MACDONALD: Get Off Your Ass

August 16, 2026 Steve MacDonald

Depending on which AI you believe, fewer than 7 voters out of every 100 actually need to use vote by mail or an absentee ballot. Truly and absolutely need it and are, in fact, eligible to vote in the first place. As few as 1% to as many as 7%. Enough to move the election … Read more

Morning Update: Voting Wrong

July 27, 2026 The Morning Update

Today, on the morning update, the idea of rejecting ballots, especially mail-in ballots for elections, is a hot topic, but this blue state says it rejected 148,000 of them, so all that breathless angst over mail-in ballot voting rights is what, exactly? Wrong? Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if the Embedded Video does not … Read more

MACDONALD: USPS Vote-by-Mail Rule is Alive. ALIVE!

July 19, 2026July 19, 2026 Steve MacDonald

You can never tell with District Court judges. Even after SCOTUS suggests it would be inappropriate for a tiny judge in a tiny pond to cast orders with national effect, they keep doing it. And I know, I’m singing to the choir on the judge problem. The left goes shopping. Finds one willing to do … Read more

Morning Update: Did Your Vote Count?

June 5, 2026 The Morning Update

Today, on the Morning Update, the government has no more responsibility to care for your ballots than it does for your person. That’d be none. If you don’t make sure your vote is counted, how do you know if your vote counts? 00:00 A few words about Public Safety01:33 Voting and Ballot Security03:10 Mail-in Ballot … Read more

ROPER: Voting Rights Bill Debate Exposes Major Problem with Elections

May 15, 2026 Rob Roper

This is supposed to be an election integrity measure, protecting voters from “…bribery, intimidation, threats, coercion, or other means…” by those attempting to influence how — or preventing them entirely — from voting at a polling place. Sounds good. But here’s the problem: two-thirds of Vermonters no longer vote at a polling place. Since the … Read more

Could Federal Spending Cuts End VT Vote-By-Mail?

April 23, 2025 Rob Roper

Deputy Secretary of State Lauren Hibbert testified before the House Appropriations Committee regarding a number of the office’s budget issues, including elections. Hibbert noted that historically, about 60 percent of Vermont’s $5 million yearly budget to run elections ($10 million for two-year election cycles) comes from federal grants, including those from the federal Help Americans … Read more

The Only Key “Voting Bloc” We Need Joe Biden to Lose In 2024 Is This One

March 3, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Western Journal has done an excellent job of adding some balance to the business of news and media, but I laughed out loud when I read this headline: “Biden Has All But Lost His Advantage in Key Voting Bloc that Drove 2020 Win, Devastating Poll Shows.”

Clean Elections Update: Democrat Faces 140 Charges for Mail-In Ballot Fraud … in a Democrat Primary Race

December 24, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Here are a few inconvenient truths. Election fraud is real. Mail-in and absentee ballot fraud is real (and an epidemic). Anyone can use mail-in ballots to commit election fraud, but Democrats keep getting caught doing it … to each other.

Vermont Is All-In on Universal Vote-By-Mail-Fraud: Every Election, Forever.

October 9, 2022 Steve MacDonald

It is a well-regarded fact, even among globalist progressives the world around, that voting by mail improves the ease with which election fraud can be perpetrated. Even Democrats of eld thought the practice suspicious and likely to undermine confidence in election integrity.

Chris Sununu Not Only Carries the Democrat’s Water, He Adds Some Ice, A Slice Of Lemon, And A Little Umbrella.

July 12, 2022July 12, 2022 Steve MacDonald

I’d like to have nice things to say about New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, but he doesn’t make it easy. Sure, I applauded a few bills he signed (which could have been better had he let them), but lately, he’s mostly been a disappointment, and crap like this makes it more challenging.

Voter (Who Voted) Removed from Checklist for Not-Voting; Told to Re-Register

June 29, 2021 Steve MacDonald

A little over two weeks ago we shared the story of a voter in the town of Salem. They voted absentee in Nov. 2020 but later received a note from the town. They were being removed from the checklist for not voting when they had voted. We have a development.

Town Notifies 2020 Absentee Voter (Who Voted) That She’s Being Removed from the Rolls for Not Voting

June 10, 2021 Steve MacDonald

This is an interesting story we’re now following. A voter in Salem, New Hampshire, registered to vote for 2020 and then sent in an absentee ballot. Several months later, she was alerted that she was being removed from the vote rolls.

Voting Absentee When You Didn’t – An Anecdote From My Friend

November 29, 2020 Skip

I’ve known Julius for over two decades. We worked together at the same company and on the same projects together. We’ve stayed in touch, albeit at times, infrequently. But he’s always generally asking me, the political propeller head, political questions.

So, Dems want to emulate NH’s drive by voting in Georgia for the US Senate runoff races?

November 11, 2020 Skip

We’re well aware, here in NH, of “drive by voting” whereby students at NH based colleges, paying out-of-state tuition (signifying their legal domiciles are elsewhere), vote in our local elections. Also, those Democrat “organizers” and temporary Democrat campaign staffs do the “end of campaign” celebration by sashaying up to the polls and vote and then … Read more

And we wouldn’t be seeing the destruction of yet another American institution, either

November 7, 2020 Skip

And just think – if the Dems hadn't so insisted on early voting / vote-by-mail, they wouldn't be in this trouble of having to remind people to vote. Like everything else, they have to make the easy (vote on Election Day) much harder. Serves'em right. https://t.co/tXbwhQIaL0 — GraniteGrok (@GraniteGrok) October 31, 2020 And now we … Read more

Another Reason to Vote in Person – Boston Ballot Drop Box Torched

October 26, 2020 Steve MacDonald

We’ve told people for months that the only way to ensure your vote counts is to guarantee the chain of custody. From your hand to the machine that counts it. But the Democrat machine is pushing it alongside the fearmongering, and as promised, votes are being lost.

Texas Democrat who Won Election by 5 Votes Charged with Mail-Ballot Fraud

September 25, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Another tale of vote-by-mail election tampering, this one involving a County Commissioner and three others. They face “123 felony charges in the case, including organized election fraud, illegal voting, fraudulent use of an application for a mail-in ballot, and election fraud.”

Nothing to Worry About: Trays of Mail Found in Ditch in Wisconsin (Including Absentee Ballots)

September 24, 2020 Steve MacDonald

If you missed it, we highly recommend that you vote in person. Why? There’s no guarantee your vote will be counted unless you do. Proof? More proof, okay. “Police in Greenville, Wisconsin, found three trays of mail, including absentee ballots, in a ditch.”

Vote by Mail isn’t Gonna Work if the Mail Carriers are Afraid to Pick up the Mail

September 24, 2020September 23, 2020 Skip

The Democrats have been using the United States Post office as a 2020 Presidential campaign cudgel for the past few months now. The emails I get from them are all about SAVE THE USPS, SUPPORT THE USPS, ORANGEMAN BAD POLITICAL INTEFERENCE, TRUMP’S POSTMASTER TRYING TO KILL THE POST OFFICE…you get the picture.

More Reasons to Vote in Person Nov 3rd – 1600 Ballots “Found” 2 Months After the Election

September 16, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Vote by mail is a bad idea, not just because Democrats are suddenly so fond of it. No nation on earth is stupid enough to trust it. And while that may explain why the Left has abandoned their concerns, it is only your vote if you ensure the chain of custody. If you hand that to a third party, well, it might never count.
