FBI Issues Warning On Potential Election Fraud Schemes

WASHINGTON - MARCH 09: The seal of the F.B.I. hangs in the Flag Room at the bureau's headquaters March 9, 2007 in Washington, DC. F.B.I. Director Robert Mueller was responding to a report by the Justice Department inspector general that concluded the FBI had committed 22 violations in its collection of information through the use of national security letters. The letters, which the audit numbered at 47,000 in 2005, allow the agency to collect information like telephone, banking and e-mail records without a judicially approved subpoena.

The FBI warned this week that multiple types of election-related fraud schemes are targeting Americans that are voting, with the election being less than a week away. 

On Tuesday, the bureau stated that the scammers use slogans, names, and images of candidates running for an office position to steal victims’ personal information, to sell merchandise, and to fraudulently solicit campaign contributions. 

The law enforcement agency pointed out four ways voters could fall victim to election-related scams. Voters could be deceived into submitting funds to a joint pool of money to support a candidate. If the candidate wins, they have been promised money in return. 

Americans could also be fooled into thinking they are donating money to a real PAC, when in reality, the scammer who contacted them is not connected to the claimed organization, keeping the funds for themselves.  

Additionally, one can be scammed into buying merchandise with the logo of the candidate they support, but the company selling it is not involved with the campaign, and the item does not end up being shipped to the customer, the FBI continued. 

Finally, the bureau highlighted victims receiving emails or text messages alleging that they are not registered to vote in the state and telling them to follow a link to a fraudulent page meant to steal personally identifiable information. 

For more protection, the FBI said voters should be “cautious” when getting unsolicited calls, texts, and emails. They advised Americans not to click on any unknown links. The bureau also said that voters should check the status of the PACs on the Federal Election Commission website before donating any money. 

Anyone can check their voter registration status at www.vote.gov.

STEPHEN GARDNER: Trump issues BOMBSHELL legal threat!!

One week before the election, a serious case of election fraud has surfaced in Pennsylvania. Lancaster County detectives received 2,500 voter registration forms just before the submission deadline on October 21st. These forms, some dated as far back as June, are suspected of being submitted last minute to overwhelm election officials. ZeroHedge suggests this was likely a tactic to avoid detection. The fraud, which appears linked to a canvassing group, involved fake or forged registrations. Lancaster County DA Heather Adams believes the scam, stretching back to June, had most forms dated after August 15th. Some registrations used real names with forged signatures, and over 1,000 illegal votes could have been cast if this scheme hadn’t been caught. This isn't the only instance of interference. Ballot drop boxes were set on fire in Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington. While the Oregon box had fire protection, Vancouver's did not, possibly destroying hundreds of ballots. Additionally, in California, hundreds of ballots were found stuffed in a drainpipe instead of being delivered to voters' homes. With reports of fraud and voter interference, Trump has issued a significant legal threat, pointing to these incidents as proof that election fraud isn’t impossible. Meanwhile, Trump’s recent appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast has garnered 35 million views on YouTube. One key takeaway was Trump's suggestion to replace federal income tax with tariffs. Trump argued that tariffs on foreign countries taking U.S. jobs could fund the government, but Rogan pushed back, questioning if tariffs alone could support the entire economy. Trump also discussed his handling of ISIS and criticized the military leadership during Obama’s term for not eliminating the group sooner. He emphasized his claim that, under his watch, Putin wouldn’t have invaded Ukraine. While withholding specifics, Trump hinted that he had private conversations with Putin that likely deterred an invasion. CNN fact-checked the interview, highlighting 32 claims they said were false, including a statement about China flying 28 bombers over Taiwan the day he left office. While CNN noted the incident occurred on Biden’s third day in office and didn’t involve 28 bombers, the broader point remains about China’s provocative behavior.

Floridians have been issued urgent warnings to begin the largest evacuation in almost a decade as Hurricane Milton rapidly grew to a “life threatening” Category 4 storm containing 150 mph winds Monday, placing hundreds of thousands of residents still recovering from Helene at risk. 

Meanwhile, Milton is projected to hit Wednesday as a major hurricane in the Tampa Bay area, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center. 

Additionally, storm surge and hurricane watches were issued for Florida’s Gulf Coast as Milton “rapidly intensified” into a Category 4 storm with maximum sustained winds of 150 mph, according to the hurricane center.

Kevin Guthrie, the director of Florida’s emergency management division, urged residents to be prepared for the “largest evacuation that we have seen most likely since 2017 Hurricane Irma.” “I highly encourage you to evacuate,” Guthrie said during a press conference.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) said it was clear the state was going to be hit hard. 

“You have time to prepare … be sure your hurricane preparedness plan is in place,” DeSantis said Sunday.

“If you’re on that west coast of Florida, barrier islands, just assume you’ll be asked to leave.”

Furthermore, the hurricane center had warned that the hurricane posed “an increasing risk of life-threatening storm surge from Milton for portions of the west coast of the Florida Peninsula beginning Tuesday night or early Wednesday,”

“Residents should follow any advice given by local officials and evacuate if told to do so,” the federal agency warned.

“I’m just gonna distill it down and put it in some plain speak — everybody’s just got to get out,” warned Sheriff Bob Gualtieri of Pinellas County, which includes Clearwater and St. Petersburg.

“This is going to be bad. That’s all you need to know,” he said of warnings the storm surge could top 8 feet along his county’s coastal regions.

“There’s going to reach a point where you are on your own, because we are not going to get our people killed because you don’t want to listen to what we’re saying.”

On Saturday at Gun Owners of America’s inaugural Advocacy and Leadership Summit, President Donald Trump virtually addressed the crowd of attendees with both words of encouragement and a warning about the siege facing Second Amendment rights in the lead-up to the November election.

President Trump’s speech, which was warmly received by the crowd, comes at a time when Second Amendment rights face some of their greatest threats in history. Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and anti-gun tyrants in Congress and state legislatures across the country have unleashed a relentless assault against guns, owners, and dealers nationwide.

In his speech, President Trump addressed gun owners in America by name, saying, among other things:

“When I am President, I will always listen to Gun Owners of America. I want to congratulate all of you, because you’ve really come a long way in a short period of time…”

“Kamala Harris has supported gun confiscation schemes throughout her career…”

“I ask all of the gun owners to get out and vote…”

Watch the full video above.

Tim Macy, the Chairman of Gun Owners of America, issued the following statement:

“We’re incredibly grateful to President Trump for taking the time to address our attendees. Without a doubt, this was President Trump’s strongest take on gun rights to date, and coupled with Senator Vance as his running mate, gun owners have a clear choice this November.”

Erich Pratt, GOA’s Senior Vice President, added:

“Our rights are absolutely on the ballot, and it’s essential that gun owners do everything we can to turn out the pro-gun vote and ensure Kamala Harris is not the next occupant of the White House.”
