New York Court Strikes Down Law Allowing Noncitizens to Vote in Municipal Elections

In a landmark decision, the New York Court of Appeals has struck down a controversial law that would have allowed noncitizens and illegal immigrants to vote in municipal elections. 

The court ruled 6-1, declaring the law unconstitutional and reaffirming that only U.S. citizens have the right to vote in New York’s elections, effectively ending a contentious legal battle.

The law, passed in 2021 by the New York City Council during the final days of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s administration, was automatically enacted in 2022 after neither de Blasio nor his successor, Mayor Eric Adams, vetoed it. Designed to extend voting rights to over 800,000 noncitizens, including legal immigrants, in municipal elections, the law quickly faced fierce legal opposition, according to Trending Politics. 

Critics, including Republican lawmakers, argued that it violated the state constitution, which explicitly limits voting rights to U.S. citizens.

President Not Allowed To Solve Problems He Was Elected To Fix, Judges Order

There’s no doubt that if President Trump used his executive authority to increase hiring at federal agencies, allow in a million more destitute migrants at the southern border, and fast-track the high-ranking of trans service members, not a single judge would have ordered him to stop.

It would have never happened because in America 2025, the judiciary has made it impossible to ever fix severe problems Americans elect a president to address. The only thing a president can do on his own, according to their orders and rulings, is make the problems worse. To grow the government, flood the country with foreigners, and normalize antisocial behavior is always legal and legitimate. Joe Biden did it with impunity. But to oppose any of it is to get smacked down by some district judge who can’t stop raving about the “Hamilton” musical.

It’s been utterly surreal this week to watch court after court tell the head of the executive branch that he has no control over his own administration’s agencies (including the Defense Department), that he can’t decline to spend billions of taxpayer dollars on his political opposition’s domestic priorities, and that he’s required to halt deportations of alleged foreign terrorists.

D.C. District Court Judge Ana Reyes, a Biden appointee, on Tuesday prohibited the Defense Department from ending accommodations for trans-identifying service members, an early order from the president for the purpose of military “readiness.” Reyes, who earnestly cited the “Hamilton” musical in her order, effectively made herself commander of the armed forces, a job description that was previously exclusive to the president of the United States.

State Democrats Want Most Anyone to Vote in Washington – Even If They’ve Never Lived There

WA State Democrats (aka “The Anyone From Anywhere Can Vote Party”) sponsored bill SSB 5017: AN ACT Relating to adopting national standards for uniformed and overseas civilian voting, including conforming amendments to existing statute – Creates very troubling new state rules pertaining to the Uniform Military and Overseas Voter Act (UMOVA) and the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA).

As currently written, the bill would allow people born outside the U.S. who have NEVER EVEN SET FOOT OR LIVED in WA State (aka “Permanent Overseas Voters”) to vote in local elections – e.g., County Council, Commissioners, City Council, Mayors, School Boards, levies, being able to raise taxes on the locals, etc.

Yes, according to the bill, as long as these “voters”:

• Are over 18 and a United States citizen

• Have a “family member” who is (or was) eligible to vote in Washington and

• Have not registered to vote in another state

They are allowed to vote in our LOCAL ELECTIONS. What could go wrong?

This is a ridiculous and terrible policy, as this new class of “voters” could easily have no vested interest in the state or community they are now allowed to vote in.

Additionally, with no real, valid way to prove the actual I.D. of the voter, another easy avenue for voter fraud is opened up with SSB 5017.

Zelenskiy Cozies Up To Turkey As Erdogan Sees Chance To Finally Join EU, Zelenskiy WILL NOT Hold Elections

The former Ottoman Empire – Turkey – firmly ensconced in a Islamist frame of mind, as it supports the former Al Qaeda members running Syria and slaughtering Christians, sees its chance to finally be part of the EU tyrannical club with the issue of Ukraine.

As America pulls back from the brink, Turkey is a possible benefactor for Ukrainian President Zelenskiy, now that further massive American ‘aid’ is not likely.

But it will come with a cost for Ukraine. After all, Ukraine does need men.

Zelenskiy said yesterday that Ukraine saw Turkey as a partner in security guarantees for his country, and added that Kyiv was ready to ratify a free trade agreement between the states.

Wisconsin Election in Jeopardy? Concerned Clerk Sounds Alarm on Absentee Ballot Vulnerabilities

A Wisconsin election clerk has come forward with a chilling warning about major vulnerabilities in the state’s absentee ballot system, raising urgent concerns about election integrity just weeks before a crucial Supreme Court election.

Fearing retaliation and job loss, the clerk remains anonymous but reached out to The Gateway Pundit in a desperate plea to expose a serious threat to election security.

According to this whistleblower, a primary election glitch involving the state’s electronic voter registration system, Badger Books, could serve as a preview of potential fraud in the upcoming election.

“We had a glitch with Badger Books on Tuesday, February 18, that really got me thinking and worried to the hilt. I am happy to go into great detail. It is not nuanced and it all falls on clerks and the trustworthiness of our larger areas–Milwaukee and Dane Counties,” the clerk said.

On February 18, Badger Books reportedly malfunctioned by checking in absentee ballots that had never been returned, creating an erroneous voter turnout rate of up to 27% in some townships.

The whistleblower describes a deeply flawed absentee ballot process that appears ripe for abuse. Here’s how it works:

  • A voter requests an absentee ballot online or by calling their clerk. The request is processed through BadgerBooks, and the clerk prints labels for the ballot.
  • The ballot is mailed to the voter, recorded as sent, and then recorded again when returned.
  • However, there is nothing stopping election officials from printing duplicate ballot labels, tracking unreturned ballots, and fabricating votes with forged signatures and fake witnesses.

