Is This Simple SCOTUS Ruling the Gateway to Election Integrity?
Published on January 17, 2026
About This Episode
This week we talk with Dr. Jerome Corsi, a noted expert on election integrity, to take a deeper look at largely unnoticed Supreme Court ruling that may just have started a giant snowball rolling to restore election integrity. On the surface, the case sounded entirely procedural— whether a candidate had standing or not to bring a lawsuit challenging the endless counting of ballots after Election Day. Find out why this ruling sends the message that SCOTUS wants people to be able to trust our elections again.
Show Notes
00:00 – Overview of SCOTUS ruling in Bost v. Illinois State Board of Elections overview and why it’s clearly not “just” standing
08:50 – The game-changing aspects of this SCOTUS ruling to restore confidence in our elections. Does Chief Justice Roberts know 2020 elections were stolen? Warning shot how SOCTUS likely to rule on the never-ending counting of ballots after election day?
17:13 – Ongoing implications of this ruling — just at a time when Trump’s DOJ suing states over voter rolls and other election integrity issues. How the roll out exposing Minnesota fraud is being mirrored to expose election fraud.
25:26 – Venezuela’s Maduro and what he knows about election fraud here. Minnesota fraud. Why Democrats wanted illegals flooding our border. (It wasn’t just to get votes.)
34:21 – Tina Peter tried to expose election fraud. She was jailed. A three-judge panel just roasted the prosecutors in that case along with the original judge and his sentencing. Corsi is good friends with one of her attorneys, Peter Ticktin.
40:04 – Opening the floodgates of more election clerks coming forward with what they know? Democrats and their fraud-industrial complex. Ruling impact on lower courts. How to now challenge elections and restore integrity. What about Trump’s truckloads of evidence of 2020 election fraud?
Transcript
(Opener only) The law can be a weird thing. And one of the weirder things is the issue of standing. Basically, whether you can show the court that you suffered a unique, particular harm.
Now, when it comes to things like election integrity You might think that everyday voters could bring such a lawsuit. Especially when such a lawsuit could restore trust in the election by forcing the state to do things like demand voter ID, or cleaning up voter rolls so people don’t vote illegally.
Sadly, in a nutshell, crooked elections don’t harm people uniquely. They harm all of us. Voters bear the brunt of the outcomes of elections.
If someone is willing to cheat to get elected — they will make bad laws and decisions. They don’t cheat to get elected and then suddenly find morality after they win. No they will create the means and opportunity for things like all of that fraud being uncovered in Minnesota and elsewhere.
This week, in a case that went mostly unnoticed, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that a candidate has standing in an election integrity case.
And while that may not sound like a big deal, what’s fascinating about this case is below the surface — the underlying reasoning and arguments why they have standing, and why you may not realize it but we just took a yuge step forward to restore trust in elections.
I’d like to welcome back Dr. Jerome Corsi, he is the author of about 30 books, six of those ended up on the New York Times best-seller list and two of those hit number one. He is the founder and CEO of Corsi Nation dot com and you should also definitely visit his other site, God’s Five Stones dot com. Doctor Corsi, it’s great to talk to you again…

Show 16-03 Summary: This week we take a deeper look at the Supreme Court ruling that may just have started the snowball rolling to restore election integrity. On the surface the case sounded entirely procedural— whether a candidate had standing to bring a lawsuit to stop endless counting of ballots after Election Day. But what this really did was send the message that we need to be able to trust our elections again. And that means being able to trust the people that get elected and how they got elected.
Air Dates: January 17th & 18th, 2026 | Guest: NY Times #1 best-selling author, Dr. Jerome Corsi
So far, it seems not too many in the “mainstream media” have wanted to report on it. Not in any real depth anyway. And not on the election integrity aspects of the ruling. And definitely no excitement about it. Maybe they hope it all goes away?
One of the more shocking aspects of the ruling is Chief Justice John Roberts authored the majority opinion. What happened for Robertsto see the light? Don’t miss out on Dr. Corsi’s explanation of why. That plus explanations why this ruling specifically targets trust and not just standing, Tina Peters, the Democrats’ fraud-industrial complex, and what Trump will be doing next to expose election fraud. Including and especially the 2020 election.

Show 13-40 Summary: Nothing breaks trust quite like the way government does. It’s one thing when someone close to you lies. It’s quite another when government lies and then sues you if you dare question them. And this after telling you “trust us, there’s nothing to see here.” Really? So why not let people look. Trust in government is at an all-time low. (Perhaps it has something to do with threatening and jailing people who dare question them.) But elections absolutely should be something we can all trust. Including, and especially, the losing side. So why is government trying so hard to not build trust? But there are election solutions to rebuild trust. Listen to find out why a return to hand counting can rebuild trust in our elections. And help restore (a little) trust in government.

