Swing-state election official resigns amid mail-in ballot investigation



A Green Bay election official accused of bungling ballot distribution sent herself packing on Friday.

Celestine Jeffreys resigned August 7 after allegedly issuing 152 duplicate absentee ballots to registered voters in April 2026 amid a subsequent Wisconsin Elections Commission investigation into her conduct. Jeffreys was the Green Bay official who helped facilitate Mark Zuckerberg-backed 2020 election grants routed through the Center for Tech and Civic Life, according to RealClear Investigations.

‘A clerk who does not believe the law prohibits issuing duplicate ballots cannot be trusted to prevent it from happening again.’

According to reporting by Spectrum News 1, Jeffreys was placed on administrative leave by the City of Green Bay on July 9 after the Wisconsin Elections Commission unanimously voted to open an investigation into the absentee ballot incident.

Brown County Republican Party board member Theresa Sipes filed a complaint against Jeffreys in April, alleging the duplication violated state law. The duplicates created “a substantial risk of confusion, double voting and increasing the opportunity for and possibility of fraud,” according to the filing.

The Wisconsin Republican Party backed Sipes’ filing.

The City of Green Bay defended Jeffreys, arguing that the discrepancy was an accident.

“Wisconsin law prohibits election fraud, not the inadvertent issuance of multiple ballots,” Green Bay stated in its response, obtained by Fox 11. “The statute does not impose liability for inadvertent duplication in issuance, rather, it establishes the elector’s right to receive a ballot.”

Sipes' lawyer Nicholas Boerke rejected the city’s defense.

“A clerk who does not believe the law prohibits issuing duplicate ballots cannot be trusted to prevent it from happening again,” Boerke argued in a supplemental letter to the WEC. He went on to say that the “fundamental misunderstanding of ballot issuance law displayed in the response makes future violations inevitable absent commission action.”

The WEC saw enough merit in Boerke's arguments to open an investigation.

“The commission authorizes an investigation into the City of Green Bay clerk to determine if the clerk or any employee or contractor of the City of Green Bay failed to comply with Wisconsin law or otherwise abuse their discretion in the preparation and mailing of absentee ballot mailers," Wisconsin Elections Commission Chair Don Millis told Spectrum News 1.

Her resignation follows a years-long string of controversies, beginning with her tenure as Mayor Eric Genrich’s chief of staff.

“Is he working with you? As far as I’m concerned I am taking all of my cues from CTCL and work with those you recommend,” Jeffreys wrote in an email to the Center for Tech and Civic Life, according to RealClearInvestigations.

After Jeffreys’ email and in conjunction with CTCL, Green Bay hired Democrat operative Michael Spitzer-Rubenstein to oversee its 2020 election operations. Spitzer-Rubenstein eventually drove out then-City Clerk Kris Teske after demanding unprecedented access to voter databases.

The WEC reviewed the incident and found no impropriety. Wisconsin voters banned private election assistance via constitutional amendment in 2024.

Jeffreys previously courted controversy in 2023 when she allowed third parties to return absentee ballots on behalf of others. In 2024, the clerk failed to deactivate voter registrations in violation of state law in instances where Election Day materials were returned as undeliverable.

The Green Bay Mayor’s Office directed Blaze News to its August 7 press release when reached for comment.

“The City of Green Bay and Celestine Jeffreys are jointly announcing that Ms. Jeffreys has made the decision to step down from her role as City Clerk. We wish her the best in her future endeavors,” the press release states. “This will be the City’s only statement on the matter.”

Jeffreys, the Brown County Republican Party, the Wisconsin Elections Commission, and the Center for Tech and Civic Life did not respond to requests for comment. A spokesperson for Mark Zuckerberg declined to comment.

Jim Crow called — it wants its smear back



Opponents of the SAVE America Act have reached for the oldest smear in the election-law playbook: racism.

