Unrest on the horizon: Coordinated anti-establishment protests planned across U.S. cities

By Heidi Ganahl | Rocky Mountain Voice Editor's note: Please be advised some unavoidable graphic language appears in this piece. Cities across the United States are preparing for a wave of protests and potential unrest, as various anti-establishment groups signal their intent to take to the streets regardless of the election outcome. From Seattle to Portland, Philadelphia and Tampa, a coalition of groups —- ranging from Antifa to pro-Palestine activists, socialist organizations, and anarchist factions —- are mobilizing to express discontent with the country’s political landscape, decrying both major candidates and the systems they represent. Flyers circulating in several cities, including the ones shared through channels associated with Antifa and other protest networks, convey...

District court denies Libertarian Party’s plea for a hand-count of ballots in Colorado following password leak

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice Denver District Court Judge Kandace Gerdes has denied an appeal to seek a hand-count of election returns and other relief sought by the Libertarian Party in a suit against Secretary of State Jena Griswold and the State of Colorado. Counsel for the Libertarian Party had argued the public disclosure of passwords on the secretary of state's website for a period lasting four months before removal was unprecedented, and so an unprecedented resolution was needed. The case was filed Friday, Nov. 1, and heard in Gerdes' courtroom Monday afternoon. https://rockymountainvoice.com/2024/11/unprecedented-mistake-by-secretary-griswold-calls-for-unprecedented-ruling-libertarian-party-argues-in-district-court "In dismissing the petition, the district...

Gun sales expected to surge in a likely anti-gun Harris Adminstration

By Paul Bedard | Washington Examiner Sales of guns took a temporary pause last month as the public headed into an Election Day that could determine the future of the Second Amendment. The FBI said background checks fell, and the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the firearms industry group that parses those reports for sales numbers, said they were down about 5%. Still, NSSF said the market remains strong and recorded the 63rd consecutive month of sales over 1 million. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

Stock market would crash under Harris’ tax plan, billionaire hedge fund manager warns

By Kristen Altus  | Fox Business A potential Trump nominee for U.S. Treasury secretary, who also happens to be a billionaire hedge fund manager, has explained how Vice President Kamala Harris’ tax plan could send markets into a quick plunge. "In the early parts of her campaign, she was supportive of the tax on unrealized gain[s]. And if that was implemented, I think it would be devastating for the markets and cause a market crash," Paulson & Co. President and founder John Paulson said on "Cavuto: Coast to Coast," Monday. "Harris says she wants to raise taxes on capital gains from 20% to 28%. The corporate tax rate, she wants to go from 21% to 28%, Paulson added. "But the one big one, she wants to tax unrealized gains." READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX BUSINESS

Notorious Wisconsin election official Is ordered to follow the law

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.

Access to voting equipment is strictly limited to authorized personnel who pass background checks, and every entry and exit from secure areas is logged.

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.
