Messy New Jersey Voter Rolls Have More Than 32,000 ‘Questionable’ Voter Records, Report Says

Registered New Jersey voters pick a new governor in the Nov. 4 general election, but before that the state really needs to clean up its voter list.

After reviewing New Jersey’s statewide voter roll, a report from the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) shows an “urgent need for improved list maintenance practices,” after identifying more than 32,000 registration issues, many of which could allow people to vote more than once.

PILF found 14,059 duplicate registrations, with voters registered in New Jersey and at least one other state at the same time. But PILF did not look at all 50 states, meaning there are certainly more to be found. PILF identified duplicate registrations in New Jersey and Florida (6,972 cases), New York (5,725), and Pennsylvania (925).

PILF also found 15,655 registrations using fictitious birth dates, which are sometimes used as placeholders — such as New Jersey’s most common placeholder date, 1800-01-01, that is, 225 years ago. The PILF report found 5,166 such birthdates in Essex County, 2,108 in Passaic County, and 1,928 in Middlesex County.

Of the 15,655 registrations with bad birth dates, 85 percent are marked as active voters, the report shows. But PILF says it is an easy fix. The organization took a random sample of 10 such registrations and compared the “New Jersey voter roll, Social Security records, and Experian reports,” and within minutes found the correct birthdates for all 10. PILF found that seven voter registrations were accurate after the proper birth date was added; Social Security records indicated that two registered voters had died more than 20 years ago; and one individual had seemingly relocated to St. Lucie County, Florida, and registered to vote there in 2017.

Failing British PM Starmer and His Labour Party Lower the Voting Age to 16 To Try To Perpetuate Themselves in Power

Highly unpopular British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his train-wreck Labour government are moving to lower the voting age by two years to 16 in all UK elections.

This move will probably ensure an avalanche of youth votes to the leftists, thanks to the school system bias.

Reuters reported:

“’They’re old enough to go out to work, they’re old enough to pay taxes’, Prime Minister Keir Starmer told ITV News. ‘If you pay in, you should have the opportunity to say what you want your money spent on, which way the government should go’.”

This will still require parliamentary approval, but it is expected to pass due to Labour’s large majority.

Starmer’s sinking popularity puts him in second place in the polls behind Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party.

“A poll of 500 16 and 17-year-olds conducted by Merlin Strategy for ITV News showed 33% said they would vote Labour, 20% would vote Reform, 18% would vote Green, 12% Liberal Democrats and 10% Conservative.”

Garland Favorito and VoterGA Appeal Inexplicable Dismissal of Curling vs. Raffensperger Election Ruling

The 8-year-long federal lawsuit seeking to ban voting systems in the State of Georgia that store a voter’s intent on a QR code rather than human-verifiable text ended in April.

Judge Amy Totenberg issued her ruling over a year after the trial concluded, determining that “the Court lacks jurisdiction to consider the merits of Plaintiffs’ claims.”

The Gateway Pundit covered this trial from Day 1 in court, witnessing several egregious manipulations of the voting system demonstrated live and on the record in the courtroom.

University of Michigan computer science professor Dr. J. Alex Halderman successfully hacked the Dominion ICX system in court using a BIC pen in one hack and tools you can purchase on Amazon for several other hacks.

Whoops: David Hogg’s First PAC-Backed Primary Candidate Goes Down in Flames

Tuesday gave us a preview of ex-Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg’s plan to meddle in the party’s primaries to get more young, far-left activists involved.

TL;DR: If early returns are any indication, this wasn’t worth ruining his DNC gig over.

With 77 percent of the vote counted as of Wednesday morning, Adelita Grijalva — the daughter of the Arizona Rep. Raúl Grijalva, whose death sparked the special election — had 62 percent of the vote, according to Associated Press figures.

Deja Foxx, the Gen Z influencer that Hogg’s Leaders We Deserve PAC was backing, was a beyond-distant second with 21 percent of the vote.

Given that Arizona’s 7th Congressional District is as deep blue as they come, the September general election is merely a formality.

“This is a victory not for me, but for our community and the progressive movement my dad started in Southern Arizona more than 50 years ago,” Grijalva said in a statement after the victory.

However, the real takeaway could best be summed up by The Washington Post, which called it “the Mamdani sequel that wasn’t.”

“Foxx, who had appeared to gain a bit of momentum in recent weeks, left some Democrats wondering if she could pull off a surprise win like Mamdani,” the Post noted.

“But the antiestablishment message that Mamdani deployed in New York was harder for Grijalva’s opponents to replicate given her support from many of the same liberal groups and leaders who backed Mamdani, and the fact that she had not held prior federal office.”