Sunny Hostin of “The View” recently said she opposed the bill because it would “disproportionately affect African-American voters.” She compared proof-of-citizenship requirements to Jim Crow devices such as literacy tests and jelly bean counting.

Election reform cannot proceed honestly while racial demagoguery substitutes for argument.

The comparison is historically illiterate.

Poll taxes, literacy tests, and arbitrary guessing games were designed to keep black Americans from voting. Requiring voters to prove identity and citizenship applies a neutral rule to everyone.

The SAVE America Act would require applicants for federal voter registration to provide documentary proof of citizenship, such as a passport, a REAL ID indicating citizenship, or qualifying military records. Related provisions would require photo identification at the polls.

Those are not instruments of racial exclusion. They are ordinary safeguards meant to ensure that only eligible citizens participate in federal elections.

Democratic politicians and media figures have spent years describing voter-identification laws as “Jim Crow 2.0.” Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Stacey Abrams, and others have portrayed routine verification as a deliberate attack on minority voters.

The claim insults the people it supposedly defends.

Polls consistently show broad support for voter identification, often above 80% overall, with strong majorities among black and Hispanic voters. Millions of minority Americans already use driver’s licenses, state identification cards, and other government-issued documents because modern life requires them.

Americans need identification to board a commercial flight, open a bank account, cash a check, buy alcohol or tobacco, rent a car, enter many offices and government buildings, collect some prescriptions, and check into a hotel.

Even New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, an opponent of voter-identification requirements, recently announced that his taxpayer-funded grocery stores would require identification for entry.

The country accepts identity verification for countless transactions carrying far lower stakes than choosing its leaders. The idea that voting alone must remain exempt from basic verification makes no sense.

Critics next argue that noncitizen voting is rare and therefore unworthy of concern. Recent examples show why prevention remains vital.

In New Jersey, Governor Mikie Sherrill (D) disclosed last month that a software error at the Motor Vehicle Commission improperly registered roughly 6,600 noncitizens between June 2023 and June 2024. About 400 of them cast ballots. The Trump administration believes the number may be much higher.

In North Carolina, authorities previously charged 19 foreign nationals with voting unlawfully in the 2016 elections. In Philadelphia, an illegal immigrant was arrested after allegedly voting in several federal elections.

None of those cases proves that noncitizen voting determines every election. They do prove, at a minimum, that registration systems make mistakes and that ineligible people sometimes vote. One can only imagine the depth of election fraud a DOGE-style investigation into all 50 states’ practices would uncover.

The most revealing feature of the opposition is its refusal to separate legitimate access concerns from the basic question of eligibility. Lawmakers can provide free identification, mobile enrollment services, and reasonable procedures for citizens who lack standard documents while still requiring proof that applicants are citizens.

That would expand lawful access and protect lawful votes at the same time.

Instead, critics invoke the ugliest chapters of American history to shut down discussion. They treat any identity or citizenship requirement as presumptively racist and imply that minority voters are uniquely incapable of complying with ordinary rules.

Americans of every race deserve elections in which every lawful vote counts and every unlawful vote is excluded. Proof of identity and citizenship is not an attack on democracy. It is the minimum a democracy owes its citizens.

Election reform cannot proceed honestly while racial demagoguery substitutes for argument. The people using Jim Crow as a shield against neutral safeguards should be shunned, not indulged.

'He's been lying to voters': Paxton BEATS DOWN Talarico over alleged election fraud



The pivotal battle over one of two Texas seats in the U.S. Senate may be decided by new accusations of election fraud against the Democratic candidate.

State Rep. James Talarico is being accused of falsely using his mother's address in Austin in 2021 to elude residency requirements and run in the Democrat-leaning district.

'He is a lying politician who has been deceiving voters throughout his time in office, so it should come as no shock that he continues his flip-flop tour across the state of Texas.'

Talarico announced on Oct. 13, 2021, that he would move back to state House District 50, just one month ahead of the Nov. 8, 2021, deadline for him to meet the one-year residency requirement for the 2022 election.

