New Postal Rule Is An Admission That Mail Voting Is A Mess

he United States Postal Service has announced a proposed new section to its mailing standards that would have a major impact on the return of mail-in ballots, as it would shift the responsibility to the voter to confirm the exact receival date by the postal service.

USPS realizes that with their new mail processing system, the postmark is no longer proof of the date that it received a piece of mail. Their solution is to make the customer — in the case of ballots the voter — responsible for confirming the receipt date of their piece of mail. It will be up to the voter to obtain proof of date of receipt, or without it, a ballot may not be counted.

“While the presence of a postmark on a mailpiece confirms that the postal service was in possession of the mailpiece on the date of the postmark’s inscription, the postmark date does not inherently or necessarily align with the date on which USPS first accepted possession of a mailpiece,” the proposal notes.

Voters can confirm the exact date that the postal service first accepted possession of their ballot in various ways. The customer can hand the ballot or mail to a postal clerk at the post office and request a manual postmark, purchase a “Certificate of Mailing,” or pay extra for registered or certified mail.

The postal service’s postmark has been considered the mail date for payments by mail, filing taxes, and other legal documents and, in 19 states and Washington, D.C., the mail date for mail-in ballots that are to be mailed by Election Day.

Lawless Jocelyn Benson Pushes New Rules to Make It Easier to Cheat in Michigan Elections – Then Skips Her Own Hearing on the Changes

Corrupt Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is pushing new election rules that were not approved by the state legislature, but rather by her, to make it easier for Democrats to cheat in the upcoming elections.

This is Benson’s latest obvious effort to make elections less secure in her state. Benson is running for governor in Michigan in 2026, and she is very unpopular in the state.

Secretary of State Benson has lost AT LEAST NINE lawsuits in the state, pushing illegal tactics to make it easier for Democrats to cheat in the state.

In her latest attempts to make elections less secure in this battleground state, Benson is making it nearly impossible for the election integrity group Check My Vote to operate in the state and to continue to clean up the voter rolls in Michigan.

Jocelyn Benson currently waged a war against the election integrity group Check My Vote and its founder, Phani Mantravadi.

Phani described the current assault on his organization:

1) MI SOS Jocelyn Benson doesn’t want Michiganders to know the real reason behind how 125,428 excess votes got cast in the Nov 2024 election, per the Oct 28, 2024, daily absentee report, and what precisely the glitch was. The latest explanation offered by her office doesn’t hold water.

(2) SOS Benson doesn’t want Michiganders to know that vote counts from statewide QVF don’t reconcile with vote counts from county QVF, from what little we’ve been able to see, until the SOS prohibited release of voter data from local counties. Why is she preventing the release of voter lists from counties and voter data from e-pollbooks?

(3) Ms. Benson wants Michiganders to think that voter roll maintenance is top-notch under her administration, with an occasional “glitch”. She wants Michiganders to believe that the problems being exposed are due to misadministration by local clerks.

However, the mountain of problems in the voter rolls discovered so far, compounded with the pattern of “glitches,” suggests that there might be something more sinister and intentional.

After all, if she truly wants to address the problems being brought to light and the issues that arose due to “misinformation,” as she claims, one would think she would welcome solutions such as CheckMyVote.org and all the free work that citizen volunteers are doing.

On Friday there was a hearing in Lansing open to the public to discuss Benson’s latest attempt to cheat in elections. Why else would she want corrupted voter rolls if she wasn’t planning on cheating?

According to The Midwesterner, Jocelyn Benson skipped her own hearing. She’s not just crooked, she’s also a coward!

ZERO attendees spoke in favor of Benson’s new rules that make it easier to cheat in state elections.

Orange County Woman Charged with Illegally Registering Her Dog to Vote in California and Casting Mail-In Ballots in Her Dog’s Name – Harmeet Dhillon Responds

An Orange County, California, woman was arrested and charged with illegally registering her dog to vote and casting mail-in ballots in her dog’s name.

Laura Lee Yourex, 62, of Costa Mesa, illegally registered her dog to vote in California and cast ballots in her dog’s name in the 2021 Gavin Newsom recall election and the 2022 primary election.

According to Orange County DA Todd Spitzer, the dog’s vote was successfully counted in the 2021 election but was rejected in the 2022 primary.

Yourex posted a photo of her dog in 2022 wearing an “I voted” sticker and posing with her ballot.