“There is no signature verification, no ID matching an address, and nothing preventing someone from printing extra labels and submitting fraudulent ballots.” the clerk warns.

Democracy Dies In Romania… After ‘Winning’ In December, Georgescu Now Banned From May Presidential Election

Is Romania the canary in the ‘death of democracy’ coalmine?

After today’s news, that canary – along with ‘democracy’ – is well and truly dead.

In a stunning turn of events – that we have a feeling could backfire disastrously on the elite establishment – Romania has barred far-right frontrunner Calin Georgescu from running in May’s presidential election, in a move that could worsen the country’s political turmoil.

The Bucharest-based electoral bureau invalidated Georgescu’s candidacy, a spokesman from the bureau said on Sunday. 

It received more than 1,000 challenges to Georgescu’s candidacy mostly related to his so-called anti-democratic and extremist stances. 

The decision can still be appealed at the Constitutional Court.

The decision to eliminate Georgescu from the May 4 presidential race will likely deepen Romania’s anti-establishment mood and benefit the far-right. 

Polls showed that had Georgescu run, he would’ve garnered between 40% and 45% of the vote in the first round, giving him a real chance of becoming Romania’s president.

Georgescu submitted his candidacy for May’s election – as an independent – reminding voters of the utter farce he has been through over the last coupel of months:

“Everyone is watching Romania and how the corrupt system acted,” said Georgescu on Friday, adding that he thought it’s impossible for his name not to be on the ballot’s list of candidates.

“They can’t afford to repeat the mistake.”

Well, they did!

As a reminder, after emerging victorious from the first round of voting in November’s presidential election, Romania’s top court in December to annul the outcome of last year’s presidential vote, which cited suspicions of Russian meddling (via TikTok!?) in his campaign.

Following their decision, the Black Sea bordering nation tumbled into its biggest political crisis since the collapse of communism. 

The decision has also buoyed the success of Romania’s extremist parties, in a country already disillusioned with the political mainstream, prompting massive protests nationwide…

Utah GOP to End Universal Mail-In Voting, Moves to Restore Election Integrity

Utah Republicans are making a stand for election security, passing legislation that will dramatically change how mail-in ballots are handled in the state. The GOP-controlled Legislature has approved legislation that would end universal mail-in voting and implement stronger voter identification requirements. The bill now awaits the signature of Republican Governor Spencer Cox, who has already signaled his support.

For years, Utah has been one of the few Republican-led states that embraced universal mail-in voting, which automatically sends ballots to every registered voter. But amid growing concerns about election integrity, particularly from voters who have watched election chaos unfold in other states, Utah lawmakers are taking action to tighten security measures and stop potential absentee ballot fraud.

Eight states and Washington, D.C., allow all elections to be conducted entirely by mail: California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Vermont and Washington state.

Five Republicans joined all Democrats in opposing the bill, which passed with veto-proof margins in the House and fell one vote short of a veto-proof majority in the Senate.

Democrat State Sen. Nate Blouin was quoted by the Associated Press as saying Republicans were “conspiracy thinking” around election security.

Under the new Utah law, voters who wish to receive mail-in ballots must opt-in, rather than having ballots sent to them automatically. This represents a major shift from the current system, which many critics argue is vulnerable to fraud and manipulation. Additionally, the bill strengthens voter ID requirements, requiring anyone returning a ballot by mail or drop box to provide the last four digits of their driver’s license, state ID, or Social Security number.

Detroit Activist Brings 80 Citizens To DC To Plead With Lawmakers To Help Fix Stolen Elections In Their Crooked City: “The false narrative that only whites think elections are being stolen—that’s a fabrication!”

Longtime Detroit activist Ramon Jackson, who is currently running for a seat on Detroit’s city council, joined the popular Detroit Pastor Lorenzo Sewell, to bring an estimated 80 Detroit residents by bus to Washington, D.C. on Thursday. Their goal is to shine a bright light on rampant voter fraud in the black-majority city of Detroit. Larry Jasper and Craig Jefferson from Pontiac, MI, which is also a black-majority city, accompanied the Detroit delegation to help bring attention to their city’s broken elections. Election integrity expert and former Trump attorney Cleta Mitchell, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), Rep Mark Miller (R-IN), and Rep.Josh Breechan (R-OK), joined the Detroit contingent to discuss the importance of the SAVE Act to protect our elections by requiring voters to provide proof of citizenship to vote in every state.

In his speech in front of 3 US lawmakers, none of whom were from Michigan, Mr. Jackson spoke about a lawsuit against Detroit City Clerk Janice Winfrey and Michigan’s dirty SOS Jocelyn Benson, that is currently pending in the 6th District Court. Jackson said he hopes to get a Republican jury to hear his case, because he believes they will be more fair when it comes to taking voter fraud seriously in Detroit.

Ramone also told the crowd that the narrative that only White Republicans care about voter fraud is a lie, as he pointed to the 80 + Black Detroit citizens who accompanied him to DC, hoping to get lawmakers to help them stop the ridiculous, unchecked voter fraud in Detroit and the state of Michigan.

He explained how the names of people who move out of state or to a new address are being used by others to cast illegal votes. Mr. Jackson knows what he’s talking about since he was a victim of identity theft when someone voted in the city of Detroit using his name while he was living in Ohio for a short period. Jackson has discovered dozens of examples of friends or acquaintances who’ve told him they’ve never voted, yet Jackson has found their names on the Detroit voter rolls showing they’ve voted in one or more elections.
