The Republican Party of Philadelphia, PhillyGOP, alleged that poll watchers were forced to leave a voting station at a Philadelphia recreation center. PhillyGOP stated that “Biden pamphlets are being handed out at the door!”
Poll watchers serve to protect against voting process violations and unruly behavior at polling places. They have to be registered voters and can belong to any party. The Trump campaign says that they have mobilized over 50,000 confirmed poll watchers.
PhillyGOP also tweeted that “The liberal-backed Election Protection Coalition, who aren't certified poll watchers, are breaking the law by entering the voting room and interfering with votes.”
They reported that poll watchers were denied access to voting sites in Bucks and Montgomery Counties, among other areas. Bucks County was closely contested in 2016, going for Hillary Clinton by less than one percentage point. A photo posted on Twitter this morning showed a sign next to the entrance of a Bucks County polling site with the names of Republican candidates blurred out.
Another Twitter user tweeted a video of a Democratic committeewoman from North Philadelphia halting the entry of poll watchers. She said that watchers’ legal access to voting stations was “a rule that ain’t worth being followed.”

Twitter users also continue to find instances of Democratic electioneering at voting sites. Mike Roman tweeted a picture of a sign promoting Democratic Party candidates taped next to the door of a Philadelphia public school with a polling station inside.

If all the votes are added up in PA, Trump is going to lose. That’s why he’s working overtime to subtract as many votes as possible from this process. For the record, he’s 0-6 against us in court.

Editor's note: The original story continues below.
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania, November 3, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Concerns about election fraud have been heightened by allegations that poll watchers are being denied access to polling stations in Philadelphia.
According to Mike Roman, the Trump campaign’s Election Day Operations (EDO) Director, “the steal is on” as polling stations prevent official Republican poll watchers from coming inside.
“Democrat election officials banning Trump poll watchers in Philly,” Roman tweeted over footage of a card-carrying poll watcher being refused entry. “This is happening all over the City. The steal is on!”

The video shows how poll workers are prohibiting a man, whose “Watcher’s Certificate” allows him to be a poll watcher anywhere in Philadelphia, from entering the polling location.
The role of the poll watcher is to maintain a quiet presence in a polling station to deter fights and violations of the voting process. They must be on the electoral roll, and they can belong to any party. They are supposed to protect voters from manipulation and intimidation.
Roman, who was a senior advisor to the Trump campaign in 2016, also posted a photograph he said showed two people in a Philadelphia polling booth and a photograph of a man apparently handing out Democratic campaign material inside a polling station.
“Illegal campaigning inside of a polling location in Philly,” he wrote. “Man in blue is handing out Dem literature to voters in line to vote. This is why Dems are keeping Trump watchers out. They are stealing [the election]! This needs to stop!”

The Philadelphia Republican Party also tweeted out photographs and stories about alleged violations of the electoral process by Democrats.
“Certified Republican poll watchers are being kicked out of Mitchum Wilson Funeral Home, Wharton Rec Center, AND Greater Mt. Sinai Baptist Church. Watchers are told their certification doesn’t mean anything,” tweeted Philly GOP.
“[Councilmember Kenyatta Johnson], what’s going on in your district?”
Philly GOP also published photographs of Democrat campaigning within ten feet of polling stations, and a video they alleged showed mail-in ballot fraud.

“The role of declaring the winner of a presidential election in the U.S. falls to the news media. The broadcast networks and cable news outlets have vowed to be prudent. Here’s how it will work,” the left-leaning newspaper tweeted, before linking to an article on how the media will report on election day.
After the Times deleted the tweet, the newspaper explained it had referred “imprecisely to the role of the news media in the U.S. presidential election. The news media projects winners and reports results; it does not declare the winner of the election.”

lifesitenews--2020-11-04--Oregon Dem governor sued for allowing public schools to open while keeping Christian schools closed

November 3 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Oregon Gov .
Kate Brown has again been sued for targeting religious groups with discriminatory coronavirus measures .
Alliance Defending Freedom ( ADF ) filed a lawsuit against the Democrat for forcing small private religious schools to remain closed while allowing similar-sized public schools to operate .
The suit was filed on behalf of Hermiston Christian School , which has a student population of about 50 .
The school is permitted to operate as a daycare , but teachers offering care could be jailed or fined for teaching while monitoring the children @ @ @ @ @ @ @ eight different sets of guidelines for schools since the beginning of the pandemic .
Through June and July , private religious schools were told they would be allowed to resume in-person classes in the fall .

