It's not that California doesn't have the ability to count all their ballots in a timely fashion.

It's that they deliberately choose not to.

And it's the reason why one of the first things I will do as a member of Congress is co-sponsor the SAVE America Act.

The @ohiogop leadership is taking election integrity seriously. Putting common-sense photo ID in our state constitution is the logical next step to continuing to make Ohio the most secure state to cast a ballot. Thank you @JaneTimkenOH for your amazing leadership! 🇺🇸🐘🇺🇸

[Alex Triantafilou 🇺🇸🐘🇺🇸 @ChairmanAlex]

Thank you Mr. President! The @ohiogop with our leaders like @RobertCSprague, @matthuffman1, @Rob_McColley, @VivekGRamaswamy are fighting in Ohio to put this in our state constitution! We will get it done!

Disney has filed a petition with the FCC asking the agency to declare that The View is exempt from the statutory equal opportunities requirements that would otherwise apply to broadcast shows.

Disney argues that The View qualifies as “bona fide news” under the law, comparing itself to Meet The Press or Face The Nation.

Therefore, Disney argues, it can have one partisan candidate for office on The View while denying equal opportunities to all others.

The FCC is now seeking public comment on Disney’s request to be labeled as “bona fide news.”

Is The View a “bona fide news interview program”?

Under FCC case law, tv shows do not qualify as “bona fide news” if their decisions are based on partisan purposes, such as an intention to advance or harm an individual’s candidacy.

As the Public Notice observes, Congress originally passed the equal opportunities law to prevent media gatekeepers from deciding the outcome of elections. The law, even when it applies, does not prohibit anyone from having any candidate appear on any show. Rather, Congress intended it to empower voters with more information and encourage more speech.

The FCC welcomes your views:

Deep thanks to @TheRepLawyer for having me back! Signed so many books—I hope my penmanship did not deteriorate too badly as I went along! Two down, one to go.

Great article @KaelanDC

Lex Politica Partner, Steve Roberts, quoted in @dcexaminer:

“If Eric Swalwell was campaigning for governor instead of his congressional seat while using his federal campaign to pay childcare expenses, he and his campaign could be on the hook for hefty financial penalties.”

[Lex Politica @Lex_Politica]

Lex Politica Partner, @SteveP_Roberts told @NOTUSreports:

"Campaign funds can’t subsidize child care that exists independent of a candidate’s congressional campaign. In fact, the FEC issued a direct advisory opinion in 2022 to Eric Swalwell and his campaign denying express permission to travel ‘for other entities,’ even in his capacity as a member of Congress"

Save Election Day's Nicole Kelly and @SteveP_Roberts piece in @dailycaller discussing the huge impact that Watson v. RNC could have on our elections: eliminating post-election receipt periods for mail-in-ballots.

"Even if the Supreme Court makes a move towards restoring Election Day to its former glory, it’s time for states to seize the moment and enact further sweeping reforms to safeguard the integrity of our votes."

No state has issued a more comprehensive set of security-specific protocols than Ohio during my administration.

This week, I issued the seventh election security directive of this administration, reinforcing physical and cybersecurity protections for Ohio’s critical elections infrastructure in light of the growing foreign cyber threat landscape.

“Clean voter rolls are essential to a strong democracy and electoral system that people can trust and rely on,” [SED President Nicole] Kelly told @KaelanDC for the @dcexaminer. “Without clean voter rolls, you don’t really have a fundamentally strong election system.”

Kelly said the DOJ’s push is aimed at determining whether states are complying with federal requirements already in place.

“The emphasis by the Trump administration’s DOJ to make sure that states are following federal law when it comes to making sure these voter rolls are clean, accurate, and compliant is an effort that a lot of people should be proud of,” she added.

We show our ID to buy fireworks, and some video games… so why not to vote?🗳️ My thoughts via @foxnews here: https://t.co/OKaxh6audg @washtimes

[Senator Jon Husted @SenJonHusted]

This isn’t complicated: Only American citizens should vote in American elections.

I’ve always stood for making it easy to vote and hard to cheat, and that is why I support the SAVE Act.

[Steve Roberts @SteveP_Roberts]

Candidates have more opportunities than ever to hold television stations accountable for airing one-sided, partisan talk shows masquerading as "entertainment." The FCC confirmed that Kimmel, Fallon, Colbert, Seth Meyers, and their daytime counterparts like The View, don't qualify for a news exception to the equal time rules, and a political candidate whose opponent appears on one of these may have the right to seek equal time from the station that aired the show.

Gives me the chance to get even MORE free airtime from NBC stations (and others)!

"President Trump’s EO is a strong foundation. Lasting change requires state legislation that codifies these core principles."

HUGE endorsement from President Trump! Thank you @POTUS for your support — I will not let you down sir.

I have spent my career delivering wins for our conservative movement and President Trump's America First Agenda. I will not let Democrats in Congress stand in the way of keeping our border secure, protecting our God-given constitutional freedoms, or making life more affordable for Texans.

I can't wait to get to Congress to join the fight and keep the results coming for #TX10. Onwards to victory — let's go WIN!
