Article Says Enough Democrats Participated in Republican Primaries in 2022 in Georgia and North Carolina to Influence Outcome

This article presents data to show that enough persons who had voted in Georgia in Democratic primaries in 2020 voted in the 2022 Republican primary, and caused Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to win his primary outright.

It also shows that enough Democrats in North Carolina changed their registration to “Republican” so as to vote in this year’s Republican primary and cause the defeat of Congressman Madison Cawthorn.

Georgia has open primaries, in which there is no registration by party, and any voter is free to choose any party’s primary ballot.

North Carolina has partisan registration. Independents can vote in any party’s primary they wish, but party members can only vote in their own party’s primary. Therefore, party-switchers must re-register in advance of any primary.

Dr. Mehmet Oz Asks U.S. Supreme Court to Block Third Circuit Ruling on Ballots in Which Voter Forgot to Date the Outer Envelope

On Monday, May 30, Dr. Mehmet Oz asked the U.S. Supreme Court for permission to file an amicus brief in Ritter v Migliori, 21A772. This is the case in which the Third Circuit used the “materiality” portion of the federal Voting Rights Act to rule that Pennsylvania ballots in which the voter forgot to add a date to the signature should still count. The Third Circuit ruling noted that all postal ballots receive a date-stamp when they are received.

Here is the proposed amicus, which doesn’t even discuss the federal Voting Rights Act, and which says that allowing such ballots might interfere with the recount currently underway in the May 2022 Republican U.S. Senate primary. The amicus also says that allowing such ballots (all of whom concern a general election for local office in 2021) would confuse the voters.
