President Trump pardons Tina Peters! I'm not sure how that works since she was facing state charges, not federal. But we'll take it! Let's see how this all plays out... Congratulations Tina!

I hope you are all gearing up for the legislative session! Watch for new bills, testify when appropriate. (Verbal or in person is most effective) Talk to friendly legislators to get good election bills introduced. Fight the bad bills. You know the drill.

You may recall me talking about the Seattle Mayor race last month. I finally got some data from the county. Here is the running vote totals from beginning to end.

The University of Washington is still monitoring for "election disinformation"

The only reason to monitor is to censor.

There are lots of ways to cheat in an election. From today's Texas Minute:

Husband & Wife Run for Same Office in Llano County

In Llano County, a husband and wife are running against each other for the same commissioner seat, turning a battle over the public library system into a family affair.

Robert Little, running as a Republican, and Democrat Leila Green Little are both challenging longtime Precinct 4 Commissioner Jerry Don Moss (R), who has served nearly 20 years on the Llano County Commissioners Court. According to Moss, the center of this challenge is the Llano County library system. He wants to keep what he calls "dirty books" out of children's hands; the Littles, on the other hand, oppose his efforts.

The Littles did not respond to Texas Scorecard’s request for comment about the unusual nature of their political operation.

Jessica McRee-Grabert, the Llano County GOP chairwoman, confirmed that both Moss and Robert Little met all the criteria to be on the March Republican primary ballot but declined to comment on either. The Democrats' county chair, Richard Day, described the Littles as "wonderful people" who "would be an enormous improvement over the incumbent."

So, two Democrats are challenging a Republican; one of them as a "Republican." Gotcha.

Sydnie Henry has the head-scratching story.

Clay Parikh is a national hero!

And his historic testimony from Arizona got Trump's attention on Christmas this year.

Clay worked at the national testing labs testing 13 different election vendors for over 9 years and came out after 2020 as a whistleblower on how vulnerable the voter machines were.

No one on this planet has more expertise on cyber security as it relates to these machines than he does and he joined the ranks of election integrity to help bring justice for 2020 as well as secure our nation's future for our children and grandchildren.

Truly honored to have met him and get to work with him over the years.

And Mr. Parikh is a legit bad ass since he was Marine hand-to-hand combat instructor. 😎

The Dallas County Republican Party abandoned plans Tuesday to hand-count tens of thousands of ballots on primary day in March, saying it could not line up enough workers to carry out the manual tally.

County GOP chief Allen West acknowledged the staffing shortfall after weeks of planning, reversing a push that would have made Dallas County the nation’s largest jurisdiction to attempt a manual ballot count.

The decision halts a plan driven by GOP skepticism of county voting machines, even as research shows hand counting takes longer, costs more and increases the risk of error.

“When you can’t get the personnel that means you are not going to be able to count in the right amount of time and that would put election judges in a bad situation,” West said.

He said the party raised more than $420,000 to fund the effort, which would not have applied to early voting. But as of Tuesday it had recruited only half of the 3,000 workers needed to conduct the labor-intensive hand count on primary day March 3.

Texas law requires vote totals to be submitted to the state 24 hours after polls close on an Election Day, setting up a herculean task with 49,000 ballots expected to be cast on that day alone based on past voter turnout.

The reversal comes as the Dallas County Elections Department was working to finalize contracts with the Republican and Democratic parties for managing their separate primaries. Elections Administrator Paul Adams told the Commissioners Court on Dec. 16 that he wanted the contracts in place by Dec. 20.

With that deadline passed, West said he intends to finalize the contract with the county on Wednesday.

“It was a great effort and I thank all the people that supported the effort, but if I can use a military term from World War II, sometimes you don’t want to go a bridge too far,” said West, a retired Army lieutenant colonel. “I don’t think we had the time to find the additional volunteers.”

How the GOP hand-count plan unraveled

September: Dallas County Republicans voted to pursue hand-counting ballots for the March 3 GOP primary, citing distrust of voting machines.
The pitch: Party chairman Allen West cast the move as a transparency push, even as election experts warned hand counts are slower, costlier and more error-prone.
The hurdle: The plan required a separate, precinct-based election and 3,000 trained workers to count Republican ballots on Election Day.
The logistics: Party leaders said they raised enough money for the hand count but struggled to recruit enough workers.
Now: The GOP has dropped the plan, ending what would have been the largest hand-count effort in the country.

In case you missed it: Pierce County Sheriff goes SCORTCHED EARTH on WA Senate Democrats. They want to take away the peoples voice and appoint sheriffs instead of allowing the people to elect them.

24 states refuse to share the Social Security Numbers associated to their Voter Roll Registrations because they claim they're protecting your Social Security Number and "Privacy"

You know...The same federal government that already has your social security number and asks for it on nearly every federal form as proof of identification. 🤡

For having the most secure election system in the world, a lot of states seems awfully reluctant sharing the data that would essential prove that.

Even after paying for the ~$1,500 for the state's voter rolls in so-called deep red state of Texas, we have been waiting for the voter rolls since September 2025....that's 5 months now.

We have states that let anyone register to vote...even up to the last minute. We have states that let you vote without an sort of photo ID.

I our own work, we clearly see not even a hint of concern from elections officals to get the mailing address right.

Kind of odd the offices will just copy in whatever is entered on the form...even if you put "ON DA MOON" as your address and at the same time ask you to sign up to vote by mail.

And yet, we will be gaslit by Secretary of States as well as local political and election officials that its "cOsPiRaCy ThEoRy" talk to even suggust there is something wrong with elections.
