There is controvery in Virginia over the votes of deployed forces. The McCain campaign went to court to make sure that late arriving absentee ballots would be counted. A federal judge has ordered election officials in Virginia to preserve late-arriving absentee ballots that Republican John McCain’s campaign claims should be counted. The McCain campaign says […]


I suspect this led to a reduced turnout for Democratic voters considering how they’re registering anyone who can breath – or could at one time, anyway. Boston morning hosts Gerry Callahan and John Dennis told listeners to their WEEI show today the election was postponed and that Democrats should show up to vote tomorrow to […]

“Stealing Elections” author John Fund discusses voter fraud with National Review.


Watch how malicious Democrats can be. Here is Chuck Schumer suggesting that regulating political speech on the airwaves is the same as regulating pornography. He gets the John Edwards Smarmiest Democrat of the Day Award for that one.

But Starbucks’ giveaway may violate state and federal laws because it […]
