Gestapo Tactics: German State Starts Banning AfD Candidates from Running for Office Because They Might Win

While the aging dictator of Nicaragua Daniel Ortega this week announced he was suspending elections indefinitely, Europe seems to be on a similar path – as Victor Orban’s Hungarian Fidesz Party was raided Wednesday and had their servers confiscated, and Romanian Presidential elections were anulled 2024. Now, Germany seems to have discovered a new strategy – as legacy parties are simply excluding candidates from the patriotic AfD party from elections.

Local elections are set to take place in the state of Lower Saxony, home of Volkswagen and surrounding the Free City of Hamburg, on Sept. 13, where the Alternative for Germany party is currently polling at about 20% behind Christian Democrats and Social Democrats at about 25% each. Nationally, the AfD is currently the strongest party in the polls at about 29%, and may even win a majority in the East German states of Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, which elect new state parliaments and state governments in September.

So the failing legacy parties are resorting to ever more repressive measures. Along with the ever-present threat of Antifa violence, debanking, and media slander, efforts have been underway to ban the largest opposition party outright. Since the German secret political police have not been able to prove the AfD is a danger to democracy in court, these efforts by the ruling Social Democrats seem doomed to fail.

Republicans Accuse California’s Democrat Attorney General Rob Bonta of “Rigging” Election After Sneaky Change Made to Voter ID Ballot Initiative

Republicans are accusing California’s Democrat Attorney General Rob Bonta of “rigging” the 2026 election voter ID ballot initiative after he made a sneaky change to the measure’s wording.

Proposition 39 made its way to California’s 2026 ballot, which would require voters to prove citizenship when registering to vote.

When grassroots organizers were gathering signatures last year, Rob Bonta issued a title and bullet points to describe the initiative.

However, with just months to go until the November election, Bonta made radical changes to the ballot initiative’s title and wording in an effort to destroy the measure.

Republican California Assemblyman and chairman of Reform California, Carl DeMaio, said the title change could sway voters.

“The ballot title is being manipulated to try to encourage people to vote no, to scare voters away. They’re trying to falsely claim that citizens would be prohibited from voting,” Carl DeMaio said on Wednesday.

“It is so illegitimate. It is so corrupt. It is so dishonest what this attorney general has decided to do, because he does not support this initiative,” DeMaio said.

Biden-Appointed Judge Blocks Trump’s New Verification System to Remove Foreign Nationals from Voter Rolls

A federal judge, appointed by President Joe Biden, has blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from using an updated verification system, known as the SAVE program, to remove foreign nationals from state voter rolls.

On Monday, Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, appointed to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia by Biden, issued an order to prevent the Trump administration from using a streamlined version of the federal government’s SAVE program to combat voter fraud.

The update to SAVE allowed states to more quickly verify that only American citizens are voting in federal elections by no longer requiring that all nine digits of a voter registrant’s Social Security Number have to be entered to verify eligibility.

“This case implicates two fundamental rights that protect Americans from government overreach: the right to privacy and the right to vote,” Sooknanan, an immigrant from Trinidad and Tobago, wrote:

In the past year, several federal agencies have joined forces to create a centralized federal database that contains the private information of United States citizens, including Social Security numbers, citizenship status, and other sensitive data. [Emphasis added]

But decades ago, Congress put protections in place to prevent precisely this type of centralized data bank. And the record in this case shows that the federal agencies that created this database knew that the database violates those statutory protections. The agencies were scrambling to comply with an Executive Order aimed at reshaping federal elections, which directed them to create a system for mass voter verification. So they haphazardly combined and repurposed the private information of millions of Americans, including citizenship data that they knew to be unreliable. Since then, states have partnered with the federal government to access the database and are actively removing United States citizens from voter rolls based on inaccurate information. All in all, the federal government has knowingly trampled on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote. This Court cannot stand idly by while that happens. [Emphasis added]

A U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) spokesman previously told Breitbart News that the updated SAVE program was necessary to ensure “America’s elections are reserved exclusively for American citizens.”

New Jersey Joined ERIC System that DOES NOT Report If Person Is a Non-Citizen – Then Illegals Started Voting – 24 States Are NOT Using SAVE System To Verify Illegal Alien Voters!

