Colorado Secretary of State posted spreadsheet with voting system passwords

The Colorado Secretary of State’s Office inadvertently posted a spreadsheet to its website with a hidden tab that included voting system passwords.

In a statement to 9NEWS, a spokesperson for the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office said that “the Department is working to remedy this situation where necessary.”

“The Department took immediate action as soon as it was aware of this and informed the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which closely monitors and protects the county’s essential security infrastructure,” the spokesperson said.

On Tuesday morning, Colorado Republican Party Vice Chair Hope Scheppelman shared the hidden tab discovery in a mass email, along with an affidavit from someone who claims they had downloaded the Excel file from the Colorado Secretary of State’s website and discovered the hidden tab by simply clicking “unhide.” The name on the affidavit was blacked out in the Republican Party email.

9NEWS left a voicemail with Scheppelman on Tuesday afternoon.

The passwords that were in the hidden tab are known as BIOS passwords and are one part of the security process for Colorado’s voting machines.

They are passwords needed to configure system settings.

Study finds that when Latinos hear ‘Latinx,’ they switch their votes to Trump

It’s not exactly a secret that Latinos can’t stand the word ‘Latinx,’ let alone getting called that by politically correct leftists.

Lefties have tried to make them swallow it, and some have tried to sweeten it, with ‘Latine,’ which sounds like a toilet, but to no avail.

A couple of researchers at Harvard and Georgetown decided to study this matter, and got an eye-popping result.

According to Amanda Sahar d’Urso and Marcel F. Roman:

Using several datasets, we find: Latinos are less likely to support politicians who use “Latinx” (Studies 1, 7); Latinos who oppose “Latinx” are less likely to support politicians who used or are associated with “Latinx” (Studies 2-5); Latinos in areas where “Latinx” is more salient are more likely to switch their vote toward Trump between 2016-2020 (Study 6). Consistent with our theory, these statistical patterns are driven by Republican, conservative, and anti-LGBTQ+ Latinos. Our findings have implications for politicians using identity-based appeals.

Well.

Being lefties themselves, they recommend comradely re-education of Latinos to force them to accept all this gender-inclusive language they’re having foisted upon them.

Are Intelligence Agencies Planning to Make Voters Obsolete?

Here’s something for you to contemplate as you consider concerns about election integrity: Do the algorithms that Andrew Paquette, Ph.D., has found surreptitiously embedded in current state board of election voter rolls suggest intelligence agents have decided to bypass voters to vote election simulations?

As documented on GodsFiveStones.com, Paquette has found secret algorithms in the board of election voter registration databases in New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Hawaii, and Texas, with ongoing examinations underway in Arizona and Georgia.

The algorithms appear designed to hide critical voter attribute information, allowing the people who developed the scheme to create and hide “non-existent voters” capable of being assigned legitimate state voter IDs. Once created, the algorithms can vote certifiable mail-in ballots for enough “non-existent voters” to steal an election from an opponent who won through legitimate votes.

North Carolina Appeals Court Rejects GOP Challenge – Will Allow Voters Who Never Lived in the US to Vote in the State, Rejects Request to Set Aside UOCAVA Votes

A three-member appeals court rejected the GOP challenge to not process certain UOCAVA or overseas votes that come into the state this year.

Republicans argued that the current laws enable voters to forum shop where they want their vote to be counted despite never living in the state or even in the US.

This is the latest ruling that breaks down the integrity of the US election. Democrats will cheer this news.

The Hill reported:

North Carolina appeals court on Tuesday rebuffed the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) request to not process certain overseas ballots in the upcoming election unless the voter shows they were previously a resident of the key battleground state.

Republicans have filed challenges to overseas ballots in several key swing states as the voting bloc is no longer seen as reliably red, but the lawsuits have so far been rejected.

A three-judge panel of the North Carolina Court of Appeals on Tuesday unanimously rejected the RNC’s appeal after a trial judge refused the party’s request for an intervention ahead of the upcoming presidential election…

…North Carolina’s rules enable citizens who have never lived in the United States to vote in the state, as long as they haven’t registered elsewhere and their parent or legal guardian was previously an eligible North Carolina voter.

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier – Democrats have devised a brilliant plan to steal our election in 2024—and it’s really quite simple—and now, thanks to reporting by The Gateway Pundit and others, Republicans are waking up to this threat! 

One month ago, Former U.S. Ambassador to Canada Bruce Heyman joined MSNBC’s Morning Joe and said overseas voters could be the deciding factor in battleground states in 2024.

Heyman appeared on Morning Joe to discuss the Democratic Party’s efforts to mobilize millions of American voters living abroad, highlighting the pivotal influence these overseas voters could have in battleground states, where close margins may decide the election’s outcome.

By telegraphing to the American people that they believe the key to winning our elections is getting 9 million individuals to vote for Kamala Harris from a pool of 2.4 million eligible overseas voters in total (according to the U.S. government FVAP website), Democrats essentially remove the shock value when it’s announced they only achieved a percentage of their goal when it’s revealed they received millions of new overseas votes.

