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.

Senate Showdown over Civil Rights Nominee
The next major confirmation battle will be over Debo Adegbile, President Barack Obama's choice to head the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department, according to sources in the U.S. Senate. The pending showdown over Adegbile -- onetime child star on TV's "Sesame Street" and former acting president of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund -- is nothing short of high-stakes political poker. To the left, the choice of Adegbile, 46, is an unmistakable signal from the president and Attorney General Eric Holder that the administration is going to fight states over imposing voter identification laws which they are convinced disenfranchises minorities. Now senior counsel to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat, Adegbile is considered a reliable leader in the fight over voter I.D. laws that are sure to emerge from state capitals in 2014. In addition, as head of the Legal Defense Fund, Adegbile defended the constitutionality of the 1965 Voting Rights Act before the Supreme Court.
Voter Fraud in New York — Proof that It’s Easy
Liberals who oppose efforts to prevent voter fraud claim that there is no fraud -- or at least not any that involves voting in person at the polls. But New York City's watchdog Department of Investigations has just provided the latest evidence of how easy it is to commit voter fraud that is almost undetectable. DOI undercover agents showed up at 63 polling places last fall and pretended to be voters who should have been turned away by election officials; the agents assumed the names of individuals who had died or moved out of town, or who were sitting in jail. In 61 instances, or 97 percent of the time, the testers were allowed to vote.
MSNBC Guest: Voter ID Reforms Are ‘Anti-American’
On January 6, MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell began her Andrea Mitchell Reports segment on voting rights lamenting how in 2013 "[t]he Supreme Court effectively gutted the 1965 Voting Rights Act in June last year when the court struck down a key provision opening the door for states and localities to undo nearly a half century of voting rights gains." Appearing alongside Ms. Mitchell was Sherrilyn Ifill of the NAACP, who charged that new voting laws across the nation were "anti-American." Mitchell tipped her hand by calling such policies "voting rights restrictions" and voiced her support for the NAACP's efforts.
MSNBC’s Ball Compares GOP Backing of Virginia Voter ID Law to “Jim Crow”
Once again, a liberal at MSNBC has chosen to rewrite history by pretending that Republicans are the political party with a history of denying minorities the right to vote. Appearing on her daily MSNBC show, liberal co-host Krystal Ball went on a tirade against Republicans in Virginia claiming they are the "rightful heir to the Jim Crow legacy."
Jimmy Carter’s Change of Heart on Voter ID
Once upon a time, less than 10 years ago, many Democrats supported strong voter ID laws. Now they say such laws are "racist." Recently, former President Jimmy Carter told a crowd commemorating the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington: "I believe we all know how Dr. King would have reacted to the new I.D. requirements to exclude certain voters, especially African-Americans." Say what? Mr. Carter co-chaired the Commission on Federal Election Reform, whose 2005 report, "Building Confidence in U.S. Elections," strongly recommended voter-ID laws and other reforms to ensure election integrity.
Lawyer Attacking Breitbart’s Widow Also Attacking North Carolina’s Voter ID
Thomas Yannucci, the same lawyer representing Shirley Sherrod in her efforts to sue online news pioneer Andrew Breitbart's widow, is the same lawyer attacking North Carolina's voter ID law.

ACRU lights a birthday candle to celebrate Citizens United decision
In 2009, ACRU issued an Amicus Brief urging the Supreme Court to find in favor of Citizens United and constitutional freedom in the case of Citizens United v. FEC. The case began in 2007 when a political movie about Hillary Clinton was blocked for distribution by liberal activists who didn't like the subject matter and used the McCain-Feingold Act as a battering ram. The Supreme Court correctly decided in favor of Citizens United by applying Constitutional free speech provisions to ensure a broader, more level playing field for American political activity. January 21, 2020 was the tenth anniversary of this landmark case, finalized in a 5-4 decision split along ideological lines with the more liberal justices on the Court arguing against free speech for any member of the public speaking through an entity. The framers of the Constitution made it clear that voters should fully briefed on both sides of any policy or political issue and at ACRU, we concur. We are grateful to Citizens United and David Bossie for bringing this critical Constitutional case before the Supreme Court of the United States.
Texas: Voter fraud requires forgery
Apply to register to vote in Texas and your application needs to have your original signature. Sounds reasonable? Not according to Democrats. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee have both sued the state claiming this is just downright unfair. Eric Holder, complaining bitterly about “gerrymandering” when Republicans do it, is floating $10 million in the state to make sure redistricting turns out in the Democrats’ favor. We have to wonder — how in the world do they get away with this stuff? Let’s not let them.
Kentucky: Voter fraud enablers are nearby
When Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams ran for office last year, he promised the citizens of the state that he would "make it easy to vote and hard to cheat.” Adams is supporting a Senate Bill requiring photo ID at the polls to prove you are really you and voting yourself. It also provides a free ID for anyone over 18 years old (voting age) who does not have a driver’s license. Now the association for Bluegrass State county clerks opposes the law. The Kentucky County Clerks Association was also busy in 2019 pushing Democrats into positions of critical importance at the State Board of Elections. One would think County officials would want to assure voters in their community that their legal votes would never be negated by an illegitimate one. Apparently in Kentucky, not so much. What is the position of your county clerk? Might be a good time to ask.
Nebraska: Voter fraud requires deceit
More than 35 states have passed requirements that voters present specific documentation or photo ID when voting. In near equal numbers, liberal activist judges have done their best to block enforcement of these statutes. Republicans in Nebraska are now trying to pass an amendment to the state Constitution that would require presentation of photo ID at the polls. Liberal groups are already calling it unnecessary and hollering that it would disenfranchise people without IDs. Except the state provides free photo IDs. So, once again, the anti-vote integrity crowd peddles disinformation about a law that should be acceptable to everyone who doesn’t want to cheat.
Minnesota: Voter fraud is local
The police in Marshall, Minnesota are investigating reports of voter fraud in the form of illegal registrations forwarded to them from the county attorney. There are only two incidents reported, but that’s not the point. State auditors or Secretaries of State usually identify discrepancies but often do not have investigative staff or authority to do on-the-ground research into vote violators. How does your county or local law enforcement handle reports of local voter fraud? Best to find out before November 3, 2020.
