Article: Brunswick County Commission rejects request for two more elections employees
BRUNSWICK COUNTY — The Brunswick County commissioners and elections director reached a compromise Wednesday over the number of additional positions to fund in the next budget cycle.
Director of Elections Sara LaVere requested the county fund two new full-time positions at the board of elections. Ultimately, commissioners only agreed to one — though that is half a position more than what was in the county manager’s recommended budget.
LaVere requested at a budget workshop meeting this week for a combined voter outreach and communication position, along with a candidate coordinator to bring her full-time staff up to eight.

Article: Capital Research Center finds evidence of a clear bias weighted toward Democrats in 2020 election
A majority of Wisconsin voters approved a ballot measure on April 2 that made Wisconsin the 28th state to adopt a ban on private funding of elections. The next day, news headlines were filled with baseless smears. One particular article, from USA Today, used the now classic “Republicans pounce!” framing: “Trump and the GOP weaponized Mark Zuckerberg’s donations; what it means for the 2024 election.”
The article claims the Wisconsin ballot measure “[stemmed] from misinformation surrounding” Mark Zuckerberg’s infamous $400 million donation to the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL). To support this claim, the article references a Federal Elections Commission (FEC) report’s citation of a report commissioned by Mark Zuckerberg wherein former FEC chairman Michael Toner “found that more grants were given to jurisdictions who voted for Trump rather than Biden in 2020.”

Article: County Purchases New Building for Voting Center Across from Courthouse
05/23/2023
Macoupin County voters will have a new place to early vote in person starting in 2024, County Clerk Pete Duncan announced recently. The County has purchased an office building just across the street from the Courthouse in Carlinville that will serve as the Macoupin Voting Center.
Utilizing the grant the Election Office received as being named one of the ten Centers for Election Excellence nationwide, Duncan worked with the County Board to purchase the building without using any taxpayer dollars. The grant covered the costs of the purchase and will cover the necessary upgrades and renovations to the building. For example, a ramp will need to installed for access to the main floor for better access to the public.
“I appreciate that the County Board agreed with me that using the Election Excellence grant, we should create a voting center as part of the Courthouse complex,” Duncan said. Voters who wish to vote early in person will now be able to utilize the parking right outside the building entrance, walk right in, and cast their ballot instead of trying to find parking around the Courthouse and going through the security entrance to get to the next floor up from the public entrance to vote.

Article: Another Team Biden Big Lie, Zuckerbucks banned in Wisconsin, Title IX rewrite strategically delayed, and more.
Another Team Biden Big Lie: If Joe Biden’s biggest reelection obstacle can be boiled down to one word, that word would be “age.” A whopping 86% of Americans think he’s too old to run for a second term. But a close second to “age” would be “immigration.” Not only is this the single most important issue to American voters, but it’s also the issue on which Donald Trump owns the greatest advantage over our decrepit president — an eye-popping 28 points, according to one recent poll. So we shouldn’t be surprised that Team Biden is trotting out another Big Lie to try to cut into Trump’s big lead on this issue. This time, they deceptively edited a video of Trump’s remarks at a recent rally to make it seem like he called all immigrants “animals.” He didn’t. Here’s the necessary context preceding the remark. As it makes clear, Trump was talking about one specific immigrant — the 26-year-old Venezuelan dog who murdered Laken Riley. As Trump put it: “The 22-year-old nursing student in Georgia who was barbarically murdered by an illegal alien animal — the Democrats say, ‘Please don’t call them animals, they’re humans.’ I said, ‘No, they’re not humans, they’re animals,’” adding, “Nancy Pelosi told me that. She said, ‘Please don’t use the word animals when you’re talking about these people.’ I said, ‘I’ll use the word animal because that’s what they are.’” It’s funny, not funny, how what’s good for the Trump goose isn’t good for the Biden gander. On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre lectured a reporter who asked about Biden’s reference to a “bloodbath” back in 2020. Recall that Team Biden and their mainstream media brethren pounced on Trump when he used the word recently in reference to the auto industry, dishonestly asserting that Trump was referring to a nationwide bloodbath should he lose the 2024 election. As KJP pathetically said Tuesday, “You’ve got to read what he said in context.” Oh.