Yourex was charged with one felony count of perjury, one felony count of procuring or offering a false or forged document to be filed, two felony counts of casting a ballot when not entitled to vote, and one felony count of registering a non-existent person to vote.

She faces up to six years in state prison if convicted.

Per Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer:

A Costa Mesa woman has been charged with five felonies for illegally registering her dog to vote and casting ballots in her dog’s name in the 2021 California gubernatorial recall election and the 2022 primary election. The dog’s vote was successfully counted in the 2021 gubernatorial recall election but was rejected in the 2022 primary.

Laura Lee Yourex, 62, of Costa Mesa, has been charged with one felony count of perjury, one felony count of procuring or offering a false or forged document to be filed, two felony counts of casting a ballot when not entitled to vote, and one felony count of registering a non-existent person to vote. Yourex is scheduled to be arraigned at the Stephen K. Tamura West Justice Center in Westminster on September 9, 2025, in Department W12. She faces a maximum sentence of six years in state prison if convicted on all counts.

On October 28, 2024, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office was contacted by the Orange County Registrar of Voter’s Office about a resident who self-reported that she had registered her dog to vote and had in fact cast a mail-in ballot she received addressed to her dog, Maya Jean Yourex, for the 2021 gubernatorial recall election and the 2022 primary election.

According to the California Elections Code, in order to vote a person must be registered as a voter by filling out and submitting an Affidavit of Registration which includes the voter’s name, residence, mailing address, date of birth, political party preference and a certification that the voter is a citizen of the United States. The affidavit must be signed under penalty of perjury.

Proof of residence or identification is not required for citizens to register to vote in state elections nor is it required to cast a ballot in state elections. However, proof of residence and registration is required for first time voters to vote in a federal election. As a result, the 2022 primary ballot cast in Maya Jean’s name was challenged and rejected. The 2021 election to recall California Governor Gavin Newsom was voted down by 61.9% of voters.

Following an investigation by the Orange County District Attorney’s Office Bureau of Investigation, sufficient evidence was discovered to file criminal charges against Yourex for illegally registering her dog to vote and then casting mail-in ballots issued to her dog based on the fraudulent voter registration. On her social media, Yourex posted in January 2022 a picture of her dog wearing an “I voted” sticker and posing with her ballot. Another post from October 2024, showed a photograph of Maya’s dog tag and a vote-by-mail ballot with the caption “maya is still getting her ballot” even though the dog had previously passed away.

Harmeet Dhillion, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division, recently filed a lawsuit against Orange County Registrar of Voters Robert Page for refusing to hand over records showing non-citizens are registered to vote and receiving ballots in federal elections.

Democratic Party Official in South Korea: “If We Gather Every Opposition Voter and Bury Them in One Day, Democracy Will Advance”

A shocking development in South Korea took place recently: a senior official of the ruling Democratic Party, a former lawyer who now leads the Party’s Education and Training Institute, openly advocated for the elimination of opposition voters during a public book talk.

He referred to conservative voters as “No. 2 voters” (a derogatory label for supporters of the People Power Party, South Korea’s main opposition), and stated that if they were “all gathered in one day and buried, democracy would advance.” He also targeted the Yeongnam region (Daegu, Busan, Gyeongbuk, etc.), South Korea’s traditional conservative stronghold and home to strong support for opposition parties and President Yoon Suk-yeol, claiming residents there “lack thought and cannot judge right from wrong.”

This is not a mere slip of the tongue. It represents a disturbing call for the political elimination of South Korea’s pro-freedom electorate, undermining democratic norms and dehumanizing millions of citizens.

From The New Daily on September 4, 2025.

Full Article Translation below:

Title: Exclusive: In 2nd-victimization scandal, Choi Kang-wook — “If we gather the ‘No. 2 voters’ in one day and bury them, democracy will advance”

Choi Kang-wook, head of the Democratic Party’s Education and Training Institute—who is embroiled in a second-victimization controversy over sexual harassment—was confirmed to have made derogatory remarks about opposition voters and regional residents in a recent lecture. In a book talk format, he referred to supporters of the opposition party as “No. 2 voters,” suggesting they avoid thinking and cannot weigh right and wrong.

On September 4, political circles confirmed that Choi held a book talk for his work “Beneficial Conservatism, Righteous Progressivism” on August 30 in Naju, Jeollanam-do.

There, he said: “Lately people use the term ‘No. 2 voters’,” adding, “It’s used as a pejorative, ‘they voted #2,’ so why complain or jump down on them for it?”

