Presidential Election News

President Joe Biden returned the morning of Nov. 3 to a nation that no longer supports him or his party. Virginia, which he carried 55% to 44% in 2020, has elected Republican Glenn Youngkin as governor, Republicans for lieutenant governor and attorney general, and recaptured a majority in the House of Delegates. Even more startlingly,…

No means no. From the White House to school boards across America, voters on Tuesday screamed at Democrats: “No!” to reckless spending, meddlesome bureaucrats, bear hugs for criminals, racial fetishism in classrooms and beyond, soaring energy prices, a monthly average of 179,779 illegal aliens invading the southern “border” on President Joe Biden’s watch, and much…

Common sense prevailed in Minneapolis on Tuesday. The city won’t replace police officers with social workers after all. Minneapolis’ ballot Question 2, which would have eliminated the city’s police department and replaced it with a “Department of Public Safety,” went down in flames. It lost by a wide margin—nearly 17,700 votes—despite the huge amount of…

Liberal special interests have effective control of many municipal governments and government arms. The most notable case is school boards. The teachers union’s endorsement frequently determines the winner of school board races. The endorsed board members do the union’s bidding, as school closures and eternal mask mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrate. Liberal partisans see…

It’s pretty fitting that voters elected Glenn Youngkin as governor of Virginia on the same night that the Atlanta Braves won the World Series. Youngkin focused largely on public schools in his campaign, with parents outraged over leftist curricula. His victory over Democrat Terry McAuliffe can be seen as a triumph over the woke revolution….

Editor's note: Here's a sampling of your responses to some of The Daily Signal's recent coverage, gleaned from the mailbag at [email protected].—Ken McIntyre Dear Daily Signal: Regarding Fred Lucas’ article, mail-in voting is an invitation to cheat, period (“15 Million Votes in 2020 Election Not Accounted For, Report Finds”). It was not necessary to institute…

The House Rules Committee voted Monday on rules governing debate on election legislation known as HR 4, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. The controversial bill now goes to the House for a vote.  After Democrats failed to pass HR 1, a partisan piece of election legislation, they crafted HR 4, which Heritage Foundation…

Politicians in Washington are trying to impose a federal takeover of elections and force changes to state laws that would allow for greater fraud and tampering. You’ve helped sound the alarm about the so-called For the People Act, or HR 1. Now, with opposition mounting, politicians have a new plan they hope to ram through…

Earlier this month, when I heard that the Supreme Court had struck down a lawsuit claiming that Arizona’s election laws were a form of racist voter suppression, I happened to be standing where civil rights leaders long ago gathered to talk about the very issue of fighting for the right to cast their vote without…

On the last day of its term, the Supreme Court delivered a victory for those who support commonsense election integrity measures. The 6-to-3 result in Brnovich v. DNC was the right decision, though the three dissenting justices didn’t see it that way. Neither Arizona’s “out of precinct” policy, which requires that a ballot cast by…

Partisan, political, designed to inflame. That’s what Merrick Garland’s recent speech on voting rights was. It certainly was not objective, measured, and deliberate—the kind of speech you expect from an attorney general. What’s worse, his central assertion—that state efforts to improve the integrity of the election process will make it “harder” for eligible citizens to vote—is demonstrably false….

On the 156th anniversary of Juneteenth, protecting the integrity of an electoral system that black Americans have struggled so hard to participate in is more important than ever. Here is what thought leaders and black Americans have to say about defending election integrity in America. Curtis Hill: On Juneteenth, We Must Commit to Protecting the…

Iran is in the final phase of its presidential “selection” Friday to determine who will succeed Hassan Rouhani, who is term-limited from running again. The process is more of a selection than an election because Iran’s theocratic leaders hand-pick the candidates who are allowed to run. Only seven of the 592 candidates who threw their…
