The Pennsylvania Senate race was finally called when Democrat Bob Casey conceded that the Democrats were attempting to count ballots that had no date or the wrong date. Luckily, the Supreme Court sided with the RNC.
But how do we prevent voting in a federal election from getting to this point in the future?
“What we need is a voter’s election integrity bill of rights, because these crazy laws are really infringing on the voting rights of people who go to the polls, do it right,” Cleta Mitchell, senior legal fellow for the Conservative Partnership Institute, tells Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson of “Blaze News Tonight.”
“There are a number of principles that we’re sort of coalescing around that need to be both in federal law and in state law,” she continues. “Only citizens vote, voter ID for every kind of voting, make sure that all ballots are received by the time the polls close on Election Day, make sure that there’s transparency and accountability.”
“This situation needs to be corrected. It’s way past time to do that,” she adds.
Illinois is one state that has pushed the boundaries regarding election integrity, allowing mail-in ballots to be counted up to fourteen days after the election.
“Do you think that this is something where the Supreme Court, or the courts, might not ultimately decide in the right direction? It just seems so egregious, but people now, they’re kind of used to it, in our corrupt system, allowing these mail-ins to come in after the fact,” Peterson comments.
“Judicial Watch has filed suit in both Illinois and also Mississippi, and the Fifth Circuit ruled that receiving ballots after the time the polls close on Election Day violates the federal statute,” Mitchell responds.
“I think that one of the things that we need to do is say that there’s a beginning and an end when we as a country vote, pretty much at the same time,” she continues. “We might have to make some accommodations for people to vote in person early if they’re going to be out of state.”
“I think we need to get rid of this universal vote by mail, this universal sending of ballots to people whether they requested them or not,” she adds.

Donald Trump made history when he won the 2024 presidential election in a landslide. But he didn’t do it alone, and his son’s wife, Lara Trump, played a big part in making that happen.
Now she’s telling Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show” exactly how they did it.
“There were people who had kind of been identified by us prior to our first days in the office, so to speak, at the RNC, who probably didn’t necessarily need to have a job there any more,” Trump tells Wheeler.
“This election, the RNC was kind of trying to be too many things, I think to too many people, and when you do that, you really can’t adequately do anything, right? You’re spreading yourself too thin,” she continues, noting that they instead decided to focus on three things.
“We said we want to have a world-class convention, we want to get out the vote, and we want to protect the ballot, and we’re going to focus on just those three things, and anyone who has ideas otherwise, quite frankly, maybe this isn’t the right place for you,” Trump explains.
In order to make sure this was a “free, fair, and transparent election,” Trump tells Wheeler that they made sure “that people understand someone is watching and that there will be eyes every time a vote is cast and counted.”
“We had to go to every single battleground state, and we had to get local media to cover the fact that we were going to have this huge election integrity push. So we opened offices all over the country, these election integrity offices, where we actually train people in terms of what you need to look for, how to be a poll watcher or a poll worker,” she explains.
Trump’s team set out a “lofty” goal to recruit 100,000 people to work in polling locations — and they ended up with 230,000 people. They also got 6,500 lawyers to identify potential problems and deal with those problems if they occurred.
“Most of these people, by the way, were volunteer attorneys,” she explains, adding, “We’re obviously very pleased with our outcome.”
Wheeler is impressed.
“I know some of the lawyers that worked for you; almost every smart, conservative attorney that works in media and politics was part of this, which is to say a lot of very impressive people were part of this,” she says.

The Democrat-run Wake County Board of Elections dismissed all three election protests brought by Judge Jefferson Griffin, the Republican candidate in the state’s Supreme Court race.

Two close state House races flipped from Republicans to Democrats, and one of those races has missing ballots.
The county elections board decided to accept the votes of deceased residents despite guidance from the state board to remove them.
"There has never — from what I can tell — been a comparison to the Numbered List of Voters."
'You cannot 'Make America Great Again' without securing our elections,' said Merissa Hamilton.
The judge ruled that the plaintiffs lacked standing to bring the case.
'The thing missing was clearly the most important thing.'
Republican state legislators in North Carolina are moving quickly to pass measures to restrict Democrat power over elections after likely losing its veto-proof majority in the state House.
