An official in Texas’ Attorney General’s office testified during a state House hearing that the number of election fraud cases in Texas is at an “all-time high.” The amount is “higher than our historical average by a long shot,” said Jonathan White, the head of the election fraud agency within the Texas Attorney General’s Special Prosecution Division, to the Texas House Elections Committee last week, reported The Texan. When asked by a state lawmaker if there were trends in election fraud prosecutions, White said that “have 510 offenses pending against 43 defendants in court right now,” saying it’s “for several reasons probably.” He did not elaborate. White said that about 80 percent of those pending cases involve alleged mail-in ballot fraud, and 60 percent of resolved cases involved mail-in voting. The attorney general’s office prosecuted 534 election fraud-related cases committed by 155 people since 2005, according to the report. “I think we …

Gateway Pundit received and published video of a Detroit city van delivering tens of thousands of ballots in USPS boxes that were not sealed, that had no chain of custody documentation and that arrived nearly 8 hours after the deadline to accept ballots. As a reward for their investigative reporting on election integrity, they were permanently banned from Twitter.

Gateway pundit published two videos of ballots being dropped off hours after the deadline in Detroit, Michigan, debunking Big Tech and the mainstream media’s election fraud narrative. They were deleted from Twitter and Facebook. The Gateway Pundit founder was permanently banned by Twitter. In this video, a black Hyundai Elantra also drove into the TCF Center in the early morning on November 4th. Small items were exchanged in two recorded trips through the driver’s open window with someone from inside the TCF Center who came out to meet the car’s occupant.

Today Facebook was shaken by the revelation that the personal information of more than 500 million users was leaked to the public. Buried in the reports is the fact that Facebook knew about this leak as early as January of this year, and did nothing to contain it.

Hackers published the personal information, including phone numbers, Facebook IDs, full names, locations, birthdates, bios, and email addresses publicly on a hacker forum earlier today. Shockingly, Facebook – and the wider Internet – was made aware of this breach as early as January of this year, and the big tech platform seemingly did nothing to mitigate the damage.

Business Insider reported that “A Facebook spokesperson told Insider that the data was scraped due to a vulnerability that the company patched in 2019” and “he leaked data could provide valuable information to cybercriminals who use people’s personal information to impersonate them or scam them into handing over login credentials, according to Alon Gal, CTO of cybercrime intelligence firm Hudson Rock, who first discovered the entire trough of leaked data online on Saturday.”

All 533,000,000 Facebook records were just leaked for free.

This means that if you have a Facebook account, it is extremely likely the phone number used for the account was leaked.

I have yet to see Facebook acknowledging this absolute negligence of your data. https://t.co/ysGCPZm5U3 pic.twitter.com/nM0Fu4GDY8

The leak was first publicized earlier this year, when a hacker attempted to sell access to the private information on a hacking forum. Motherboard reported that “A user of a low-level cybercriminal forum is selling access to a database of phone numbers belonging to Facebook users, and conveniently letting customers look up those numbers by using an automated Telegram bot.”

Facebook apparently knew about this breach since at least this time, and Facebook has apparently done nothing to mitigate the damage. A cyber security expert acknowledged that the big tech platform would likely not be able to stop the damage, but ” Facebook could notify users so they could remain vigilant for possible phishing schemes or fraud using their personal data.”

Facebook has yet to publicly acknowledge the breach or release of the information on its press release web page. Of their recent releases, two pertain to COVID-19 vaccines, one relates to the Oculus virtual reality system owned by Facebook, and another discusses changes to the platform’s news feed.

On March 1, 2021, Atlantic Media, a minority shareholder and former corporate owner of The Atlantic, became aware that a serious issue was affecting its systems. Upon deeper investigation, it was discovered that an unauthorized actor had accessed its servers. Atlantic Media immediately engaged external forensics experts to lead an in-depth investigation into the situation and took measures to safeguard its systems as a team worked aggressively to restore the security and functionality of both systems and servers.

The forensic investigation found no evidence that any subscribers’, customers’, or clients’ financial or sensitive information was involved.

Regrettably, however, as Atlantic Media today informed employees, the investigation determined that certain portions of the network file-share server were potentially briefly accessible to the unauthorized actors. The potentially accessible folders on that server included one containing W-2 forms, W-9 forms, and other tax documents that contain names and Social Security Numbers of certain current and former employees of Atlantic Media; its current and former subsidiaries and affiliates, including The Atlantic; and some specific independent contractors. Atlantic Media does not have evidence of any fraudulent use or public disclosure of these data.