This Week – Election Solutions
Trust in government is at an all time low. Perhaps because it is now suing, fining, and/or arresting their political opponents. And threatening people who dare question them. But elections absolutely should be something we can all trust. Even the losing side. Especially the losing side. Shouldn’t they have faith that they may have lost but it was fair, open, and trustworthy?
So why is government trying so hard not to build trust? Especially trust in our elections.
But there are election solutions. And one of the biggest is also a simple one: return to hand counting.
Election Solutions that Would Restore Trust
We welcome back Marc Thielman, a former Republican candidate for Oregon’s governor, and current political activist. Marc was also the superintendent for the Alsea School District during Covid, which the State of Oregon tried desperately to close down but Marc stood firm against their mandates. During that time, Alsea saw their enrollment swell by 500%. And they also never had a case of covid be traced back to their school. Funny that.
As a political activists, Marc is currently involved with getting real school choice on the 2024 ballot and is one of the lead plaintiffs in an election integrity case against Oregon and which is currently in front of the 9th Circuit.
But this week, we’re talking about trust and election solutions. And how those two intermingle.
Return to Hand Counting Ballots
On Sunday, October 1st, I Spy Radio host, Mark Anderson, attended a hand count training with Linda Rantz, who spearheaded a real hand count in Osage County, Missouri. He was able to see first hand how hand counting not only can be done but should be done. On this week’s show, Mark walks people through the process, how efficient it is, and how this election solution has trust designed right into it. Yes, there are potentials for human error. Just like there are potentials for human-caused errors in machine counts. But this hand-counting system is designed for transparency and trust. Because it recognizes the potential problems and makes it easier for many eyes on them to prevent them.
Which is entirely different than what blue states do. Hide the errors and attack people who dare question them. States like Oregon and California. The latter of which just passed a law to block hand counting. Now, why would you do that unless you want to make it easier for the state to cheat and keep things hidden?

If you’d like to see how hand counting ballots would work and could restore trust in the elections, Marc Thielman will be co-hosting an event in Salem on Saturday, Oct 14th, from 10am to 2 pm. The cost is $13 for the spaghetti luncheon. See flyer at right for more information.
Marc will be joined by election integrity expert, Joe Oltmann, from Colorado.

Show Summary: The government has gone from a cottage industry of lies to a full-blown industrial-scale lie and disinformation mega-corporation. Now, they even have a Ministry of Truth to punish dissenters (realists) and promote their, and only their, version of “truth.” Orwell couldn’t be more proud. Funny though. It’s amazing how many times when the government lies, it’s because what its doing is unconstitutional. We talk with Jonathan Emord, one of America’s top constitutional attorneys, about the abortion ruling, the lies of covid, the politicization of science, and that Ministry of Truth.

This Week – Unconstitutional usually = Lies
It’s amazing how many times when the government lies, it’s because what its doing is unconstitutional. It lied about the “constitutionality” of Roe v Wade, leading to a generation of ill-informed Leftists believing it was constitutional. Which, because of that lie, lead to others. The lie that it was just a “clump of cells.” The lie that a unborn baby didn’t feel pain. It wasn’t human.
Amazing how many lies were spun to keep the big lie going. And that’s just one example. But did you ever notice that when the government is acting unconstitutional, it involves lies?
Jonathan Emord on Abortion Ruling and More
Get the book! We can’t recommend this highly enough!
This week, we welcome back Jonathan Emord, one of America’s top constitutional attorneys, to talk about the abortion ruling (the lies that made it and the lies that kept it going), the lies of covid, the lies about the vaccines, the politicization of science, and that new Ministry of Truth hatched by the Biden administration.
But, really, it comes down to trust. Trust in our institutions and the people at them. And that’s hard to come by when they go out of their way to break trust. And then hide what they did.
Buckle up.

