Texas, Georgia, Arizona: Three cases studies of state oversight of troubled local elections

 Similar to Texas, Georgia has experienced issues with elections in Fulton County, which led the State Election Board to appoint a performance review board to conduct an assessment of the county.

After conducting a 17-month-long review, the board released its report this January, noting how, despite having issues in the 2020 presidential election, Fulton County has made improvements in the elections since and should continue to do so in preparation for the 2024 presidential election.

"Replacing the board would not be helpful and would in fact hinder the ongoing improvements to Fulton County elections." Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has previously called for Fulton County's elections to be taken over by the state.

"With SB 202," the election integrity law passed in 2021, "Habitually failing counties can - actually the State Election Board can come in and replace the election director and really take over the governance of that," Raffensperger told the John Solomon Reports podcast in June 2021, noting Florida took similar action more than 10 years earlier and rectified problems in places like Palm Beach County.

Following the 2020 presidential election, the Arizona state Senate conducted an audit of the election in Maricopa County, which flagged a large number of voters who potentially voted in the county and at least one other county in the state.

While Arizona is currently run by a Democratic administration, following the 2020 election when Republicans still held the governor's and attorney general's offices, the state didn't take over administration of Maricopa County's elections.

Maricopa County, the largest county in the state, had election issues in 2022 while being run by Republican election officials.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

  Multiple U.S. states governed by Republicans are withdrawing state funds from BlackRock's management, as they disapprove of the ESG investment policies of the world's top asset manager, the Financial Times reports. In recent weeks, Louisiana, South Carolina, Utah, and Arkansas have announced they would divest funds from...

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
