Lawsuit Challenging 2024 Election Results Moves Forward After Kamala Harris Received Zero Votes in a New York County
A lawsuit disputing the results of the 2024 election has moved forward after it was revealed that former Vice President Kamala Harris received no votes a New York state district.
A seminal case calling the results of the presidential race as well as state senate races into question has advanced. The case refers to the results of the election in Rockland County, New York, with Judge Rachel Tanguay of the New York Supreme Court ruling that a full hand recount must occur following the discovery.
The case's lead plaintiff is SMART Legislation, the action arm of SMART Elections, a non-partisan group that advocates for voting security and voter rights.
"There is clear evidence that the senate results are incorrect, and there are statistical indications that the presidential results are highly unlikely," Lulu Friesdat, founder and executive director of SMART Legislation, said in a statement.
"If the results are incorrect, it is a violation of the constitutional rights of each person who voted in the 2024 Rockland County general election. The best way to determine if the results are correct is to examine the paper ballots in a full public, transparent hand recount of all presidential and senate ballots in Rockland County. We believe it's vitally important, especially in the current environment, to be absolutely confident about the results of the election."
The complaint outlined how a number of voters relayed under sworn testimony that they voted for independent U.S. Senate candidate Diane Sare, yet the Rockland County Board of Elections recorded fewer votes for Sare than should have been reported.
In addition to this, 331 voters in Rockland County NY district 35 reportedly chose Democratic State Senate candidate Kirsten Gillibrand during the 2024 elections, but allegedly none of them continued to vote for Harris in the presidential election.
A similar incident occurred in Rockland County NY district 55, where 909 voters opted for Gillibrand but only two cast their votes for Harris.
Comparing the results of the 2024 election to the results collected in 2020, a statistician stated that the alleged results of the election in four out of the five towns making up Rockland County are "highly unlikely".
"These data would require extreme sociological or political causes for their explanation, and would benefit from further assurances as to their fidelity," said Max Bonamente, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

Hegseth Dodges Question About 'Political Allegiance to Trump.' Congressman Tells Him to 'Get the Hell Out'
U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth dodged a pointed question regarding "political allegiance to Trump," prompting Congressman Salud Carbajal to call for his resignation. "Do you think political allegiance to Trump is a requirement for serving our nation, either in uniform or a civilian in the department?" the Democratic lawmaker asked during Thursday's House Armed Services Committee hearing on the Pentagon's FY2026 nearly $1 trillion budget request. "I'm incredibly proud as are millions of Americans," Hegseth began before being cut off by Carbajal, as seen in a clip circulating on X. "Not today, Hegseth. Yes or no?" Carbajal pressed. "Congressman, you know what a silly question that is," Hegseth responded. "But silly enough to warrant a straightforward answer. Yes or no?" Carjabal retorted. Reuters "We all support and defend the constitution of the United States," the Defense Secretary stated before he was cut off again. "You know what, I'm not going to waste my time anymore," Carbajal stated. "You're not worthy of my attention or my questions. You're an embarrassment to this country. You're unfit to lead. And there's been bipartisan members of Congress that have called for your resignation." "You should just get the hell out and let somebody competently lead this department," the Congressman added before yielding the rest of his time. Committee Chairman Mike Rogers then urged members to maintain decorum in the chamber. Earlier in the exchange, Carbajal shared that he had "serious concern" over the Trump administration's deployment of 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles amid the ongoing anti-ICE protests. The lawmaker labeled the controversial move "political theater," according to Axios. Originally published on Latin Times

More Democratic Governors Dare Trump's Border Czar to Arrest Them Over Resistance to ICE's Efforts: 'Go For It'
Democratic governors pushed back against the Trump administration 's hardline immigration tactics during a tense congressional hearing, with two daring border czar Tom Homan to try arresting them for resisting federal enforcement. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker were among the state leaders who forcefully criticized federal overreach during Thursday's hearing, Axios reported. Hochul responded to Homan's threat by saying, "If Tom Homan comes to Albany to arrest me, I'll say go for it." Pritzker echoed the sentiment, stating he would "stand in the way of Tom Homan going after people who don't deserve to be frightened in their communities." Both governors condemned the deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles as a dangerous encroachment on local authority. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz also weighed in, warning that threats of arrest against elected officials undermine democracy. The clash follows growing tensions between Democratic-led states and the Trump administration over its mass deportation agenda and aggressive use of federal agents. Tom Homan has previously floated the idea of arresting officials who obstruct immigration enforcement or shield undocumented residents. Calls for such arrests escalated after Trump recently suggested California Gov. Gavin Newsom be detained amid protests in Los Angeles. While Republicans used the hearing to blame sanctuary policies for violent crime, the governors defended their records, pointing to declining crime rates and emphasizing their cooperation with ICE in criminal matters.