The version released September 8 allowed schools in “ small public districts ” with enrollment of 75 or fewer students to work with the local public health authorities “ to establish the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s ) in the district to in-person instruction.
” Ryan Tucker , ADF senior counsel and director of the Center for Christian Ministries , wrote at The Federalist that this rule had originally included private schools but was “ quietly changed ” a week later , stating instead , “ This same rule does not extend the same benefit to private religious schools , effectively ensuring that parents who need to send their students to school will be forced to send them to public schools , even if they would prefer a private @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ADF lawsuit , the state updated its guidelines once again on October 30 , substantially altering the section on exceptions containing the above rule .

Churches sue governor of Oregon for extended crackdown on religious services

Alliance Defending Freedom filed a lawsuit against Gov. Kate Brown in what appears to be a case of religious discrimination.
November 3, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Oregon Gov. Kate Brown has again been sued for targeting religious groups with discriminatory coronavirus measures. Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) filed a lawsuit against the Democrat for forcing small private religious schools to remain closed while allowing similar-sized public schools to operate.
The suit was filed on behalf of Hermiston Christian School, which has a student population of about 50. The school is permitted to operate as a daycare, but teachers offering care could be jailed or fined for teaching while monitoring the children.
The state has issued at least eight different sets of guidelines for schools since the beginning of the pandemic. Through June and July, private religious schools were told they would be allowed to resume in-person classes in the fall. Many of these schools invested significant amounts of money to ensure coronavirus protocols could be met, only to be denied permission to operate.
The version released September 8 allowed schools in “small public districts” with enrollment of 75 or fewer students to work with the local public health authorities “to establish the criteria … and open the school(s) in the district to in-person instruction.”
Ryan Tucker, ADF senior counsel and director of the Center for Christian Ministries, wrote at The Federalist that this rule had originally included private schools but was “quietly changed” a week later, stating instead, “This same rule does not extend the same benefit to private religious schools, effectively ensuring that parents who need to send their students to school will be forced to send them to public schools, even if they would prefer a private religious school.”
Seemingly in response to the ADF lawsuit, the state updated its guidelines once again on October 30, substantially altering the section on exceptions containing the above rule. The new rule states that “small and remote” private and public schools with enrollments of 75 or fewer students can reopen if they meet certain criteria. Most important, it specifies that such schools must be “more than 25 miles by the nearest traveled road form any town or city with a population of over 3,000 people.”
In a statement given to LifeSiteNews, Tucker wrote of this rule change, “It is a shame that it took a federal lawsuit for the state to change its unconstitutional policy of allowing small public schools to open while denying that option to similarly-sized religious schools. Oregon should not be singling out religious schools for worse treatment.”
Despite the fact that Hermiston Christian School is in a town of more than 3,000 people and so will be required to remain closed under the current rules, Tucker is committed to continue helping them. “But now, the state has imposed different restrictions that still make it difficult for Hermiston Christian. We will continue our lawsuit and work with our client so it can re-open for in-person instruction, just like another small public school is doing in the same county,” he wrote.
This is not the first religious discrimination case in Oregon that ADF has pursued. In May, ADF sued the Democrat governor for banning church services of more than 25 people when other businesses, such as restaurants, were permitted a greater capacity.
The state loosened restrictions on church services in response to that lawsuit, which was subsequently dropped. Churches were then allowed up to 250 participants as long as they could maintain social distancing between groups. The limit was reduced to 100 in July, and new restrictions imposed in September have reduced them even further.

What’s more, Biden plans on raising taxes by more than three trillion dollars – a move which could severely hurt the average American family. Additionally, President Trump backs school choice for all American families, which will allow parents to choose the school that best meets the needs of their children. However, former Vice President Biden supports policies that are not in favor school choice. His policies would hurt families by keeping parents from choosing a school that would help their children and provide them with the best opportunities. Finally, President Trump's administration has co-sponsored the Geneva Consensus Declaration, which reaffirms that “the family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State", and which seeks to achieve the "strengthening of family as the foundational unit of society." While, earlier this year, former Vice President Biden revealed his “LGBTQ+ and equality” plan, which he will use to “protect,” “enforce,” and “advance” the homosexual agenda and homosexual “rights." ON FAITH President Trump’s second-term agenda includes the promise to "defend the freedoms of religious believers and organizations." Former Vice President Biden stands against conscience rights - vowing to sue the Little Sisters of the Poor to force them to pay for abortion and contraceptives. And, Biden also stands against religious freedom, as he and the Democrats support mandating that pro-life Christian business-owners, like cake bakers, violate their religious beliefs. ON FREEDOM If re-elected, President Trump has promised to minimize lockdowns and mask mandates. If elected, former Vice President Biden has promised to enact a nationwide mask mandate, and allow more lockdowns. ________________________ Now that you know where the candidates stand, please consider voting to preserve Life, the Family, our Faith, and our Freedoms!