At the time, he blamed Republicans for redrawing state House District 52, which he then represented, into one that was more red-leaning.

"Republicans have gerrymandered me out of my district. If they think they can keep me off the House floor, they better think again," he wrote on social media.

The Federalist report, citing Texas voter registration files, claimed that Talarico registered to vote at his mother's Austin address in December 2021, well after the deadline, and used her address "on election forms," then purchased a home in state House District 50 after the primary in March 2022.

"There's no evidence, sources say, that Talarico lived at his mother's home during the period. Even if he did, the candidate would have to have resided there for at least a year before launching his House campaign," the Federalist reported.

Voter registration for Talarico dated December 2021 listed an Austin address, according to images shared by the Dallas Express. He was previously registered in Round Rock, Texas, according to the images.

Current records with the Texas Secretary of State list a P.O. box in Austin as Talarico's address for the March 2022 Democratic primary.

The unmarried candidate also reportedly shares an individual checking account with his mother. His campaign reported receiving an in-kind donation from Talarico's parents of $1,437.84 for moving expenses in December 2021, according to the Dallas Express.

Five years later, he's facing difficult questions about whether he actually met that residency requirement.

"James Talarico has proven he has zero regard for Texans and the rule of law. He's been lying to voters and shamelessly committing election fraud to hold onto power," Attorney General Ken Paxton wrote on social media.

His campaign did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

Madison Cercy, a spokeswoman for the Paxton campaign, did not hold back in a statement to the Federalist.

"It is absolutely disgusting that James Talarico used his mother's address to not only commit voter fraud, but also to defraud his entire constituency, all so he could run in a safe Democrat seat," she said. "He is a lying politician who has been deceiving voters throughout his time in office, so it should come as no shock that he continues his flip-flop tour across the state of Texas."

A recent Democrat-aligned poll said Talarico had a five-point advantage over Paxton, but the Decision Desk voter probability has Paxton as a slight favorite over the Democrat.

Michigan City Council Member With Violent Past Charged With Election Fraud

Leon El-Alamin, a community activist and face of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's social justice program, is accused of lying on his candidacy form.

Trump exposed the cracks in our elections. The media proved his point.



On July 16, President Donald Trump delivered a national address on vulnerabilities in our electoral process, including noncitizens on voter rolls and foreign access to election data. Unsurprisingly, CNN, NBC, and ABC declined to carry the speech live on their primary networks.

The blackout reinforced what millions of Americans already believe: Major media outlets protect one party’s preferred narrative. Trump’s fiercest critics had already decided that anything he said must be false and that the nation’s elections require no further scrutiny.

When officials dismiss documented weaknesses as conspiracy theories — or when networks suppress the discussion altogether — they deepen the distrust they claim to deplore.

No available evidence proves that fraud compromised an election so thoroughly that officials should overturn the result. That is not the relevant standard for reform. Documented cases show that noncitizens have registered and voted, foreign governments have obtained sensitive voter data, and hostile actors have tried to influence American elections through cyberattacks and propaganda.

Fraud and foreign interference are designed to escape detection. Verified cases do not prove every sweeping allegation, but neither do they justify complacency. Investigators will never learn the scale of a problem when officials block attempts to examine it.

A preliminary Department of Homeland Security review reportedly flagged as many as 35,152 noncitizens on New Jersey voter rolls. Yet some state Democrats continue trying to make it easier for anyone who lives in New Jersey to vote while calling citizenship and identification safeguards “an attack on democracy nationwide.” The real attack on democratic legitimacy comes from leaving obvious vulnerabilities unresolved.

Claims that China produced fake driver’s licenses to facilitate mail-in voting remain allegations. The documented facts are serious enough: In 2020, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in Chicago seized more than 19,000 fraudulent driver’s licenses shipped from China and Hong Kong.