Burning ballots pulled from inside smoking Vancouver ballot box; hundreds likely damaged

Hundreds of ballots burned in a Vancouver ballot box arson Monday morning, authorities report.

KATU was on the scene at Fisher’s Landing Transit Center in Vancouver shortly after 4 a.m., where heavy smoke was seen coming from inside a dropoff ballot box.

Our photographer captured grey smoke steadily billowing out of the Park and Ride ballot box at Fisher’s Landing Transit Center near Southeast 162nd Avenue just after 6 a.m.

Multiple police units were in the area, and the ballot box was cordoned off by police tape as it continued to smoke.

Around 6:30 a.m., KATU captured footage of first responders releasing a pile of actively burning ballots onto the ground, which continued to smolder and smoke heavily even after the flames were put out.

GOP Congressman Who Was Arrested For Marijuana Says He’ll Vote Against Florida Legalization Ballot Initiative

A GOP congressman who was previously arrested over marijuana says he will be voting against a Florida ballot initiative to legalize cannabis for adults in the state.

In an interview with Florida’s Voice on Friday, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) weighed in on several ballot measures on ballot for next month’s election. And while he said last month that he was undecided on marijuana legalization, the congressman has now affirmed he will be a “no” vote on the initiative.

“I’m opposed to it. I think if you’re going to do something like this, this is something that the legislature should weigh in on, similar to what happened with medical marijuana about a decade ago,” he said. “It should not go into the Constitution.”

In fact, Florida voters did overwhelmingly approve medical marijuana legalization as a constitutional amendment at the ballot in 2016. The legislature helped to facilitate its implementation after the fact and has continued to build upon the reform, but it was added to the Constitution via voters after years of inaction by lawmakers, as advocates hope will be the case with adult-use legalization this year, too.

“I think when you get into these types of policy issues—and no matter how you feel about marijuana or abortion—those are policy issues,” Donalds said, also referring to a reproductive rights measure that’s on the ballot in his state. “They’re not constitutional issues, and I think that’s left to the hands of the legislature and the governor. That’s what should happen.”

Voter Fraud (aka Standard Democrat Operating Procedure In Connecticut)

Over the years, I have written about voter fraud as I have seen it facing ridicule, abuse, and derision for my position from those that are politically connected. But if anything, voter fraud has increased over time, spreading over the years to other parts of our country. Regardless of where it happens, it has the tacit blessing of the Democrat Party.  It is a sad day for our country when many Democrats believe that non-citizens somehow have the right to vote such as what is happening in Virginia and Minnesota (and probably Connecticut).  And this is wrong.  Dead wrong. And illegal. And unconstitutional. And grounds for evil practices and malfeasance

The Heritage Foundation has been tracking voter fraud cases in our country.  Connecticut has had numerous cases dating back to 1988 and the infamous Bridgeport State Senate Ernie Newton ballot fraud case.  In fact, in Connecticut, the bulk of fraudulent cases are from Bridgeport and have been going for almost 50 years, going back to Mayor John Mandanici’s people submitting ballots for dead people in the 1970s.  These egregious cases have been continually swept under the rug, laughed at, disregarded, and avoided at all costs by the Connecticut Democrat Party.  Look at what happened with the 2023 Bridgeport Democrat Mayoral Primary and the stuffed absentee ballot fraud that took place, making Connecticut the butt of national jokes once again. But humility and shame are not emotions present in the makeup of a Connecticut Democrat where it’s a complete double-down on any fraudulent practice if it accomplishes the desired objective.

As just one recent example, Republican State Senator Rob Sampson has again decried the election fraud that seems to be constantly going on based on a recent unsealed complaint alleging that a Bridgeport city councilman convinced a non-citizen to illegally register to vote in 2023 and persuaded her to apply for an absentee ballot that he later cast for her.  His response to this new voter fraud issue was to the point, “When will one-party rule Connecticut Democrats at our State Capitol admit and acknowledge what the rest of the state sees? And by the way: it is not just a ‘Bridgeport Problem.’ You can bet it has been happening in other municipalities. We need reform in Connecticut’s absentee voting process. Republicans and I have been shouting from the rooftops about this for a long time prior to the viral Bridgeport ballot stuffing videos which made Connecticut a national embarrassment. Now, we have this news. Are you sick of seeing it? Then, as you head to the polls to vote, consider how Connecticut Democrats have shown zero interest in ensuring election integrity and have repeatedly voted ‘no’ on Republicans’ commonsense ideas to fix this obviously broken system. Absolutely nothing will change in Connecticut if you keep voting for Democrats.”   