Additionally, President Trump backs school choice for all American families, which will allow parents to choose the school that best meets the needs of their children.
However, former Vice President Biden supports policies that are not in favor school choice. His policies would hurt families by keeping parents from choosing a school that would help their children and provide them with the best opportunities.
Finally, President Trump's administration has co-sponsored the Geneva Consensus Declaration, which reaffirms that “the family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State", and which seeks to achieve the "strengthening of family as the foundational unit of society."
While, earlier this year, former Vice President Biden revealed his “LGBTQ+ and equality” plan, which he will use to “protect,” “enforce,” and “advance” the homosexual agenda and homosexual “rights."
ON FAITH
President Trump’s second-term agenda includes the promise to "defend the freedoms of religious believers and organizations."
Former Vice President Biden stands against conscience rights - vowing to sue the Little Sisters of the Poor to force them to pay for abortion and contraceptives. And, Biden also stands against religious freedom, as he and the Democrats support mandating that pro-life Christian business-owners, like cake bakers, violate their religious beliefs.
ON FREEDOM
If re-elected, President Trump has promised to minimize lockdowns and mask mandates.
If elected, former Vice President Biden has promised to enact a nationwide mask mandate, and allow more lockdowns.

Pro-life voters have many reasons to favor Trump, not least of which is the fact that he is the only American president to have addressed the March for Life in person. After his first 100 days in office, LifeSiteNews was able to list the a number of pro-life achievements:
Made strong pro-life appointments to key positions, including Vice President Mike Pence, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, HHS Secretary Tom Price, Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway;
Reinstated the Mexico City Policy to stop tax dollars paying for abortions overseas;
Defunded the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), “which is complicit in China's birth limitation policy that includes forced abortion”;
Enacted the Congressional Review Act H.J. Res 43 to allow states the option to prioritize Title X funding away from Planned Parenthood — “undoing Obama's gift to Planned Parenthood that forced states to fund the abortion giant”;
Confirmed pro-life Justice Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court and “kept his promise to only appoint pro-life justices to the Supreme Court” by confirming Judge Gorsuch;
Supported legislation in the U.S. House that repeals Obamacare and redirects taxpayer funding from Planned Parenthood to community health centers.
To these early pro-life actions, others can be added, even in the current year.
In January, “the HHS Office for Civil Rights announced that it issued a Notice of Violation to the state of California, formally notifying the Golden State that it cannot impose universal abortion coverage mandates on health insurance plans and issuers in violation of federal conscience laws.”
In June, the Trump administration withheld another $32 million from the UN’s Population Fund under the Kemp-Kasten amendment, which prohibits giving federal funds to organizations supporting coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization. In September, he signed the Born Alive Executive Order “to ensure that all precious babies born alive, no matter their circumstances, receive the medical care that they deserve.”
Most recently, Trump nominated the pro-life judge, Amy Coney Barrett, to the Supreme Court and she was confirmed last week. He had pledged to appoint pro-life judges during his tenure, and of the 200 judicial nominees who have been confirmed by the senate, 20 have been listed by the pro-abortion NARAL as “anti-choice.”

lifesitenews--2020-11-03--Biden prepares to ignore Trump, form government if mainstream media declares him winner: report