Federal prosecutors have brought a number of cases involving election fraud and ineligible voting. A searchable public database also compiles proven cases from across the country. These cases do not establish that every close election was stolen. They establish that safeguards have work to do.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin noted that a preliminary review found more than 250,000 noncitizens registered in California, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Nevada — four states containing roughly 19% of the U.S. population.

Democrats and much of the press have denounced these findings, but the dispute concerns the reliability and scale of the reported matches, not whether voter rolls can contain ineligible registrants. That distinction calls for transparent audits, not censorship or slogans.

Even before Trump’s speech, only 60% of voters said they were confident votes would be counted accurately nationwide. A self-governing republic cannot settle for 6 in 10 citizens trusting the machinery that selects its leaders.

Foreign governments have not remained idle. They have probed election systems through hacking, purchased publicly available data, and run influence campaigns designed to deepen political division.

Declassified intelligence indicates that Chinese actors acquired roughly 220 million U.S. voter records during the 2020 cycle, including names, addresses, phone numbers, and party preferences. Beijing did not collect that information out of civic curiosity.

China reportedly devoted resources to analyzing and exploiting the data. Its known operations include disinformation, social media influence efforts, and cyber reconnaissance targeting election infrastructure.

China is not alone. In 2021, two Iranian nationals were charged in a cyber-enabled disinformation and threat campaign intended to influence the 2020 presidential election. Russia has also conducted disinformation efforts across multiple election cycles.

Foreign interference becomes easier when voter data lack strong safeguards, identity checks remain inconsistent, mail-in systems use variable verification, and cybersecurity gaps go uncorrected. Every weakness provides another opening for adversaries seeking to manipulate voters or corrode trust in the outcome.

Congress can address those vulnerabilities without disenfranchising lawful voters or relitigating past elections. Photo identification, proof of U.S. citizenship at registration, sensible mail-in ballot safeguards, routine voter-roll maintenance, transparent audits, and stronger cybersecurity would raise the cost of both domestic fraud and foreign interference.

Trump’s speech deserved a national audience because election legitimacy depends on public confidence. The SAVE America Act, with photo-ID, citizenship verification, and mail-in ballot provisions, offers a practical place to begin.

Election integrity is not a partisan luxury. It is the foundation of representative government. When officials dismiss documented weaknesses as conspiracy theories — or when networks suppress the discussion altogether — they deepen the distrust they claim to deplore.

Trump was right to force the issue into public view. The media’s refusal to carry his argument did not disprove it. It demonstrated why so many Americans no longer trust the institutions telling them that nothing is wrong.

The Media Didn't Want You To See Trump's Election Bombshell | 7/17/26

Trump exposes how the 'deep state' purposely hid 2020 Chinese election interference from him



President Donald Trump told the nation from the White House Thursday that the Chinese government has interfered with American elections and gained access to "sensitive" voter data of tens of millions of Americans.

Trump also accused deep-state bad actors of "deliberately massag[ing]" his daily briefings and even of attempting to run a "shadow government" during his first term to keep the information about "China's election meddling" from him, other lawmakers, the media, and the American public.

Trump reiterated his demand that Congress pass the SAVE America act, and accused Democrats of stalling on the bill because it would keep them from cheating in elections.

The president said evidence of his claims are available for review at the White House website.

"The documents ... show that over a period of years, starting during the 2020 election cycle, the People’s Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history — resulting in China’s illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files," said the president.

He said the information China collected included "names, addresses, phone numbers, political party preferences, and other sensitive data that would be needed to register to vote and engage in other nefarious activities, which is exactly what was happening."

Trump then said the White House Government Transparency Task Force had gathered evidence that the "deep state" had worked to cover up the Chinese acquisition of U.S. voter data.

"U.S. spy agencies began learning about the compromise of voter registration files in 2020 when they discovered that tens of millions of voter data ... in 18 states have been bought, stolen, or hacked by China. Yet those responsible for sounding the alarm instead kept the information secret and hidden," he said.

