BCRA unlikely to survive the Parliamentarian? Hold your horses.

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 […]

Christine Brim, Chairman of the Fairfax County, VA Election Integrity Task Force describes in this episode of Who’s Counting? with Cleta Mitchell how her group of local volunteers took action in August 2022 when they first heard of possible ties between their county’s poll worker management software, PollChief and the Chinese Communist Party.  These dedicated Virginia volunteers […]

Good afternoon from Capitol Hill. The Senate returns this week to debate the National Defense Authorization Act, but won’t return to vote until November 14th. The House is still out. Yet the regime presses forward. Apparently in response to the Dobbs ruling overturning Roe v Wade in June, the Department of Justice is now moving […]

In this first anniversary episode of our Who’s Counting? with Cleta Mitchell podcast, Cleta recounts the building of the Election Integrity Infrastructure across America in 2021 and 2022. But MOST importantly, Cleta summons everyone to TAKE ACTION NOW to help save our elections: Sign up to be a Poll Worker or Poll Watcher in YOUR […]

The House and Senate are officially out of town for the next six weeks until they return for a lame duck session in mid- November. And that lame duck will be a busy one. Before they left, both chambers passed a Continuing Resolution to December 16, setting up another government funding deadline. (You can see […]

In this episode of Who’s Counting?, Heritage Foundation Senior Legal Fellow Hans von Spakosvky talks with Cleta about the current state of Heritage’s Election Integrity Scorecard, a comprehensive index of state election laws – and the progress (or failure to advance) by the states since the scorecard was first released in December 2021. Hans and […]

Good afternoon from Capitol Hill. Shona tova to all those observing Rosh Hashanah. The House and Senate are both in session this week and are up against a federal funding deadline on September 30. The forthcoming Continuing Resolution is rumored to fund the government until December 16th. I say “rumored” because, of course, no one […]

In a new report, Verity Vote founder Heather Honey utilizes her open-source investigative skills to uncover an emerging vote fraud concern — overseas ballots and their potential as a strategy for leftwing vote fraud. Analysis of overseas ballots, and leftwing social media chatter unabashedly promoting it as a new frontier for fraud, should be a […]

Heather Honey, the founder of Verity Vote, is an open-source investigator. Utilizing her expert research skills in a new report, Heather exposes the secret connection whereby ERIC, (Electronic Registration Information Center) a taxpayer-funded entity, is a primary obstacle to cleaning America’s voter rolls.  Founded and initially funded by the left ostensibly to “help” with voter roll accuracy, […]

Good afternoon from Capitol Hill. The Compass is a day late this week as I have been out in Miami at the Conference for National Conservatism. Videos from the conference, including speeches from Gov. Ron DeSantis, Peter Thiel, Sen. Rick Scott, Sen. Marco Rubio, and Sen. Josh Hawley, are being posted here. My remarks are […]