GREENVILLE , Delaware , November 3 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — If mainstream media declares Joe Biden the winner of tonight ’ s election , “ he plans to address the nation as its new leader , even if President Trump continues to fight in court , ” Axios reports .
It is normally customary for winners of elections to wait to celebrate victory until after their opponent has conceded the race .
Therefore , this leak from Biden “ advisors ” seems to indicate an expectation of contested results .
Jen O'Malley Dillon , Biden ’ s campaign @ @ @ @ @ @ @ much as well stating , “ We 're not really concerned about what Donald Trump says .
... We 're going to use our data , our understanding of where this is headed , and make sure that the vice president is addressing the American people . ''
Biden ’ s Tuesday night schedule includes , as the report indicates , “ a clue to this posture , ” slating the former vice president to “ address the nation on Election Night in Wilmington , Delaware . ''
“ So if Biden is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ continues , “ he 'll begin forming his government and looking presidential — and wo n't yield to doubts Trump might try to sow.
” These comments from the Biden camp come immediately after big tech social media giants have moved to shut down any reporting of election results which contradict an “ authoritative ” mainstream media pronouncement .
As NBC reported , these moves by the big tech companies were intended to suppress “ a new generation of polling experts and election watchers ” who , through the advent of the internet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ around the nation , “ some of whom started out as hobbyists before turning pro.
” The story quotes Claire Wardle , U.S. director of First Draft News , a left-leaning organization with a goal of fighting “ misinformation , ” which has also “ partnered with NBC News.
” Like the Biden campaign , Ms. Wardle too seems to expect a contested election stating , “ Nobody is ready for the scale of what we 're going to see on election night . ''
The story reports that she “ fears ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ political hobbyist , ” will “ help shape public perceptions of the outcome.
” A particular concern worthy of mention for the NBC piece , was that President Trump may claim the election was “ rigged , ” and his supporters , with “ a sizable online network , ” are “ poised to amplify any ( such ) claims.
” In order to combat such a significant threat , as free speech from the President of the United States , Twitter ’ s new policy states , “ People on Twitter , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claim an election win before it is authoritatively called.
” Authoritative sources , for the Democrat-dominated company , include “ an announcement from state election officials , or a public projection from at least two authoritative , national news outlets that make independent election calls.
” Thus , it would seem , that according to Twitter ’ s new censorship policy , the naming of the winner of the presidential election is in the hands of “ at least two … national news outlets , ” who have lost the trust of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of President Trump .
As is evident from media collusion in the “ Russia hoax , ” and the impeachment hoax , not to mention the alarm about the enormous power of Big Tech companies over discourse in the public square and their resulting interference in the election process , the loss of trust of Americans in these organizations is very well justified .
As recently observed by Tucker Carlson who asked “ why have n't you heard more about ” the recent “ confirmed … criminal investigation ” by the FBI into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?

They 're collaborating with the intelligence agencies that spy on Americans with impunity .
They 're collaborating with the tech monopolies that have choked off the average person 's access to legitimate information.
” “ Why are they doing it , ” Carlson continued .
“ Well , because these people are not your allies .
They 're not trying to help you or inform you .
Just the opposite .
These people are your enemies .
They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ obey.
” Should such a speech take place , Axios reports , Americans can expect “ Biden to embrace science , and talk up the role of Dr. Anthony Fauci , ” who has advocated for a prolongation of “ public-health measures , ” including mask mandates “ into 2022.

November 3, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – In an apparent attempt to avoid repeating its 2016 embarrassment, the New York Times has abandoned its famous “needle” used to predict the probable winner of the 2020 presidential election.
“We will have needles for three battleground states [Georgia, Florida, and North Carolina], but unlike in 2016, we will not offer a single needle to tell you the overall likelihood of who will win the presidency,” the Times’ Nate Cohn and Josh Katz explained Monday.
Ostensibly, the reason for this change is to account for the prevalence of early and mail-in voting this year, thanks largely to COVID-19.
“Unfortunately for the needle, most counties and precincts don’t reliably report their vote by vote method,” they continue. “Our three ‘needle’ battleground states will be Florida, Georgia and North Carolina, for a simple reason: These states give us the kind of data we need to offer accurate estimates of the final vote.

“These states won’t by themselves tell us who will win the election, but they should tell us a lot about where it’s headed,” Cohn and Katz write.
However, mainstream media critics wonder if the real reason for the change has more to do with the black eye the paper suffered during the previous election when it gave Hillary Clinton an 85% chance of defeating President Donald Trump. That and similar projections from numerous other media outlets quickly became a recurring source of mockery from conservatives on social media for the next few years, as well as a bullet point for claims that the mainstream media is either out of touch with the broader electorate or was trying to depress pro-Trump turnout.

