An open letter to voters from Mesa County Clerk Bobbie Gross

By Bobbie Gross | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice As your Mesa County clerk​ & recorder, I am deeply committed to the transparency, security, and integrity of our elections. I want to address a recent oversight by the secretary of state’s office, which inadvertently published BIOS passwords — one of the many layers that protect our voting equipment. I assure you that your vote remains secure and will be counted accurately. Our election system, here in Mesa County, is protected by multiple layers of security. Access to voting equipment is strictly limited to authorized personnel who pass background checks, and every entry and exit from secure areas is logged. These areas are monitored by 24/7 surveillance cameras, and we are immediately alerted to any unusual activity. O...

Democrats paid $430,000 to firm linked to Pennsylvania voter fraud investigations

By Gabe Kaminsky | Washington Examiner Democratic political campaigns have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to a consulting firm facing investigations in Pennsylvania counties for allegedly submitting fraudulent voter registration forms, federal records show. The district attorney of Monroe County, Pennsylvania, Mike Mancuso, said in a statement last week that a subsidiary of a firm in Arizona called FieldCorps was responsible for submitting 30 forms with fraudulent details, including on behalf of a dead resident. And in York, another county in the Keystone State, officials are looking into suspicious forms they say were submitted by FieldCorps on behalf of the Everybody Votes Campaign, a group tied to the Washington, D.C.-based Arabella Advisors dark money n...

Donald Trump closes final campaign rally at 2:09 a.m. Election Day

By Joel B. Pollak | Breitbart Former President Donald Trump concluded the final campaign rally of the 2024 election at 2:09 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on Election Day in Grand Rapids, Michigan, defying opponents who claimed he was losing his energy. As he did in 2016, Trump concluded his presidential campaign in Grand Rapids, beginning his remarks before a packed crowd shortly after midnight and speaking for the better part of two hours. “Can you imagine a crowd like this at, like, one o’clock or some ridiculous time in the morning, on a Monday-slash-Tuesday?” he asked the cheering crowd. “What a compliment,” he said, gratefully, before comparing his rally to his opponent’s allegedly smaller one.

Sloan: The BRICS election and the next U.S. President

By Kelly Sloan | Contributing Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Writing a political column is a notoriously difficult endeavor two days before a major election. By the time you read this, editorial vagaries being what they are, the election will be over and any electoral prognostication or attempt at influence will be rendered, well, moot. We may or may not know for certain how it all turned out, but even if there remain votes to count, or recounts to be conducted, the United States will have, via the electoral college, selected either Donald Trump or Kamala Harris as President. Sort of Schrodinger’s Cat as applied to democracy.  What we do know is that whoever the next president is will be inheriting an increasingly dangerous and unstable world beyond America’s borders, and t...

How the Biden-Harris Administration used the media to convince voters it fixed the border crisis

By Ryan Mills | National Review After years of bad news about illegal immigrants swarming the border and flooding American cities, the mainstream media headlines couldn’t have been much better for Vice President Kamala Harris in the runup to Election Day. “Illegal border crossings fell in July to lowest level in four years,” the Washington Post declared in August. “Migrant crossings at the US’ southern border drop again,” CNN reported in September. “Illegal migration at US border drops to lowest level since 2020,” read a USA Today headline in early October.

‘Unprecedented’ mistake by Secretary Griswold calls for unprecedented ruling, Libertarian Party argues in District Court

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice DENVER -- Some daylight may have been breathed Monday afternoon into what some have called the largest coverup in the history of Colorado's mail-in balloting era, and perhaps ever in its secretary of state's office. A day before Election Day, the top ranking officials in the Colorado Libertarian Party were in a Denver courtroom down the street from where Secretary of State Jena Griswold hours earlier made what sounded like a mea culpa over a password maintenance blunder that may affect half the counties in Colorado. At issue is hundreds of passwords which were posted in a public place on the secretary of state's website and discovered by an expert of voting system components, only after they may have been public for four months. "I am regr...

Williams: In effort to Make America Healthy Again, let’s remove government regulations on raw milk 

By Laci Williams | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Do you remember when the stereotype of a “crunchy granola liberal” was an insult so partisan that no conservative dared even to step into a health food store? Well, it doesn’t seem that long ago, but with the rise of the Make America Healthy Again movement — or MAHA, as it has been coined — this insult has not only dropped its partisan label, but the label itself has shifted into something positive, a cause that both the left and the right can support. The more I research the "crunchy" movement, the more Google searches and X stalking sessions I do, the more I see that a key issue for the MAHA crowd is consuming raw milk. What Is raw milk?  So, what is raw milk? It is unpasteurized milk that has not gone through the pr...

Georgia absentee ballot ruling provides legal victory for RNC on eve of election

By Emma Colton | Fox News The Georgia Supreme Court ruled Monday that absentee ballots that were mailed late to voters in Cobb County will only be counted if they arrive back to election officials by Election Day, sparking GOP leadership to take a victory lap.  "HUGE election integrity victory in Georgia. Democrat-run Cobb County wanted to accept 3,000 absentee ballots AFTER the Election Day deadline. We took this case to the Georgia Supreme Court," RNC chair Michael Whatley posted to X on Monday.  "We just got word that we WON the case. Election Day is Election Day – not the week after. We will keep fighting, keep winning, and keep sharing updates," he added.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS
