Judge orders new election in Louisiana due to voter fraud
Democrats and Media Allies Deny Election Irregularities, But Evidence Mounts
Since the chaotic and irregular 2020 election, Democrats and their hack-tastic legacy media allies have felt the compulsive need to claim U.S. elections are immune from error or illegalities. Anyone who dares to raise questions about the hundreds of millions of “Zuckbucks” poured into local election offices, Big Tech censorship, unlawful changing of election laws, or illegal use of ballot drop boxes in states like Wisconsin — all to the benefit of Democrats — is immediately labeled as an “election denier.”
A Bombshell Story Ignored by Regime-Approved “Journalists”
So, it should come as no surprise that regime-approved “journalists” are largely ignoring a bombshell story out of Louisiana, where a judge just ordered a new election in a local race for sheriff after it was discovered there was enough voter fraud to call into question the outcome. According to Newsweek, the case centers on the Nov. 18 race for Caddo Parish sheriff, in which initial results indicated that Democrat Henry Whitehorn defeated Republican John Nickelson by one vote.
The closeness of the race prompted a recount that discovered “three additional votes for each candidate” and resulted in Whitehorn being declared the victor. Nickelson subsequently filed a lawsuit contesting the election in response, arguing, as Newsweek summarized, that “the count was done too quickly and could not be accurate.”
Extensive Irregularities Merit a New Election
In his Tuesday decision, Ad hoc Judge Joe Bleich determined there were extensive irregularities meriting a new election, including “two people [who] voted twice, five mail-in ballots [that] should not have been counted for failure to comply with the law, and … four invalid votes by interdicted persons who were unqualified voters.”
“This runoff election involved a one-vote margin. It was proven beyond any doubt that there were at least 11 illegal votes cast and counted. It is legally impossible to know what the true vote should have been,” Bleich wrote.
Bleich further ordered that a new runoff election be held next year, with the earliest possible date being March 23. That date could be subject to change, however, as Whitehorn has appealed the decision to the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeal. The case could ultimately make its way to the Louisiana Supreme Court.
Illegalities in U.S. Elections Extend Beyond Louisiana
But Caddo Parish’s sheriff election is hardly the only instance of illegalities documented in U.S. elections in recent months. Earlier this year, for instance, a Connecticut superior court ordered a new mayoral primary election in Bridgeport after it was determined there was enough fraud involving absentee ballots to warrant a new contest. While initial results showed incumbent Mayor Joe Ganim beating challenger John Gomes by 251 votes, surveillance footage released after the election showed what appeared to be a city employee affiliated with Ganim’s campaign “stuffing ballot boxes.”
Gomes initially led Ganim among votes cast in person. It wasn’t until after the absentee ballots were counted that Ganim eclipsed his challenger.
In determining there was enough evidence to call into question the election’s legitimacy, the judge presiding over the case overturned the election, ruling that another Democrat primary and subsequent general contest would be held if Ganim won the originally scheduled general on Nov. 7. With Ganim having been declared the winner of that election, a new Democrat primary has been set for Jan. 23.

How have Democrats and their media allies responded to claims of election irregularities and voter fraud?
Ourt for a final ruling.
Pattern of Denial and Suppression
This case in Louisiana is just one example of the mounting evidence of election irregularities that Democrats and their media allies dismiss and suppress. From the refusal to investigate widespread claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election to the suppression of information regarding Hunter Biden’s laptop, Democrats and the media have consistently sought to downplay or ignore any evidence that challenges their preferred narrative.
Even the term “election denier” is used as a smokescreen to attack and discredit anyone who raises legitimate concerns about election integrity. Instead of engaging in a thoughtful and open discussion about the flaws and vulnerabilities in our election system, those who dare to question the status quo are labeled as conspiracy theorists or extremists.
It’s clear that Democrats and their media allies are more interested in protecting their own power and agenda than ensuring the integrity and fairness of our elections. By denying and dismissing any evidence of irregularities, they undermine public trust in the electoral process and perpetuate a system that is rife with potential for abuse.
Importance of Holding Election Officials Accountable
The Louisiana case also highlights the importance of holding election officials accountable for their actions. In this instance, it was the judge who recognized the irregularities and ordered a new election. Without individuals like Judge Joe Bleich, who are willing to uphold the law and demand transparency, these incidents of fraud and misconduct would go unchecked.
We must continue to demand that election officials adhere to the highest standards of integrity and transparency. This includes thorough investigations into any allegations of wrongdoing and swift action to rectify any proven irregularities. Our democracy depends on it.
The evidence of election irregularities continues to mount, despite the denials and suppression from Democrats and their media allies. It is imperative that we remain vigilant in our pursuit of fair and trustworthy elections. Without a system that safeguards the sanctity of our vote, we risk undermining the very foundation of our democracy. We must hold our elected officials accountable and demand an electoral process that is free from bias, manipulation, and fraud.
