After a Republican primary marred by voter fraud, the general-election race for an open City Council seat in Bay Ridge and Coney Island is competitive-and both candidates view it as an indicator of what the changing district's voters actually want. Kayla Santosuosso, a staffer to current Councilman Justin Brannan, is facing off against Republican businessman George Sarantopoulos to fill the seat being vacated by Brannan at the end of the year.

Last week, President Donald Trump announced that he wanted to fundamentally change the way Americans vote. He wants to prohibit absentee ballots, mail ballots, early in-person voting, and the use of voting machines. He wants all voting to take place on Election Day and all ballots to be paper ballots. He claims that such changes will make elections more honest by preventing voter fraud. This is an extraordinarily dubious claim.

A sitting Lawrence city councilor pleaded guilty to voter fraud charges in court Wednesday stemming from the city's 2023 municipal election, prosecutors announced. Fidelina Santiago, 41, pleaded guilty to four counts of voting unlawfully, four counts of interfering with a voter, and four counts of obstructing voting, Essex County District Attorney Paul Tucker said. Prosecutors said they chose not to move forward with four additional counts of conspiracy to vote or attempt to vote illegally.

Trump reiterated his belief that the 2020 Presidential election was rigged, citing Putin's comments on mail-in voting as justification. He claimed that Putin said, 'No country has mail-in voting. It's impossible to have mail-in voting and have honest elections.' Trump's viewpoint aligns with Putin's narrative.

In Colorado, the Department of Justice demanded all records relating to the 2024 election and any records from the 2020 election. This marks an expansion of the DOJ's focus.

These apparent facts really call for a district attorney investigation. They need to find out how someone other than the voter was able to obtain and submit the absentee ballots.

South Africa's Internet Service Providers' Association (ISPA) reported irregularities in an AFRINIC election, revealing that one party claimed to hold Powers of Attorney for nearly half of the resource holders. Reports indicated at least some of these Powers of Attorney were fraudulent, leading to situations where representatives attempted to vote only to discover others claimed to vote on their behalf.

Kim was formally charged with three felony counts of perjury by declaration, three felony counts of filing a false document, and other serious charges related to voter registration.

Maggie Haberman highlighted that Trump seems to genuinely believe in the falsehoods he spreads, as demonstrated during his commencement address at the University of Alabama.
