Reporter Travels to Tim Walz’s Hometown to Learn All Residents Are Voting Trump

Alpha News visited Blue Earth County, Minnesota, the hometown of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, to ask residents what they thought of him.

Walz, a former football coach at Mankato West High School, has a past filled with over exaggerated claims and falsehoods.

First, several residents interviewed said they were voting for Donald Trump, which isn’t a good start for Walz.

“We’re both voting for Trump. It’s really the only option,” one couple told Alpha News reporter Liz Collin.

Another resident, who admitted he didn’t vote for Trump in the last election, declared he would cast his ballot for the former president this time around.

“We’ve had a lot of activity with Trump,” said Doug Hitzemann, the Blue Earth County Republicans’ treasurer. “It just drives people to come in to get signs, just to talk, communicate, and have a good time talking about it.”

Blue Earth County has typically leaned Democratic, with the last Republican gubernatorial win dating back to 2002.

However, in 2016, Trump flipped the country, and it seems the trend is sticking for 2024.

Hitzemann expressed doubts about Walz’s impact on the Democratic ticket, saying, “She’s not a strong candidate, and I didn’t even think he was a strong candidate,” adding, “I don’t think he helped her ticket.”

Hitzemann said Walz’s image in Mankato is much different to his public persona.

“He acts like a conservative while he’s campaigning here, and the minute he gets across the river, he switches to his true self,” Hitzemann said.

“There’s a whole lot of things that are coming out about him that we never knew,” he added.

“I don’t see any more interest in the Democratic ticket because of him. I don’t believe so.”

Hitzemann also recalled Walz’s recent appearance at a local football game

“I don’t think he’s as well-liked here as they like to portray him,” Hitzemann noted.

“My understanding is that there were quite a few boos in the stand.”

He also noted that some of the players wore Trump T-shirts, highlighting the lack of enthusiasm for Walz.

Meanwhile, other residents highlighted other issues, such as high taxes and rising costs of living, as reasons for not voting for Harris.

“This state is one of the most expensive states to live in tax-wise,” said Hitzemann.

“We’ve got people leaving the state. That’s not good in the long run.”

“Groceries are high. I mean, formula is high, milk is high… it’s a big crisis right now,” said a 29-year-old father.

Another worker voiced anger at government spending.

“I work hard, 60-hour weeks. I’m a roofer, 45% of my check goes to taxes,” he said. “I’m Hispanic, and they say, ‘Oh, we’re here to help the Hispanics,’ but they’re sending money to Ukraine, a war that doesn’t belong to us. I’m a Republican, and I believe that God is a Republican, too. Times have changed.”

Does Walz’s connection to Mankato hold any significance?

“Not even a little bit,” one voter bluntly replied.

Chinese Student Accused Of Illegally Voting Will Still See Ballot Counted Despite Criminal Charges

A Chinese student accused of illegally voting has been charged with two crimes, but his vote will still count in the swing state’s final tally.

The 19-year-old student at the University of Michigan, who has not been named, is a non-U.S. citizen meaning he is ineligible to vote. However, on Sunday, Oct. 27, the student registered his residency using his student identification, signed a document declaring himself as a U.S. citizen, and cast his vote. The story here is just how easily it is to illegally vote.

Although he later contacted the local clerk office to retrieve his ballot, the student’s vote will still count due to state laws designed to protect anonymity making it impossible to identify which ballot is his.

Local media reports that Ann Arbor City Council members were made aware of “potential voter fraud in Ann Arbor” involving a UM student who’s a green card holder. “

“Through a series of actions, the student was apparently able to register, receive a ballot and cast a vote,” city administrator Milton Dohoney Jr. said in the email. “Based upon the scenario that we’re hearing this morning, the student was fully aware of what he was doing, and that it was not legal.”

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are tied in state polls, which the Democrat was expected to narrowly win earlier in the year.

Many on social media raised concerns over election integrity, with some critical of the student’s actions.

Others believed it effectively confirmed that illegal voters could still cast their ballot, even if they are not entitled to do so.

Kentucky County Clerk Confirms Video Where Voter Couldn’t Cast Ballot For Donald Trump “Did Occur” After Initial Denial

A Kentucky County Clerk was forced to issue a retraction just three hours after effectively denying a viral video where someone was unable to vote for Donald Trump.

