Four state Republican Parties -- Arizona, Kansas, Nevada, and South Carolina -- have decided to cancel their presidential primary or caucus for the 2020 election, denying even their own members a choice in the 2020 race.

Independent Voters for Arizona and IndependentVoting.org launched a new ad on Thursday, September 5, to raise awareness of the growing voting rights crisis in Arizona. Namely, 33% of registered voters in the state are denied the right to vote in the taxpayer-funded presidential preference elections.

SAN DIEGO, CALIF. - Questions are being asked about the term "ballot harvesting" and its impacts on the California election. Ballot harvesting was used for the first time in November, and has clearly been advantageous to Democrats. This week, a seventh GOP-held congressional seat flipped to the Democrats, leaving Republicans controlling just seven of California’s 53 House districts. The "minor" change was implemented when Gov.

There were two elections on November 6. The first was a national referendum on President Trump that saw Democrats win a majority in the House of Representatives after nearly a decade out of power, while Republicans added seats in the Senate. The national election results continue to be the subject of endless punditry as races in Arizona were reversed and returns in Florida were subject to mandatory recount. It was a contest between two parties – Team Red and Team Blue – that will end up costin

IVN Author Wes Messamore and I delve into some of the biggest races that haven't been decided in the 2018 midterms, and the controversies arising that could drag these races out longer, President Donald Trump and members of the Republican Party are calling "FRAUD" in states like Arizona and Florida, where the Senate races are still too close to call: * In Florida, a manual recount is expected, along with the possibility of a lawsuit from Gov. Rick Scott and the National Republican Senate Commi

The Arizona Senate race is a real nail biter. Over 48 hours after the polls closed in Arizona: "Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema leads Republican Rep. Martha McSally by only a few thousand votes in a race that is too close to call." This election is pivotal as Republicans try to hold onto their majority in the U.S. Senate, and the Republican Senate win in Florida is now in jeopardy as new ballots appear in Broward County, sending the close Senate race there tumbling toward a manual recount, with
