Investigative journalist and O’Keefe Media Group founder James O’Keefe joins Tudor Dixon to reveal what his undercover investigations uncovered about vulnerabilities in America’s election system. O’Keefe takes Tudor inside his recent investigations in Michigan, Minnesota, Alaska, and California, including allegations involving non-citizen voting, voter ID requirements, absentee ballots, ballot harvesting, and Minnesota’s controversial voter “vouching” system. O’Keefe also discusses his investigation in Alaska involving Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s brother, the calls for his prosecution following his undercover reporting, and why he says his team carefully avoided illegally casting or obtaining ballots while documenting potential weaknesses in election safeguards. The conversation also turns to California, where O’Keefe says his reporting uncovered people paying homeless individuals to forge signatures on petitions and register to vote—an investigation he says ultimately resulted in an FBI arrest. Tudor and O’Keefe discuss the SAVE Act, election integrity, voter ID, censorship, the role of investigative journalism, and why O’Keefe believes exposing election vulnerabilities on camera is more powerful than simply telling Americans they exist.

In this episode of Represent National, Benita, Nayan and Zoe take a look at new questions in the National Census, including questions surveying LGBTQIA+ people. The team also discusses a Year 11 student running in the upcoming Victorian election in November, and whether there should be minimum (or even maximum!) age restrictions for running as a political candidate. Finally, we talk about brand new changes to Victorian voting laws abolishing 'group voting', under which you could vote for a new party called 'Free Palestine' and your preferences would flow to conservative right-wing parties without you knowing...

During the final hour of The Charlie James Show, host Charlie James focuses heavily on systemic oversight, technology abuses, and state voting legislation. He begins with a critical look at privacy violations, detailing how the Greer Police Department recently terminated two officers for abusing the city's AI-enabled Flock Safety license plate tracking cameras. James then shifts to recent legal proceedings, recounting updates from an assassination trial involving the murder of Charlie Kirk, and combines it with public health concerns over a widespread Cyclospora parasitic illness outbreak. This leads into a sharp critique of South Carolina lawmakers for blocking access to over-the-counter antiparasitic drugs like Ivermectin. Finally, James interacts with listeners to announce his nomination for South Carolina Broadcasters Association Radio Host of the Year and addresses a ruling by the state elections commission that explicitly prevents registered Democrats who voted in their own primary from crossing over to vote in the upcoming Republican primary.

Central Pennsylvania is expected to experience a heat wave through Thursday.  A heat advisory goes into effect from noon to until eight tomorrow night.  Labor union members in Pennsylvania are showing their support for President Joe Biden's re-election campaign. The now defunct University of the Arts has multiple historic properties in Philadelphia's Center City. In the wake of the school's rapid collapse earlier this month, its looking to repay debts in a hurry and that could mean the properties hit the auction block soon. Pennsylvania is seeing lots of action targeting gaps in its vote-by-mail laws. The problem is that it's in the courtroom and not the legislature. That could make the most populous presidential swing state a hotbed of challenges and conspiracy theories if the November election is close, as expected.  A judge could soon decide on a trial date for a Pennsylvania man charged in the deaths of four University of Idaho students who were killed more than a year and a half ago. A Lancaster County native has picked up a Tony Award for best leading actor in a musical.

With the 2024 general election approaching, a wave of new voting laws is shaping the electoral landscape, continuing the trend from recent years. From January to May, six states, including Alabama and Idaho, passed restrictive laws that could significantly impact this year's elections.  According to the Brennan Center for Justice, these new laws criminalize certain forms of assistance with absentee voting, making it harder for many, particularly Black voters, elderly voters, and those with disabilities, to cast their ballots. In Alabama, for example, it's now a crime for anyone other than the voter to submit a mail ballot application, and providing assistance can result in severe penalties. Emerging technology issues, such as the use of deep fakes and AI, have also prompted new laws to combat disinformation. As states pile on new restrictions, it's crucial, however, for voters to stay informed and prepared. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this week's Political Breakfast, the team debates why it seems like there hasn't been a lot of fanfare leading up to Tuesday's primary election.

According to the Brennan Center for Justice, nearly half of U.S. states have enacted new voting laws ahead of the 2024 general election, many of which impose significant restrictions. Alabama, Arizona, Idaho, Indiana, and Tennessee have passed laws making voting harder, especially for Black and minority communities. Alabama has criminalized assisting with mail ballot applications, impacting elderly and disabled voters, while Indiana's law risks wrongly purging naturalized citizens from voter rolls. Another major concern is the rise of deepfakes and AI-generated disinformation, leading to new legislation aimed at protecting the integrity of elections. With voting access under threat and misinformation on the rise, Black voters must stay informed and vigilant as the election approaches. Eleven states have passed laws expanding voting access, such as easier absentee voting. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

MLB admits they were LIED to about Georgia Voting Laws! Returns ALL STAR Game to Atlanta in 2025!

On August 23, at least 5 GOP hopefuls for the party's presidential nomination will take to the stage in Milwaukee for their first primary debate. In other words, the 2024 election is about to get real.In this episode, Dan Richards talks with Wendy Schiller, professor of political science at Brown University and director of the Watson Institute's Taubman Center for American Politics and Policy, about where the race stands now, and what to expect in the coming months. They discuss why efforts to unseat Trump as the Republican frontrunner seem destined to backfire, and what it means for our country that a historically high percentage of American voters want neither Trump nor Biden to be president in 2024. In the second half of the show, Dan speaks with Othniel Harris, program manager of the Taubman Center, about a disturbing trend in U.S. politics that could have major implications for 2024 and beyond: the rash of restrictive voting laws passed in recent years in swing states around the country.

The Founder and President of Restoration PAC discusses the need for the Republican National Committee to move into the 21st century and modernize its approach to voting and what sort of party it is going to be. Doug Truax comments on the last two elections, which saw Democrats out-hustling Republicans on early voting says, that the mainstream of the Republican Party all believes that voters should be voting “as close to Election Day as possible, ballots in the mail are a bad idea. We all think that, and that's where we need to go to, but we can't get there if we don't win. And if we just keep losing elections, because we're not good at this new playing field that we're on, we're never going to make any change.” Truax says that the GOP needs “to have this conversation about this and say, look, we are going to have to chase ballots, we're going to have to make sure all of our people vote.” Using the example that, “if Aunt Sally can vote on a day, that's, a month and a half from the election, that's not ideal for us long term, but we got to make sure she goes and does it on that day. And then we got that box checked, she's voted.” Saying, “because you can see, even what happened in Maricopa County is, lo and behold, the system wasn't working great on election day, and people had to wait three hours and how many people do we lose?” Truax says that GOP only wanting to narrow itself to voting on Election Day and not trying to expand to mail-in-ballots, “is just asking for trouble.” Commenting, “if we narrow ourselves down to just this game that we currently want to play, and play that game. Well, that's not the real game that's being played, the real game is chase the ballots, get the votes in, everything is so quick, it's clearly divided, a lot of our elections are very close. So if we don't get this figured out, we are just going to keep losing.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Texas is one of 18 states that passed restrictive voting measures after the 2020 election.Last year, the state passed Senate Bill 1, a sweeping set of voting reforms that restricted voting hours, banned drive-thru voting, and set new photo ID requirements for voting by mail.Since then, Texas has held its March primary elections, revealing the results of the overhaul of the state's election laws. About 12 percent of mail-in ballots were rejected statewide according to the office of the secretary of state.We talk about how these changes are shaping up and what that could mean for voters nationwide.This conversation is part of our Remaking America collaboration with six public radio stations around the country, including KUT in Austin, Texas.
