Hundreds of Maine Absentee Ballot Envelopes Mysteriously Shipped to Soros-Linked Nonprofit at Maryland Residence — Democrat AG’s Office Declines Subpoena, Investigation CLOSED Without Answers

A box of blank Maine absentee ballot return envelopes, part of a shipment of sensitive election materials that never arrived at the state’s Bureau of Corporations, Elections, and Commissions, was delivered to a residential house in Cambridge, Maryland.

That house is the listed headquarters address for the Center for Civic Design, a left-wing election-design nonprofit with documented funding ties to George Soros-backed grantmakers and the Arabella Advisors network, as well as direct connections to Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows.

State investigative records obtained by The Maine Wire and detailed in reporting by Steve Robinson show detectives recovered 498 of the 500 missing envelopes from the group. The investigation was closed without determining how or why the package was redirected. UPS told authorities a subpoena would be required for additional tracking and surveillance records.

The Attorney General’s office concluded there was not enough information to issue one. The case was marked closed pending further information, with officials concluding the reason for the redirection “remains speculative.” Bellows never publicly announced the end of the probe.

On September 10, 2025, Adam Graphic Corp. of North Attleboro, Massachusetts, shipped 62 boxes, each containing 500 blank absentee voter ballot return envelopes, to Maine election officials in Augusta.

By the next day, the elections office had received 61 of the boxes; one was missing. Around September 13, the box arrived at the Center for Civic Design’s Cambridge address, marked return-to-sender from a UPS facility in Chelmsford, Massachusetts.

CBS News Invites Dem Who Kicked Trump Off The Ballot To Spread ‘Election Denier’ Garbage

Bari Weiss’s CBS News had Jena Griswold on to lecture Americans about threats to their elections in an interview on Sunday. The Colorado secretary of state tried to kick President Donald Trump off the Colorado ballot in the 2024 election, oversaw the leak of hundreds of election system passwords, and sent tens of thousands of postcards encouraging voter registration to noncitizens.

Griswold joined 60 Minutes seemingly just to denounce former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters. Peters was sentenced to a nine-year prison term after Griswold worked with state Attorney General Phil Weiser to prosecute Peters for effectively questioning the 2020 election results and preserving election data.

As Mike Davis reported in these pages, opponents of Peters “falsely alleged she illegally colluded with Lindell’s associate, Conan Hayes, to steal and misuse the ID badge of a Mesa County employee named Gerald Wood to access the county’s election system and to save a copy of the hard drive before a new system was installed.”

Notably, a jury acquitted Peters of identity theft and actually accepted her account that Wood consented to the use of his credentials, as Davis reported. An appeals court also found that the sentencing judge’s “comments about Peters’ beliefs were improper,” as described by Courthouse News, and vacated the sentence. (Before she could be resentenced, Gov. Jared Polis issued a commutation letter and shorted her sentence so that she would be released on parole. Jared cited the appeals court’s reasoning.)

In an interview with CBS News’ Bill Whitaker, Griswold said Peters “was elected by her county to uphold the elections. Instead — she attacked the elections from within.”

“Tina Peters ordered that her video surveillance cameras be turned off and then took images of the voting equipment and shared it with a network of election deniers,” Griswold said.

Peters has maintained that she sought to preserve election records before a state-mandated voting-system update. As Davis wrote in these pages, “Colorado law permitted Peters to access and archive the hard drive, but she went about things the wrong way.” As Davis also noted, Peters changed no ballots or results.

“What was harmed by her actions?” Whitaker followed up.

“Voting equipment, confidence in Colorado elections and American elections, and election workers,” Griswold argued.

But Whitaker failed to ask how any of those things were actually harmed. Further, Whitaker failed to ask whether there is a legal basis for a clerk saving data (there is, as Davis wrote in these pages, but Peters may not have done so properly). He also declined to question Griswold about her own election security failures.