He also claimed, citing a CIA document, that during his first term, China sought to influence major American business leaders and persuade them "to turn against the president of the United States." Trump further claimed China tried to buy off seemingly anti-Trump American journalists with "large sums of money" to write even more "negative articles about him."

He even claimed China tried to create bogus ballots in the 2020 election.

"Raw intelligence obtained by the FBI in 2020, yet buried by rogue bureaucrats, stated that China's activities even included an attempt to manufacture illegal ballots for Joe Biden," he added.

He went on to allege that officials had found as many as 287,000 non-citizens were found registered to vote nationwide.

The president also claimed that classified material that was supposed to be destroyed in "burn bags" was never actually destroyed, and he called on the FBI and the DOJ to investigate and to "prosecute those responsible for any crimes."

Trump reiterated his demand that Congress pass the SAVE America Act and accused Democrats of stalling on the bill because it would keep them from cheating in elections.

"The only reason you wouldn't [pass it] is you want to cheat because your policies are so bad and your candidates are so pathetic that you can't get away or can't get elected any other way," Trump claimed.

The SAVE America Act would require voters to show proof of citizenship to register to vote in elections and require a photo identification to cast a ballot. Left-wing critics of the proposal say it would disadvantage minorities and other Democratic demographics.

The president completed his address by calling on all Americans to pick up a phone and call their representatives to ask for the SAVE America Act to be passed.

Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) said he was briefed on the president's speech before the address and described it as possibly the "most important Oval Office address since the Cuban Missile Crisis."

He added, "The time for complacency with China is over."

Campaign insider reveals why Spencer Pratt paid the Crips and Bloods



A political aide to former reality TV star Spencer Pratt revealed just how far his campaign went to compete in the heavily Democrat-leaning electorate for Los Angeles mayor.

Pratt narrowly missed the cutoff to compete in the runoff election, but he has vowed to continue his fight to save Los Angeles from socialist policies and politicians.

'It was an experiment in completely upending the traditional politico paradigm, so we didn't have any political advisers. It was just me and Spencer.'

In an interview with Christopher Rufo on the "Rufo & Lomez" podcast Tuesday, Pratt's creative director, Gabriel Mann, revealed the unorthodox steps they took in the campaign to spread his message.

"There was no help — we begged people for help with our ground game — so we had to create our own," Mann said on BlazeTV.

"And you know what we did? We spent, I think, $100,000 paying the Bloods and the Crips. I'm not joking. Totally aboveboard, totally legal. We paid the Bloods and the Crips to go do ballot harvesting for us in their neighborhoods," he said.

"And that was the one thing that Spencer did that I think shocked a lot of people. I mean, we're in South Central, and we were partying," Mann added.

"What was their response to you guys?" co-host Jonathan "Lomez" Keeperman asked.

"Tremendous!" Mann replied.

Keeperman joked that the South Central residents were not likely to be high-propensity voters.

"They're not, but the people who showed up, the people with whom we interfaced, they're very engaged, and some of them — I had this 52-year-old mom come up to me in South Central, and she was like, 'My daughter is hooked on crack, and I cannot get anybody to help me. She's out on the streets. I can't get her home. I have no support,'" Mann said.

"She was like weeping, and I grabbed her by the arm and [said], 'Come talk to Spencer. We're gonna figure this out,'" he added.

The video closes out with scenes of Pratt talking to the woman and comforting her over her daughter's plight.

"I know a lot of people try to portray their campaign as grassroots, but, I mean, this was legitimately grassroots. ... It was an experiment in completely upending the traditional politico paradigm, so we didn't have any political advisers. It was just me and Spencer," Mann said.

Since the jungle primary election, Pratt published a video setting out all the evidence of possible election fraud.

The entire podcast video with Mann can be viewed on the YouTube channel for Rufo and Lomez.

