Kamala Harris appeared to get caught acting once again. While attending a phone banking event in Washington, D.C., Kamala Harris appeared to pretend to be on the phone with a voter who voted for her. Harris was reportedly caught faking the phone call after she pointed the phone to the crowd. This revealed that she may not have been on the phone due to her camera app opening on her phone.

In the political showdown that is Maricopa County, Republicans are charging to the polls, leaving Democrats in the dust. And with President Trump supporters making up over two-thirds of Election Day voters, the blue team is looking more than a little outnumbered. So far 42.5% of the votes coming in are for Trump. Only a measly 20% is for Kamala. So what are Democrats to do? Did they see this coming? Would that explain the numerous recent articles coming out stating that it will “take some time” to know the results for Maricopa? Some reports estimating it will take 10-14 days to get the results. Maricopa County, Arizona, day-of voting: Total Ballots Cast: 56,215 Republican: 23,919 (42.5%) Democrat: 11,324 (20.1%) Other: 20,972 (37.3%) Net Gain: Republicans +12,595 pic.twitter.com/sI8Y3QSW1i — Alex Salvi (@alexsalvinews) November 5, 2024 ARIZONA POLL: @Data_Orbital Trump: 49.7% (+7.8) Harris: 41.9% Other: 2.0%——AZ Senate Lake: 45.2% (+0.7) Gallego: 44.5% Other: 1.6% #8 (2.8/3.0) | 10/26-28 | 550 LV | ±4.26https://t.co/f0qlS4G1kE pic.twitter.com/WGwtGrFNNX — InteractivePolls (@IAPolls2022) October 29, 2024 Local Maricopa CBS news reports: PHOENIX (AZFamily) — The Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center (MCTEC) is a hub of activity on Tuesday for Election Day, and it will likely remain that way for the better part of two weeks. MCTEC is where ballots are counted for the county. Officials say this year, expect to wait for results. Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer said the ballot-counting process will take 10 to 14 days. The timeline is consistent with previous election cycles. Inside the building, there are bipartisan teams of Republicans, Democrats and Independents working overtime to process all the ballots. Richer said about 100 people are working at all times. The teams are responsible for removing the two-page ballot from its envelope and checking that it’s not damaged and both pages are there. As of Monday afternoon, about 1.4 million ballot packets have been signature-verified in Maricopa County. That’s out of nearly 2.6 million registered voters in the county. Polls close Tuesday at 7 p.m. It’s important to note, voters who are in line at 7 p.m. will still be allowed to vote. We will continue to keep an eye on Maricopa County. Hi everyone! Positive news from the ground in Maricopa County! Things are going well, issues are being handled, and the main issue is those Arizona voters who haven’t gotten in line and voted!

Several election ballot scanners are currently inoperative at multiple polling locations in Cambria County in Pennsylvania. Bedford experienced a limited issue with opening machines for voting, which was resolved quickly, county officials said. The Pennsylvania Department of State said that it is in contact with officials in Cambria County to resolve the technical issues. Cambria County attorney Ron Repak said that a software malfunction had caused the issue, and that a court order had been filed to extend voting times. “The Cambria County Board of Election learned early this morning that a software malfunction in the County’s Electronic Voting System has prevented voters from scanning their ballots. This should not discourage voters from voting at their voting precincts,” he said in a statement, according to local outlet WJAC. The Department of State is in contact with county officials in Cambria County. Voters are continuing to vote by paper ballot, in accordance with normal operations, while the county resolves the issue with in-precinct scanning.

Cambria County attorney Ron Repak said that a software malfunction had caused the issue, and that a court order had been filed to extend voting times. “The Cambria County Board of Election learned early this morning that a software malfunction in the County’s Electronic Voting System has prevented voters from scanning their ballots. This should not discourage voters from voting at their voting precincts,” he said in a statement, according to local outlet WJAC. “The Board has filed a Court Order extending the time to vote within Cambria County. No one should be turned away from the polls if they wish to cast their vote. “Cambria County Board of Elections took measures to have IT specialists called to review the software issue. There is a process in place for issues of this nature. All completed ballots will be accepted, secured, and counted by the Board of Elections.” He added: “The County Board of Elections has express voting machines at precinct locations to continue to allow voting electronically, while still allowing hand ballots to be cast. The County Board of Elections will be continuing to monitor this issue and take any necessary action to ensure that all voters have an opportunity to cast their ballots. Obviously, many people are asking the question: why are we going through this again?  Why has there not been changes to the system to mitigate any potential for these “glitches” and “malfunctions”, like simply going to a full paper ballot system across the board — like we used to use with no “glitches”? Dear GOP lawyers: when the voting machines “glitch” that means Democrats are rigging them. Tell your local clerk or election official to file an EMERGENCY SUIT immediately! Stop the machines from being “updated” or “patched.” Instead, ballots must be HANDCOUNTED. — Emerald Robinson (@EmeraldRobinson) November 5, 2024 This is a developing story, and the day is almost certain to be full of more stories like this, and hopefully quick solutions.  We will bring you updates as they become available.

