Minneapolis Dems: We Know Our Election Was Rigged But Let’s Keep The Results Anyway

The voting process at the Minneapolis Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party convention in July was such a mess that state DFL leadership investigated and nullified the local party’s endorsements. Now the Minneapolis DFL wants the state DFL to restore the results it nullified and give the endorsement back to DFL candidate Omar Fateh, a member of the Democrat Socialists of America (DSA), KSTP Television reports.

Fateh is challenging incumbent DFL Mayor Jacob Frey, who came in second in the shady Minneapolis endorsement convention.

The Federalist previously reported that the Minnesota DFL’s Constitution, Bylaws and Rules Committee (CBRC) investigated the local convention and found the voting process had “substantial failures.”

The investigation revealed that the convention organizers undercounted 176 votes in the mayoral race. During voting, one candidate was “errantly eliminated from contention.” The digital spreadsheet used to count votes was left unsecured. The computer tallying results didn’t work properly, and the task of tallying results was switched to a different computer in the middle of the process. The creator of the results program left before results were counted. At some point the convention members decided to change their voting method from digital to “show of badges.”  

With so many obvious breaches in election integrity, it looks like the convention was rigged. But the local DFL wants the state DFL to ignore all that its investigation found and hand Fateh an endorsement.

The state DFL barred Minneapolis DFL from conducting another 2025 mayoral endorsing convention and from endorsing a mayoral candidate in 2025. Minneapolis DFL is on probation for two years, and it must convince the state DFL that it can meet the “standard DFL principles and practices.”

The Federalist asked the state DFL if it would consider reinstating the local party’s endorsement but did not receive a response. It should not.

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.”

“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.

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!!!”

Newsom Holds Californians Hostage, Refuses to Fully Fund Prop 36 – A Measure that Passed in a Landslide to Increase Penalties for Theft and Drug Trafficking

California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) is holding Californians hostage by refusing to fully fund Proposition 36 – a measure that passed in a landslide in November 2024 that increases penalties for theft.

Proposition 36 passed in California in a landslide 71% to 21%.

California voters overwhelmingly voted to increase penalties for theft and drug trafficking after a record number of brick-and-mortar retailers closed down due to smash-and-grab robberies.

Governor Gavin Newsom (D) opposed Prop 36 because he said it’s “too harsh.”

Per LA Public Press, Prop 47 “scaled back punishments for certain nonviolent offenses for drugs and theft, which were reclassified from felonies to misdemeanors.”

Under Prop. 36, penalties will be increased, and sentences will be lengthened for drug possession and for the theft of items valued at less than $950.

Prop. 36 rolls back some of the soft-on-crime policies that California voters passed in 2014 with Prop. 47.

Newsom has only approved $100 million for prop 36 – far below the $400 million needed to fully pay for the new law.

Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman blasted Newsom for not funding prop 36.

“We will call [Newsom],” Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman said. “We will send him social media. We will DM him. I’ll say it right to the camera, Governor Newsom if you’re watching, get us this funding. If you want to save lives, get us this funding.”

Newsom Slips — Admits ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS are VOTING in U.S. Elections

In defending his state’s sanctuary laws, California Governor Gavin Newsom warned that Immigration and Customs Enforcement might show up at polling places to “chill participation.” 

That statement was an admission: Democrats know non-citizens are voting—and they are relying on it.

For years, Democrats and allied media have insisted that non-citizen voting is a “myth.”

Yet extensive research contradicts them. A 2014 Electoral Studies paper found that about one-quarter of non-citizens were likely registered, and over six percent voted in 2008.

The study concluded those votes “likely” changed key elections for Democrats, including Electoral College outcomes and a Senate race that enabled passage of Obamacare.

It also reported that 81.8% of non-citizens who admitted voting in 2008 supported Barack Obama.

Those findings were reinforced by Just Facts, which updated the estimates using 2022 Census data.

They determined that between 10% and 27% of non-citizens nationwide are illegally registered to vote.

With 19.7 million non-citizen adults counted in 2022, that means two to five million names appear illegally on voter rolls.

Given turnout rates, between one million and nearly three million non-citizens could cast ballots in 2024.

That is enough to swing battleground states and determine control of Congress.

The argument that those numbers are “too small” collapses when compared to recent election margins.

In 2020, Biden carried Arizona by just over 10,000 votes. Georgia’s margin was fewer than 12,000.

If even a fraction of the non-citizen votes identified occurred in those states, outcomes could have flipped.

Access is NOT an Election Security Metric…But It’s All They Have

I saw this article yesterday about mail-in voting, and it’s worth sharing an excerpt from My Journal Courier:

“Trump has remained consistent; even before the 2020 election, he warned: ‘“’There is a lot of dishonesty going on with mail-in voting.’ Trump doesn’t need to hedge about voting rules abroad. Poland was the one other country that considered conducting its 2020 presidential election by mail during the pandemic, but even it abandoned the attempt. Countries don’t use the kind of mass mail-in voting now used in eight states – where states automatically send ballots to all registered voters, who then mail them back. That system differs from absentee ballots, which require a request and traditionally demanded a reason, such as being out of town on Election Day.”

I read this after receiving a CEIR email about mail-in voting, with the usual suspects and their usual disinformation.

“As CEIR Executive Director David Becker told CBS News, getting rid of mail-in voting ‘would make our elections much less secure.’ Spreading voting over several days with options like mail-in voting allows additional time to recover from hiccups beyond election officials’ control, like power outages or disinformation. Flexible voting options limit inconvenience and help prevent the disenfranchisement of voters on Election Day.”

They claim that early and mail-in voting is required for secure elections…so that officials can recover from “disinformation” during the election period.

Wait, what?

Unexpected admission…

The single security control for vote by mail is signature verification — and that single control was how they sold it to the people: Don’t worry, we’ll know the ballot actually comes from the eligible voter because we’ll match the signature.

But the same people that push mail-in voting as a sacred right are now arguing in courts that signature verification is a poll tax, suppressive, and must be eliminated. If they accomplish that particular goal, then mail-in ballots would have ZERO security controls.
