@WSJopinion
Today, RNLA filed FEC complaint against Dem presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg & Bloomberg News, alleging that Bloomberg News' (non)coverage of presidential campaign is impermissible in-kind corporate contribution not subject to media exemption.
The reprehensible attacks on lawyers who would have the temerity to represent the President of the U.S. are only part of a widespread effort to drive those who support President Trump (apparently all 71 million of us) from all aspects of public life.
Thank you
@TuckerCarlson

Maricopa vote counts delayed; they switched to vote-center model, instead of precinct, cutting number of places to vote by 2/3 and complicating process. Malfunctioning machines/printers/staff disenfranchised voters!

Laws need to be followed so voters can have confidence in the results.
I am pleased to announce the RNC &
@GaRepublicans
have filed suit demanding Georgia election officials follow the laws on their books as they pertain to poll watchers & drop boxes.
Praise for Judge Brown Jackson's role as a mother by Biden and liberals makes the attacks during the confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett for her role as a mother of 8 even worse. Strong families should be celebrated regardless of the judicial philosophy of the nominee.

Democrat lawyers just told the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania that Philadelphia was reinstating procedures to catch double voting not b/c 2x voting is wrong but because Republicans would otherwise spread “misinformation.”

In addition to being a big win for election integrity, this ruling strikes a blow at DNC & Marc Elias who have been using the courts to attack state election confidence measures.
This week, an appellate court handed down an important decision affirming a state’s ability to protect the integrity of elections. It was an absolute rejection of efforts, led by the ACLU & DNC, to prevent PA from enforcing its requirements that voters sign & date the
Highlight from Pres. Trump's

response: "The Senate of the US lacks jurisdiction over the 45th President because he holds no public office from which he can be removed rendering the Article of Impeachment moot and a non-justiciable question."
The WI Supreme Court knows they are being partisan hacks as they announce in middle of a holiday weekend they are reversing a decision of just 2 years ago regarding misuse/abuse of “drop boxes” at the behest of a desperate Democrat Party.

Apparently,

Did Democrats really think they could get through today’s hearing without anyone noticing that one of the studies cited on voter ID is using self-reported data? Thank you

Tomorrow Senate Dems will fail in their efforts to pass a slightly modified version of the

Brnovich v. DNC is a major win for election integrity and lays a clear path for states to continue to implement election safeguards that further promote honest, open, and fair elections.
