Trump Orders Shock Voter Fraud Crackdown in Nine States, Including: WA, WI, MO, GA, CA, PA, NV, NY and CT

Cue the shrieking demons in the leftist media!

President Trump ordered a shock voter fraud crackdown on Monday in nine states, including Washington, Wisconsin, Missouri, Georgia, California, Pennsylvania, Nevada, New York, and Connecticut.

It starts on Tuesday.

Homeland Security Investigations, ICE’s investigative arm, will launch what officials are calling a ‘coordinated criminal voter fraud surge initiative to pursue investigative leads, conduct field interviews, and support timely prosecutorial review.’

Agents will be authorized to pursue investigative leads through mid-October — right as the midterm election season gets underway.

Today’s news comes after DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin previously stated 250,000+ noncitizens were found on voter rolls in four states.

In July, Secretary Mullin sent letters to California Secretary of State Shirley Weber, New Jersey Secretary of State Dale Caldwell, Nevada Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar, and Pennsylvania Secretary of State Al Schmidt.

Federal Appellate Court Rules In Favor Of AI Child Porn

While proponents of artificial intelligence (”AI”) paint an idyllic picture of how the groundbreaking technology is poised to eliminate the ills plaguing society, their unbridled optimism continues to be met with skepticism by their opponents. From fears over the economic repercussions of the rapid loss of jobs that advancements in AI may not be able to outpace to the technology’s applications as the framework for the apparatus of a panopticon surveillance state, concerns over the impact of AI mar the utopian vision its advocates have with an even more dystopian outlook of the future it will usher in. A look inside of the Pandora’s Box being opened by AI was glimpsed following a decision by a federal appeals court ruling in favor of protecting AI-generated child pornography.

On August 25th, 2026, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit ruled thatthe First Amendment protects an individual’s right to privately possess images and videos of child sexual abuse created using AI, so long as the child sex abuse material (”CSAM”) does not depict a real child and remains in the privacy of the possessor’s home. The federal appellate court issued the unanimous ruling from a panel of three U.S. circuit judges: Judge John Z. Lee, Judge Doris L. Pryor, and Judge Joshua P. Kolar. The case came to the court in the matter of U.S. v. Anderegg, a title that now stands poised to challenge longstanding Supreme Court precedent governing how the law addresses CSAM.

The pivotal case centers on Steven Anderegg, 42, of Holmen, Wisconsin. Anderegg was arrested in May 2024 on suspicion of mass production of AI-generated CSAM. Prosecutors alleged that he used an AI image generator called Stable Diffusion to create over 13,000 images depicting child sex abuse by entering prompts into the platform, including thousands of realistic images of prepubescent minors. In a press release announcing his arrest, the U.S. Department of Justice revealed Anderegg described how he created the AI CSAM through the text-to-image generative AI model in a chat with a 15-year-old boy on the social media platform Instagram. The DOJ press release chronicled how Anderegg not only described how he generated the images to the minor, but that he sent the boy several AI-generated images of minors displaying their genitals. Following their exchange, Instagram reported Anderegg’s account to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (”NCMEC”) through its CyberTipline. The NCMEC followed suit by alerting federal authorities.

On May 15th, 2024, a federal grand jury in the Western District of Wisconsin returned an indictment against Anderegg, charging him with producing, distributing, and possessing obscene visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct and transferring obscene materials to a minor under the age of 16. Under those charges, Anderegg faces a maximum penalty of 70 years in prison and a mandatory minimum of five years.

Ahead of his trial originally scheduled to begin on February 18th, 2025, Anderegg’s attorneys filed a motion to dismiss the four counts brought against him on September 23rd, 2024. His defense counsel cited a myriad of federal cases in support of their argument that the statutes Anderegg was charged under were unconstitutional because the AI CSAM he created, possessed, and shared did not depict any actual children, thus the charges violated his rights under the First Amendment.

WOW! Slimy DSA Democrat Who Ran as “Poor Waitress” in Wisconsin Primary Was Making Bank from Soros Orgs.

DSA Candidate Rebecca Cooke won her primary this week in Wisconsin’s 3rd district, a plus-3 Republican district. Rebecca will now run against retired Navy SEAL, Representative Derrick Van Orden.

In a recent political ad, DSA candidate Cooke ends with this… “We need real working people in Washington. And that’s why I approve of this message.”

Cooke ran as a working-class waitress. But, since she’s DSA (commie), you know there’s more to this story.

In fact, FOX News recently discovered that Rebecca Cooke delayed reporting her personal financial disclosure until two days after the Democrat primary.