Indeed, Foxx’s main qualification came from being a hashtag activist on Instagram, particularly when it came to the right to abort babies; she’d gone viral in her teens for confronting then-Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake and has never given up the spotlight on left-bubble social media.

This was enough to convince Hogg — whose plan to spend $20 million to primary older establishment Democrats in blue seats is suspected by many to be the reason why the DNC chose to oust him on procedural grounds — to back the 25-year-old Foxx in what seemed to be a pilot run.

Auditors Downplay Tens Of Thousands Registered To Vote Without Proof Of Citizenship In Oregon

After revelations that Oregon’s “motor voter” system registered hundreds of possible noncitizens, the state government launched an audit. Auditors found one in 35 voters didn’t have proof of citizenship — then looked the other way.

Oregon officials discovered in September hundreds of potential noncitizens had registered to vote. They examined limited data and eventually found the motor voter system had placed more than 1,600 possible ineligible voters on the rolls. 

State leaders commissioned an audit — which, as Oregon journalist Jeff Eager first reported, found one in 35 voters labeled as “citizens” had no proof of such citizenship in the motor voter system.

The state’s motor voter system reportedly registered 766,756 people total to vote, as of September. The one-in-35 ratio (2.8 percent), applied across the state, suggests the system may have registered more than 21,470 voters without proof of citizenship. 

Instead of flagging this lack of documentation as a massive gap in election integrity, the auditor — Chicago firm Baker Tilly — dismissed it, saying this would probably be too small to decide elections.

“Although the number of potentially ineligible individuals being automatically registered to vote is likely too small to affect the outcome of an election, the existence of such cases poses a moderate reputational and compliance risk,” the audit reads. 

It simply expressed concern the security gap could “undermine public trust in the voter registration process” and bring “increased scrutiny.”

But, as of November 2024, the Oregon DMV already registered 54,600 voters who have not proven citizenship. 

“The thing that got me the most was the consultant opining the error margin likely wouldn’t decide any elections,” Eager said in a direct message on X. He pointed to the state’s May special district elections, in which 25 races were so close they triggered a recount.

The audit, released July 1, noted numerous issues in Oregon’s motor voter system —  the lack of citizenship proof was only the first.

Democrats Collude With Judges To Keep Allowing Noncitizens To Vote In U.S. Elections

Abattle appears to be looming between President Donald Trump and the entire upper echelon of the national Democratic Party over Trump’s election Executive Order (EO) 14248. The order was signed on March 25, 2025, and entitled “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections.” EO 14248 addresses key election integrity deficiencies involving voter eligibility, ballot fraud, foreign interference, and accountability for wrongdoing. It also implements sorely needed mechanisms to assess the accuracy of voter rolls and the security of voting machines.

EO 14248 was immediately challenged by the “Who’s Who?” of the Democrat Party. Nineteen attorneys general filed a complaint in Massachusetts, while four top Democrat Party organizations filed their complaint in Washington, D.C., along with three civic groups. All similarly challenge certain parts of the election EO with only slightly different arguments.

Constitutional Arguments

At issue is the president’s constitutional power regarding elections. The complainants argue that elections are under the exclusive jurisdiction of the states according to a selective reading of Art. I Sec. IV of U.S. Constitution. The plaintiffs fail to acknowledge the second sentence: “but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Place of Chusing [sp.] Senators.”

Thus, Congress, not the states, has ultimate jurisdiction over federal elections. That clause birthed the National Voting Rights Act (1965), the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA, 1993) and the Help America Vote Act (HAVA, 2002). Despite the clear, plain text of the U.S. Constitution, the attorneys general boldly state twice in their brief that their states will not adhere to those laws because: “Plaintiff States intend to administer federal elections according to State laws …”

Article II, Section II explains the general power of the president in providing: “… he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed …” Thus, the president has unquestioned authority to order that the Executive Branch take any steps necessary to ensure federal and state laws regarding any matter is upheld. That is precisely what EO 14248 does. The EO contains nine key sections, each of which issues Executive Branch orders, carefully crafted with references to federal laws, that the orders help to enforce for United States elections.

Proof of Citizenship

The complaints against the EO allege only theoretical harm since EO 14248 has never actually harmed anyone. With merely speculative claims about the future, the plaintiffs cannot truly meet the legal requirements of a cognizable, particularized injury necessary to establish the proper standing to bring a claim. Nevertheless, Washington, D.C. Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly issued a temporary injunction on two provisions involving proof of citizenship. Immediately, several media assets reported that a judge blocked the entire order even though the injunction was temporary and involved only two of roughly 40 total provisions in the order.

