COMMENTARY AND OP-EDS
Lesson of the Kobayashi Maru
It is time we understand the program and seek to reprogram it so that we can have fair elections and restore the confidence of Americans in the system.
When Voting Was Easy
We have gone from a process that was relatively simple, easy, and disruption-free, to a time when we are now told you don't get results for a week.
Von Spakovsky: Poll Observers Are Essential to Honest Elections
There is a reason the U.S. State Department and organizations like the Carter Center routinely send teams of American observers to fledgling democracies all over the world: they recognize that transparency is essential to ensuring honest elections. That requires observers to be able to watch every aspect of the voting and ballot-counting process without being intimidated or interfered with.
Von Spakovsky: Republican National Committee Targets Google’s Censorship in Lawsuit
After enduring years of targeted censorship, the Republican National Committee is suing Google for its bulk-labeling of millions of RNC campaign email communications to its supporters and donors as “spam” during “pivotal points in election cycles.”
Von Spakovsky: The Latest Election Myth Pushed by the Left
For years, liberal activists—with the assistance of their corporate media allies—have been pushing the myth that there is a wave of “voter suppression” going on across the country. As the record registration and turnout numbers in recent elections prove, as well as their numerous losses in litigation show, this is a false claim created by opponents of commonsense election reforms like voter ID.
Our Constitutional Republic Still Stands
Yesterday y'all proved that you don't have to have served in uniform to support and defend our Constitutional Republic . . . you just have to be a true American patriot.
Our Constitutional Republic still Stands
Howdy, y'all; it is the day after November 8th, and guess what? The world did not come to an end. Furthermore, we did not experience the end of democracy. First, let's have a short little lesson in civics, America is not a democracy. America is a constitutional Republic. We have [...]

Election Integrity
The American Constitutional Rights Union (ACRU) will have a webinar this evening on the subject of election integrity.
The Playground of Incompetents
The progressive socialist left -- aka the Democrat Party -- had a very bad week. One can only conclude that the left resembles a playground of incompetents.
Von Spakovsky: Election Integrity and the American Republic
Election integrity and voter fraud have become so controversial that even if you try to discuss them rationally and reasonably, and cite incontrovertible evidence, you will likely be banned by social media platforms and labelled a conspiratorial vote suppressor by the major media organizations that dominate our airwaves.
Von Spakovsky: Judge Rebukes DOJ for ‘Overbroad’ Subpoena of Conservative Group
On Sept. 20, we reported on an outrageous subpoena served by the U.S. Justice Department on the Eagle Forum of Alabama. Fortunately, in the face of vigorous opposition expressed in amicus briefs filed by literally dozens of conservative organizations supporting the Eagle Forum’s motion to quash (i.e., throw out) the subpoena, Justice Department lawyers caved and narrowed their request—as the judge in the case put it—to “1%” of what they were demanding before.
The Constitutional Case for Impeaching Joe Biden
If our rule of law is meaningless, then the consent of the governed is replaced by the rule of tyranny
The Progressive Socialist War on American Children
The time has come that we -- as constitutional conservatives and Republicans -- stop playing this absurd adherence to Marquis de Quisenberry’s rules. It is imperative to understand the strategy, goals, plans, and objectives of the radical leftists and Marxists; that is why I have a copy of Saul Alinsky's [...]
Lawlessness and Mobocracy
Progressive socialists, leftists, fascists, Marxists, and communists always employ and deploy an organized mob to do their bidding.
The American Stasi State
The midterm elections will determine whether or not our constitutional republic survives, or the American Stasi state expands.
17th Amendment weakened balance of power between states, federal government
As we head toward the 2022 elections, it is a safe bet that few Americans can identify the 17th Amendment to the Constitution, even though it’s one of the most significant amendments. Ratified on April 8, 1913, it completely changed the balance of power in our federal system.The amendment provided for the direct popular election of U.S. senators. That sounds non-controversial now, but it meant taking the power away from state legislatures that were originally given the authority to choose the senators representing their state in Section 3 of Article I of the Constitution.
Restoring the Constitutional Relationship
America is not a democracy, it is a Constitutional Republic. Sadly, we must keep hammering that point home.
The Collapsing Pillars of American Security
The foundation of the longest-running Constitutional Republic that the world has ever known is rooted in our rule of law, the American Constitution.
Supreme Court Examines Whether Alabama’s Congressional Districts Violate Voting Rights Act
Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which took center stage Tuesday during oral arguments at the Supreme Court, prohibits a state from imposing a “standard, practice, or procedure” that “results in a denial or abridgement of the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color … .” Courts have found that states violate this provision when they draw new legislative districts that dilute the voting power of minority voters by either packing as many of these voters as possible into a single district or by splitting these voters among various other districts—practices known as “packing” and “cracking” voters.
