<\/a>Election 2014<\/h1>\n
\nThings appear to be tightening in Maryland, where a poll leaked to The Daily Caller shows the gubernatorial race is \u201cextremely close \u2014 only 2 points, 46 to 44, separate Democratic Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown and Republican small businessman Larry Hogan.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nWork with me, here.<\/p>\n
\nRepublican Governor Paul LePage of Maine has opened up a 10 point lead. Less than a year ago, friends of mine were freaked out that LePage was going to lose Maine. They thought he was too harsh with the media and seemed to relish being a bully.<\/p>\n
\nThe Washington Post created a stir last week when it published a piece by two political scientists that revealed the findings from their study on non-citizen voting. Using some survey data, they found that 6.4 percent of non-citizens voted in 2008 and 2.2 percent voted in 2010.<\/p>\n
\nHow extensive is voter-fraud, especially among non-citizens? Just bring up the question, or suggest we need to have voter-ID at the polls like every other advanced democracy, and the answer will be instantly supplied: You\u2019re a racist. But as Dan McLaughlin points out over at The Federalist, Democrats seem to win a suspiciously high number of close elections, well beyond what a random statistical trial would suggest.<\/p>\n
\nA new audit has discovered over 1,400 registered voters on North Carolina\u2019s voting rolls are likely not citizens of the United States. <\/p>\n
\nProgressives and the Justice Department are doing all they can to stop improvements in election integrity.<\/p>\n
\nTo many Republicans, the Democratic “war on women” campaign against GOP Senate candidate Cory Gardner is an outrage. But for Gardner himself, it is also a test.<\/p>\n
\nFrom Obamacare to the Justice Department, our lame-duck president is still a problem.<\/p>\n
\nThese uninformed, undecided voters will vote based on emotion. So give the Wal-Mart mom something to be hopeful about.<\/p>\n
\nThe political environment continues to deteriorate for House Democrats ahead of a midterm election that\u2019s certain to diminish their ranks.<\/p>\n
\nWhen asked whether they will vote for the Democrat or the Republican for the House in their districts, 50 percent of likely voters say Republican and 44 percent say Democrat<\/p>\n
\nIn every key Nevada race, Republicans have cast more early-voting ballots than Democrats ahead of today\u2019s rally starring former President Bill Clinton, who is being brought in by Nevada Democrats who hope the \u201ccomeback kid\u201d can boost party turnout and head off a GOP sweep of state offices.<\/p>\n
\nEarlier this month, I listed a few races I thought might be surprises on Election Night \u2014 unexpected victories by both parties that few had predicted. One that I listed was the New Mexico Senate race between Democratic incumbent Tom Udall and GOP businessman Allen Weh.<\/p>\n
\nSenate Majority Leader Harry Reid\u2019s super PAC tied Republican Senate candidate Thom Tillis to the death of Trayvon Martin in an attempt to motivate black voters to support Senator Kay Hagan (D., N.C.).<\/p>\n
\nHampshire, can you? The Senator can barely muster up enough energy to care about Massachusetts. So it\u2019s not really surprising to hear that the woman apparently can\u2019t be bothered to remember which state Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH)6% pretends to be from<\/p>\n
\nThe pro-amnesty Hispanic activist organization the National Council of La Raza helpfully promoted a Washington Post article explaining which states people can vote in without having to use a photo ID.<\/p>\n
\nThis has been called the election about nothing. But that misses the point entirely. The 2014 midterm election is in fact about everything. A hodgepodge of issues and interests are competing for the attention of an anxious, even angry electorate, with voters set to have their say at a time of volatility for the nation and the world. <\/p>\n
\nMy longtime friendly correspondent Peter Stevens, a solid conservative who is an attorney and former executive aide to three Republican U.S. House members from California, writes me this note, which is worth reprinting (with his permission) in its entirety<\/p>\n
\nBlue America has a problem: Even after adjusting for income, left-leaning metros tend to have worse income inequality and less affordable housing.<\/p>\n
\nWendy Davis, the Democratic nominee for governor of Texas, was supposed to be the candidate of women\u2019s rights, what with her 11-hour filibuster of a bill that would ban abortions beyond 20 weeks (5 months).<\/p>\n
\nGreen billionaire Tom Steyer vowed to make the November congressional elections about climate change. Now he’s talking about abortion and the economy to get his candidates across the finish line.<\/p>\n
\nIt\u2019s the sexiest Election Day celebration yet!<\/p>\n
\nAn election integrity watchdog group is suing the state of Maryland, alleging that it has discovered massive and ongoing fraudulent voting by non-U.S. citizens in one county. But because of the way that the non-citizens are able to cast votes in elections, the fraud is likely happening in every single county and subdivision across the state. The group believes that the illegal voting has been happening for years.<\/p>\n
\nJames O\u2019Keefe documents the problem in North Carolina, where the Senate race is close.<\/p>\n
\nGOP Senate candidate David Perdue is learning that voters can recoil from market rationality.<\/p>\n
\nNot that anyone\u2019s paying attention, but GOP House candidates are set for a great cycle.<\/p>\n
\nRepublicans have the opportunity to take control of a record number of state legislative chambers across the country this year, as Democrats play defense in unfavorable terrain.<\/p>\n
\nGeorgia’s tight Senate race could be headed for the courtroom after voters head to the ballot box. A state judge ruled earlier this week against civil rights groups seeking to force the Georgia secretary of State to account for roughly 40,000 voter registrations that were filed but allegedly haven’t shown up on the voting rolls. Those voters could have a big impact on the tight open seat contest between Democrat Michelle Nunn and Republican David Perdue. <\/p>\n
\nAcknolwedgement of investigation is contrary to decades-long FBI practice<\/p>\n
\nDemocrats are locked in competitive governor races across New England as Republicans push their midterm offensive into one of the nation’s last Democratic strongholds.<\/p>\n