Laurel County Clerk Tony Brown said on Thursday, Oct. 31 that there had been an “incident” with one of the electronic ballot marking devices. The incident in question came amid a voter’s video, where they tried to vote for Trump. Finger presses on the screen would either not select the Republican ticket, or default to Kamala Harris.

“We checked it and couldn’t make it recreate the incident reported,” Brown said in a since-deleted Facebook post. “We had no complaints prior to or after the complaint.”

Three hours later, Clark was forced to retract his initial statement.

“The Attorney General’s office has been to the vote center to check the device that has been shown across social media today. In full disclosure, after several minutes of attempting to recreate the scenario, it did occur,” Brown later said.

Many wondered why such incidents always seem to favor Democrats.

While one user acknowledged that mistakes can happen, he did question as to why it had not been spotted earlier in the election cycle.

It also raised doubts over election integrity.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy Destroyed By CNBC’s Joe Kernan In Heated Argument

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy struggled through an interview with CNBC’s Joe Kernan on Wednesday, Oct. 30, in a heated argument over taxation and Donald Trump.

The interview on “Squark Box” began with Kernan asking which of Kamala Harris’ left-wing policies were his favorite, with the Democrat expressing enthusiasm for ending the filibuster.

Kernan soon moved the conversation onto state taxation – an issue which affects the CNBC broadcaster as a resident of New Jersey. He asked whether it would be fair for him to pay 80% on his income tax, prompting an uncomfortable Murphy to reply, “you sound like you’re on the Trump campaign.”

Kernan and Murphy also clashed heads over the Department of Justice. Like many Democrats, Murphy tried to accuse Trump of threatening to weaponize the DoJ to prosecute political opponents even though the Republican himself has been indicted by the federal government.

“I’m wild about opponents having a voice and having a seat at the table as opposed to being thrown in jail or hunted down by our military,” Murphy said.

Kernan replied: “But we might throw Trump in jail. The Justice Department was not weaponized under Trump. It’s been weaponized under the current administration. Right?”

Murphy struggled to respond, repeatedly asking Kernan, “Are you kidding me?”

Much like his interview, Murphy was torn apart on social media.

Other users said the New Jersey Gov. resembled the majority of Harris supporters who are unable to defend her policies, instead opting to attack Trump.

Ohio Bakery That Predicted 9 Of Last 10 Past Elections Has Trump With 68% of the Vote

A “swing bakery” which has correctly predicted the outcome of every election bar one for the past four decades is reporting that Donald Trump is leading among customers.

Busken Bakery in Cincinnati, Ohio, encourages customers to purchase a cookie featuring a resemblance to their preferred presidential candidate. Customers who plan to vote for Donald Trump choose a cookie with his likeness, while those who are in favor of Kamala Harris buy accordingly.

By Sept. 24, Trump had opened up a 15-percentage point lead among customers in the bakery. That advantage has more than quadrupled, with the Republican leading by 68 points and mirroring a strong October for the former president.

In a Facebook post dated Oct. 29, Trump had 29,940 votes to his name, compared to just 11,521 for the Democrat. Third-party candidates – represented by a smiley face – have 2,090 votes altogether.

Remember, this is a bakery which has accurately predicted every election since 1984. The exception, of course, is 2020, where many suspect fraud.

Despite that, the poll is obviously still unscientific, and can be gamed by one side of the political aisle making a deliberate effort to go to their bakery – though with the huge margin seen above, that would obviously be hard to pull off. Simply put, to think nearly 20,000 Trump voters made an effort to go to a bakery to rig the results of a cookie poll seems unlikely.

Naturally, the comment section saw a divided audience, with Republicans offering their thoughts.

Democrats were often ridiculed for their responses.

Top Pollster Pinpoints Exact Moment Kamala Harris LOST the Election

Vice President Kamala Harris‘s presidential campaign is about to implode, as renowned pollster Frank Luntz highlighted the precise turning point at which she made a fatal mistake.

Harris’s campaign took a sharp downturn when she shifted her focus to attacking President Donald Trump.

Luntz, nicknamed “the Nostradamus of pollsters,” explained that Harris’s campaign hit a wall when she began focusing her efforts on attacking Trump. “The moment she turned anti-Trump and focused on him and said ‘don’t vote for me, vote against him.’ That’s when everything froze,” Luntz stated.

Watch:

Luntz’s assessment is also supported by recent polling data.