Biden judge BLOCKS Trump's voter database expansion — says he 'trampled' on privacy rights



A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from using expanded government databases in its effort to purge voter rolls of foreigners.

U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan said the government "trampled" on the privacy rights of Americans and risked wrongfully purging voter rolls of Americans legally allowed to vote.

'It's amazing how hard the Left will fight to stop us from solving problems they insist do not exist.'

"All in all, the federal government has knowingly trampled on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote," Sooknanan said. "This Court cannot stand idly by while that happens."

The administration added government data, including Social Security data, to the SAVE federal database, which stands for Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements. SAVE is used to detect ineligible voters.

However, Sooknanan ruled that the expansion of the database violated privacy protections passed by Congress. She said the administration ignored the rules in order to "comply with an executive order aimed at reshaping federal elections, which directed them to create a system for mass voter verification."

James Percival, the general counsel for the Department of Homeland Security, criticized the ruling on social media.

"It's amazing how hard the Left will fight to stop us from solving problems they insist do not exist," he wrote. "Judge Sparkle Soknanan's [sic] latest ruling preventing DHS from addressing alien voting is just the latest example!"

Democracy Forward represented the group that challenged the expanded database.

"As the Trump-Vance administration continues its attack on the right to vote, this is an important victory for the American people and our democracy," said Skye Perryman, the group's CEO and president. "The data at the heart of this lawsuit was unlawfully consolidated in violation of privacy laws intended to protect sensitive personal information.”

The group added in a statement on social media: "This protects millions from baseless investigations and unlawful voter roll purges — a critical win for voting rights."

RELATED: Trump order leads to investigation of 33 potential incidents of noncitizen voting, AG Paxton says

Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York also praised the ruling.

"We got a big win in court today for free and fair elections, blocking Donald Trump's efforts to set up a massive voter purge database," he wrote on social media.

"I called this out months ago as one of Trump's most sinister strategies for subverting our elections this November," he added. "That's why Democrats blocked the wretched SAVE Act in the Senate — and we'll do so again, and again, and again. Democrats won't stop fighting until all of Trump's plans to rig the system are defeated."

Sooknanan was nominated to the bench by former President Joe Biden in Jan. 2025 just ahead of Trump entering his second term.

FBI now investigating alleged election fraud among homeless in Skid Row of Los Angeles



The Federal Bureau of Investigation is now looking into allegations of election fraud on Skid Row in Los Angeles.

The California Post reported that plainclothes federal agents are interviewing homeless people about the claims made in a video of votes exchanged for payment.

'Yeah, they come out here all the time,' said an unidentified woman who claimed she had been paid $2 to vote for Bass.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is also involved in the probe, according to the report.

The Justice Department only confirmed an investigation into a criminal matter and refused to offer additional information. The Post said its report determined the investigation was related to election fraud.

The investigation comes after a stunning video posted to TikTok that documented interviews with homeless people claiming they had been paid to vote for the Democrats in the Los Angeles mayoral election.

Republican mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt initially won second place in the jungle election, but after more votes came in, he slipped into third place and was boxed out of the general. Many suspected that his campaign was the victim of election fraud.

"Yeah, they come out here all the time," said an unidentified woman who claimed she had been paid $2 to vote for Bass.

"They gave you an optional choice," said a man calling himself Kevin Shepherd and claiming to have been paid $4 to vote for Bass.

He said they also would have paid him to vote for Nithya Raman, the other Democrat, but not for Pratt.

RELATED: Socialist mayoral candidate is outraged at encampment outside her LA home — it's not what it seems

Another woman said she was paid $5 to vote for Bass, but a separate investigation found that she was likely not a voter in the mayoral election.

The Post also admitted it could not independently confirm the claims in the video, which has since been deleted.

Pratt has said he is moving on to another phase of saving Los Angeles, which has less to do with running for election and more to do with exposing corruption of the Democrats in charge.
