Harris Concedes Election to Trump, Pledges to Help Him With Transition

Image
  Vice President Kamala Harris addressed her supporters and the nation at her alma mater Howard University in Washington, D.C. Wednesday afternoon, where she publicly conceded the race to former President Donald Trump. Harris – the 60-year-old former California Attorney General and U.S. senator currently serving as vice president – called for loyalty to the U.S. Constitution and the peaceful transition of power in her speech. She clearly conceded the race and pledged to help former President Donald Trump with the transition. “My heart is full today, full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me, full of love for our country and full of resolve,” Harris said to begin her remarks. “The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for, but hear me when i say the light of America’s promise will always burn bright as long as we never give up and as long as we keep fighting.” Harris thanked her family, supporters, her team, Pre

Image
Incumbent Sen. Tammy Baldwin defeated Republican challenger Eric Hovde in a race declared Wednesday afternoon. Baldwin held a lead of 28,958 votes with 49.38% of the vote to Hovde’s 48.52%. “The voters have spoken and our campaign has won,” Baldwin wrote on social media. “Wisconsinites chose someone who always puts them first, shows up, listens, and works with everyone to get the job done. I'm proud to head back to the Senate to keep fighting for our workers, farmers, and families that make our state great.” Wisconsinites chose someone who always puts them first, shows up, listens, and works with everyone to get the job done. I'm proud to head back to the Senate to keep fighting for our workers, farmers, and families that make our state great. If the difference remains less than 1%, Hovde will automatically qualify for a re-count. After the unofficial tallies are done, a canvas must be complete and filed by Nov. 19. Then Hovde would have three days from the time the

Tammy Baldwin Pulls Ahead Because of Democratic Plant, Facebook Censorship

Image
Facebook even removed a reader's post that said, "Vote for Hovde!" labeling it spam. Leftist Democrat Tammy Baldwin has pulled ahead by just over 27,000 votes in a state, benefiting from a despicable Democratic trick on voters that she never repudiated, as well as aggressive censorship by Facebook against Republican businessman Eric Hovde, which ramped up as the election tightened. Facebook blatantly - and outrageously - interfered in the close Wisconsin race for U.S. Senate by repeatedly removing a Wisconsin Right Now news story that alerted voters about an "America First" candidate, Thomas Leader, who was recruited by Democrats in a deceptive attempt to defeat Hovde. As of 8 a.m. on 11/6, Leager had more than 28,000 votes, according to the Associated Press - more than Baldwin's margin of victory. She had declared victory. Hovde has not yet conceded. The Associated Press first exposed the fact that Leager was recruited by Democrats who were h

Wisconsin Approves Constitution Change to Prevent Noncitizen Voting

Image
Wisconsin voters approved a state constitution change requiring someone to be a citizen to vote in elections. The ballot measure had 75% approval with more than 95% of the statewide voted tallied. Currently, the Wisconsin constitution states that "Every United States citizen age 18 or older who is a resident of an election district" is a qualified voter; the ballot proposal would replace the phrase “every United States citizen” with “only a United States citizen.” The ballot measure comes as leaders across the state called for a process for the state to check its voter rolls for noncitizens and remove them, ensuring election integrity in the state. Currently, election commissions cannot check their rolls with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation to ensure an estimated 90,000 individuals who are currently legally in the state, who can get a drivers license, do not register to vote. Several voting groups across the state spoke out against the ballot measure,

Why Trump Won Wisconsin

Image
On Tuesday morning, before the polls closed, we wrote a story called "15 Reasons Trump Will Win Wisconsin." We talked to literally hundreds of Wisconsin voters this election season, all over the state. As Wisconsin's leading conservative news site and Wisconsinites ourselves, we have a close sense of the pulse of this state. And win, Trump did. Wisconsin ended up putting him over the electoral map victory threshold, sending an ecstatic U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson and Wisconsin GOP Chair Brian Schimming to the podium at the Ingleside Hotel in Waukesha, where Johnson noted that the immigration chart he gave Trump saved his life, so it was fitting that Wisconsin put Trump over. Our columnist, Terrence Wall, also wrote a column about why Trump would win. Read it here. Johnson and Schimming deserve a lot of credit for Trump's Wisconsin victory. And the crowd in Waukesha loved them for it, as they mixed with regular folks in the crowd until well past midnight. Wiscons

The seals were discovered broken on multiple tabulator machines this afternoon at Milwaukee’s Central Count, Milwaukee GOP Chairman Hilario Deleon told WRN. “The seals are broken,” Deleon said. “It’s a huge red flag. It should not have happened.” [caption id="attachment_310479" align="alignleft" width="300"] Hilario Deleon[/caption] He said Paulina Gutierrez, Milwaukee Election Commission Executive Director resealed the machines with Deleon watching as an election observer. “She looked like she was going to have a nervous breakdown,” Deleon said of Gutierrez, when she learned of the seal issue. “She was very transparent. She said, ‘We have to fix this right away.’” Jefferson Davis, a #GOP election observer at #Milwaukee Central Count, told #Wisconsin Right Now that he personally observed the seals. He said that 13 machines were affected. Davis said he was told Milwaukee won’t have its absentee ballots counted now until 2 or 3 a.m. H
