Nearly 150,000 #MailBallots rejected in #California primary despite efforts to count every vote. Lawmakers concerned about #USPS #postmark changes. In January, a group of mostly Democratic US senators sent a letter to the USPS, alarmed that mail-processing changes might affect postmark dates for mail-in ballots during an #election year that will determine control of #Congress. #law #ElectionLaw #VoterSuppression https://apnews.com/article/california-primary-rejected-mail-ballots-voting-2291684fe4544cab2301f8965abc8f79

“Trump repeats baseless claims” The French view, from France24 English, of the #Trump speech last night… baseless claims indeed🤯 No evidence presented, just more #TrumpLies and bombast as the #Republicans ramp-up pre-election attacks and voter suppression. https://youtube.com/watch?v=JhYlY56UYBI&is=VKN-cG5cg23ty8jM #elections #Election2026 #ElectionInterference #TrumpRegime #USPol #USPolitics

https://www.ms.now/news/election-denial-activists-briefed-at-white-house-ahead-of-trumps-prime-time-speech The White House hosted about two dozen Trump-aligned activists this week ahead of President Donald Trump’s primetime address on the 2020 election. The session was convened by conservative lawyer Cleta Mitchell and attended by figures who have spent years promoting the conspiracy theories Trump has invoked in falsely claiming the race was “stolen” from him. #maga #electionDenial #Fascism #disinformation #propaganda #cletaMitchell #Trump #electionInterference

#Trump called for bolstering protections he himself dismantled. Trump has spent the first part of his 2nd term dismantling #election protections built up over previous years. The #FBI task force on foreign influence was shut down, the #ODNI sharply cut back a task force that warned against foreign meddling & #CISA has been gutted. And Trump has appointed an heir to a housing fortune with no relevant experience as interim DNI. #FactCheck #TrumpLies #law #midterms #ElectionInterference #BigLie

#Trump described allegations about voter interference in the 2020 vote. He said #China had bought, stolen or hacked tens of millions of voter data files across 18 states. And he attacked a “deep state” conspiracy that he said was aimed at suppressing the information. But US intelligence & congressional ofcls have long known that China obtained voter data—publicly available information often purchased by political campaigns. #FactCheck #TrumpLies #law #ElectionInterference #ConspiracyTheories

What’s more, former intelligence officials have said, #China gathered the data not to manipulate voting results, but instead to better craft influence campaigns to shape voters’ perceptions. While the documents outline some nascent interest by Chinese officials in influence operations, they concede Beijing never endorsed any broad-based effort to undercut #Trump. #FactCheck #TrumpLies #law #ElectionLaw #midterms #ElectionInterference #BigLie #ConspiracyTheories #VotingRights #elections

#Trump also referred to a report about #Venezuela showing it could successfully tamper with #VotingMachines. But documents posted by the White House featured an analysis by the #CIA last month that assessed intelligence collected over nearly two decades about the Venezuelan government’s ability to rig elections through voting machine tech. #FactCheck #TrumpLies #law #ElectionLaw #midterms #ElectionInterference #BigLie #ConspiracyTheories #VotingRights #elections

It found that officials there had “some capability in manipulating electronic voting systems” to influence outcomes of races IN VENEZUELA. But it cautioned that there was NO definitive evidence that such technology—chiefly created by a company called Smartmatic—had been used to commit “large-scale electronic fraud” in Venezuela, & determined that the Venezuelan government did NOT have the ability to rig #elections OUTSIDE ITS OWN COUNTRY. #FactCheck #TrumpLies #law #ElectionInterference

And, John Solomon, who is leading #Trump’s task force on declassifying documents on a range of issues, told reporters outside the White House that the intelligence community documents show NO EVIDENCE that votes in election machines were changed in the past three #elections. #FactCheck #TrumpLies #law #ElectionLaw #midterms #ElectionInterference #BigLie #ConspiracyTheories #VotingRights #USpol #WhiteSupremacy #coup #Jan6 #SeditiousConspiracy

The documents also do not contain any significant new revelations about vulnerabilities in #election systems. One of the documents posted on the White House website was blunt∶ “We assess that vote tabulation systems would be difficult to manipulate on a wide enough scale to compromise election results.” #FactCheck #TrumpLies #law #ElectionLaw #midterms #Trump #ElectionInterference #BigLie #ConspiracyTheories #VotingRights #elections #USpol #WhiteSupremacy #coup #Jan6 #SeditiousConspiracy

Now, of course, #Trump has restocked the leadership of intelligence agencies with people who frequently echo his often-debunked lies about #elections. After 24 minutes Trump ended his speech by urging passage of the SAVE Act. The bill, known as the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, requires documentary proof of #US #citizenship for anyone registering to vote—something #VotingRights groups warn could disenfranchise millions of Americans. #law #ElectionLaw #ElectionInterference #BigLie

Noncitizen voting is already illegal under federal #law & incredibly rare. All in all this was a great big nothing burger. #Trump #ElectionLaw #ElectionInterference #BigLie #ConspiracyTheories #VRA #USpol #Republicans #WhiteSupremacy #coup #Jan6 #SeditiousConspiracy

#Trump address ABC, NBC & CNN decided not to air the remarks live. CBS said it was “airing a special report” during the address. Trump began by repeating campaign-style boasts The White House has created a new website posting documents that Trump claims reveal major ‘areas of concerns’ in #election security. Trump made vague allegations including a rant against one of his favorite targets — “members of the deep state.” #law #ElectionLaw #ElectionInterference #BigLie #ConspiracyTheories

#Trump claimed that intelligence agencies covered up China’s attempt to disrupt US #elections. But Trump appointed the very people who led those intelligence agencies in 2020. Indeed, Trump was given the assessment from those agencies on Jan. 7, 2021, that no foreign country tried to change vote totals or fake ballots in the election. There’s no record of him objecting to the finding at the time. #law #ElectionLaw #ElectionInterference #BigLie #ConspiracyTheories #VotingRights #coup #Jan6

“Our country has to shape up,” #Trump said, calling it a “big announcement.” “It doesn’t get bigger,” he added, “because without free & fair elections, you don’t have a country.” #law #ElectionLaw #ElectionInterference #BigLie #ConspiracyTheories #VotingRights #VRA #elections #USpol #Republicans #WhiteSupremacy #coup #Jan6 #SeditiousConspiracy

#Trump says he will discuss #elections security & #VotingMachines in an address to the country Thursday night, a likely escalation in his gaslighting efforts to suggest that #US election results cannot be trusted. Trump has repeatedly described US voting systems as corrupt & vulnerable, despite the fact that he won 2 presidential elections.… #law #ElectionLaw #ElectionInterference #BigLie #ConspiracyTheories #VotingRights #VRA #USpol #coup #Jan6 #SeditiousConspiracy https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/07/16/us/trump-news#trump-speech-voting-elections

Mac Warner, an ally of #EdMartin & a former #Republican official from West Virginia, was assigned to investigate #election “fraud”. One email shows Warner spending several hours at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence [ #ODNI ] — an early signal of the expanded role the White House envisioned for the agency. #law #LegalEthics #DOJ #Trump #ToddBlanche #ElectionInterference #retribution
