House passes H.R. 4 election takeover bill restoring DOJ preclearance authority over all state and local election laws, including redistricting and absentee ballots
District of Columbia | August 25, 2021
The House of Representatives on Aug. 24 passed H.R. 4, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, by a vote of 219 to 212, legislation that would give preclearance authority over any change to state or municipal election laws, including redistricting and absentee ballots, to the U.S. Attorney General or alternately, to the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia.
According to Section 6 of the bill: “Each State and each political subdivision shall identify any newly enacted or adopted law, regulation, or policy that includes a voting qualification or prerequisite to voting, or a standard, practice, or procedure with respect to voting… and… ensure that no such covered practice is implemented unless or until the State or political subdivision, as the case may be, complies with subsection (c),” which requires preclearance either via the Attorney General, or alternately, the D.C. District Court…. (Excerpts from the Daily Torch)

85 Percent of 59,000 Absentee Ballots Placed in Fulton County Drop Boxes in 2020 Election Were Not Transported to Registrar ‘Immediately’ As Georgia State Rule Requires; 5 Percent Were Delivered BEFORE They Were Picked Up
Georgia | May 20, 2021
Eighty-five percent of the more than 59,000 absentee ballots deposited in Fulton County drop box locations during the November 3, 2020 elections for which Fulton County officials have provided chain of custody documentation were not “immediately transported” from the drop boxes to the registrar’s designee as the Emergency Rule of the State Election Board for Absentee Voting requires. Instead, they took more than one hour to be transferred to election officials.
Remarkably, ballot transfer forms provided to The Georgia Star News by Fulton County officials on May 3, 2021–six months after the November 3, 2020 election, indicate that more than five percent of these absentee ballots were signed in as accepted by registrar designees before they were picked up at drop boxes — a physical impossibility suggesting the time data included on those ballot forms is incorrect.
You can see an example of a ballot transfer form in which the registrar’s designee accepted the ballots before they were picked up at the drop box here:..

Trump hails UK voter ID proposal as model for United States
International | May 12, 2021
Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday touted a voter identification proposal in the United Kingdom as a model for what should be done in the United States.
Such voting reforms are necessary “so we never again have an election rigged and stolen from us,” Trump said in a statement, alluding to the 2020 election.
The announcement on Tuesday of a proposal to require U.K. voters to show a photo ID to vote was made as part of the “Queen’s Speech,” an address delivered by Queen Elizabeth II and prepared by the ruling party that lays out Parliament’s priorities. The speech is not meant to represent the queen’s own opinions…

Governor Signs Bill Requiring Voter ID at Polls
Wyoming | April 11, 2021
Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon signed a bill into law Tuesday that will require residents to show some form of identification when voting in person in the next election.
While some state Democrats criticized the bill as “voter suppression,” state Rep. Chuck Gray, a Republican, called it a “victory for the citizens of Wyoming,” according to the Cowboy State Daily.
“It is a necessary function of our Republic to provide our citizens with confidence that our elections are secure, fair, and valid,” he said. “I am proud that we were able to meet this important milestone for Wyoming.” Gray was a sponsor of the bill.
Rep. Dan Zwonitzer, a Republican, said he doesn’t believe the bill will suppress anyone’s vote because of amendments added to it that allow voters to use alternate forms of ID, such as a Wyoming student ID, Medicare ID or a tribal ID card, according to the Oil City News in Casper, Wyo….

New Hampshire Senate Passes Mandate to Audit Windham’s 2020 Election Results
New Hampshire | April 8, 2021
In a HUGE WIN for We, the People, and for New Hampshire election integrity, the NH Senate voted 24-0 just minutes ago to concur with the House amended version of SB43. This Bill was championed by Senator Bob Giuda and will validate election integrity in our state by mandating a forensic audit on Windham’s 11/3/20 general election ballots and voting machines as configured on November 3, 2020.
The passage of SB43 into law is critical to ensure election integrity is verified not only in Windham, but across NH – because the same machines are used to count 85% of all votes in NH.