Atlantic Media is mailing an official notice to anyone employed in the U.S. by Atlantic Media or its affiliates or subsidiaries between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2020, as well as to certain independent contractors. The letter will include information about enrolling in complimentary credit-monitoring and identity-restoration services. As an additional resource, Atlantic Media has also established a dedicated call center so that anyone impacted can call with questions or to request more information. To reach the call center, you may call, toll-free, 833-416-0935. (If calling from outside the United States, a toll call can be placed to 936-265-7650 using any applicable international dialing code).

Atlantic Media takes this incident very seriously, and sincerely regrets the inconvenience it has caused. In addition to the extensive security safeguards already in place, the company has subsequent to this incident taken a number of additional steps to enhance the security of its systems and the data it maintains––and this will remain an ongoing priority.

The state of Pennsylvania removed more than 20,000 deceased voters from being able to vote after a lawsuit that was settled by the Public Interest Legal Foundation, according to an announcement from a public interest group, which said it reached a settlement with Pennsylvania state officials this week. The lawsuit (pdf) was filed in November and alleged that some 21,000 dead people were still on the state’s voter rolls during the 2020 presidential election. Pennsylvania agreed to compare its voter-registration database with the Social Security Death Index before removing the names from the rolls. “This marks an important victory for the integrity of elections in Pennsylvania,” Public Interest Legal Foundation President and General Counsel J. Christian Adams said in a statement in announcing the court’s decision. “The Commonwealth’s failure to remove deceased registrants created a vast opportunity for voter fraud and abuse. It is important to not have dead voters active on …

Donald Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani asked a judge to dismiss Dominion Voting Systems Inc.’s lawsuit alleging he exploited false election-fraud claims to hawk gold coins, cigars and supplements on a podcast.

The race card is the Democrats’ favorite card to play. It’s their UNO Draw Four card that gets them out of having intellectually honest debates. That’s why when the Georgia voting integrity bill comes up, instead of discussing the actual bill, their responses range between “it’s like injecting horse tranquilizers into Jim Crow’s testicles” and “it’s totes the same as apartheid.” You also have BlueAnon conspiracy theorists like Elizabeth Warren irresponsibly alleging election fraud in the 2018 Georgia governor’s election. SPOILER: Stacey Abrams still lost.

A City Council member in Paterson, New Jersey, pleaded not guilty on election fraud charges stemming from last year’s municipal election. Alex Mendez entered his not guilty plea from a Passaic County judge on Thursday. Mendez was previously indicted on seven voter fraud and election fraud charges relating to the May 2020 election. He was indicted on fraud in casting a mail-in ballot, election fraud, unauthorized possession of ballots, tampering with public records or information, false registration or transfer, attempted false registration or transfer, and falsifying or tampering with records. Another Paterson City Council member, Michael Jackson, faces similar charges. He pleaded not guilty to the charges on March 11. Both Mendez and Jackson have continued to serve on the Paterson City Council amid the pending charges. Jackson and Mendez previously objected to what they said is a lack of evidence provided by the Attorney General’s Office after the original charges were filed in …

Federal prosecutors in North Carolina said Friday that 24 additional people have been charged in an ongoing probe into voter fraud, including two who are accused of illegally voting in the 2016 presidential election.

Just a few short weeks apart, the U.S. Justice Department settled two major fund-raising cases involving foreign money injected into American elections.

In February, a longtime Democratic bundler named Imaad Zuberi, who also donated to Donald Trump’s inauguration, was sentenced to 12 years in prison and millions in fines in a criminal information that alleged he routed foreign money into U.S elections, sometimes through straw donors.

Last week, Nigerian-Lebanese billionaire Gilbert Chagoury, 75, a large donor to the Clinton Foundation, got a fine, no prison and deferred prosecution for allegedly routing his foreign money to straw donors to help Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign and some GOP congressional candidates. An associate also made a secret loan to Obama-era Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, who failed to disclose the assistance.

ABERDEEN, MISS. (WCBI) – A judge is ordering a new runoff election for the Ward 1 alderman seat in Aberdeen.

According to the Washington Examiner, John Durham’s special investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation is still ongoing, with Durham “arranging witness interviews and issuing subpoenas in recent months, according to a new report.”

The “Spygate” investigation was based on information and facts obtained from Inspector General Michael Horowitz’ investigation which set the stage for the appointment of Durham as special investigator.

Senator Joe Manchin dashed fellow Democrats’ hopes for changing Senate rules to allow them to pass President Joe Biden’s agenda without Republican support, declaring that he opposed scrapping the filibuster under any circumstance.
