Minnesota Republicans Want to Ban a Voting System That Gives Third-Party Candidates a Leg Up
Post Date: 2018-03-19 07:24:54 by Ada
2 Comments
Lawmakers in Minnesota introduced legislation last week that would prohibit local governments from adopting ranked-choice voting, a system that can help third-party candidates’ chances for election and lead to a more representative government. The bill, introduced on March 12, would have the greatest impact in Minneapolis, which has used ranked-choice voting for municipal elections since 2013. The city has since then elected a Green Party city council member, and it currently has a nearly equal number of men and women on city council and the most ethnically diverse set of lawmakers in its history. Just last year, a well-funded socialist was a viable candidate in a city council ...
Putin Says That Jews 'With Russian Citizenship' May be Behind U.S. Election Meddling

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Jews may be behind alleged meddling in the U.S. presidential election. In an interview broadcast late Friday, Putin was asked by NBC's Megyn Kelly whether he condoned the electoral interference by 13 Russians named in an indictment by Special Counsel Robert Mueller. “Maybe they are not even Russians but Ukrainians, Tatars or Jews, but with Russian citizenship, which should also be checked; maybe they have dual citizenship of a green card; maybe the U.S. paid them for this. How can you know that? I do not know either,” he said. He said he was indifferent to the indictment. "It's all the same to me. To me it absolutely ...
“RussiaGate” is simply an extension of Hillary Clinton’s campaign

Apparently, Mrs. Clinton is unwilling to lose, but the allegations that are now held as RussiaGate were visible during the campaign at least as far back as the GOP convention This woman is still running for President in the 2016 election... at least if the media narrative gives any indication. The great thing about Internet archives is that they leave a data trail for anyone who wants to follow it. And while news and opinion revolves around attempt after attempt to implicate President Donald Trump for some sort of collusion or treasonous activity with President Vladimir Putin of Russia, everyone in the mainstream press (this includes Fox News) has taken advantage of – or ignored ...

Judge Nap Reveals ‘Treasure Trove’ Of Info Going To Mueller That Has All Of DC Running Scared Fox News reports that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is reportedly looking into whether the United Arab Emirates bought political influence via ties to the Trump campaign. Judge Andrew Napolitano lays out all the facts you need to know about the Mueller investigation. According to the New York Times, Mueller’s investigators have interviewed George Nader, a businessman who advised UAE leaders and visited the White House frequently last year. Critics have immediately called out Mueller for seeming to go beyond the original scope of his investigation into Russian election ...
The New Surveillance State and the Old Perjury Trap

A significant number of Trump's people were electronically monitored by a Democratic administration—many "by accident." We now know that a significant number of people affiliated with Donald Trump were surveilled during and after the 2016 campaign, some under warrants, some via “inadvertent” or accidental surveillance. That surveillance is now being used against these individuals in perjury cases, particularly to press them to testify against others, and will likely form the basis of Robert Mueller’s eventual action against the president himself. How did the surveillance state become so fully entrenched in the American political process? Better yet, how ...

PressTV... The Governor of the US state of Ohio John Kasich says the two-party system that has dominated US politics for over a century might be nearing its end. “We may be beginning to see the end of a two-party system,” Kasich, a Republican, told ABC News on Sunday. "I'm starting to really wonder if we are going to see a multiparty system at some point in the future in this country because I don't think either party is answering people's deepest concerns and needs.” The governor, who ran a failed bid Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential primaries, said the Republican Party was his "vehicle" and not his "master." However, asked ...
Top Ten Signs the US Is the Most Corrupt Nation in the World

Don’t tell the global South how corrupt they are for taking a few petty bribes. Americans are not seen as corrupt because we only deal in the big denominations. Steal $2 trillion and you aren’t corrupt, you’re respectable. Those ratings that castigate Afghanistan and some other poor countries as hopelessly “corrupt” always imply that the United States is not corrupt. This year’s report from Transparency International puts the US on a par with Austria, which is ridiculous. All kinds of people from politicians to businessmen would go to jail in Austria today if they engaged in practices that are quite common in the US. While it is true that you don’t ...
Does Mueller Indictment Mean Clinton Campaign Can Be Indicted for Chris Steele?

