DOJ Announces Charges Against Utah Postal Worker For Trashing More Than 300 Mail-In Ballots

The Justice Department on Tuesday announced a postal worker was indicted for discarding more than 300 mail-in ballots in a dumpster.

A grand jury indicted 34-year-old Damon Matai Seei on September 16 on one count of Unlawful Secretion, Destruction, and Delay of Mail.

Seei was arraigned at a federal courthouse in Utah on Tuesday afternoon.

“[On] June 3, 2026, SEEI threw away some of the mail, which he had been entrusted to deliver, into a dumpster in a church parking lot. He later admitted in an interview that he threw away the mail because he wanted to “lighten his workload” so he could presumably go home earlier,” the Justice Department’s detention memo read.

“When American voters lawfully cast their vote, they should feel confident that it is counted,” said Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter.

He continued, “Allegedly throwing away hundreds of ballots is a serious federal crime that undermines the integrity of our elections. Ballot integrity is not a partisan issue.”

Michigan County Clerk: “9 out of 10 voter registrations” received by clerks in my County Are Fraudulent—One Clerk Received 47 for ONE Person!

Macomb County, Michigan, with its heavy blue-collar population, was responsible for President Trump winning the swing state in 2016. Macomb County’s blue-collar vote helped put Michigan — and the presidency — in Donald Trump’s column in 2016. After the state was handed to Joe Biden in November 2020, that same county forged some of Michigan’s most relentless election-integrity fighters.

Fast forward ten years to 2026, and Macomb County Clerk Anthony Forlini is on the ballot as the Republican candidate for Secretary of State, replacing the nation’s most corrupt Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson. For the first time since Michigan Republican Senator Ruth Johnson held the office, Michigan has a real chance at cleaning up its voter rolls.

Anthony Forlini is not an in-your-face type candidate; however, he is quietly proving to Michigan voters that he’s serious about removing non-citizens, dead voters, fake registrations, and duplicate voters from its voter rolls.

Virginia Democrat Shannon Taylor Has Long History of Soft-On-Crime Advocacy

Shannon Taylor, the Democrat nominee in Virginia’s 1st Congressional District, said in newly unearthed clips she embraces the far left’s open-border, pro-criminal illegal alien agenda, campaigning with a Democrat who smeared Border Patrol as “White Nationalists” and advocating for Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien from El Salvador and an MS-13 gang member with a history of violence.

On video Taylor, the Henrico County Commonwealth Attorney fearmongered about Border Patrol agents “running down the hallway of public schools” and denigrated ICE agents who apprehended an illegal alien outside of a courthouse.

In April 2025, Taylor furiously described a case of ICE removing an illegal alien from a Virginia community and said she wants the incident investigated:

It was just 24 hours ago that we saw two, one masked gentleman and another gentle — I shouldn’t use the term gentleman, but two men who came into the Albemarle Court House without any identification… literally coming in and going hands on a young man who had just had his case dismissed…

A month earlier, Taylor spread lies about Border Patrol agents “running down the hallway” of public schools:

It’s the attorney general… that’s going to make the difference… whether that you all have children or grandchildren in public schools and they are in their classes learning, whether or not border patrol agents will be running down the hallway while they’re trying to learn or not.

Taylor has even camapigned alongside Texas Democrat Congressional candidate Bobby Pulido who smeared Border Patrol agents as “White Nationalists,” said border security is motivated by racism, and has maintained a “longstanding” relationship with Mexican drug cartel operative Julión Álvarez who was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department in 2017 for laundering money for drug traffickers.

Virginia Democrats, including Taylor, continue to pursue extreme sanctuary polices that continues to put Virginians in danger.

Just last week, police arrested Alexis Antonio Cedillos-Campos, a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador who crossed the southern border illegally in April 2024 under the Biden administration in connection with the brutal stabbing death of a 42-year-old mother near a park in Fairfax County.

In the same week, Abdulloi Toshpulodzoda, who admitted to fatally stabbing his roommate, was able to obtain a foreign passport, receive a 48-hour pass from a state mental hospital, stay at an apartment paid for by taxpayers, and then buy a one-way ticket to his home country of Tajikistan.

Taylor also has a record of lax plea deals for criminals and a DEI agenda that saw her fire prosecutors based on the color of their skin on her first day in office.