Griswold’s own office posted passwords to statewide voting systems online. The secretary’s office put an Excel file online with a “hidden” page of 600 passwords to voting systems for nearly every single county in the state, as reported in these pages. The leak came while Colorado voting was already underway, seemingly posing a clear danger to the integrity of Colorado’s elections, though Griswold insisted there was no “immediate security threat.”

But Griswold is not in jail, nor has she been charged in relation to that security breach.

Griswold also sent out 31,000 postcards to foreign nationals on how to register to vote for the 2022 midterms. Her office used data from the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC). ERIC pulls data from agencies such as the department of motor vehicles, and in Colorado foreign nationals can obtain driver’s licenses. Griswold then refused to cooperate with county officials to see whether any of the ineligible residents illegally voted in the 2022 midterms.

Griswold’s record goes beyond administrative failures. The official CBS News invited to lecture Americans about election confidence also supported using lawfare to deny voters the chance to vote for Trump.

Left-wing activist group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) backed a challenge by Colorado voters to disqualify Trump under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which was written to bar previous Confederate insurrectionists from holding office. Six Colorado voters asked the court to order Griswold to keep Trump’s name off the ballot. The left-leaning Colorado Supreme Court ruled 4-3 that Trump was ineligible to appear on the ballot. Griswold then filed a brief with the Supreme Court arguing states can keep Trump off the ballot and said that Trump should not get a “get out of jail free” card.

The Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision vetoing Griswold’s lawfare efforts, ruling states do not have the constitutional authority to kick Trump off the ballot.

Griswold said she was “disappointed” when the high court rebuked her attempt to kick a candidate off the ballot and said it was “concerning that federal candidates, at this point, can engage in insurrection and then face no accountability for ballot access.”

CBS could have asked Griswold how her own warnings about election confidence cohere with her support of an unconstitutional attempt to kick Trump off the ballot or how Griswold’s own failures to keep elections safe damage the trust she accused Peters of damaging. Instead, the 60 Minutes interview gave Griswold a free pass to smear Peters while evading scrutiny of her own failures.

Minnesota Official Tells Somalis How to Vote With No ID and Same-Day Registration – All They Need is a Phone, TV, or Internet Bill!

A Minnesota election official went on a Somali TV station on Monday to advertise Minnesota’s nonexistent voter ID requirements by telling all of the illegals that they don’t even need an ID or an active voter registration to vote.

Minnesota law requires voters to be citizens of the United States to vote in state and local elections, but they require no proof. A phone, TV or internet bill qualifies documentation to register– even on the same day.

In an interview posted to Somali TV of Minnesota on Monday, Minnesota Secretary of State Voter Outreach Director Melanie Hezlip was asked by the station’s Abdirizak Diis what Somali viewers need to bring to the polls this election.

Her answer: nothing.

“If you’re already registered to vote, you don’t need to bring anything with you,” Hezlip said.

“You just show up to your early voting location, which is usually the county office or a city hall. Minneapolis and the bigger jurisdictions have a lot of extra places where you can go, like a lot of libraries or community centers.”

“As long as you’re registered to vote, you don’t need to bring anything with you,” she added.

Stunning Sharyl Attkisson Report: Breitbart, Gateway Pundit, FOX, NY Post Being Shut Out on Yahoo, MSN and other Major Online News Platforms

Award winning journalist Sharyl Attkisson is host of “Full Measure,” which focuses on investigative and accountability reporting. Her show is shown on channels around the country on Sunday morning.

Sharyl is one of the few courageous and honest reporters in American who is willing to give you ALL of the news and just not liberal commentary that floods our airwaves day in and day out.

On Sunday, Sharyl Attkisson ran a segment on Full Measure on how conservative news is being blocked by online platforms like Yahoo and MSN.

This study shows how Breitbart, The Gateway Pundit, FOX News, New York Post, are completely shut out on their news pages.

This is likely criminal behavior.

We all know if they started publishing our reports along with other conservative outlets the fake news would be exposed. So they won’t.

On Sunday Sharyl spoke with David Bozell, the President of the Media Research Center to discuss the results of his platform’s recent study on media bias.