Special Counsel Robert Mueller indicted foreign citizens for trying to influence the American public about an election because those citizens did not register as a foreign agent nor record their financial expenditures to the Federal Elections Commission. By that theory, when will Mueller indict Christopher Steele, FusionGPS, PerkinsCoie, the DNC and the Clinton Campaign? Mueller’s indictment against 13 Russian trolls claimed their social media political activity was criminal because: they were foreign citizens; they tried to influence an election; and they neither registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act nor reported their funding to the Federal Elections Commission. ...

“Our democracy is only as good as people trust the results,” former President George W. Bush declared in a presumably well-paid speech last week in the United Arab Emirates, a notorious Arab dictatorship. Bush is being exalted as if he is the second coming of George Washington thanks to his implied slams against the Trump administration. But Bush’s actions during his eight year reign did far more to ravage democracy at home and abroad than most people realize. Thanks to gushing media coverage, Bush is enjoying one of the greatest comebacks in modern American history. In the summer of 2008, only 22 percent of Americans approved of Bush and 41 percent said he was the ...

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Still Can’t Get Over Hillary Clinton’s Defeat by Donald Trump By Joe Setyon February 12, 2018 at 7:13am Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg thinks Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 presidential election in part due to “sexism” and a prevailing “macho atmosphere.” During an interview Sunday with CNN host Poppy Harlow, Ginsburg discussed a wide variety of topics, including gender equality, the First Amendment and the 2016 election cycle. Not only was it “difficult” for Clinton to overcome widespread “sexism,” but the former secretary of state also faced criticisms that no man would have been forced to endure, ...

During an interview Saturday with MSNBC host and conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt, Priebus noted that during Trump’s presidential campaign, he and others would often advise the controversial candidate to more carefully consider what he should and should not post to Twitter. “I would be the guy, ‘Don’t tweet this. Do tweet that. Don’t this, don’t that.’ And others chimed in, even the first ...

You don’t need any special analytical abilities to understand “the memo” and its meaning. A simple reading reveals that allegations of skullduggery by the Obama administration during the presidential campaign were entirely accurate: the memo just filled us in on the details. And while the debate has largely been over whether the proper legal procedures were followed by the FBI and administration officials in spying on Carter Page – someone only marginally connected to the Trump campaign – the real question is: why were they sneaking around Page at all? Oh, he claimed to be an “informal advisor” to the Russian government: he had business interests in ...

Presidents Elected Without Winning the Popular Vote Donald Trump gives his acceptance speech after losing the popular vote by 2.9 million votes. Mark Wilson/Getty Images by Martin Kelly Updated October 03, 2017 Five presidents took office without winning the popular vote. In other words, they did not receive a plurality in terms of the popular vote. They were elected, instead, by the electoral college or in the case of John Quincy Adams by the House of Representatives after a tie in the electoral votes. They were: John Quincy Adams who lost by 44,804 votes to Andrew Jackson in 1824 Rutherford B. Hayes who lost by 264,292 votes to Samuel J. Tilden in 1876 Benjamin Harrison who lost by ...

“All the News That’s Fit to Print” proclaims the masthead of the New York Times. “Democracy Dies in Darkness,” echoes the Washington Post. “The people have a right to know,” the professors at Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism hammered into us in 1962. “Trust the people,” we were admonished. Explain then this hysteria, this panic in the press over the release of a four-page memo detailing one congressional committee’s rendering of how Trump-hate spawned an FBI investigation of Republican candidate and President Donald Trump. What is the press corps afraid of? For it has not ceased keening and caterwauling that this memo ...

PressTV... Billionaire investor and Democratic backer Tom Steyer has stepped up his campaign to impeach Republican US President Donald Trump, and says he will inject $30 million into Democrats' efforts to regain control of Congress. Steyer started the "Need to Impeach" initiative in October last year with an advertisement calling on Americans to pressure their representatives in Congress to vote the president out of office. The campaign now has 4.1 million signatures. Steyer, who has spent tens of millions of dollars on political campaigns and grassroots voter outreach since 2016, said he is trying to mobilize young voters and flip enough Republican seats to put the House ...

Kansas Secretary of State and gubernatorial candidate Kris Kobach says the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity will be “handed off” to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to “more effectively” investigate voter fraud without being “stonewalled” by Democrats. In an interview with Breitbart News, Kobach said the news that President Trump is dissolving the voter fraud commission should not be grounds for leftist organizations and Democrats — who sought to stop the investigations into double voting and ballots cast by non-citizens — to celebrate, as the investigations will continue under DHS. “What’s happening is a ...