She also signed on to a 2021 letter that read in part, “tough on crime policies” have been an “anathema to justice,” and she has backed a laundry list of policies that would make it easier for violent criminals to avoid consequences.

“Shannon Taylor’s brain must have been broken by the woke mind virus because no one in Virginia wants criminal illegal aliens and violent repeat offenders given lax deals and released back onto the streets. Extreme Democrats have turned Virginia into a pro-criminal violent hellscape, and nut jobs like Taylor are to blame,” said RNC Spokeswoman Emma Hall.

Stacey Abrams Tours CT— That Is The Tell Connecticut’s Elections Are Suspect

When Stacey Abrams shows up in your state to lecture you about election integrity, you should ask yourself one question — why her?

Abrams has spent years positioning herself as the national standard-bearer for “voting rights” — a cause she adopted after refusing to concede her 2018 Georgia governor’s race. But The Georgia Record (a CDM outlet) has documented her fingerprints on one of the most troubled election cycles in modern American history: the 2020 Georgia election, where a temp staffing firm called Happy Faces Personnel — tied directly to Abrams — was credibly accused of criminal behavior at polling locations in Fulton County.

Eyewitness accounts published by The Georgia Record described probable criminal behavior by Happy Faces temp employees during the 2020 Georgia election cycle. The firm had been financed with Abrams-linked money and was later the subject of fierce local opposition when Fulton County Commissioners voted to renew its contract. North Fulton County jurisdictions were so alarmed they sought to break away and run their own elections rather than tolerate Happy Faces for another cycle.

None of that history followed Abrams to Hartford last weekend.

DOJ Crackdown on Illegal Alien Voting Picks Up Steam with Charges Announced in Seven States

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has put illegal voters on notice with the 2026 midterms only weeks away, announcing charges against 16 people in multiple states for election crimes that include noncitizens casting ballots.

As one DOJ official put it, “American elections are for Americans.”

The charges, which include illegal voting, illegal voter registration, wire fraud, passport and identity fraud, and even firearm offenses were detailed in a lengthy DOJ release Friday.

It was followed by a warning on social media, with the DOJ writing, “If you are not allowed to vote in our elections, you shouldn’t. And if you do, that’s a CRIME. This isn’t a partisan issue!”

In addition to these charges, U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche stepped up to a White House lectern on Tuesday and announced charges against 11 individuals for illegally voting or fraudulently registering in the 2022 and 2024 elections.

“We are seeing illegal aliens voting,” Blanche told reporters.

According to the DOJ release, eight noncitizens residing in Texas were charged, while the other cases involved defendants in Idaho, Georgia, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, New Jersey, and Michigan.

The cases are part of a Trump administration crackdown on threats to the integrity of the U.S. election system.

The examples in the DOJ statement were striking.

According to a Fox News summary:

In Georgia, DOJ said Analiea Milliscent Eccles, a Venezuelan national and DACA recipient, voted nine times between 2008 and 2024. She was charged with voting as a noncitizen and falsely claiming U.S. citizenship to vote.

Avila Gomez, a Mexican national residing in Idaho, is accused of falsely claiming U.S. citizenship to register to vote and then voting in May 2022 and November 2024. The indictment also includes wire fraud, passport, identification-document and firearm-related charges.

California Governor Gavin Newsom Signs Bills Making it a FELONY to ‘Seize’ Ballots Before Crooked State Officials ‘Certify’ Elections – U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli Responds

California Governor Gavin Newsom has officially decided to go to war with the Trump Administration after signing legislation that would likely enable even more widespread voter fraud.

Newsom announced on Saturday that he had just signed multiple laws that would, in his words ‘stop Trump’s attacks on vote by mail” by making the seizure of ballots a felony before state officials certify the elections.

“I just signed new laws protecting your ballot and STOPPING Trump’s attacks on vote-by-mail — making it a felony to seize ballots or interfere with our elections,” Newsom bragged on X.

“Trump can try all he wants. California WILL protect your right to vote!”

“Donald Trump won’t stop until he can exert dictatorial control over your free vote and disenfranchise millions of people this November. California will stop him at every opportunity,” Newsom said in a separate statement.

