Last week’s passage of HB 747 brought an unsatisfying end to the 10-year battle Voter Integrity Project had waged, joined by NC Representative George Cleveland, to enact a law forcing North Carolina’s Clerks of Court to share jury disqualification information with election officials. Far from “spiking the football,” I wanted to take a moment to …

Cooper Veto Exposes Feckless Legislature
Dec 3, 2021 To the shock and dismay of nobody, North Carolina’s Democrat Governor, Roy Cooper, yesterday, vetoed Senate Bill 326, called the Election Day Integrity Act, that would have prevented organized ballot harvesting efforts after the results are known.

All eyes on Jersey
Nov 6, 2021 Establishment media and politicians have already tuned up their chorus to dismiss concerns about New Jersey’s suspicious election as a bunch of “conspiracy theorists,” so let’s start right there. We can forget about the 1960s-era CIA training against “conspiracy theories” when the convictions follow the theories as it did in Chicago, 1982. …
The Sordid Lewis Legacy
A Political Eulogy? Aug 20, 2021 (Sanford) We were so distracted by our nation’s military failure in Afghanistan that the quiet plea agreement deal earlier this week by disgraced State Representative David Lewis nearly slipped past us. One day we may fully recount the lies (former) Rep. David Lewis threw our way during our seven-year …

House Approves Three (no longer four) Ways to Steal Elections
[Correction: While Multipartisan Assistance Teams are still a major vulnerability, a Senate committee debate on June 2, 2020, has convinced us that the Legislature has mitigated this problem adequately. MATs will continue to be a major vulnerability, but it is up to the county-level party chairs to aggressively recruit and train MAT members.] June 1, …

Fix the Floyd Amendment
July 11, 2019 (Raleigh) – Despite the stellar efforts the NC House and Senate have made in preventing (criminal?) enterprise-level absentee ballot voter fraud, they still need to fix one provision snuck into 2018’s voter ID law that will make California-style absentee ballot chaos the new normal in North Carolina. The perpetrator, Rep. Elmer Floyd, snuck in …
Disgusted? Try a stronger D-word: Defunded!
Note to the NC Legislature . . . Hey Gang. Loved your letter to the SBOE, but y’all need to flex your oversight power and force SBOE to answer the Federal subpoena.

SBOE Bogus Fraud Reporting (Pt. 1)
Dancing Around the Truth January 24, 2019 (Raleigh) There is much we have said about voter fraud, but we just serve, more or less, as the watchmen on the wall and, like that guy, if we alert the public and are ignored. . . then the blood is on the hands of the politicians. If we do not alert the public, …

Dec 11, 2018, RALEIGH — Amid the more ironic findings of the current Bladen County investigation into absentee ballot harvesting comes the open admission by former State BOE Executive Director, Gary Bartlett, exposing the dirty little secret about prosecutions: Voter fraud isn’t a crime unless it gets prosecuted and District Attorneys are loath to go there. …
Are Democrats Plotting to Steal an NC Congressional Seat?
If you’re like most people, you probably thought the elections were over.

All of the …

Former NC Supreme Court Justice Drinks the Kool Aid
June 14, 2018 (Raleigh) — Too many politicians act is if vote theft is less important than gutlessly preening for the dominant media; and sadly, former NC Supreme Court Justice, Bob Orr, joined that McCainiac Universe with an op-ed published in the Charlotte Observer.