The recent news of illegal aliens registering in mass in NJ, and then voting, is not a surprise and is almost expected.

New Jersey is one of many States that DO NOT use the free Federal SAVE system to check for illegal aliens in their voter registrations or existing voter rolls.

SAVE is an online service administered by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that provides immigration status and U.S. citizenship information. SAVE only returns verification information. The decision to register or remove a voter remains with state or local election officials.

As of June 30th, there are 26 states using SAVE for voter-registration or voter-list-maintenance purposes. It processed 198 million cases in 2025.

The remaining 24 states have no public info that their election authority uses SAVE. Most of these 24 states are left-leaning.

New Jersey joined the non-profit ERIC in August of 2022 to help clean their voter rolls. Secretary of State Tahesha Way said, “ERIC is a powerful step to strengthen New Jersey’s elections by increasing our ability to support eligible voters while also improving the accuracy of our voting rolls.”

Obviously, this isn’t working.

Trump Admin Wins HUGE Court Battle Over Mail-In Ballot Rule that Requires States Submit Voter Lists and Ballot Barcodes Before Postal Service Will Deliver Federal Ballots

Here is some good news out of the courts.

The Daily Signal is reporting that the Trump administration and the US Postal Service have won a key court fight over mail-in ballot oversight.

For years, Republicans have been demanding answers on how mail-in ballots are handled, tracked, and counted in this country. And for years, the DC establishment and the failed mainstream media told us there was nothing to see here.

Now, a court has handed the Trump administration and the USPS a victory on ballot oversight. This is horrible news for Democrats, who continue to obstruct and block any move by President Trump to secure our elections. Why is that?

The ruling says that states must submit their mail-voter lists at least , and every ballot envelope must carry a uniquely serialized barcode so each ballot is tracked outbound and returned.

Postmaster General David Steiner was asked point-blank whether USPS would carry a state’s ballots without the list: “ , .”

M.A. Rothman reported on this latest ruling.

Jake Tapper on Discovery of Thousands of Non-Citizen Voters in New Jersey: ‘This is Not Good for Democrats’

As the Gateway Pundit reported earlier today, thousands of non-citizen voters were discovered in New Jersey, allegedly due to a software error.

This is one of those problems that Democrats assure us never happens. It’s one of the main reasons that conservatives want congress to pass the SAVE America Act.

Over on CNN, Jake Tapper responded to the news today by saying that this is ‘not good news for Democrats.’

How about the country, Jake?

This is a window into the minds of people in our media. Note that this is Jake Tapper’s first thought. His first concern is what is or is not good news for Democrats, because that’s who Jake cares about most.

Communist Tyrant Daniel Ortega Announces There Will Be No More Elections in Nicaragua

Communist tyrant Daniel Ortega announced this weekend that there will no longer be national elections in Nicaragua.

Ortega has been in power since 2007.

Daniel Ortega: “There will be no more elections here so that they [the opposition] can try to seize the government and seize power.” He added that “never again” would parties backed by the United States or “Somocistas” return to power.”

The pro-Cuban communist made the announcement during an official speech in Managua commemorating the 47th anniversary of the 1979 Sandinista Revolution, that is traditionally observed on July 19th.

Ortega has jailed many of the potential rival candidates. US Democrats are following in his footsteps as they continue to persecute Trump and his supporters including supporters in the media.

According to Grok, this announcement effectively cancels or rules out Nicaragua’s next scheduled general elections (originally set for November 2027, after earlier term extensions). It represents a further consolidation of power by Ortega (in office continuously since 2007) and his wife, Rosario Murillo (co-president).

DOJ Opens Investigation Into ERIC State New Jersey Over 6,600 Illegal Alien Voter Registration Discrepancy

Earlier today, The Gateway Pundit reported that the governor of New Jersey announced a “serious software error” with the New Jersey Motor Vehicle System that led to the registration of almost 7,000 people “who indicated that they were not U.S. citizens” from June 2023 through June 2024 under the previous administration.

Governor Mikie Sherrill announced that the matter was under investigation and that “fewer than 400 individuals who were newly registered” voted.

