Election Insider is a must-read for anyone seeking the truth in a sea of political bias, spin, and deception.
Get ready for 7 little-known revelations in this week’s Election Insider.
- Abortion: Top Issue For The Democrats?
Abortion is Biden and the Democrat State Candidates’ Top Issue. They identify who is pro-abortion and message them in their Get-Out-The-Vote Effort (GOTV).
For example, the super House majority PAC supporting Democrats’ effort to win back the House majority is launching a $100 million fund focused only on abortion rights.
In a printed memo to donors, the House Majority PAC outlined the Reproductive Freedom Accountability Fund, which it said will be used for advertising and voter mobilization in swing districts nationwide.
- Reality: What Did Nikki Haley Say In Her Endorsement To Donald Trump?
The Biden campaign and social media distort what Nikki Haley said in her recent surprise endorsement of Donald Trump.
Her endorsement has several surprises, including the first that Donald Trump was not with her when she spoke.
What did she say?
“I will be voting for Trump.”
“Having said that, I stand by what I said in my suspension speech. Trump would be smart to reach out to the millions of people who voted for me and continue to support me, not assume that they will just be with him, and I genuinely hope he does that.”
Haley said her choice for president is “a president who would support capitalism and freedom” and “a president who understands we need less debt, not more debt.” While acknowledging that “Trump has not been perfect on these policies,” she said, “Biden has been a catastrophe.”
Haley dropped out of the Presidential race on March 6, one day after Super Tuesday.
- Stopping Election Fraud: GOP-Led States Ban DOJ “Election Monitors”
Many Republican-led states are banning the U.S. Department of Justice “election monitors” from entering polling sites in their states during the upcoming elections.
The ideologically driven bureaucracy sent “election monitors” to various states in the 2022 midterms… blocking local election voter integrity efforts.
So far, ten states have said that the DOJ legal bureaucrats are prohibited from observing the polls.
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, South Dakota, Texas, and West Virginia all said that the DOJ “election monitors” will not be allowed to enter polling sites in their states on Election Day this year.
Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft said: “The United States Department of Justice has been the world’s largest purveyor of election disinformation for the last several years. I was happy to lead the fight against their presence in polling places in 2022, and nothing has changed.”
- Trump’s Super PAC For Content Creators
Former President Donald Trump’s Super PAC is launching a website for “content creators” on TikTok and other social media. The company provides videos, talking points, clips, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to create scripts for the creators. The new website (“Content Creator’s War Room”) can be seen at campaignwarroom.com.
There will be fact sheets on Trump’s accomplishments and the failure of Joe Biden’s presidency.
- Elise Stefanik: A Legal Complaint Filed To New York
New York Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (a potential Trump VP pick) filed “an official misconduct complaint with the New York State Unified Court System related to the ‘random’ assignment of Acting Manhattan Justice Juan Merchan… to criminal cases against President Donald J. Trump, his companies, and his allies.”
Stefanik highlights that Merchan has been assigned to not one, not two, but three separate criminal cases involving Trump and his associates.
She said, “If justices were indeed being randomly assigned in the Criminal Term,” says Stefanik, “the probability of two specific criminal cases being assigned to the same justice is quite low, and the probability of three specific criminal cases being assigned to the same justice is infinitesimally small.
- CBO Flawed Projections: Trump vs Biden Key Election Talking Point
President Biden says, “Donald Trump was very proud of his $2 trillion tax cut… That tax cut is going to expire. If I’m re-elected, it’s going to stay expired.”
Biden’s $2 trillion shortfall claim is not true. It’s based on the Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO) flawed projection of 2017 before the tax cuts.
Indeed, the CBO projections are usually flawed and based on their assumptions… and faulty economic ideas.
Rather than costing the federal government $1.7 trillion in tax revenue, the Trump tax cuts are currently projected to generate $1.3 trillion more than what the CBO projected higher tax rates would have generated.
In the six years for which we have actual data (2018-2023), tax revenue is already $1 trillion ahead of the CBO’s 2018 estimate. As for another Biden’s claim – that those tax cuts benefited “the biggest corporations” – over the last three years, actual corporate tax revenues have been the highest ever and have exceeded CBO’s 2018 projections by nearly $150 billion.
In 2018, the CBO projected that federal revenue would average 16.9% of GDP between 2021 and 2023. It has averaged 17.9%, well above CBO’s 2018 projection and the 50-year average of 17.4%.
Reporting on the CBO estimates for 2022, the Cato Institute stated that in 2022, “income tax revenue was 32% higher than CBO projected following the 2017 tax cuts, in April 2018. Similarly, payroll and corporate tax revenue outpaced the estimate by 6% and 20%, respectively.”
In that order, 2022, 2023, and 2021 hold the records for the federal government’s three highest revenue years – ever – with each year coming in above $4 trillion. It’s the Laffer Curve in action – reduce tax rates and increase economic growth and tax revenue.
First, the TCJA will result in at least a $1.3 trillion increase in tax revenue rather than a “$2 trillion tax cut,” as Biden falsely claims.
The Federal government has a spending problem, not a revenue problem. Increasing tax rates – or allowing the Trump tax cuts to expire as Biden has promised – will not solve the problem. They will only exacerbate it.
- Court Election Victories, One Defeat
The Supreme Court reversed a lower court’s ruling that the Republican-drawn map violated the rights of Black voters under the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment, which guarantees equal protection under the law.
The 6-3 decision read that the Republican-controlled state legislature did nothing wrong during redistricting.
A lower court had ordered South Carolina to redraw the district after it found that the state used race as a proxy for partisan affiliation in violation of the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.
In writing for the court, Justice Samuel Alito criticized lower-court judges for their “misguided approach” that refused to presume that lawmakers acted in good faith and gave too much credit to the challengers.
The South Carolina legal fight centered on a map adopted in 2022 by the Republican-led state legislature that redrew the boundaries of one of the state’s seven U.S. House districts.
A federal three-judge panel in January 2023 ruled that the map unlawfully sorted voters by race and deliberately split up Black neighborhoods in Charleston County in a “stark racial gerrymander.”
Gerrymandering is a practice involving the manipulation of the geographical boundaries of electoral districts to marginalize a certain set of voters and increase the influence of others. In this case, the state legislature was accused of racial gerrymandering to reduce the influence of Black voters, who tend to favor Democratic candidates.
The boundaries of legislative districts across the country are redrawn to reflect population changes measured by the census conducted by the U.S. government every decade. In most states, redistricting is done by the party in power.
The Supreme Court on May 15 restored a newly drawn Louisiana electoral map that includes two black-majority U.S. House districts rather than the one present in a previous version. The justices temporarily halted a lower court’s decision by throwing out the new map, allowing its use in this year’s election.
Alabama, in which the court ruled last year, the Republican lawmakers diluted Black voters’ political power under the landmark Voting Rights Act by drawing just one district with a majority Black population. The court’s decision led to a new map with a second district where Democratic-leaning Black voters comprise a substantial portion of the electorate.
