ACRU Policy Board Member Col. Allen B. West expresses ACRU’s support for Texas lawsuit demanding state legislative authority over election protocols be upheld
“The lawsuit filed by Texas against Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin is needed to protect the American electoral process from executive and judicial actions that usurp the constitutional powers of state legislators. ACRU encourages principled leaders across the country to join Texas in the fight against assaults on election integrity and the Constitution.”
Honestly conducted elections, with each American’s vote counting once, is the foundation of a nation whose Constitution begins “We the People…”
The government derives its legitimacy from free and fair elections and is bound by them. Vote fraud cuts at the very heart of American freedom. When an illegal vote is cast and counted, it cancels out the legal vote of a lawful citizen. (Watch the undercover videos).
In recent years, close elections and news of vote fraud have awakened Americans to the importance of protecting the integrity of the ballot box.

Judge Rejects Dismissal, Grants ACRU Standing in Texas County Case
A federal judge has ruled that the has standing to sue Zavala County, Texas, over its inflated voter registrations. The ACRU filed the lawsuit in March 2014, citing the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (Motor Voter Law), which requires maintenance of accurate voter rolls. District Judge Alia Moses of the U.S. Western District of Texas, Del Rio Division, on Tuesday issued a court order denying dismissal of the case, which the defendant, Zavala County, had sought. At the same time, the judge granted ACRU organizational standing to pursue the case, in which ACRU alleges that Zavala County has more registered voters than age-eligible citizens.
NJ Democratic Official Resigns Over Vote Fraud Ruling
-- The chairwoman of the Democratic Organization in Perth Amboy has resigned after a scathing ruling by a judge that pointed toward pervasive voter fraud in the November city council elections. "This distraction could only hurt our party and as a loyal Democrat it is the best thing to do," Leslie Dominguez-Rodriguez wrote. "The reporting in the media was inaccurate as to what the judge stated in her ruling. In the interest of the party I will resign." Per the party's bylaws, Martin Arroyo will take over as party chairman, Dominguez-Rodriguez said in her letter. On Thursday, Judge Heidi Currier ordered a new election for one City Council seat after finding at least 13 ballots were illegally cast. That margin was greater than the apparent election-night victory of Fernando Gonzalez. Sergio Diaz, the runner-up, filed suit, and succeeded in getting Gonzalez's win tossed out.
Wisconsin Attorney General: Voter ID Fight Is Over
It's been a long, costly court battle, but Wisconsin's attorney general says the fight over Voter ID is over -- despite attempts by opponents to find a different legal appeal. Last week the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to the law requiring Wisconsin voters to show a photo ID. Backers of the law say it's a commonsense bill that makes it easy to vote and hard to cheat. Opponents are still fighting for the estimated 300,000 voters they say can't easily get a state ID. Sunday on "Upfront with Mike Gousha," Attorney General Brad Schimel said challenges to the law are a moot point. "The Supreme Court doesn't make decisions with the intentions of leaving all sorts of loopholes and opportunities to challenge their decision. This has been looked at carefully. If there were arguments that these groups had to make, they should have made them when the case went up the first time," Schimel said.
Supreme Court Deals a Blow to Racial Redistricting
The Supreme Court has dealt a heavy blow to efforts -- often by the Republican Party -- to draw legislative districts that pack black voters into majority black legislative districts in order to elect black representatives. In a case decided today arising out of Alabama state legislative plans, the Supreme Court held that the Voting Rights Act does not require the preservation and protection of legislative districts with percentages of black voters designed to produce black elected officials. Republicans and black politicians often argue that the Voting Rights Act requires line drawers to preserve proportional black representation by creating districts where black candidates are sure to win election. These plans help Republicans by bleaching out surrounding areas helping to elect Republicans. Instead, the Court ruled that what must be preserved is the "ability to elect" minority preferred candidates of choice -- who need not necessarily be minority candidates themselves. This means legislatures can dip below numeric thresholds which create majority black districts, and not necessarily offend the Voting Rights Act.
Supreme Court Rejects Challenge to Wisconsin Voter ID Law
The U.S. Supreme Court rejected an appeal to overturn Wisconsin's voter identification law, upsetting civil rights and liberal groups that say the law discourages minorities from casting their ballot. On Monday the justices said, without comment or explanation, that they would not hear an appeal aimed at overturning the voter ID law, which was signed into law in 2011 by Republican Gov. Scott Walker, a potential 2016 presidential contender. The American Civil Liberties Union immediately filed a motion for a stay so as to not allow the law to go immediately into effect. The ACLU challenged the law -- which requires voters to present photo identification before they cast their ballots -- saying it violates the 14th Amendment's equal protection clause and Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act against discrimination in voting. In a statement Monday, Mr. Walker praised the justices' decision to let the law stand as "great news for Wisconsin voters" and "a common-sense reform that protects the integrity of our voting process, making it easy to vote and hard to cheat."