Sampson was immediately condemned by the Connecticut Democrat Party for his comments, but more than arguably, why doesn’t the State Republican Party go one solid step farther and declare global war on voter fraud, by investigating and pursuing every reported occurrence of abuses?  For the abuses are sickening. Can Democrats explain to anyone why Bridgeport and its voting problems have gone on for almost 50 years with no reforms?  And can Democrats equally and completely deny with documentary proof that this form of voter fraud does not exist in other Connecticut municipalities especially with the absurd same day voter registration that exists in the state?  Democrats do not do so, because Democrats know exactly what they are doing and do nothing to stop it because fraud invariably accrues to their benefit.  As my friend and colleague Tony De Angelo often says, its simple as that, (and regrettably, just as difficult).

Moreover, what is astounding to me is no one in this same “legitimate media” (or “political/media complex”) pursues other indicias of fraud to trace it to its root causes. Take Bridgeport. “Wanda The Ballot Stuffer” has been politically operating in Bridgeport over the course of several gubernatorial elections, several of which somehow changed overnight. Would it not be a reasonable question to ask if Wanda had her hand in several of these contests, such as the Lamont-Stefanowski debacle of 2018? Or take this past week. Rep. Greg Howard (R) of Stonington found his name omitted from early voting ballots. How is this grievous flaw possible? Who was responsible for printing the ballots? Is anyone responsible for proofreading ballots? Has this occurrence happened with others in the state. These are all very obvious and logical questions that stunningly, are never pursued by either politically connected individuals or state-run (and paid for), media.

5th Circuit Court Ruling A Win For Election Integrity

The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that all ballots in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas must be received by election day. The ruling supersedes any state law concerning the schedule for counting votes.

Furthermore, the ruling sets an important federal precedent for the other 47 states.

From the ruling:

“Congress statutorily designated a singular “day for the election” of members of Congress and the appointment of presidential electors. Text, precedent, and historical practice confirm this “day for the election” is the day by which ballots must be both cast by voters and received by state officials. Because Mississipppi’s statute allows ballot receipt up to five days after the federal election day, it is preemted by federal law. We reverse the district court’s contrary judgment and remand for further proceedings.”

Fulton Judge Overturns Seven Election Rules, Declares Them Unconstitutional

In a decision that has sent shockwaves through Georgia’s political landscape, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Thomas Cox struck down seven key election rules established by the Georgia State Election Board (SEB). The ruling, delivered just weeks before the 2024 election, nullifies several measures designed to enhance election security, citing them as “illegal, unconstitutional, and void.”

The SEB rules, which were put in place in response to concerns over election integrity, required measures such as hand-counting ballots, signature verification for absentee ballots, and video surveillance of ballot drop boxes. These rules were introduced to ensure transparency and security in the election process, particularly around absentee ballots. However, Judge Cox’s ruling has effectively dismantled these efforts, sparking controversy and raising concerns about the potential impact on the upcoming election.

The case was brought forward by Eternal Vigilance Action, Inc., a conservative group, along with two Republicans: former state representative Scot Turner and Chatham County election board member James Hall. The plaintiffs argued that the SEB had overstepped its legal authority by implementing rules that exceeded the boundaries set by Georgia’s Election Code. They contended that these rules not only violated state law but also created unnecessary barriers to the voting process.

Judge Cox agreed with the plaintiffs, ruling that the SEB lacked the authority to enforce these new rules. In his decision, Cox stated that the SEB rules were “unsupported by Georgia’s Election Code” and were in conflict with both the state and U.S. constitutions.

Iowa Poll Watcher Sounds Alarm on Illegal Aliens Being Allowed to Vote

An Iowa poll watcher took to social media Friday to sound the alarm about illegal aliens being able to vote in her state.

Laynie Marsh volunteered to be a poll watcher in county when she discovered that illegal aliens are in fact able to vote in the upcoming election.

“I feel like this is something I need to share with every US citizen — I signed up to work this November 5th election poll — The reason why I did this was because I wanted to see firsthand for myself if illegal immigrants are actually being allowed to vote. And I’m here to tell you that yes they are,” she said.

“This is what I’ve been instructed. When someone comes in to vote, obviously you ask for their driver’s license. That’s normal, that’s how it should be. You present that, it gets scanned, and then that information instantly goes into the computer, it pops up a screen. If you’re already registered to vote I will instantly see that.”

“You get a ballot and a concealed envelope. Then you’re prompted on where to go to fill your ballot out. After you finish filling the ballot out, it goes into that concealed envelope and it’s handed back to me. Then it is put into the [voting] machine,” she continued.

“Here’s the problem: illegal immigrants are being given driver’s licenses,” she said. “They are being given non-driving licenses. They look exactly like my license, or all of yours. Whatever state they have chosen to reside in, their license looks exactly the same as that state’s license that everyone possesses. There’s no way for me or anyone else working that day to tell if they’re an actual U.S. citizen from looking at that. And they’re being allowed to vote.”

Marsh went on to explain how the illegal aliens are given a provisional ballot that’s separated from normal ballots and vetted by an unknown poll worker using basic information that doesn’t prove citizenship.
