Hummm…it would appear that the GOP is trying to cover all the loop holes in the cabal's cheating schemes. Remember all those ballots found in other countries?

Yet the one common denominator in these GOP fillings that 'others' are complaining about, are the ones for the swing states.

Coincidence? I think not.

 

Overseas Voters' Advocates Protest GOP Absentee Ballot Lawsuits

Americans living overseas, including active-duty members of the military and their families, say they're concerned about their voting rights after Republicans have filed lawsuits in three swing states in hopes of accepting and counting absentee ballots coming in from overseas.

 

"We are already hearing military voters from all states who feel discouraged from participating if they have concern that their ballot won't even be counted," Sarah Streyder, the executive director of the nonpartisan Secure Families Initiative, told reporters Friday, according to ABC News Saturday.

 

Streyder is in England, where her husband, a Space Force member, is stationed. She said that no matter how the lawsuits turn out, the damage is already done.

 

The lawsuits have been filed in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and North Carolina, where the Republican plaintiffs claim that there are loopholes in state laws that could allow people who are not eligible to cast absentee ballots overseas.

 

In Pennsylvania, the lawsuit was filed on Sept. 30 by GOP Reps. Guy Reschenthaler, Dan Meuser, Glenn Thompson, Lloyd Smucker, and Mike Kelly, all of whom are seeking reelection.

 

It accuses Al Schmidt, the secretary of the Commonwealth, and Deputy Secretary for Elections Jonathan Marks of telling local election offices not to allow ID requirements for foreign absentee voters.

 

They claim that the state's process would allow ineligible voters to register to vote without verification of identity, while still receiving a ballot by email.

 

The Pennsylvania Secretary of State's office said the lawsuit is "nothing more than an attempt to confuse and frighten people ahead of an important election," and that the state law ensures all overseas ballots sent out are to eligible people.

 

"Ballots cast by ineligible voters occur at extremely low rates and are routinely investigated and prosecuted by the appropriate authorities when they occur," the office said. "Individuals registering to vote must affirm that the information they submit is accurate, with any false statement subjecting them to a potential felony conviction, prison sentence, and substantial fine."

 

The Republican National Committee, meanwhile, filed lawsuits in North Carolina and Michigan last week, saying their rules violate federal laws and allow ex-pats to vote even if they never lived in those states.

 

They also allege that the states' election officials haven't created a secure verification system, calling out provisions that permit spouses or dependents of military or overseas voters to cast ballots based on the residency of the military member or voter.

 

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel filed briefs to dismiss the case, saying the RNC has no standing in its claims.

 

"Their actions are a clear attempt to sow doubt about the integrity of the election and suppress the legitimate votes of American citizens," Nessel said, adding that the absentee ballots have already been mailed out and that the RNC didn't file papers about its intention to sue, a violation of Michigan law.

 

Patrick Gannon, a spokesman for the North Carolina State Board of Elections, also said the suit is without merit and that state law that allows military family members to vote in North Carolina's elections was adopted 13 years ago.

 

There was no information in Pennsylvania about how many ballots have been requested for the general election. In Michigan, more than 22,000 overseas ballots have been requested, according to the Secretary of State's office. So far, almost 8,000 have been submitted.

 

In North Carolina, 8,451 absentee ballots have been requested by military members, and 20,571 ballots have been requested by civilians living overseas, said the State Board of Elections.

Cuba Suffers Third Major Setback in Restoring Power to Island, Millions Still in Dark

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/cuba/2024/10/20/id/1184746/

 

Cuba's efforts to restore power to the island were derailed for a third time late on Saturday, Cuban authorities said shortly before midnight, leaving millions in the dark and raising fresh questions over the viability of the government's bid to reestablish electrical service.

 

Cuba's national electrical grid first crashed around midday on Friday after the island's largest power plant shut down. The grid collapsed again on Saturday morning, state-run media reported.

 

By early evening, authorities reported some progress restoring power before announcing the grid had once again collapsed.

 

"Tonight at 10:25 p.m. the total disconnection of the national electro-energetic system occurred again," the Havana Electric company said on Telegram late on Saturday.

 

The post was later removed from the company's Telegram feed. It was not immediately clear why the post was removed, but millions were still without power on early on Sunday.

 

Cuba's energy ministry said shortly after the Havana Electric post that it was working to reestablish service, adding that "another disconnection" had occurred in the "western sub-system," which includes the capital Havana.

