the Chinese-owned video-sharing app TikTok, the Meta-owned Facebook, and Google-owned YouTube to test their ad systems in the final stretch of the November 5 election.
The ads carried outright election falsehoods — such as people can vote online — as well as content promoting voter suppression, inciting violence against a candidate, and threatening electoral workers and processes.
TikTok “performed the worst,” Global Witness said, approving four of them despite its policy that prohibits all political ads.
Facebook approved one of the ads submitted.
“Days away from a tightly fought US presidential race, it is shocking that social media companies are still approving thoroughly debunked and blatant disinformation on their platforms,” said Ava Lee, the digital threats campaign leader at Global Witness.
Elon Musk quietly donates ‘very substantial’ amount to PAC to canvass Hispanic voters – Fox News Source Link Excerpt:
Tech billionaire Elon Musk has quietly donated a “very substantial” amount of his own money directly to a PAC that is canvassing Hispanic voters ahead of the 2024 presidential election, Fox News has learned.
Musk donated to a PAC called The Hispanic Leadership Alliance, which is canvassing voters in Arizona, California and Oregon to help Republicans up and down ballot.
Fox News has also learned that the latest FEC filings for The Hispanic Leadership Alliance will be released to the public on Thursday and will reveal the extent of Musk’s financial support. Musk’s donation to the PAC came from Musk directly and not through one of his PACs or organizations. The PAC has used the money in recent weeks to get out the Hispanic vote for Republicans.
Far-Left Los Angeles Times Abandons Kamala Harris: California’s Biggest Newspaper Refuses to Endorse Their Home State Candidate, Despite Backing Obama, Clinton, and Biden | The Gateway Pundit– www.thegatewaypundit.com Source Link Excerpt:
Far-left Los Angeles Times, California’s largest newspaper, has turned its back on Kamala Harris, refusing to endorse her in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
This stunning break from tradition marks a sharp shift for the paper, which has consistently endorsed Democrat candidates, including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden.
This refusal to back their home-state candidate speaks volumes about Harris’s diminishing support, even within liberal strongholds.
The LA Times published its endorsements for congressional and local elections but conspicuously omitted any recommendation for the presidency.
While the editorial board declared this election as “the most consequential in a generation,” their silence on Harris and the presidency was deafening.
Behind this decision, sources suggest, according to Semafor, is the influence of the paper’s owner, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong.