Elon Musk plans to spend the election night alongside President Trump in Mar-a-Lago. Musk, one of Trump’s biggest supporters, has spent the last month campaigning for him in Pennsylvania. As election results come in, Musk will be alongside the 45th president.

Trump, giving Mr. Trump direct access to the person controlling one of key information platforms on what could be a chaotic evening. Mr. Musk, according to three people with knowledge of his schedule, plans to be at Mar-a-Lago for some of the evening festivities in Palm Beach, Fla. He will be among a small group watching the returns with Mr. Trump as they come in, according to two people with knowledge of the plan. Mr. Trump is hosting several parties with varying levels of exclusivity, including a dinner for a small number of donors at Mar-a-Lago and an even smaller gathering for those who will hang out with him during the evening. Mr. Trump will then address a larger group, including other donors, at the Palm Beach Convention Center later in the evening. Mr. Musk is joining the evening as a Trump superfan. He has spent at least $119 million on a super PAC supporting Mr. Trump and has held events on his behalf in Pennsylvania. He and Mr. Trump talk several times a week.

There are reports coming out of Houston, specifically Harris County Texas, regarding thousands of discrepancies with the daily vote tally.  The issue concerns alleged inaccurate voting turnout counts related to the tracking spreadsheet used in the vote counting process, with the County Clerk saying the discrepancy was “accidental”. One Texas State Senate candidate, Joseph Trahan, stated on X that somewhere between 2000-3000 ballots a day were involved in the discrepancy, with the total daily count showing only 711 votes the next morning in once incident he was aware of.

THIS is merely one of many astounding feats overcoming the limitations of time and space, physics, Rodney Ellis’ team has been able to achieve. Me, my team and other candidates worked HCC Southloop many days of the early voting period. For instance, Wednesday we know for a fact we passed out 1000 campaign buttons to voters that exited the polling location with a “I Voted” sticker, many of which we had spoken with as they were entering the polling location. Wednesday Oct 30 at HCC 610 loop easily 2,500 voters entered that voting center by all accounts and this morning Harris County Central Count adjusted that number to 711? Over 60 daily totals shifted from heavy “Republican” polling locations to heavy “Democrat” polling locations. We want answers. Left Totals at polls closing Friday evening and these numbers lasted online until the morning where the image at right shifted 60 different daily totals as indicated entirely inconsistent with first hand on site witnesses at these polling locations. According to a similar post on X by Caroline Kane who is running for the U.S. House seat for Texas’ Congressional District 7, the Harris County discrepancies are “huge” and, according to Kane, have effected the voting tallies of 60 different polling locations.  Oddly, Kane pointed to the beginning and end of the alphabetical list as remaining unchanged, but says that the “entire middle” of the data report was impacted.

These should NOT CHANGE, yet 60 polling locations have indeed changed. The beginning of the list and end of alphabetical list are all nearly the same. The entire middle of the report is off. Look at “HCC West Loop South,” for instance. Where did the votes go? Perhaps some went to “Samuel Matthews Park Community Center”? I check these numbers daily to check traffic and assign volunteers for the following day. All was consistent day-to-day until today -when everything changed. What is going on here @harriscotxclerk ? According to a report from local news outlet KHOU-TV 11 in Houston carried on MSN.com, the Harris County Clerk has suggested that the numbers “could be off” because of a formatting issue with the spreadsheet used to track the data. Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth announced Monday that early voting turnout numbers across the county could be off due to a formatting issue within the spreadsheet they use to keep track of the numbers. In a statement, Hudspeth said cells shifted for some of the voting centers in the spreadsheet and showed “incorrect numbers for other locations.” It’s unclear how many locations the shift affected. Teneshia Hudspeth, the Harris County Clerk, issued a statement according to the Harris County Elections Department regarding the Daily Record of Early Voting Totals for the General Election.

Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Nov. 4 there were errors in the county’s daily record of early voting totals at two vote centers due to an inadvertent shifting in the cells of the spreadsheet used to track totals. However, county officials said as of the morning of Nov. 5 those errors have been corrected. Rosio Torres-Segura, the administrator for communications for the Harris County Clerk’s office, said in an email Nov. 5, “The error referenced in yesterday’s statement has already been corrected. You can view the updated Early Voting Unofficial Report on our website. This will not affect the timing of results released tonight.” This is a developing story, and we will bring you updates as more information becomes available.