” We have no bigger task than fighting to protect the right to vote from interference and meddling — the future of democracy is on the line.”

New Jersey’s Dirty Voter Rolls Are Just The Tip Of The Iceberg — And Democrats Are Covering It Up

New Jersey’s non-citizens on the voter rolls scandal is not a glitch. It is a window into a complete breakdown in a system of election integrity and Congress is finally looking through it.

This week, the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Constitution held a hearing, “Restoring Election Integrity: Oversight of Voter Fraud in New Jersey.” According to information gathered by Republican investigators in the Garden State, in 2023 and 2024 alone, at least 6,600 non-citizens were placed on the state’s voter rolls. Hundreds of them even went on to cast ballots in various elections. Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill finally admitted the huge problem after she was forced into making the confession by the GOP investigators and a formal warning letter from DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin.

Then she stonewalled the Department of Justice.

“‘Coverup’ is the polite way to say, in political terms, you don’t want this to come to light,” Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-NJ, said of Gov. Sherrill and her administration in relation to the allegations of a coverup.

As the House Judiciary subcommittee continued to dig through the voter fraud scandal in New Jersey, experts on election integrity testified that what happened in the Garden State is likely to have happened in other states, on dates other than those cited by Governor Sherrill. Jason Sena, an election law attorney from New Jersey, noted that non-citizens had registered to vote in the state before and after the so-called ‘glitch’ in software that Governor Sherrill said caused the problem, through means having nothing to do with the Motor Vehicle Commission. Josh Findlay, a research analyst with the America First Policy Institute, concurred with Sena, adding, “New Jersey may be just the tip of the iceberg.”

“Dead To Rights”: Internal ActBlue Records Show Foreign-Flagged Donations Waved Through, Whistleblower Messages Deleted

For years, the left has lectured Americans about the dangers of “foreign interference” and dark money in our elections. But a sweeping congressional investigation has laid bare a vast Democratic fundraising apparatus that paved the way for just that: ActBlue, the billion-dollar financial engine of the Democratic Party, created a mechanism that encouraged illicit foreign cash – and then, investigators say, covered it up. Read on.

On Wednesday, House investigators released “Part III” of their bombshell investigation into ActBlue’s fundraising practices. The findings outline a staggering pattern of willful blindness, internal censorship, and a frantic race by executives to plead the Fifth.

Here is how the Democrats’ top fundraising platform built a system that welcomed very questionable cash, and how their own staff tried to bury the evidence.

Step 1: The “Smurfing” Machine

The scandal was officially brought to light in April 2025, when the House GOP released Part I of its staff report. Lawmakers detailed a structural nightmare: ActBlue had intentionally bypassed standard banking security measures, such as requiring CVV verification codes for credit card donations.

That gap is what made “smurfing” plausible – a money-laundering technique in which a large, illegal contribution is chopped into thousands of small donations, each attributed to a real person who, allegedly, never made it. The prepaid cards obscure where the money came from; the borrowed names make it look like a stream of legal small-dollar gifts from ordinary Americans. The donations themselves aren’t hidden – as a conduit, ActBlue itemizes every one in its FEC filings regardless of size, which is how the donor lists cited below were compiled. The question is whether anyone at ActBlue was checking whose names were being used.

The allegation itself predates the House probe. It surfaced in March 2023, when James O’Keefe’s O’Keefe Media Group – working from FEC-record analysis compiled by Peter Bernegger’s Election Watch – published videos of elderly donors listed in federal filings for thousands of small ActBlue contributions far beyond anything they said they’d given. Sen. Ron Johnson wrote the FEC in April 2023; Chairman Steil’s committee ran its own analysis of FEC records and in September 2024 referred its findings to five state attorneys general, citing anomalous donor profiles consistent with unwitting “straw donors”; President Trump’s April 2025 memorandum directed DOJ to investigate “straw” and “dummy” donations. ActBlue calls the inquiry politically motivated. The House reports don’t settle it. What they document is that ActBlue’s own records show at least 22 significant fraud campaigns, account takeovers used to make straw donations that appeared to come from regular donors, and 237 prepaid-card donations from foreign IP addresses in a single month before the 2024 election – and that when investigators asked former Associate General Counsel Aaron Ting under oath whether smurfing is prevalent on ActBlue, he took the Fifth.