Here is a partial transcript:

David Bozell: I can’t remember the last story that Newsweek ever broke, and there it sits as a top 20 news website in America based solely and almost exclusively on the fact that in the last 6 months that we’ve been doing this, they have been linked to by MSN 524 times.

But more frustrating than the liberal media ecosystem just getting this uplift, there is a total blockade of this emerging conservative media ecosystem. New York Post, goose egg. Breitbart, goose egg. Gateway Pundit, goose egg. The conservative ecosystem is being shut out. The liberal ecosystem is being broadcast to hundreds of millions of people a month. Using the point of entry. Apple News is preloaded on your iPhone, on everyone’s iPhone. Google News is preloaded on your Android. MSN is preloaded on every desktop.

Sharyl Attkisson: According to the research, out of 487 top stories last February on Google News, only 11, or 2.2%, were right-leaning. 314, or 64.5%, were left-leaning. As for Apple News last January, of 620 top stories, there were zero right-leaning stories and 440 left-leaning. Articles on popular websites like Fox News and the New York Post were never promoted. A broader Big Four analysis showed the apps promoted 92% left-leaning outlets and only 17% of right-leaning ones. Have you been able to reach anybody at Apple Google, MSN to ask them questions about how they’re distributing the news?

David Bozell: I sent a letter to Tim Cook at Apple before he— he’s just recently stepped down, but offering to help. It was private correspondence, so I’ll keep it there. But I did. I did. The research is sound. The research has not been disputed. So, but, but that’s been the—

Sharyl Attkisson: Did you get any kind of positive response?

David Bozell: No, no response. Unfortunately.

Sharyl Attkisson: Do you sense this, what you’re describing, is an organized and propagandized effort, or just the way people feel and they’ve been given free rein to express opinions in the news?

David Bozell: I think it’s organized in the sense that it’s universal. Maybe not so much organized, it’s universal. Go get Trump. He cannot succeed. Conservatism The shrinking of government cannot succeed. Making America wealthy again cannot succeed. Protecting the American taxpayer cannot succeed. Exposing fraud cannot succeed. How organized is it? I like to think that the conservative movement has more, better, more fun conspiracy meetings than the liberals do, but certainly there’s gazillions of dollars being funded.

How Washington Think Tanks Paved the Road to Serfdom

In the same way that medieval kings seized any excuse to invade neighboring countries, today’s politicians perennially seek pretexts to further invade citizens’ lives. And there is never a shortage of intellectuals who, like the courtiers long ago, assure their masters that God — or at least social science — blesses their aggression.

Inside the Washington beltway, it is bad taste to recognize how federal policy is often shaped by the love of power. Experts and activists persistently overestimate the likelihood of successful interventions because of their starry-eyed assumptions about the political class.  Because political scientists cannot measure power lust, they leave it out of their equations. This makes everything neat and tidy garbage.

The more power that government amasses, the more intellectual homage it receives. Washington experts constitute a Greek chorus that bestows accolades on the Powers That Be. There are now more than 400 think tanks in the Washington area, some of which offer little more than an intellectual version of “rent-a-mobs” of political protestors.

Oppressive regimes buy good reputations as think tanks become “a  muscular arm of foreign governments’ lobbying in Washington,” the New York Times reported in 2015. The Brookings Institution received a windfall from the government of Qatar, which has a dismal human-rights record, to set up a research institute that, according to the Qatari government, would devote itself to “reflecting the bright image of Qatar in the international media, especially the American ones.”

After an especially tawdry fixed election in 2011, the Kazakhstan government’s image was burnished by two think tanks on its payroll — the Center for Security and International Studies and the Institute for New Democracies. The Atlantic Council, another prominent D.C. think tank, pockets cash from Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and NATO. The Times noted in 2015 that “since 2011, at least 64 foreign governments, state-controlled entities or government officials have contributed to a group of 28 major United States-based research organizations.”

