Big Push for Unconstitutional Open Primaries
Primaries
Pressure is building for open primaries in several states. Open primaries are generally opposed by Republicans as unconstitutional violating the First Amendment right of free association. The excuse is generally offered that closed (i.e., party) primaries ‘disenfranchise’ independents. Not at all. Court cases upholding closed primaries point out independents can simply join a party if they want to vote in a primary. Open primaries invite nonpartisans and Independent voters as a voting block to distort party interests and guarantee Republicans never nominate conservative candidates. See:
Current Events
Supreme Court refuses to hear the Michigan legislators' case on voter passed state constitutional amendments; once again, the judiciary shows irrational disinterest in the constitutionally-based independent state legislature theory
Arizona Democrats have egg on their faces after court finds prosecutor error in a suit brought by alternate Trump electors (2020 election)
Michigan activists Rachelle Smit and Pastor Lorenzo testify about Detroit election fraud (2024) before the Michigan House Election Integrity Committee
Certification
Bill passes Arizona Senate protecting county supervisors from prosecution for refusing to certify election results
Election Administration
County Auditors Advisory Group for election best practices brought together by Iowa Secretary of State
Nevada bill would shift election functions away from county clerks and other local officials; seen as power grab by Secretary of State
Election Challenges
Republican Mike Bost (IL) brings election law case to Supreme Court challenging state’s 14-day mail ballot receipt deadline. But wait! There's more...see the next news item:
Supreme Court to decide whether federal election candidates have standing to bring election law challenges. Bost (IL) case could have major ramifications for future election litigation.
Texas appeals court acknowledges election irregularities but declines to overturn results of the election
Machines
Wisconsin Election Commission allows paper ballots and hand-counting in smaller communities
Numerous states may face consequences from Trump's election executive order. QR codes or barcodes containing voter records are used widely but aren't acceptable according to the EO.
Decertified e-pollbooks were used in the 2024 election in 61 Texas counties
Rigged algorithms yield rigged election results. Mathematician, proving fraudulent cast voting records in Colorado, uncovers switched electronic data files months after election
Cast ballots recorded as blank account for 56 percent of the votes in one Baltimore precinct
Blank ballot scheme pattern repeats itself over four election cycles in Broward County Florida right down to exact percentages
Secret Ballot
Are QR and/or barcodes secret messengers carrying the voter's data through an election system and perhaps beyond? Interesting white paper conclusions.
