Back in 2016, during all the political excitement, many #celebrities rallied behind Hillary Clinton, including #singer #KatyPerry. #TMENews covered several events for #HillaryClinton in #LasVegas during that time. There was an overwhelming sense of joy and anticipation, as people believed they were on the verge of witnessing a historic moment. As I reflect on the current atmosphere, I can’t help but feel a sense of déjà vu. We all know the outcome of 2016, and hopefully, lessons from the past have been learned so that we can move forward.Throughout the #2016election, I attended political events at least twice a month. I even had the opportunity to cover #DonaldTrump’s campaign. Interestingly enough, despite everything, his campaign was very friendly and welcoming. You might be surprised by who I had the worst encounter with, but I’ll save that story for another time.

#BREAKING: #Voters in Tarrant County, Texas are reporting issues with voting machines allegedly flipping their votes from #DonaldTrump to #KamalaHarris.Voters are urging everyone to carefully review their printed ballots before submission.“People who selected Trump on the screen were seeing Harris on the printed ballot,” said Tarrant #GOP Chair @Bo_French_TX.This situation is alarming. Why does Tarrant County continue using such a vulnerable system? It’s clear that not just Dominion machines, but all voting machines can be compromised. We need to return to in-person voting on Election Day with hand-counted #ballots. Similar reports have come in from #Tennessee, #Georgia, and now #Texas.This incident highlights the need for public transparency of all voting machine data and software. It’s fortunate we’re catching this before the #election rather than after.

You can even register at your polling location. Senator Rosen also participated, showing her support for Harris and standing alongside Jimmy Kimmel. With the election just weeks away, it’s crucial to get out and vote. As a swing state, #Nevada plays a pivotal role in determining the outcome, making every #vote count in this #battlegroundelection.