Step 2: The Cover-Up and the Fifth Amendment

When ActBlue’s own legal and compliance teams realized the potential scale of illicit foreign donations flowing through the platform, panic set in. But instead of correcting the record with Congress, as its own lawyers advised, the execs allegedly moved to suppress the findings, as outlined in the committee’s Part II report.

Internal records show what happened to the last lawyer who escalated the foreign-donation problem. After the 2024 election, ActBlue’s outside counsel had warned the company in two memoranda that its screening of overseas contributions lacked the rigor it had described to Congress, and that its November 2023 letter to Chairman Steil may have been false or misleading. On February 25, 2025 – his first full day running the legal department – legal counsel Zain Ahmad put those memoranda in front of ActBlue’s board of directors and executive team.

The silencing began the next day. He was locked out of his email and Google Drive, against ActBlue’s own leave policy. When he objected in a 277-person IT channel – calling it retaliation and citing the company’s whistleblower and anti-retaliation policies – IT director Hanna Bonin deleted the messages as fast as he posted them: his request to restore access, his policy citations, the policies themselves, and finally his plea to “stop deleting my requests,” which vanished five seconds after it went up. Six deletions in one night. An HR staffer told the chief people officer it “look[ed] like blatant retaliation.” When his email came back the next day, HR was discussing how to “key in on him” using the company’s security tools.

‘Coercion’: Ballot harvesting concerns in nursing homes spur new push to protect vulnerable seniors

As the Trump administration seeks to crack down on potential voter fraud in nursing homes, an election watchdog group is providing additional information to long-term care facilities, citing several past criminal cases involving political operatives and staff who took advantage of vulnerable elderly residents.

A Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services memo from late July cited two major cases in recent years, one out of Texas and another out of Wisconsin, involving elderly people being exploited in long-term care facilities for collecting votes.

The memo says facilities have a “responsibility to preserve residents’ rights to vote and to promote participation in the democratic process.” But says, “this activity should not violate federal or state voting laws.” And that staff “cannot engage in inappropriate coercion or other violations of residents’ rights.”

“Residents who require assistance to vote should have the option of receiving assistance from the person of their choosing and should be offered the option of receiving assistance from their authorized representative,” the CMS memo says.

The Election Integrity Network released a toolkit for instructing senior facilities on how to comply with the CMS guidance.

Among other things, the toolkit suggests facilities or caregivers avoid assumptions and ensure a resident expresses interest in voting; refer that interest promptly to a designated voting coordinator; and protect the resident’s choice and ensure there is no pressure to vote for or against a candidate.

Magan McCreary previously worked at nursing homes and other long-term care facilities in Texas, Connecticut, and Rhode Island before becoming an executive assistant at the Election Integrity Network. She was surprised at what she saw.

“I’ve seen coercion from state volunteers saying ‘this is how I would vote.’ I didn’t stay at a facility after I saw social workers filling out ballots,” McCreary told the Daily Signal. “There is a lack of education about the vulnerability, and too many see it as less of a civic duty and more of something to cross off the activity box. There is a breakdown in the training.”

Concerns about election integrity, voter intimidation or undue influence in nursing homes long predate the Trump administration.

‘Shady’: Watch Dem activist admitting to ’roundabout way of paying people for their votes’

In a stunning development that does nothing to support the Democrats’ wild claims that election fraud is so rare as to be nonexistent, an official with a political action committee linked to Democrat socialist Texas Senate candidate James Talarico has admitted to “essentially” paying people for votes.

“It’s a roundabout way of paying people for their votes, essentially,” explained Sky McAdams, an “organizing manager” for Texas Majority PAC, on an undercover video.

The video, obtained by Townhall Media, explains the program offers voters $25 to attend a one-hour “class.”

“We are paying people $25 … a roundabout way of paying people for their votes,” explains McAdams.

It’s part of a scheme to elect Talarico to the U.S. Senate.

In the video, McAdams says it’s called a “paid relational program,” which is operated by Relentless that uses software called Rally. In a campaign finance report filed in July, Texas Majority PAC said it paid Relentless $500,000 for a “relational organizing program,” or about 20 percent of all its expenditures up to that point. At $25 per vote, that could be good for 20,000 ballots.