“It is the mission of the Catholic Church to pass moral judgments on matters related to politics, whenever the fundamental rights of men require,” says Fr. Francis Stevenson of Corpus Christi Parish in Lake Tahoe in a short 42-second video.
“The Democratic Party and Joe Biden have brought shame and horror to this nation. They have legalized the murder of innocent babies during birth,” he adds. “We are outraged. Catholics must uphold human rights, avoid sin and cannot vote for abortion candidates, cannot vote for Biden.”
Stevenson, whose parish is in the Diocese of Sacramento, is one of more than a dozen cardinals, bishops, and priests who have spoken out strongly against Biden and his running mate, California senator Kamala Harris, both of whom are endorsed by abortion giant Planned Parenthood.
Some Catholic clerics have also warned against voting for the Democratic Party ticket of Biden and Harris not only because of their unfettered support for abortion, but also because of their positions on marriage and religious liberty.
California, the most populous state, has 53 representatives in the U.S. House of Representatives and two senators, and therefore has 55 of the 538 Electoral College votes. The Golden State is notorious as a solidly Democratic Party state.
Although Catholic prelates do not officially endorse a candidate for the November 3 national election, they are able to form the consciences of the faithful by highlighting the most important issues and moral principles to consider while casting their vote.
American prelates who have warned Catholics against voting for the Biden-Harris ticket are Cardinal Raymond Cardinal Burke, Bishop Thomas Paprocki (Springfield, Illinois); Bishop Thomas Daly (Spokane, Washington); Bishop Richard Sticka (Knoxville, Tennessee); Bishop Joseph Strickland (Tyler, Texas); Bishop Thomas Tobin (Providence, Rhode Island); as well as German Cardinal Gerhard Müller and Italian Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, the former nuncio to the United States.
Moreover, Fr. James Altman of Lacrosse, Wisconsin, rose to fame with his viral video, “You cannot be Catholic & a Democrat. Period.”
Other priests who have voiced similar warnings include Fr. Kevin M. Cusick, rescue priest Fr. Stephen Imbarrato, Fr. Frank Pavone of Priest for Life, Fr. Michael Orsi and Fr. Edward Meeks.

Sign this Petition Donald Trump/Joe Biden Photo Credit: White House/Flickr | mark reinstein/Shutterstock.com Core conservative and Christian values are at stake in the upcoming election. So, it's vital that we - and our family and friends - know which candidate will defend them. Please SIGN this open letter which calls for the preservation of our core values of Life, Family, Faith and Freedom. Then, please USE and SHARE our 2020 LifeSite Voter Guide: https://www.lifesitenews.com/votelife The following core conservative and Christian values will all be affected, one way or the other, by the outcome of the election: The protection of human life from conception till natural death .
. The protection of the natural family .
. The protection of our right to freely and meaningfully practice our religion both inside and outside our houses of worship, without interference from the state .
. And, the protection of our freedoms - especially, our freedom of speech, our freedom of assembly and licit medical freedom. So, where do the candidates stand on Life, Family, Faith and Freedom? _______________________ ON LIFE President Trump has already proven himself to be pro-life. He reinstated the Mexico City Policy, prohibiting U.S. foreign aid from paying for and, or, promoting abortions. And, he has also pledged to sign a late-term abortion ban and veto any pro-abortion legislation. Former Vice President Biden supports tax-payer funded abortion (i.e., getting rid of the Hyde Amendment), and has been endorsed by Planned Parenthood and NARAL. ON FAMILY President Trump’s tax cuts have helped 82% of middle-class American families, which saved an average of $1,260 on their taxes according to Breitbart News. On the contrary, if former Vice President Joe Biden implements the "Green New Deal," thousands of energy sector jobs will be eliminated. What’s more, Biden plans on raising taxes by more than three trillion dollars – a move which could severely hurt the average American family. Additionally, President Trump backs school choice for all American families, which will allow parents to choose the school that best meets the needs of their children. However, former Vice President Biden supports policies that are not in favor school choice. His policies would hurt families by keeping parents from choosing a school that would help their children and provide them with the best opportunities. Finally, President Trump's administration has co-sponsored the Geneva Consensus Declaration, which reaffirms that “the family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State", and which seeks to achieve the "strengthening of family as the foundational unit of society." While, earlier this year, former Vice President Biden revealed his “LGBTQ+ and equality” plan, which he will use to “protect,” “enforce,” and “advance” the homosexual agenda and homosexual “rights." ON FAITH President Trump’s second-term agenda includes the promise to "defend the freedoms of religious believers and organizations." Former Vice President Biden stands against conscience rights - vowing to sue the Little Sisters of the Poor to force them to pay for abortion and contraceptives. And, Biden also stands against religious freedom, as he and the Democrats support mandating that pro-life Christian business-owners, like cake bakers, violate their religious beliefs. ON FREEDOM If re-elected, President Trump has promised to minimize lockdowns and mask mandates. If elected, former Vice President Biden has promised to enact a nationwide mask mandate, and allow more lockdowns. ________________________ Now that you know where the candidates stand, please consider voting to preserve Life, the Family, our Faith, and our Freedoms!
