Video Shows PA Official Admitting Election Laws Were Broken In 2020

This video provides yet another example of the widespread violations of election law during the last presidential election. //

“So, we’re going to actually follow the law fully this time,” Delaware County, Pennsylvania’s Christina Perrone told fellow election-related workers during a Zoom meeting after the November 2020 election. This video—the latest obtained by The Federalist—provides yet another example of widespread violations of election law during the last presidential election.

Regina Miller, a contract worker for the large Pennsylvania county, filmed the video of the April 7, 2021 Zoom meeting, which involved voting officials discussing plans for the upcoming elections, according to sources familiar with the recording. The video began with Perrone, who, according to a lawsuit filed against her, other Delaware County officials, and the county, served as a project manager for the county, saying they would “talk about that off-line”—with the “that” not specified. //

Several other videos previously obtained by The Federalist capture an array of troubling discussions also related to the 2020 election, including “Delaware County officials destroying election material or blocking out ‘derogatory’ information in the copies made in response to the Right to Know Request” submitted to county officials by residents seeking copies of documents to confirm the November election results.

Another video captured a man identified for The Federalist by sources familiar with the recordings as James Savage, the chief custodian and voting machine warehouse supervisor for the Delaware County Voting Machine Department during the November 2020 election.

NASA: Tonga blast was 10 megatons, more powerful than a nuclear bomb : NPR

NASA researchers have an estimate of the power of a massive volcanic eruption that took place on Saturday near the island nation of Tonga.

"We come up with a number that's around 10 megatons of TNT equivalent," James Garvin, the chief scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, told NPR. //

Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai was completely destroyed by Saturday's explosion, says Dan Slayback, a research scientist for NASA's Goddard, as well as Science Systems and Applications Inc. Slayback says the blast was so massive it even appears to have taken chunks out of the older islands nearby.

"They weren't ash — they were solid rock, blown to bits," he says. "It was quite amazing to see that happen." //

He suspects the explosion was triggered by a sudden change in the subterranean plumbing, which caused seawater to flood in.

"When you put a ton of seawater into a cubic kilometer of liquid rock, things are going to get bad fast," he says.

Democrats Pivot Back To Radical Election Bill That Would Ban Voter ID

The legislation increases the likelihood of a disputed election and should be rejected outright, especially considering the chaos this country endured after the 2020 election. //

Congressional Democrats’ proposed legislation includes many sweeping provisions. It would force states to implement automatic voter registration, early voting, same-day registration, and no-fault absentee balloting. It would require states to allow ballot harvesting, ban voter ID laws nationwide, and limit access to federal courts for anyone who challenges such legislation.

It would require states to automatically register people (not necessarily “citizens”) whose names are in government databases (such as with the Social Security Administration, Department of Motor Vehicles, and Federal Bureau of Prisons). It would ban witness signature or notarization requirements for absentee ballots, prevent election officials from verifying voter eligibility of voters and removing ineligible names from voter rolls, and expand government censorship of political speech and activity (including online speech). //

This supposed “voting rights legislation” would violate the Constitution by wresting control of elections away from states and federalizing our elections. Centralized, top-down control of the process whereby citizens elect the officials who represent them is precisely the system the Founding Fathers sought to avoid in their careful formation of America. //

Politicians should be providing policy prescriptions that reduce the capacity for fraud and result in a high degree of assurance that our elections are secure and administered fairly with only legal votes being counted. This bill does the exact opposite.

More tools, more time: A new productivity option for homeschoolers

Homeschool state organizations and co-ops: you asked, and we listened.

Previously, Google's "G Suite for Education"—a collection of productivity and collaboration tools geared towards educational organizations—was only available to accredited schools.

But a number of homeschool co-ops wanted to offer this to their families, and reached out to us for help. So HSLDA worked with Google to open up its G Suite for Education to homeschool organizations. Your co-op can now take advantage of the wealth of productivity tools offered in the Suite. . . . it's voluntary, and best of all, it's FREE!

Here's what you need to know.

If you are a state or regional homeschool organization that wants to participate, please contact HSLDA to set up an account. You can email us at GroupServices@hslda.org or call us at 540-338-5600.

If you are a local homeschool co-op that wants access to Google's G Suite for Education, please check the list below to find your state or regional homeschool organization. You will receive a verification code, which you can use to set up an account on G Suite's website. Your co-op must have a website to use G Suite.