Washington think tanks proliferated at the same time that federal policies became more hare-brained. Some think tanks are little more than “cash machines for power” for politicians. Clifford May, the president of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, commented in 2005: “It is the job of think tanks to create political capital. It is the job of politicians to spend it.” May’s think tank extols politicians who advocate bombing Muslim nations.

The profusion of think tanks and policy wonks spawn the illusion that ideas drive policy in Washington. But in many cases, ideas are simply pretenses to sanctify the pursuit of power. A president or prominent politician knows he can recite bosh and a bevy of commentators will race to praise his courage and vision. For instance, in a 2016 email to Hillary Clinton presidential campaign chief John Podesta, Neera Tanden, the president of the Center for American Progress, assured him that she was a “loyal soldier” and that “I would do whatever Hillary [Clinton] needs always.” The Washington definition of “independent thinker” is merely someone without a visible receipt for his opinions.

Some think tanks have been fronts for political operatives. Jack Abramoff, the most powerful lobbyist in Washington during the early years of the George W. Bush administration, placed an aging beach lifeguard at the head of American International Center, a think tank he created to funnel money to himself and his favorite causes. The scam was fruitful until Abramoff’s other machinations won him admission to federal prison.

Newt Gingrich’s boutique think tank, the Center for Health Transformation, pocketed $37 million from healthcare corporations and industry groups before going bankrupt in 2012 after Gingrich’s presidential campaign floundered. Gingrich used his op-eds and speeches to tout positions favored by his think-tank donors and omitted mentioning who was bankrolling his operation.

Trump DOJ charges James Comey with transmission of national defense information in third case

The Trump administration charged former FBI Director James Comey for the third time on Monday, with the latest accusing him of transmitting national defense information and conspiring to transmit national defense information.

A grand jury has not indicted Comey on the latest charges, but the case has been playing out under seal since Oct. 5, according to NBC News. Comey’s defense attorneys sought to have the charges dismissed last week.

Comey was charged with making a threat against the president earlier this year and transmitting a threat in interstate commerce, after he posted a photo of shells on a beach last year in the formation of “86-47,” which prosecutors alleged was a threat against the president.

Comey was also charged last year with obstruction of justice and making a false statement to Congress in 2020, though those charges were dismissed.

Brazilian Justice Alexandre Moraes Orders Flavio Bolsonaro to Surrender His Passport! – The Commies Are Going to Jail Him Like They Did His Father!

Conservative leader Flávio Bolsonaro has been summoned by the Federal Police to hand over his passport within 24 hours.

The order was issued by the wicked Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes.

Moraes argues that there is a risk that Flavio Bolsonaro could flee abroad to avoid prosecution.

Lula and Moraes want to jail Flavio with his father Jair Bolsonaro – There crime was daring to oppose them in an election and forcing the communists to make an obvious steal.

This is sickening! It took less than 24 hours following the very controversial election that allowed Lula to keep polling stations open late.

Conservative Flavio Bolsonaro called for Sunday’s presidential results to be annulled in Brazil.

This comes after socialist tyrant Lula da Silva callled his personal attorney and Brazilian Justice Christiano Zanin to hold the polls open for two extra hours. Lula arrested the former pro-American leader Jair Bolsonaro following the previous election and is still persecuting the man – like a typical communist.

Somaliland Accuses Ilhan Omar Of Leaking Classified Congressional Info To Somalia

Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) father participated in genocide in Somaliland, and Omar herself has connections to top Somali thugs, so unsurprisingly there is a natural antipathy between Omar and Somaliland. The latest (resurrected) accusation from the breakaway African republic against Omar is that she leaked classified information to Somali leaders.

Ali Hassan Mohamed, former Somaliland minister of information, originally posted his accusation against Omar in 2024, but the @RepOfSomaliland account, which Somaliland’s Foreign Ministry has said is not an official government channel, is highlighting the accusation again to emphasize why Omar is a threat to American security.