Cooke requested a 90-day extension from the Clerk of the House on April 24, moving her disclosure deadline from May 15 to August 13, according to the official extension request.

Wisconsin’s primary was held on August 11.

Cooke ultimately defeated former Eau Claire City Council President Emily Berge with approximately 60 percent of the vote, setting up a November rematch with Republican Rep. Derrick Van Orden.

A Flock Camera Flagged Her Car in a Homicide by Mistake. Police Pulled Her Over at Gunpoint Twice

A Wisconsin woman was stopped by police with guns drawn twice in one week after an automated license plate camera wrongly linked her car to a Milwaukee homicide. Milwaukee police say the alert should have been deleted days earlier, but a staffer never cleared it.

According to Local 12, Amber Newell was driving on I-94 in Brookfield, west of Milwaukee, on the afternoon of August 6 when a Flock camera flagged her vehicle as connected to a homicide investigation. FOX6 Milwaukee reported that video from the interstate showed multiple officers with guns drawn and a passenger sticking their hands out the window. After Brookfield officers reached out to the Milwaukee Police Department to verify the alert, MPD responded that the vehicle and its occupants were no longer of interest, and the people were let go. Newell told FOX6 the same thing had happened to her earlier that week.

The issue was not the camera reading her plate wrong. Milwaukee police said this was a personnel problem, not a Flock problem: staff failed to remove a wanted vehicle alert from the system after it was no longer needed. Brookfield Police Chief Christopher Garcia has defended the stop, and Milwaukee police back him up, saying his officers acted on the information they had. Newell described the fear in plain terms. “I haven’t been asleep since this has happened,” she said. “Every time I close my eyes, all I can see is guns.” She also said her young daughter is now afraid to ride in the car.

Flock Safety operates a network of roughly 120,000 cameras across the country, and the system works by photographing plates, timestamping them, logging a location, and checking each read against police hotlists. When a plate matches, officers get an alert. That means your car’s movements can land in a searchable database whether or not you are suspected of anything, and the accuracy of any given stop depends entirely on whether the underlying list is correct and current.

The louder story this year has been deliberate abuse. Milwaukee alone has seen two officers charged: Josue Ayala, who prosecutors say searched a partner’s plate and that partner’s ex nearly 200 times, and internal affairs detective Tehrangi Chapman, who was later charged after allegedly misusing the same system he was assigned to investigate. The Institute for Justice has documented at least a couple dozen cases nationwide of officers using plate readers to track romantic interests, and a Washington Post review found at least 50 officers accused of misusing these systems. Cities are reacting. Chandler, Arizona pulled 40 Flock cameras this month after an audit turned up an anomaly it could not explain through normal police work.

What happened to Newell is different from stalking, but it comes from the same weak point: an audit trail and an accuracy check only work if a person is actually watching them. A separate running tally of reported Flock errors found drivers who were repeatedly stopped after their own plates were mistakenly added to hotlists, and one man who spent 13 days in jail after a camera capture misidentified his car. Flock has said its cameras are about 99% accurate, but at tens of billions of reads a month, even a tiny error rate becomes a steady stream of real people staring down real guns.

Wisconsin Election Update: At Least 1 of 5 “Human Errors” in Milwaukee Democrat Primary Caught on Camera

The City of Milwaukee has faced rightful criticism of how they conducted the 2026 Democrat primary on Tuesday evening.

As The Gateway Pundit has reported, there was a discrepancy with 5 out of 9 ES&S DS950 high-speed central scanners when election workers allegedly exported “audit logs” instead of “results,” leaving Wisconsin wondering who would be the gubernatorial candidate for the Democrats.

Francesca Hong, a card-carrying member of the Democratic Socialists of America, who was favored by 22 points in the last polls before voting and in five polls with an average margin of Hong +22.8 points, lost in the late-night count to the establishment candidate, David Crowley by just over 3,200 votes.

A camera crew for CBS58 Milwaukee caught at least one moment when the “audit log” was exported, rather than the results.

In the photo, you can see “Export Audit Log” written at the top of the menu and a pop-up window that says “Please Wait… Exporting Audit Log”.  Timestamps on the machine show that this occurred at 10:16 p.m. on August 11, 2026.

A separate image shows the proper menu for selecting either Configuration, Results, or Setup.