The judicial decision temporarily enjoins the president from ordering federal agencies to assess citizenship prior to providing the Federal Voter Registration Form to enrollees of public assistance programs. It also enjoined the president from ordering the Election Assistance Commission (EAC), to amend the National Mail Voter Registration form to include proof of citizenship. Thus, the form can temporarily continue to be used to register potential voters who attest to being citizens of the United States whether they are citizens or not.

This  decision does not square well with federal law which states: “It shall be unlawful for any alien to vote in any [federal] election …” 18 U.S.Code § 611(a) and that: “Whoever knowingly makes any false statement or claim that he is a citizen of the United States in order to register to vote or to vote in any Federal, State, or local election … Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned…” 18 U.S. Code § 1015(f).

The executive order simply requires federal agencies to enhance their procedures to enforce federal law pursuant to the president’s constitutional power. To help justify this rather overreaching decision, Judge Kollar-Kotelly stated:  “As a consequence, the Democratic Party Plaintiffs and the members they represent face nationwide irreparable harms that this court must remedy.” In other words, Democrats are greatly harmed if they must abide by the law and cannot continue to try and register individuals who are not qualified to vote.

What A Mess In Georgia, Will National GOP Leadership Do The Right Thing? Or Overlook The Stink Of Corruption As 2026 Approaches

Many of us in the grassroots have been shocked at the behavior of GOP officials across the nation. It’s almost as if the GOP leadership doesn’t give a damn about Americans who want to participate in the political process.

In Miami-Dade for instance, we witnessed county GOP officials acting in a tyrannical manner, refusing to allow participation of those with the ‘wrong opinions’ in the selection of leadership. This resulted in many leaving the party in disgust and frustration as we have documented extensively at The Miami Independent.

In fact, it has happened all across Florida as the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) did nothing as Republican Executive Committees (REC) around the state literally had individuals removed from leadership, or saw the entire REC cancelled for being MAGA and pro-Trump.

The behavior of the RPOF stinks to high heaven.

Guess what, the GOP stinks like a pogie plant in Georgia too!

The GA GOP convention in Dalton was the most recent example.

We have documented extensively here at The Georgia Record the tyrannical behavior of the Josh McKoon faction at the convention, where the grassroots are supposed to be given access to the mechanisms of power and the people’s voice is supposed to be heard.

Globalist Denmark Wants to Deploy ‘Nuclear Option’ to Remove Conservative Hungary’s Voting Rights in the European Union

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is the man that the Brussels Globalist establishment ‘loves to hate’.

And the sentiment is mutual: he has been very clear in his criticism of the EU, as we have reported in Hungary’s Orbán Calls the European Union a ‘Bad Contemporary Parody’ of the Soviet Union.

Orbán is under constant pressure from Brussels for rejecting its suicidal Globalist policies, as we have written about in EPIC Hungary’s Orbán on EU ‘Blackmail’: ‘There Is Not Enough Money in the World To Force Us To Accept Mass Migration and To Put Our Children in the Hands of LGBTQ Activists’.

So, as soon as the Globalist Kingdom of Denmark took over the rotating presidency of the EU, they started rapidly moving towards deploying the bloc’s legal arsenal against Budapest over what they call ‘violations of EU’s fundamental rights’ (a.k.a. not bowing to the Globalist mandates).

The actions they intend to take include pursuing the ‘Nuclear option’: the Article 7.

Politico reports:

“’We are still seeing a violation on fundamental values’, Danish European Affairs Minister Marie Bjerre told reporters in Aarhus, where the European Commission is on a visit as Copenhagen takes over the rotating presidency of the Council of the EU. ‘That is why we will continue the Article 7 procedure and the hearing on Hungary’.”

Arizona Voters Will Decide on Designating Drug Cartels Terrorist Organizations

Arizona voters will decide in November on whether or not to designate drug cartels operating at the U.S. Southern border with Mexico as terrorists.

The vote will come after the Arizona state senate failed to pass a measure last year due to a slim Republican majority, per The Hill.

“Arizona is on the frontlines of a war that Washington ignored until President Trump took action. This resolution gives the Trump Administration another tool to defend our state, uphold the rule of law, and protect innocent lives,” state Rep. Steve Montenegro (R) said in a press release.

The resolution comes after the Trump administration added eight drug cartels to its list of terrorist organizations despite pushback from the Mexican government.

“Groups on the list are subject to financial sanctions, and their members cannot legally enter the United States. It is also illegal to give material support to a foreign terrorist organization,” noted The Hill.

“The Arizona ballot initiative would also direct the state Department of Homeland Security to ‘do everything within its authority to address the threat posed by drug cartels,’” it added.