On Sunday, the @RepOfSomaliland account (which Somaliland’s Foreign Ministry has said is not an official government channel), wrote of Omar, “She served on that same [House Foreign Affairs] committee and pressed Somalian leaders to act against Somaliland before relations between the Republic of Somaliland and the United States grows stronger. Months later on 6 February 2023, the Las Anod conflict erupted. Hundreds were killed and thousands displaced in a move that sought to destabilize Somaliland – but failed. This is how a foreign agent operates.”

Omar, whose real last name is Nur Said Elmi like her murderous father, is in America just to exploit our systems for her own benefit while still helping out the Islamic dictators back home. Somaliland is pro-America, but Somalia definitely isn’t.

By the way, the U.S. federal investigation into Omar’s immigration fraud includes not only the evidence that she married her brother, but also the total lack of record for her father’s naturalization as a citizen. Omar asserted that she had become a United States citizen through her father while she was still a minor, although she likely tampered with her birth year and he apparently lied about his citizenship status. Given all this, it is entirely possible that we have had a noncitizen Somali warlord’s daughter sitting in Congress all these years. No wonder she said that she would represent Somalia’s interests in Congress.

Omar is not just a liar and a criminal; she is a foreign asset embedded in our government. It’s time she is out of Congress and deported back to the country she claims to love so much.

Polling Industry’s Collapse Continues: Total Number of Fake Polls Exposed Reaches 15

As Democrats push to gain control of Congress, polls that may have shown them leading various battleground races have been exposed as part of a widespread fraud.

A group called Wedgewood Polling admitted that the numbers it tossed around in Georgia, Michigan, Texas, and other states were fake, according to USA Today, which was among the outlets that said they were fooled.

“The Wedgewood results in some cases were slightly more favorable for Democrats than other polls in the same race,” USA Today noted, citing one poll that had incumbent Georgia Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff ahead of his Republican rival, Rep. Mike Collins, by 10 percentage points.

Time noted that Newsweek, MS NOW, and Politico also embraced the fake polling. The New York Times admitted to using 15 of Wedgewood’s polls.

The outlet noted that the political polling site FiftyPlusOne exposed the fakery, and that when confronted, Wedgewood said the polling was an “experimental project.”

“How easy is it for an entirely fabricated polling firm to gain traction, be taken seriously, and expose how little scrutinization exists in media and in public commentary?” the firm wrote in a since-deleted post.

“The short answer: Far too easy,” it wrote.

Deported migrant who ’60 Minutes’ painted as sympathetic family man claimed he was gay on asylum application

Sunday’s “60 Minutes” featured the story of a deported Malian national who was painted as a loving husband and father despite insisting he was homosexual on his asylum application.

The CBS News segment focused on Moussa Diawara and his family, speaking to his wife, 16-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter. But the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) says Diawara, who arrived in the United States in 2001, is actually an example of widespread fraud throughout the immigration system.

“The ‘60 Minutes’ sob story tonight highlighted an illegal alien and his wife and two children. One problem. The illegal alien claimed he was a HOMOSEXUAL in order to try and dodge deportation to Mali,” ICE posted on X.

Fox News exclusively obtained Diawara’s 2009 asylum application in which he declared that he needed to remain in America because he was a gay man who could be killed if sent back to his native country.

“My asylum application is based upon ground of well founded past persecution and an undisputable fear of life threatening to my person if I were to return to my country Mali. In fact I had experienced extreme punishment and persecution based on the ground of my sexual orientation,” Diawara wrote in his asylum application.

“Since I came to the USA I had the possibilities to express my feelings to men without any embarrassment no reserve. Indeed, my tribal group and community as a whole had reported my sexual orientation to my family back home because such behavior is unwelcome in my society,” he continued. “My life is hence worth threatened if I have to go back to my country because I could be executed either by the Islamic group or the community.”

Diawara also wrote in the application that he was “banished” from attending Malian activities because he’s “a homosexual,” who has received threats.

“These are the reasons why I applied for asylum in the USA to seek protection from the US government,” Diawara wrote.
