Breaking: Ariz. AG Takes Action - Ballots Reported in Black Duffle Bags - Officials Broke Election Laws - State Demands Names
Among the most troubling issues raised in the letter directed to Thomas Liddy with the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office was the apparent co-mingling of ballots in black duffle bags in at least one polling location, which were successfully run through the on-site tabulators with those put in “Door 3” to be sent to the Election Department’s downtown Phoenix tabulation center because they could not be read.
“The Elections Integrity Unit (“Unit”) of the Arizona Attorney General’s Office (“AGO”) has received hundreds of complaints since Election Day pertaining to issues related to the administration of the 2022 General Election in Maricopa County,” Wright opened her letter.
“These complaints go beyond pure speculation, but include first-hand witness accounts that raise concerns regarding Maricopa’s lawful compliance with Arizona election law,” she continued.
Kevin McCarthy says he will remove Rep. Ilhan Omar from committee over ‘anti-Semitic’ remarks
Omar (D-Minn.) has been outspoken in her criticism of Israel, comparing both the Jewish state and the US to terrorist organizations like Hamas and the Taliban. In 2019, she proposed a resolution supporting the right to boycott Israel, likening the previous boycotts of of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.
Democrats’ Hispanic Problem: The Sequel
The fact remains, however, that while they held the Senate (and may possibly pick up a seat), they lost the House, as well as the nationwide popular vote by 3-4 points. That’s a swing of 7-8 points toward the Republicans compared to Biden’s 4 point national advantage in 2020. The Senate map for the Democrats in 2024 looks absolutely terrifying: Democrats will have to hold seats in a wide range of red and purple states—Arizona, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Wisconsin and West Virginia. The Republican seats that will be up are all in solid GOP states, with the possible exceptions of Texas and Florida (and we saw what just happened there). Plus there’s no guarantee that the 2024 Democratic nominee—likely Biden—will get to run again against the Democrats’ preferred opponent, Trump. It could be someone much tougher to take down.
In light of this, it’s worth considering the possibility that Democrats did not, in fact, fix all their problems in 2022 and that some of these may be lurking beneath the surface to undermine their chances—perhaps fatally—in 2024. One such problem is the Democrats’ Hispanic voter problem. In 2020, Democrats’ advantage among Hispanic voters declined nationwide by 16 points relative to 2016. Democrats had hoped to stop the bleeding in 2022. Did they?
It does not appear so. Prior to the election, the AEI demographics tracker, which averages poll subgroup results, found the Democratic Congressional margin among Hispanic voters consistently 7-9 points below its 2020 level and 17-19 points below its 2018 level. Results from AP/NORC VoteCast indicate that the drop in the 2022 election was actually larger than that foreshadowed by the pre-election data. These data show Democrats carrying Hispanics nationwide by just 56-39 in 2022, a 12 point decline in margin relative to 2020 (18 points relative to 2018). For what it’s worth, the less-reliable network exit polls, show an identical decline in Hispanic support between 2020 and 2022.
Why Re-Electing McConnell As Senate Leader Was The Best Gift The GOP Establishment Could Give Trump
When McConnell and his allies complain about “candidate quality,” however, they’re not really complaining about the capability of candidates to do the job for which they’ve been nominated. They are complaining about Republican voters — and the people those voters choose to represent them among elites in Washington.
McConnell’s disdain for voter-selected nominees mirrors his aversion to Trump. And the distinction between these two Republican leaders couldn’t be clearer. Voters initially gravitated toward Trump, electing a television celebrity and Manhattan real estate developer with no experience in elected office to hold the highest office in the land because Trump catered to those voters and railed against the Beltway class. McConnell does just the opposite.
McConnell’s re-election to Senate leader is a massive campaign gift to Trump, even though Trump’s chosen candidate, Scott, fell short. McConnell is the sort of D.C. swamp creature that Trump wins over voters by constantly colliding with. An 80-year-old lawmaker, McConnell will be the longest-ever serving Senate leader by the end of his latest term. McConnell is the Beltway establishment, with a grip on power that not even a failing midterm performance can undermine.
Jay Jacobs’ businesses collected $6M in PPP loans — yet donated $54K to Cuomo, Hochul
The embattled boss of the state Democratic Committee quietly collected $6.1 million in federal pandemic relief loans for various ventures he runs — yet these businesses donated $54,000 over the same period to the campaigns of Govs. Hochul and Cuomo, records show.
Jay Jacobs — who is facing calls to resign from predominantly progressive members of his own party over state Democrats’ poor showing in last week’s elections — owns or is a top executive for at least 11 businesses, including several summer camps in New York and Pennsylvania, that secured $2,919,844 combined in Paycheck Protection Program loans for 2020 and another $3,194,596 last year, records show. The money was used to pay the salaries of hundreds of full-time staffers.
Despite seeking taxpayer help to operate during the pandemic, Jacobs’ businesses – which include Timber Lake Camp in upstate Shandaken, NY and Tyler Hill Camp in Pennsylvania — found enough disposable cash to donate $40,000 and $14,000, respectively, to campaigns of longtime allies Hochul and Cuomo in 2020 and 2021, state records show.
Abe Hamadeh currently trails radical left Democrat Kris Mayes by just 510 votes, and there is expected to be a recount.
However, the Arizona election was an uncertifiable mess due to voters having their ballots stolen, not counted, or being prevented from voting altogether.
The Gateway Pundit reported on the serious issues in Maricopa County’s General Election on November 8. Due to the incompetence of Maricopa County and Katie Hobbs, tabulators were down, printers ran out of ink, and long, long lines kept Republican voters waiting to cast their ballots. Republican voters were told to drop their ballots into a separate container called box 3 to be counted later. Election experts and election workers later reported that these uncounted ballots were mixed with already counted ballots, leaving no way of knowing if all legal votes were counted!\