Show Summary: In a followup from last week’s show, we talk with Portland Radio Superstar, Jayne Carroll, about the difficulty facing Oregon Republicans this year. Can Republicans trust Knute Buehler? Should they? Should they vote for him? Plus, more on government corruption and leftist billionaires and their secret operatives implanted in Oregon’s Attorney General office. The Kavanaugh hearings. And O’Keefe’s latest uncovering the Deep State’s sabotage of the Trump administration.
Original Air Dates: September 22 & 23, 2018 | Guest: Jayne Carroll
Last week, we asked whether Oregon Republicans can trust their own candidate, Knute Buehler. Why? Because during the primary, while running against two conservatives, Knute said he opposed a carbon tax. He even called such a scheme Kate Brown’s “honey pot.”
Can Oregon Republicans trust Knute Buehler? Should they?
And then, within weeks of winning the Republican primary, Knute flipped. And now he says he wants a carbon tax.
So which version of Knute do you trust? Primary Knute? Or general election Knute? (Funny how he hasn’t changed his stance on abortion though.)
Our guest last week, Chuck Wiese, a meteorologist and fierce global warming debunker, knows that global warming—now “climate change” (because people are stupid, apparently)— is a scam. Chuck looks at the devastation a carbon tax did to both California and its once proud Republican Party. California’s carbon tax, passed by Arnold Schwarzenegger, a “republican” governor, with the aid of California Republicans, destroyed both the state and the Republicans. As a result, some 10,000 businesses have been forced out of California by the carbon tax.
And now Knute Buehler says he wants a carbon tax. Is Knute trying to destroy Oregon? Or the Oregon Republican Party? Or both?
The Don’t Vote Knute Buehler Strategy
Chuck believes that if Kate Brown gets elected, she won’t be able to pass a carbon tax. Why? Because Republicans in the house and senate will oppose her simply because she’s a Democrat trying to pass (in Knute’s words) a honey pot for Democrats and their Democrat allies.
But if “republican” Knute Buehler gets elected, it’s a different story. Knute will get a carbon tax passed, where Kate Brown will fail if she gets elected. Why? Because in the Knute scenario, Republicans will actually want (or feel obligated to) to support their newly elected “republican” governor.
Imagine that. Republicans passing an anti-business carbon tax. A tax that could punish businesses to the tune of some $17 billion. A tax that will raise prices on every thing. And worse, a tax that will send tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars to… wait for it…Democrats.
If Oregon Republicans pass a carbon tax, it will be like writing checks to the political opponents.
Perhaps this kindergarten-level of “strategic thinking” is why the Oregon Republican Party are in the hole to the tune of –$13,000. Meanwhile, the Oregon Democrat Party is sitting on a cool half-million in cash in the bank.
So you can see why Chuck Wiese believes it would be better for Oregon Republicans not to elect their own candidate. And it does make a lot of sense—as horrible as it sounds. Sometimes, strategy is very messy. So what are Republicans to do?
That’s why we call in talk show host and long-time political strategist, Jayne Carroll.
This Week’s Show: Jayne Carroll
In the Portland area, Jayne Carroll is a radio superstar. The First Lady of Radio. Last week’s show (The Impossible Choice Facing Oregon Republican Voters This Year) featured Chris Horner, who revealed that Leftist billionaires are secretly embedding global-warming operatives right into states’ attorney general offices. We also talked with Chuck Wiese about his strategy and reasons not to vote for Knute Buehler. Knever Knute. Because Jayne has over 30 years experience in Oregon politics, we want to get her take on things.
While you’ll have to listen, here’s a hint. She’s not thrilled with Knute Buehler. But should Republicans sit this one out? What about the other issues? Will Knute do to the Oregon Republican Party what Schwarzenegger did to California Republicans?
Or what about this: is Knute a Deep State or at least a Democrat plant?
You’ll have to tune in to find out.
We also get her take on the Kavanaugh hearings, the accusations of Christine Ford and the games Democrats play. the latest from Project Veritas exposing the Deep State, and lots more.
Don’t miss this terrific show with one of the best talk show hosts in Portland.