(“No. 2 voters” refers to supporters of the People Power Party, the main opposition. Former DP head Lee Jae-myung once used the term in a 2024 campaign and later apologized.)

Choi continued: “When I go to Gyeongsang or the southeast, the atmosphere is intense. In Daegu and Gyeongbuk, or even Busan, Democratic Party citizens live like independence fighters. Every day is too painful—it’s maddening.”

He then mocked why people supported Park Geun-hye: “Because ‘she’s pretty.’ Or Yoon Suk-yeol—people say, ‘he speaks well, drinks well—real men are like that.’ In Naju, people can’t say that; they’d be called fools. But in Yeongnam, these people are the mainstream.”

CNN Now Pushing Conspiracy Theory That Trump is Going to Cancel Future Elections

CNN is now pushing the conspiracy theory, popular among leftists, that President Trump is going to cancel future elections.

For years, while Republicans were out of power, CNN and other liberal media outlets constantly accused people on the right of embracing and pushing conspiracy theories. You know, things like the Hunter Biden laptop, Biden’s mental infirmity, things like that which ultimately turned out to be true.

Now that Democrats are out of power, CNN thinks nothing of pushing untrue conspiracy theories, just because they think it could potentially harm Trump politically.

This is an actual CNN report:

Trump canceling elections? Democrats increasingly sound alarm bells.https://t.co/17MmM4npRH

— Aaron Blake (@AaronBlake) September 2, 2025

From the report:

When President Donald Trump sat down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last month, the topic was the weighty issue of ending Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But at one point, Trump took a provocative diversion into domestic politics.

Zelensky noted that, in his country, the law doesn’t allow for elections during periods of martial law.

“So you say during the war, you can’t have elections,” Trump responded. “So let me just say, three and a half years from now – so you mean, if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections? Oh, that’s good.”

Laughter ensued. Trump wondered aloud what the “fake news” would do with his comment.

But increasingly, Democrats aren’t laughing.

A growing number of them are arguing Trump will do something to either try to cancel or commandeer elections to keep his hold on power.

That might seem ridiculous to some. Trump hasn’t explicitly said he plans to cancel elections, and he said last month he would “probably not” run for a third term, which the Constitution forbids anyway. But the president has certainly floated such possibilities before and done plenty of anti-democratic things.

“Ex-Milwaukee Police Community Relations Director Charged in Shocking Election Fraud Scheme — Illegally Voted 12 Times

Marcey Patterson, a former Community Relations Engagement and Recruitment Director for the Milwaukee Police Department (MPD), has been slapped with a felony election fraud charge after investigators discovered she voted illegally in at least 12 separate elections while living outside the city she claimed as her residence.

Court documents obtained by Spectrum News 1 show Patterson hadn’t lived in Milwaukee since 2018, yet she continued to cast ballots in city elections through 2025, all while listing her mother’s Milwaukee address on her registration forms.

Even worse, she used that false address to illegally pocket thousands in taxpayer-funded residency pay incentives from the police department.

Patterson, hired in 2022, was entitled to a 3% residency pay boost, but only if she actually lived in Milwaukee. She didn’t.

Records confirm she lived in Glendale and later in Brown Deer, yet she knowingly pocketed $8,226.78 in inflated paychecks based on the fraudulent claim.

Despite living outside the city, Patterson kept showing up at the Samuel Clemens School polling station in Milwaukee, signing her name in the poll books for election after election, including the November 2024 and April 2025 contests.

Detectives later confirmed that her official voter registration listed a Milwaukee residence she hadn’t lived at in years.

Michigan’s Dirty SOS Jocelyn Benson Gives Green Light To ONLINE VOTING With NO Legislative Approval

On September 22, 2024, we warned of a shocking plan by Democrats to steal the upcoming general election.

In the 2000 presidential election, a mere 629 votes separated the race between George W. Bush and Al Gore in Florida. When the absentee overseas votes finally arrived, George W. Bush was able to take the 537-vote lead from Al Gore and win the presidency.

On August 12, 2024, the DNC released a memo announcing that it would spend six figures to collect up to 9 million Democratic votes from overseas.

The DNC’s stated goal of winning the votes of approximately 9 million Americans through its Democrats Abroad website seems impossible, given that, according to a recent report by the federal government, only 4.4 million US citizens reside overseas, and only 2.8 million of those are of voting age.

Watch this stunning montage of Democrats working with their allies in the media to push for millions of NON-EXISTENT overseas “voters” to miraculously cast millions of votes in the 2024 election.

