Republican Rep. Mike Lawler’s (NY-17) campaign went to court on Tuesday after problems with voting machines in Westchester County were revealed earlier in the day.Voting machines at most polling stations in the county have experienced issues that will likely delay ballot counting in the race, which is one of the closest House elections in the midterm elections.The Washington Examiner reported that the Westchester County Board of Elections explained that the issue involved the thickness of paper ballots, which caused the machines to reject them.The board issued a statement addressing the matter:The Westchester County Board of Elections (BOE) is aware of an...

We're hearing reports of sky-high GOP turnout in states across the country. That's excellent news for Republicans and even better news for America: if we get out and vote, we can block the Democrats from taking power and trying to dismantle this nation to rebuild it as a socialist state.Here's some of what we know so far. Republican turnout in Florida is massive.Anyone telling you that Republican turnout in Florida is not massive is lying to you. I assume this is to keep spirits up for other states. Here is a snapshot of partisan registration of voters for the exact...

Control of Congress remains uncertain as Americans head to the polls today. Republicans face discouraging numbers, but turnout, not the polls, will determine who holds power for the next two years. What is certain, however, is that the Democratic Socialists of America will emerge with a stronger foothold. From congressional contests to mayoral races, DSA-backed candidates are positioned to expand socialism's reach and influence across the country.Already, "The Squad" gives the party’s left wing a foothold in Congress. Its founding members, Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan,...

Democrat Rep. Haley Stevens (MI-11) said endorsing Republican candidate Mike Rogers over Democrat Abdul El-Sayed was worth dealing with the slings and arrows coming her way from her own party.Stevens made her endorsement over the weekend after she was set to appear with El-Sayed. However, disagreements over his stance on Israel and the antisemitic individuals he associates with became too big an issue for the lawmaker.While heading to the polls on Tuesday, a NewsNation reporter asked Stevens whether her decision was “worth it.”The lawmaker took it in stride and said, “it’s the people’s day” and that it is “majority makers...

At the end of October, Speaker Mike Johnson launched a 13-state campaign blitz to help Republicans across the country and keep the GOP's majority in Congress. That came on the heels of record-breaking fundraising that saw Johnson raise more than $30 million in the third quarter for House races, and more than $156 million for the cycle. When coupled with fundraising from the Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF), a Johnson-endorsed PAC, Republicans have taken in more than $526 million for the midterms.When he launched the weeklong campaign barnstorm, Johnson said, "In the final week until this fateful Election Day, I am...

It would have been nice to know this before yesterday, but The Atlantic is reporting on Adam Hamawy, the Democrat who is likely to go to Congress next year, and his long history of working with Islamic extremists. Townhall wrote about Hamawy's radicalism, reporting about his ties to Islamic terrorism back in May and frequently between then and now.If Hamawy wins, he'll represent NJ-12, where Flight 93 hero Todd Beamer and his family lived when he was killed by Islamic terrorists on September 11, 2001, and where Beamer's grave is located.A one-time acolyte to the Sheikh Abdul-Rahman, a traveler among...

The midterms are today, and Americans will decide who controls Congress for the next two years, and whether the legislative branch will work with or oppose President Trump for the remainder of his term. Republicans face discouraging polls and the prospect of losing both the House and the Senate. History offers little comfort, either, with the president’s party typically losing ground in the midterms. But our friend Charlie Kirk, who worked tirelessly on the ground to turn out voters in all seven swing states and was crucial in securing President Trump’s victory in 2024, left a message that conservatives would do...

Sarah Jukaku, wife of Abdul El-Sayed, made headlines here at Townhall when we learned that her psychiatry practice doesn't accept any form of insurance — not even El-Sayed's beloved Medicare. Jukaku demands patients, even those with private plans, pay out of pocket and some patients may be able to get reimbursed by their insurers after the fact.But now we're talking about Jukaku again, specifically a speech she gave about what El-Sayed is like in private.Sarah Jukaku, physician and wife of Abdul El-Sayed, speaks on what her husband is like outside of the limelight:With Abdul, what you see is what you get....

Even those closest to Texas Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico know he’s full of bovine excrement.Throughout the course of his campaign, Talarico has expressed views that were significantly more moderate than the policy positions he championed in the past. His strategy is to come off as a normal, sane, candidate who is absolutely not a weirdo who is obsessed with trans-identified children.But an undercover investigation by James O’Keefe shows that those nearest to him are aware that what Talarico says on the campaign trail does not exactly align with the policies he truly supports. O’Keefe Media Group released an undercover...

The Democrats are still reeling from Haley Stevens' brave decision to withdraw her endorsement of Abdul El-Sayed and instead endorse Republican Mike Rogers. Haley spoke with a hostile Anderson Cooper about her decision, and sat down with Scott Jennings, too. She also penned an article on X that slammed her critics, including those who accused her of being brainwashed or controlled by her fiancé.The entire meltdown showed everyone that Democrats are a) not a big tent party after all, b) they don't like strong, independent women, and c) they're not as confident in the polls as they claim to be....
