People Go To The Polls On First Day Of Early Voting In Texas Texas election officials have rejected a few hundred mail-in ballot applications out of thousands, but Reuters is trying to frame the story as proof of Republican voter suppression.
“Texas election officials have rejected hundreds of mail-in ballot applications, abiding by a new Republican-backed law just weeks before a March 1 primary kicks off this year’s U.S. election cycle,” the outlet reported on Tuesday.
By “just weeks,” the outlet means “more than a month,” which should be plenty of time for the small number of people to correct identification errors on their mail-in ballot applications.
The second paragraph of the article is a quote from Travis County clerk Dana DeBeauvoir, a Democrat, insisting that “this is what voter suppression looks like.”
Travis County, Texas, rejected 300 mail-in ballot applications due to a recent state law requiring stricter identification. The law requires those applying for a mail-in ballot to provide their driver’s license number or Social Security number for identification. This number must match the number provided when they first registered to vote. The majority of ballot application rejections are because people failed to provide a proper ID number.
Some people have run into problems because they may have provided one number when registering to vote but another when applying for a mail-in ballot. Such an error would be caught but would be easily corrected before election day. If not, registered voters are still able to vote in person as they had been able to do in every election before 2020.
“Harris County, which includes Houston, had rejected 409 out of 1,373 applications as of last Friday for ID problems, including 309 missing ID numbers and 173 with numbers that did not match those on file, according to Leah Shah, a spokesperson for the […]
Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