“Human Error”?? Inside Milwaukee County’s Voting System and Why Milwaukee’s USB Explanation Raises Questions

Last night in the Wisconsin Democrat primary, David Crowley defeated Francesca Hong by a little more than 3,200 votes.  This was after late-night drama unfolded in Milwaukee County just before midnight, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

According to a post from Urban Milwaukee co-founder, Jeramey Jannene on X:

“5 of 9 USB drives had audit logs, not actual results, copied to them.  Bipartisan commission will go back to election warehouse, redownload, drive back again.  15k ballots believe to be impacted.  One hour delay.  “Human error” says Paulina Guiterrez.

Wisconsin’s WISN 12 covered the press conference and the remarks from Milwaukee Election Commission Executive Director, Paulina Guiterrez.

“As part of the download process, there are two things: there’s the audit log and the results.  What we uncovered was that five of the sticks had the audit log downloaded and not the results.  It’s a human error.  These things can happen.

So basically what we need to do is go back to the operations center and we’re going to download, out of those five machines, the results and make sure that its not the audit log.

We have the reports printed from the first download.  We’re going to reprint and start the process so that we can compare those results.  We invite you to come join us.  Milwaukee Police Department will come with us too.

We’ll re-download those results and then send them back here to be uploaded.

When asked if it was five machines that were an issue, Guiterrez clarified that it was the “sticks” that had the audit logs downloaded, not the results, on 5 out of 9 “sticks.”

Wacky Marxist Francesca Hong LOSES Wisconsin Dem Gubernatorial Primary to Establishment Opponent in Shocking Upset Following Suspicious Late-Night Ballot Drop

The dim-witted, holiday-hating communist who had emerged as one of new ‘stars’ of the Democratic Party has lost her primary in a stunning upset to a largely unknown establishment opponent following a late drop and chaos in Wisconsin’s largest city.

As CNN reported, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley narrowly defeated 37-year-old state assemblywoman Francesca Hong, who almost everyone assumed was going face Wisconsin GOP nominee Tom Tiffany in the general election.

The latest results show Crowley holding roughly a three thousand vote lead, less than half a percentage of the vote.

Crowley was backed by the entire Democratic establishment, including outgoing Wisconsin governor Tony Evers, who feared a hong nomination would mean a disastrous defeat in November.

Just hours before the race was called, the city of Milwaukee announced that 5 of the 9 USBs were ‘missing’ election results and results would be delayed.

This affected roughly 15,000 absentee ballots.

Notorious Wisconsin Election Official At Center Of Zuckbucks Scandal Resigns

Green Bay City Clerk Celestine Jeffreys’ reign of incompetence and law-breaking has come to an end. 

Jeffreys, who began her notorious tenure during Green Bay’s scandalous handling of the 2020 election, stepped down late last week amid an investigation into her latest election administration mess. 

But there remain several “conveniently” unanswered questions for Green Bay’s leftist leadership, according to the Brown County GOP. 

‘It’s Long Overdue’

Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich released a statement on Friday announcing that “Ms. Jeffreys has made the decision to step down from her role as City Clerk.”

“We wish her the best in her future endeavors,” the mayor’s office said. 

That’s it. A two-sentence goodbye, followed by notice that the announcement will be “the City’s only statement on the matter.”

Jeffreys’ ignominious resignation comes a month after the city placed the embattled clerk on administrative leave for sending an unspecified number of absentee ballots to voters in several Green Bay wards — in advance of Wisconsin’s August primary. The election is scheduled for Tuesday. Jeffreys’ office described the mistake as a “printing error.”

As The Federalist reported last month, the bungling clerk’s latest miscue occurred less than three months after the office issued duplicate absentee ballots “in at least 152 instances” before the city’s spring elections, according to a complaint filed by the Republican Party of Wisconsin and Brown County GOP board member Theresa Sipes. 

The Wisconsin Elections Commission has launched yet another investigation into the city clerk’s office, finding probable cause that Jeffreys’ latest ballot mishap broke Wisconsin elections law. City officials later this month are expected to deliver a presentation on their investigation into the clerk’s office to the leftist-led Green Bay City Council, which has countenanced Jeffreys’ incompetence for years. 

Doug Reich, chairman of the Republican Party of Brown County, told The Federalist last month that two absentee ballot debacles in the span of a few months is “not an ‘oops.’” And Jeffreys leaving mid-investigation isn’t accountability. 

“[I]t’s the bare minimum, and it’s long overdue,” Reich wrote on the county GOP’s Facebook page.

“Two elections. Two rounds of duplicate absentee ballots. A state investigation. And the best the city could produce, even after all that, was a two-sentence statement with no explanation and no apology to the voters affected,” the chairman added. 

