CHRISSY CLARK: NY voter registration group led by convicted voter fraudster gives away Taylor Swift concert tickets to get young people to polls


A New York voter registration group is offering a creative incentive to get young people to the polls—Taylor Swift concert tickets. But the man behind the organization, Civic Innovation Works, has a controversial past with voter fraud.

Civic Innovation Works’ leader Tate Hausman is a political operative with ties to New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Hausman was notably convicted of voter fraud in 2009 for falsifying absentee ballots, according to a report from the Washington Free Beacon.

Despite these charges, Civic Innovation Works and Hausman have partnered with prominent left-leaning groups like Vote.org and TargetSmart in voter registration efforts.

Hausman, a New York native, pleaded guilty to voter fraud in 2009 after he illegally claimed residency in Ohio to vote. Hausman, who was part of a separate voter registration group at the time, said he believed he was allowed to vote legally in Ohio.

The judge in his case said he was “skeptical” that Hausman was ignorant of the law. Hausman was fined $1,000 and sentenced to one year of probation, according to reports.

The organization’s latest effort is a contest offering two tickets to Taylor Swift’s November concert in Indianapolis. Entrants are required to enter their personal information — name, address, email address, phone number, and date of birth — to check whether they are registered to vote.

“Taylor’s got a message: Register to vote,” the ad reads, “Check your registration status, and you could win 2 tickets to her Nov 3rd show in Indianapolis. Are you in?”

Civic Innovation does not publicly declare a party affiliation, but the Swift-themed contest appears aimed at getting liberal voters to the polls, leaning into the pop superstar’s recent political endorsement.

This has become an increasingly popular tactic on the left. The Voter Participation Center, a self-described “nonpartisan” voter group, intentionally blocked Facebook ads to register new voters from reaching users who have interests traditionally associated with conservative men.

What Ceasefire? ‘Heavy Clashes’ In South Lebanon As Beirut Buildings Leveled

Despite all the recent talk of a potential ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel in the works, regional reports say that some of the fiercest ground fighting is currently taking place in southern Lebanon on Friday.

Heavy Israeli aerial bombardments of the southern suburbs of Beirut have also continued with intensity. On Friday an Israeli missile completely leveled a residential multi-story in the neighborhood of Chiyah. Israel’s military reportedly issued a civilian evacuation alert shortly before, and terrifying video from the scene suggests locals knew it was about to be struck.

In the south of Lebanon, near the border, UN peacekeeping forces say they are monitoring “heavy clashes” on Friday, saying most of the fighting is centered in the coastal town of Naqoura as well as the village of Chamaa.

There are also emerging reports which say four Italian soldiers were injured after two rockets hit a UNIFIL base in Chamaa. Italy’s deputy prime minister has said Hezbollah was likely behind the rocket firing: “There were believed to be two missiles, from what it appears, they are believed to have been launched by Hezbollah.”

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni issued a statement of “deep indignation and concern” over “new attacks suffered by the Italian headquarters of UNIFIL in southern Lebanon.”

“These attacks are unacceptable,” she stated, adding that “the parties on the ground to guarantee, at all times, the safety of UNIFIL soldiers and to collaborate to quickly identify those responsible.”

“We are aware of heavy shelling in the vicinity of our bases,” UNIFIL spokesman Andrea Tenenti has said, saying that since the incident all UN troops appear to be safe “for the moment”.

Up until now, the UNIFIL has claimed its command posts came under attack by Israeli forces, including IDF tanks, several times. This appears to be the first time that Hezbollah fired on UN locations.

IDF forces earlier this week reached their deepest point into Lebanon since the ground invasion began, in the countryside vicinity of the port city of Tyre, which has been pummeled by airstrikes.

Israel has repeatedly demanded that the UNIFIL troops withdraw – requests which have been refused. This puts the UNIFIL outposts in the direct line of fire as the war encircles their positions.

“UNIFIL strongly urges combating parties to avoid fighting next to its positions. Inviolability of UN premises and personnel must be respected at all times,” a Friday statement said.