Show Summary: Most Republicans believe voting for any Republican is better than any Democrat. Find out why Knute Buehler, running for Oregon’s governor, could be the exception to the rule. Plus: Leftist billionaire’s secret, off-book army in states attorneys general offices. Including right here in Oregon.
Original Air Dates: September 15 & 16, 2018 | Guests: Chris Horner & Chuck Wiese
The One Exception to “Always Vote Republican”…?
Like most conservative Republicans, we have always believed you’ll get more of what you want by voting for any Republican iver any Democrat. But on this week’s show, tune in to hear why voting for Knute Buehler, running for Oregon’s governor, could be the exception to the rule.
I Spy Radio Show broadcast areas, as of July 2018. Click for full-size map.
This will be a challenging show for listeners because conservative Republicans face an impossible question this election. Is it still better to vote for a Republican candidate if that candidate could do real long-term damage to the Republican party and to Oregon?
In other words, does the maxim, “Always vote for the Republican” still hold if the Republican candidate is actually worse than the Democrat?
Exposed: Billionaires’ Secret Operatives in States AG Offices
As if an potentially untrustworthy Republican candidate for Oregon governor wasn’t bad enough… Add to that worry, the startling revelation that Leftist billionaires are secretly placing operatives in attorneys general offices all across America. Including right here in Oregon.
It’s one bad choice on top of another.
Knute Buehler – Never Knute?
We’re sure the “Never Trumpers” will try to claim this is exactly the same situation they were in a few years back. (Knever Knute?) But it’s not, of course.
The “Never Trump” movement (which Knute was a proud member of, we might add) was a case of so-called “conservatives” opposing Trump for irrational reasons. The Never Trumpers opposed Trump despite Trump running on Conservative values. And conservative tax policies. And a strong Second Amendment defense. Oh, and pro life. Not to mention he opposed global warming. Was for border control and legal immigration. Plus, he pushed for conservative judges. He was — or should have been—a conservatives dream.
But they just opposed him because he was Trump.
The election in Oregon, however, is a case of a “Republican” candidate pushing Democrat ideals: a carbon tax. (Not to mention being very pro-abortion. And a host of other progressive social issues.) Trump never pushed Democrat policies. That’s why this is different.
The Problem: Knute Buehler’s Carbon Tax
A carbon tax opens the door in Oregon to a potential tax to raise up to $17 billion dollars. Knute has said he’s for a carbon tax. After claiming (conveniently) during the primary that he was against it. (See Knute Buehler’s op-ed in The Oregonian, Oct. 22, 2017.)
The Danger: Knute Buehler’s Convenient Flip on a Carbon Tax
Just weeks after he won the Republican primary for Oregon’s governor, Knute Buehler suddenly announced that he thinks a carbon tax would be a good idea. What?
A carbon tax will be a killer to businesses, do nothing to affect “climate change,” and spend billions of dollars that will end up in the hands of the Democrats. How does any “Republican” not know this?
To see what will happen to the state and to the Republican party, look no further than what happened in California after “Republican” Governor Schwarzenegger passed their carbon tax. Tens of thousands of businesses left the state. California is now nearly $100 billion in debt. And the once proud Californian Republican party is in shambles and can’t stop anything the Democrats.
Our first guest is Chuck Wiese, a meteorologist and global warming debunker. Chuck discusses why, despite being a life-long Republican, he is considering actively opposing Knute.
But there’s a real strategy at play here that will challenge your thinking.
Chuck exposes that, when you really start pushing “scientists” who claim to believe in global warming and challenge their facts, they have to admit that even if we do everything they say we have to do, it won’t really affect anything.
So why is Knute supporting a carbon tax? Why has he flipped on this? Is it just a ploy? But if so, how do you know which Knute to believe? Do you take a risk and hope for the best?
Tune in to hear the reasons why not voting Republican may actually be the better long-term choice—if Knute can’t be forced to come around.
Leftist Billionaires Secretly Placing Staff in State AG Offices
To start our conversation, we welcome first time guest, Chris Horner, a Senior Fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) that was sued by a State’s Attorney General a few years ago simply because CEI didn’t support the idea of global warming.
Since then, Chris has completed two extensive research reports that has uncovered “special assistant attorneys” being secretly placed in states’ Attorneys General and Governor’s offices without any oversight from legislators or voters. All of this “off book” and hidden from the public and designed to enforce the will of Leftist billionaires.
Like Michael Bloomberg. Who is pushing global warming by creating this shadow government in states across the nation — and it’s happening right here in Oregon.
CEI’s Chris Horner Exposes Billionaires Operatives in States’ AGs
Listen to our guest Chris Horner and the evidence they have gathered through court filings and discovery, including e-mails that reveal how these billionaires are actively trying to undermine the voters and how the AGs are trying to hide all of this from the public.

During the Republican primary, Knute said he was against the carbon tax. (Knute’s op-ed inThe Oregonian, Oct, 22, 2017)
Note: Knute’s campaign staff is now trying to claim he didn’t mean he was against a carbon tax, he was just against Kate Brown being the one to do it
The flip: after he won the primary, Knute suddenly reversed his stance on a carbon tax: ““While skeptical of major new spending, Buehler says he is open to increased taxes on electronic and regular cigarettes to pay for budget items like health care, and also to a carbon tax, although not to the Democrats’ cap and trade proposal.” What? Why didn’t he mention he wanted a carbon tax during the primary? (“State Rep. Knute Buehler to challenge Gov. Kate Brown,” Register-Guard, May 16th, 2018)
Knute thinks parties need more control over who can run on their ticket. (Except Knute was lamenting the inability of the Independent Party of Oregon to let him on their ticket, not anything to do with Republicans having more control.) But we agree! Republicans definitely need to have more control over who can and can’t wear the Republican label
“Buehler, whom Robbins called “a thoughtful, bipartisan pragmatist,” would also support a revenue-neutral carbon tax to stimulate demand for green energy but not a cap-and-invest bill that reeks of “crony capitalism.” He wants to see the LNG natural-gas export terminal come online in Coos Bay and to help rural communities create value-added timber products. For him, the biggest problem in Oregon government is the inefficient muck created by one party in power for so long.”
NOTE: “Revenue neutral” means merely shifting who’s paying it (lower taxes on one person while raising taxes on another)