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon of the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, however, also announced a federal investigation.  In a letter posted to her official X account, AAG Dhillon wrote:

Earlier today you represented that approximately 6,600 people who self-identified as noncitizens between June 2023 and June 2024 were nevertheless registered to vote in New Jersey.  Indeed, approximately 400 of those individuals voted.

Ensuring that U.S. citizens’ votes are not illegally diluted by noncitizens’ votes is of paramount importance.  We therefore write to formally request additional information to asses New Jersey’s compliance with various federal statutes, as provided in our July 7, 2026, letter to the Lieutenant Governor.

Democrat Senator Mark Warner Gets Fact-Checked on Virginia Voter ID Laws on Live TV

Democrat Senator Mark Warner got fact-checked on live TV about voter ID amid a debate over President Trump’s push for the Senate to pass the SAVE America Act.

President Trump on Thursday evening delivered a primetime address to the nation about foreign election interference.

The president revealed:

– The DHS found approximately 278,000 non-citizens on the voter rolls

– China accessed 220 million US voter files and the Deep State withheld that information from Trump

– China targeted President Trump during the 2020 election by paying media outlets to write negative stories about him

At the end of his speech, President Trump urged Americans to call their representatives and demand that they pass the SAVE America Act.

The US must secure its elections. It is a matter of national security.

“To all Americans, I ask you to pick up your phone tomorrow, call your representatives and the House and Senate, and demand that they pass the SAVE America Act without delay,” President Trump said.

Mark Warner got called out about his voter ID lies during an appearance on ABC’s “This Week.”

“You and every other Democrat oppose the SAVE America Act… requiring photo ID to register to vote, is this Democrats should get behind?” Jon Karl asked Mark Warner.

“In Virginia, we have voter ID and photo ID!” Mark Warner said.

This is a lie.

Virginia currently allows voters to present non-photo identification, such as copies of utilities and bank statements, as an accepted form of ID.

Virginia voters can also sign an ID statement affirming their identity.

Jon Karl fact-checked Mark Warner.

“That’s actually not the case. I’m a Virginia voter. You don’t need to show a photo ID in Virginia,” Jon Karl said, adding, “And if you don’t show one of those you can sign an affidavit…”

Hawaiʻi Supreme Court Orders Office of Elections to Answer Petition Over Refusal to Support Elections Commission

The Hawaiʻi Supreme Court has ordered the State Office of Elections to respond, by Friday, July 24, 2026, to a petition alleging the agency unlawfully refused to provide administrative support to the Hawaiʻi Elections Commission — support the Commission needed to convene a meeting and elect a chairperson.

The July 17, 2026, order, issued in Cushnie & McKay v. Nago (SCPW-26-0000498), directs Respondents Scott T. Nago, Chief Election Officer, and the Office of Elections to address two questions:

  1. Whether the Office of Elections failed or refused to provide staff support to the Elections Commission as required under Hawaiʻi Revised Statutes § 11-1.5(b); and
  2. Whether that failure prevented the Elections Commission from meeting to elect a chairperson.

The order was signed by Acting Chief Justice Sabrina S. McKenna, Justices Todd W. Eddins and Lisa M. Ginoza, and Circuit Judges Peter T. Cahill and Dyan M. Medeiros, sitting by assignment.

Background

Petitioners Ralph S. Cushnie and Tamara McKay, Commissioners of the Hawaiʻi Elections Commission representing Kauaʻi and Maui counties respectively, filed an emergency petition for writ of mandamus on July 8, 2026. The petition states that the Commission — which has lacked a chairperson since June 30, 2026 — could not lawfully notice or convene a meeting because the Office of Elections declined to provide basic administrative support, including a remote-meeting link and distribution of meeting notices, despite HRS § 11-1.5(b)’s requirement that the Office “shall provide staff support to the elections commission, as requested by the elections commission.”

The petition further states that the Department of Accounting and General Services confirmed in writing that the statutory support obligation rests with the Office of Elections, and that the Department of the Attorney General is not authorized to convene Commission meetings on the agency’s behalf.

What Happens Next

Under the Court’s order, Respondents must file their answer by July 24, 2026. Petitioners may then file a reply of no more than ten pages by July 29, 2026.