House Democratic Leadership's Reaction to Members Being Kicked Off Committees Shows Dems in Disarray
As Haris Alic covered for Fox News earlier on Tuesday, several House Democratic leaders failed to respond for comment:
Regardless of the outlet requesting such a comment, it's certainly worth wondering why Democratic House members, especially those in leadership, would not to jump on the chance to stick up for their own,
Alic's report does include a statement from Rep.-elect Greg Casar (D-TX), of Texas' particularly Democratic 35th Congressional District. "He’s trying to silence a powerful voice, singling out the only Muslim on the committee, and stoking extremism and division," Casar offered.
It is certainly working in America. Della Volpe writes: "According to the fall 2022 Harvard Youth Poll, a national survey I oversee for the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics, 59 percent of young Americans believe their rights are under attack and 73 percent are troubled that the rights of others are threatened."
Whatever the Left says is essentially the only thing the majority of young Americans ever hear. For almost six years, the Left has called former President Donald Trump a fascist. The current president of the United States went even further, declaring that most Trump supporters are also fascists.
Yet, Trump was president of the United States for four years, and civil rights were not abridged nor was democracy threatened. As regards the illegal entry of conservative protesters into the Capitol in January 2021, Trump repeatedly called for a peaceful protest and respect for law enforcement (as evidenced, in part, by his now-restored Twitter account). And, let it not be forgotten, that unlike the violent left-wing protests in 2020, which almost no Democrats condemned, the Jan. 6 Capitol breach was virtually universally condemned by Republicans -- and the then-Republican vice president, Mike Pence, rejected the protesters' demands to invalidate the 2020 election result. Moreover, the Left called Trump a fascist for four years prior to Jan. 6.
As regards Trump's belief that the election was stolen, Democrats, including the losing presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, claimed Trump did not win the 2016 election. And it has been a common left-wing tactic for decades to illegally occupy state offices, not to mention college presidents' offices. In 2011, thousands of left-wing protesters took over the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison for four months. More recently, in 2018, protesters took over a Senate office building on Capitol Hill demanding rejection of Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court.

Young Americans Voted to Ruin Their Lives
In short, it seems that young Americans voted for the people who are ruining their lives.
It is the Left that is primarily responsible for the unprecedented levels of depression and despair among young people.
The Left deprived children of school for nearly two years -- for no valid reason.
The Left ensured that young children not see anyone's face outside their home for nearly two years -- again, for no valid reason.
The Left frightens young people about their future -- through its hysteria over global warming -- in a way that no group ever before frightened young Americans.
The Left has destroyed the healthiest beliefs in a citizen's life -- especially in the life of a young citizen: Belief in God and belief in one's country. God, religion, patriotism and the national flag have all become objects of mockery.
The Left lies to them about everything -- from nonbinary genders to the founding of America to the extent of white racism in the country to opponents of the Left being fascists.

Regarding the hispanic vote, every single election we see so many stories about how hispanic voters are moving red. And yet this year was the first time New Mexico has been entirely blue. Arizona is more blue than ever, as is Texas. California (a lost cause of course) still blue in all hispanic majority congressional districts (16 this election).
The only place where you could maybe make the argument that the hispanic vote is turning red is where it has always been red, in Florida. Because Cubans don't like socialism.

