Judge Rejects Democrat Bid To Block Trump Voting Security Measures

By John Solomon | Just the News Judge ruled Democrats failed to show they have standing at present to challenge the order or have suffered any harm. A federal judge on Thursday cleared the way for President Donald Trump to implement his executive order tightening mail-in voting, slapping down Democrats’ arguments for now that federal efforts to police voter rolls with citizenship checks were illegal. U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointed jurist, ruled that Democrats failed to show they have standing at present to challenge the order or have suffered any harm that would warrant a preliminary injunction. "Given that the Executive Order does not command Plaintiffs to do anything, and that no agency has yet acted pursuant to the Order in a way that c...

Colorado Officials Say Trump Election Order Oversteps Constitutional Limits

By Marissa Ventrelli | Colorado Politics Colorado leaders criticized President Donald Trump’s new executive order issued Tuesday, arguing that its creation of a national voter‑eligibility list and new limits on mail voting violate states’ constitutional authority to run their own elections. President Donald Trump has frequently criticized mail-in voting, calling it “mail-in cheating.” Through the SAVE Act in Congress, the president has sought to require voters to show an ID before casting a ballot. The measure, approved by the U.S. House, has stalled in the U.S. Senate. “The cheating on mail-in voting is legendary. It’s horrible what’s going on,” Trump said a news conference, repeating allegations about the security of mail ballots as he signed the order. “I thi...

Supreme Court Weighs Election Day Deadline For Mail In Ballots

By Andrew Rice | Just the News (The Center Square) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday will hear arguments in a consequential case to determine at what point states can accept and count mail-in ballots. The case, Watson v. RNC, challenges a Mississippi law that allows mail-in ballots to be received up to five days after Election Day, as long as the ballot is postmarked by Election Day. Fourteen states and the District of Columbia also allow mail-in ballots to be received after Election Day. Jason Snead, executive director of the Honest Elections Project, said the case would give an opportunity for mail-in ballot laws to be uniform across the country. “Federal law clearly states that ballots must be received by Election Day,” Snead told The Center Square. “Despite...

The SAVE Act’s strangest gift: it is making Democrats talk like noncitizen voting is real

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice For years, the Right has argued something simple: elections should be provably secure, not merely “trusted” by tradition, good intentions, or bureaucratic assurances. If only citizens may vote in federal elections, then citizen-only voting should be easy to verify, hard to fake, and consistently enforced. Enter the SAVE Act and its successor branding, the “SAVE America Act.” Its core idea is straightforward: require documentary proof of citizenship at registration, and in the newer version, pair that with a photo ID standard for voting. The Left’s reaction has been immediate and near-uniform: not “sure, citizenship verification is fine,” but “this is Jim Crow,” “voter suppression,” “a solution in search of a problem,” an...

Democrats Move to Block Proof-of-Citizenship Voting Laws

By M.D. Kittle | The Federalist Leftist Groups Flood the EAC with comments in an effort to kill a call for documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in U.S. elections. Democrats in Congress have fought against every bill that would ensure only U.S. citizens vote in U.S. elections. They voted against the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act in the House, and they’ve chloroformed it in the Senate. They’ve sued to stop President Donald Trump’s executive order requiring documentary proof of citizenship when registering to vote. Why would Democrats and left-wing activists fight so hard and spend so much money trying to kill a basic election safeguard that the vast majority of Americans support?  They want noncit...

Supreme Court Returns to Culture Wars on LGBT, Guns and Race

By Jan Wolfe | Reuters WASHINGTON, Oct 5 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court is set to wade back into the nation's culture wars during its new nine-month term that begins on Monday with a series of contentious cases on issues including transgender athletes, gay conversion therapy, guns and race. The first of these goes before the court on the second day of its term. Arguments are slated for Tuesday over the legality of a Democratic-backed Colorado law banning "conversion therapy" aimed at changing a person's sexual orientation or gender identity. Republican President Donald Trump's administration is supporting the Christian professional counselor who challenged the law. "Like last year, this term the Supreme Court again will face is...

Griswold rallies Indivisible activists with anti-Trump speech while overseeing Colorado elections

By Jen Schumann and Shaina Cole | Rocky Mountain Voice When Larimer County resident Phoebe McWilliams tuned into an Indivisible Colorado Zoom call on August 6, she expected to hear an update on election policy. Instead, she heard Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold accuse President Donald Trump of “abusing our legal system and undermining the Constitution almost every single day” and rally activists to “stop Trump in the courts, mobilize and beat MAGA.” “She should be neutral,” McWilliams said after listening to the call. “Because all people hear is her so-called professional opinion. She’s not neutral, and that should be a neutral position.” Griswold’s partisan rally cry Speaking to more than 400 attendees, Griswold accused Trump of pardoning January 6 defendants, disman...

President Trump’s DOJ launches nationwide voter roll investigation ahead of midterm elections

By Jim Hoft | The Gateway Pundit President Trump’s Department of Justice has officially launched a sweeping nationwide investigation into bloated and corrupted voter rolls across the United States. According to Fox News’ Aishah Hasnie, the effort comes directly from a March executive order signed by President Trump, tasking Attorney General Pam Bondi and the DOJ with coordinating with state attorneys general to investigate and prosecute illegal voter registrations — including felons, dead voters, and foreign nationals. On March 25, 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 14248, titled “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections.” The order directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to coordinate with state attorneys general and election officials to i...