‘Gross Incompetence Or Something Worse’

Reich said Green Bay officials have yet to clarify how many voters received absentee ballots for Tuesday’s primary election. He noted that Jeffreys personally printed the spring election ballot labels, and she did it again in June. 

“And her April report to the WEC left that out entirely, which is its own problem,” the GOP official wrote. “What has the city offered as proof? An unsworn letter from its own attorney. No records. No affidavit. Nothing Jeffreys has put her name to under oath. That’s not transparency, it’s damage control.”

Nicholas Boerke, Sipes’ legal counsel, has asked the Wisconsin Elections Commission to find that the city has failed to comply with the election regulator’s July 31 order demanding Green Bay officials explain how Jeffreys’ “printer error” happened — again. 

“As I have said all along, this is either gross incompetence or something worse and the difference matters,” Boerke wrote in his letter to the commission. “An unsworn letter from a city lawyer, with no records, no affidavit, and nothing the (former) Clerk will stand behind under oath, is not accountability. More is necessary.”

The attorney said the WEC has the authority to subpoena records and take testimony under oath. 

Here’s another important question: Who is running the city clerk’s office? As Reich wrote, Green Bay’s deputy clerk has been left holding the bag, running day-to-day operations, including preparing for Tuesday’s primary, “while the city drags its feet on a permanent replacement.”

More Democrat Election Tricks: Milwaukee Election Officials Blame “Human Error” After 5 of 9 USB Drives Arrive to Central HQ WITHOUT Election Results

Milwaukee is at it again.

In the early hours of Wednesday morning, as Wisconsin primary results were still coming in, Milwaukee Election Commission Executive Director Paulina Gutierrez admitted that five of the nine USB flash drives delivered from the city’s central count facility to the county contained audit logs instead of the actual election results.

“It’s a human error,” Gutierrez said. When asked by WISN 12 if it was as simple as somebody pressing the wrong button, she replied, “Correct.”

Officials were forced to return to the operations center at Central Count to re-download the correct results from five machines. Those results then had to be transported back to the Milwaukee County Courthouse for re-uploading. Gutierrez said nearly 15,000 ballots were still outstanding at the time of the admission.

Read that again: on five of the nine USB drives used in a critical election-night transfer, officials copied the wrong files.

Flock Camera Mix-Up: Wisconsin Woman Pulled Over Twice at Gunpoint Due to Error

A Wisconsin woman was pulled over at gunpoint twice in one week after Milwaukee Police Department staff failed to remove a vehicle alert from the Flock license plate camera system.

Fox 6 Milwaukee reports that on Thursday, police in the Milwaukee suburb of Brookfield, Wisconsin, conducted a high-risk traffic stop on Interstate 94 after a Flock camera flagged a vehicle in connection with a Milwaukee homicide investigation. Video footage from the incident shows multiple officers with weapons drawn and a passenger extending their hands out the car window in compliance with police commands.

The vehicle’s driver, Amber Newell, and her passengers were detained during the stop. However, when Brookfield Police contacted the Milwaukee Police Department to coordinate the arrest, MPD informed them they no longer needed the vehicle or its occupants. The officers immediately released Newell and the other individuals.

According to the Milwaukee Police Department, the incident resulted from a personnel error rather than a technological malfunction. MPD staff had failed to remove the wanted vehicle alert from the Flock system after the investigation no longer required monitoring that particular car. Brookfield Police Chief Christopher Garcia stated that his officers’ actions were consistent with the information available to them at the time of the stop.

In an interview with FOX6 News, Newell described the emotional impact of the experience. “I haven’t been asleep since this has happened,” Newell said. “Every time I close my eyes, all I can see is guns.” Newell recounted the terrifying moments when police surrounded her vehicle. “My momma is like my go-to person, I wanted to call her so bad yesterday, but I’m like, if I make a sudden move, it’s gonna be over, it’s going to end my life,” Newell said.

What makes the situation even more disturbing for Newell is that this was not an isolated incident. She reported that Milwaukee police conducted a similar stop on Monday, also with guns drawn. According to Newell, officers provided no explanation, towed her vehicle, and released her without charges.

“It was very embarrassing because after they put us in cuffs, they walked us to the car, I don’t know what’s going on, I’m scared, all you see is people in they cars recording,” Newell said.

Milwaukee police declined to provide an interview regarding the incident. The department emphasized the error was related to data entry procedures rather than the Flock camera technology itself, but has not publicly addressed how similar mistakes might be prevented in the future.