 

"The process of reestablishing the electrical system continues to be complex," the ministry said on X.

 

A third grid collapse marks a major setback in the government's efforts to quickly restore power to exhausted residents already suffering from severe food, medicine and fuel shortages.

 

Reuters reporters witnessed two small protests overnight, one in Marianao and the other in the Cuatro Caminos area of Havana. Various videos of protests elsewhere in the capital began to crop up on social media late on Saturday, though Reuters was not able to verify their authenticity.

 

Internet traffic dropped off sharply in Cuba on Saturday, according to data from internet monitoring group NetBlocks, as vast power outages made it all but impossible for most island residents to charge phones and get online.

 

"Network data show that Cuba remains largely offline as the island experiences a second nationwide power outage," Netblocks said on Saturday.

 

Even before the grid failures, a dire electricity shortfall on Friday had forced Cuba's Communist-run government to send non-essential state workers home and cancel school for children as it sought to conserve fuel for power generation.

 

The government has blamed weeks of worsening blackouts - as long as 10 to 20 hours a day across much of the island - on deteriorating infrastructure, fuel shortages and rising demand.

 

Cuba also blames the U.S. trade embargo, as well as sanctions instituted by then-President Donald Trump, for ongoing difficulties in acquiring fuel and spare parts to operate and maintain its oil-fired plants.

 

The U.S. has denied any role in the grid failures.

Report: Nikki Haley to Campaign with Trump at Upcoming Event

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/haley-trump-campaign/2024/10/19/id/1184699/

 

Former South Carolina governor and Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley is in discussions with the campaign of former President Donald Trump to join him at an upcoming event, the Bulwark first reported this week.

 

Trump and Haley have endured a tumultuous relationship after an initial honeymoon phase when Trump nominated Haley to be the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations in 2016. He subsequently called her "bird brain" during this year's presidential primary season when the pair were both running for the party's nomination. The two camps eventually mended fences and in March, Haley ended her campaign for president and endorsed Trump in July at the Republican National Convention.

 

Sources close to the discussions said that while “details and dates” have not been finalized, the camps have been discussing a town hall event toward the end of October. Trump and Haley have not appeared together since July and polling data indicates Trump’s main weak point among the electorate is his lack of appeal to suburban women. An in-person campaign event with Haley on stage could bring over some female voters who are hesitant about throwing their support behind Trump.

 

“We’re seeing Republican candidates struggle with women, and that includes Donald Trump,” the Republican operative close to the campain told CNN. “Haley helps with that.”

 

Haley has said while she still is hurt by some of Trump’s words, the larger issue of the future of the nation takes priority. “I don’t agree with Trump 100 percent of the time,” Haley said in her Sirius XM radio show in September.

 

“I have not forgotten what he said about me. I’ve not forgotten what he said about my husband or his, you know, deployment time or his military service. I haven’t forgotten about his or his campaign’s tactics from, you know, putting a bird cage outside our hotel room to calling me ‘bird brain,’” Haley said on her show, adding that she’s still for Trump because she thinks he “will make the country better.”

US Investigating Unauthorized Release of Classified Documents on Israel Attack Plans

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/israel-iran-us-documents-attack/2024/10/20/id/1184738/

 

The U.S. is investigating an unauthorized release of classified documents that assess Israel's plans to attack Iran, three U.S. officials told The Associated Press. A fourth U.S. official said the documents appear to be legitimate.

 

The documents are attributed to the U.S. Geospatial Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency and note that Israel continues to move military assets in place to conduct a military strike in response to Iran's blistering ballistic missile attack on Oct. 1. They were sharable within the “Five Eyes,” which are the U.S., Great Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.

 

The documents, which are marked top secret, were posted online to Telegram and first reported by CNN and Axios. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

 

The investigation is also examining how the documents were obtained — including whether it was an intentional leak by a member of the U.S. intelligence community or obtained by another method, like a hack — and whether any other intelligence information was compromised, one of the officials said. As part of that investigation, officials are working to determine who had access to the documents before they were posted, the official said.

 

The documents emerged as the U.S. has urged Israel to take advantage of its elimination of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and press for a ceasefire in Gaza, and has likewise urgently cautioned Israel not to further expand military operations in the north in Lebanon and risk a wider regional war. However, Israel's leadership has repeatedly stressed it will not let Iran's missile attack go unanswered.

 

In a statement, the Pentagon said it was aware of the reports of the documents but did not have further comment.