Despite the fact that military members only make up a small fraction of all UOCAVA voters, Democrats and the media continue to identify all UOCAVA voters as “military voters” as a way to gaslight the general public into believing that Republicans who want to secure the UOCAVA voting system are trying to disenfranchise military voters.

DHS’s New Election Integrity Czar Has Receipts On Pennsylvania’s 2020 Fraud

Left-wing media outlets pounced this week to attack President Donald Trump’s new appointee for the Department of Homeland Security’s election-integrity czar.

Outlets including the Associated Press and ProPublica accused Heather Honey of being an “election denier” for the doubts she has cast over the 2020 election outcome.

However, Honey’s supporters pointed to the fact that she has the receipts to back up her skepticism—including evidence that Pennsylvania, a hotbed for vote fraud by many accounts, finished with 121,240 more votes than voters.

“Heather Honey’s work has never been refuted,” wrote Liz Harrington, Trump’s former campaign spokesperson. “She’s uncovered enough evidence to overturn the fraudulent 2020 election in multiple states.”

Trump could have clinched the election with Pennsylvania and Georgia—another hotly contested battleground state where questions over rampant fraud have yet to be fully resolved.

Left-wing activists, including Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, waged several lawfare attacks on Trump and his allies to ensure that previous efforts to investigate were punished.

Trump adviser Rudy Giuliani was sued for raising questions about the after-hours ballot counting at the Atlanta county’s State Farm Arena following video evidence suggesting that an election official had pulled cases of hidden ballots from beneath a table and scanned them multiple times.

Honey—who worked closely with Trump’s campaign lawyers such as Public Interest Legal Foundation chair Cleta Mitchell—played significant roles in the efforts to challenge Georgia’s final ballot count and the forensic audit of Arizona’s election, which uncovered widespread irregularities.

According to Mitchell, she confirmed more votes than voters in Michigan, as well.

“Her expertise is the study of systems to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by potential fraudsters and she was struck by what she saw in 2020 and started applying her expertise to research on election systems,” Mitchell wrote in a post defending Honey following the media smear attack.

Democrats Face Disaster as Another State Joins the Redistricting War

Democrats have long relied on gerrymandering to tilt the map in their favor. For years, they got away with it. But that winning streak is over. Republican-led states are finally striking back—methodically, aggressively, and with precision—reshaping congressional districts right under the left’s nose. While blue states scramble to hang on, Republicans are systematically gaining ground ahead of 2026.

The newest state to enter the redistricting wars is Florida, and Democrats have every reason to panic. With its latest moves, the Sunshine State is poised to shake up the congressional battlefield and give the GOP a decisive edge in the midterms.

Florida’s push comes on the heels of Texas’s, where Republicans wasted no time correcting the damage from the 2020 Census undercount. Despite Democrats’ stunts and loud public protests, Texas redrew its maps and neutralized the left’s advantage. That victory laid the blueprint, and now Florida is ready to double down—reworking districts mid-cycle and ensuring Republicans don’t leave a single seat on the table.

Meanwhile, blue state governors like Gavin Newsom in California and J.B. Pritzker in Illinois are in full scramble mode, feverishly drawing new maps in a desperate bid to blunt GOP momentum and cling to power. Accuracy and fairness in representation aren’t even part of the equation for them—it’s all about preserving their stranglehold on Congress. The obsession runs so deep that even Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey is vowing to gerrymander her state—despite the fact that Republicans don’t hold a single congressional seat there to begin with.

That, of course, is the real problem for Democrats. When it comes to the redistricting wars, Democrats have already gerrymandered their states so much they are running out of levers to pull. Their grip is loosening, and they know it. Demographic changes and voting patterns are swinging hard against them, and with each passing year, the data tells a grimmer story for the left: Americans are leaving their high-tax, high-crime, heavily regulated states for Republican-led havens where opportunity actually means something.

Trump to sign executive order mandating voter ID: ‘NO EXCEPTIONS’

President Donald Trump announced that he will sign an executive order requiring voters to present identification in all U.S. elections, while also largely eliminating mail-in voting.

President Trump issued the announcement in a Saturday Truth Social post, stating: “Voter I.D. Must Be Part of Every Single Vote. NO EXCEPTIONS! I Will Be Doing An Executive Order To That End!!!”

The president added that he will also remove the mail-in voting option, “Except For Those That Are Very Ill, And The Far Away Military. USE PAPER BALLOTS ONLY!!!”