Arizona Governor-elect Hobbs ultimatum to county board: Certify her election or face felony rap
Two of the supervisors on the Mojave County board said they were voting to certify the election "under duress," after being warned that they would "be arrested and charged with a felony" if they didn't, according to the board chairman, Ron Gould.
While Mohave County's own election was problem-free, the Board of Supervisors was concerned about the election issues in Maricopa County, said Gould.
"We believe that Mohave County voters were disenfranchised by the problems that they had in Maricopa County," Gould said in an interview Wednesday on Real America's Voice TV's "The War Room."
"Their mistakes are bigger than our entire county vote, and I think it's disenfranchised the rural voters across the state, not to mention that it disenfranchises Maricopa County voters and Republican voters, in particular, who are more likely to cast their ballot at the poll" on Election Day, he said. "So any problems at the poll affect Republicans more than they would affect Democrats."
Wisconsin lawmaker questions why military ballot voting dropped over 80% in 2022
Rep. Janel Brandtjen, R-Menomonee Falls, on Tuesday said this year’s military voting numbers show something happened between the two elections.
“We have learned that the number of active military members voting in the 2022 election dropped by over 83% since the 2020 election!” Brandtjen said in a statement.
Brandtjen is at the center of the story about military ballots in Wisconsin.
She received three fake military ballots ahead of Election Day. Those ballots, it turned out, came from a Milwaukee election manager.
“When Milwaukee deputy election clerk Kim Zapata created three military members out of thin air and sent requests for legitimate ballots to my home address, the vulnerability of the military ballot process was exposed,” Brandtken added.
Meet Raphael Warnock’s Paymasters
OpenSecrets also maintains a catalogue of out-of-state corporate entities that have contributed to Sen. Warnock’s campaign. Because corporations are prohibited by federal law from contributing directly to political candidates, this money is funneled through various committees and leadership PACs to which company employees purportedly donate money. OpenSecrets provides a list of the Top 100 corporations from which Warnock has received such contributions. The following sample contains names that most will recognize:
The senator’s campaign advertising frequently assures his constituents, “Warnock is working for Georgia.” This assertion is particularly difficult to take seriously, however, considering that a significant number of federal agencies also appear on the Open Secrets catalogue of Warnock’s Top 100 contributors. They include the U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services, the U.S. Dept. of State, the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs, the U.S. Dept. of Defense, the U.S. Dept. of Energy, the U.S. Postal Service, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
After reading the above, it won’t come as a surprise that Warnock was the top Senate recipient of largesse from civil servants, from whom he received $1.2 million. He also received more money than any other senator from the education lobby, which contributed $3.7 million to his campaign. In addition, he was showered with lucre from lawyers and law firms, who collectively donated $3.4 million to his war chest. He was also the top Senate beneficiary of donations from activists involved in women’s issues, who gave him $1.5 million.

Black Voter Turnout Shrinks to Lowest Level Since 2006
In the states of Georgia, North Carolina, and Louisiana, where the data is authoritative, black voter turnout appears to be at its lowest level since 2006, and 25 percent lower than white turnout:
Was this Election Stolen?
As I said in last week’s article, there are likely a hundred different reasons that the radical left just won elections across New York, and across the nation. I understand your frustration of feeling like our elections are now rigged. I don’t know for certain if they are or if they are not. However, I’m going to explain to you a couple of reasons why you very well may be right. Well, one reason really… dangerous voting laws. There are quite a few, but in this article I will only address one. That is, mail voting.
What is mail voting, and why can it be dangerous to fair elections?
A couple of years ago, even before the 2020 election, I made a video to explain the different types of mail voting, and their pros/cons. The long and the short of it is, the more liberal mail voting laws are, the easier it is to manipulate the votes. There are two types of mail voting - absentee voting and universal mail voting, and despite what some say, they are not the same. In fact, they are extremely different. One form (absentee ballot voting) is accepted and used nation-wide, while the other (universal mail voting) is highly controversial and is only permitted in a few states. Let’s take a quick look at each. Absentee ballot voting is a nationwide accepted practice where a registered voter formally requests a ballot, it’s sent to them, they vote, and then they mail it back before election day. Many (but not all) states have a requirement that the voter must have a legitimate reason for not going to vote in person, for example they are serving in the military and stationed elsewhere, or they are ill or otherwise incapacitated, or they will be traveling during election day, and so on. This form of voting has been around since the civil war days when soldiers were permitted to vote by mail while away fighting the war. Because absentee ballot voting requires a registered voter to file an application to obtain the ballot, it shows specific voter intent to vote, and it creates a documented paper trail that can at least be verified to some extent.
