Voting Shenanigans in Michigan
American Thinker ^ | 11 May, 2024 | Eric Dawe

Michigan’s Governor Whitmer and the Democrat-controlled Legislature passed a slew of bills that make it easier to commit voter fraud and harder to uncover it.

In the 2022 mid-term elections in Michigan, voters handed control of the Michigan Legislature to the Democrats, giving them a majority in both the Michigan House of Representatives and the Michigan Senate -- something that hasn’t happened for forty years. Since then, they’ve been working hand in glove with our notorious Democrat governor, Gretchen Whitmer

SNIP

In November of 2022, Michigan voters also passed Proposal 2, a proposal to amend the voting procedures previously authorized in the State of Michigan’s Constitution. While the proposal passed with (ostensibly) 60% of the vote, the recent batch of bills purportedly written to implement the changes of Proposal 2 goes significantly beyond what was authorized by the voters.

The new legislation hands over verification of absentee ballots from an elected bipartisan board of inspectors to city or township clerks. They also significantly expand the powers of election clerks and the Secretary of State. For example, the Secretary of State can now dictate election procedures without going through the formal rule-making process. This greatly increases the potential for fraud and significantly reduces the safeguards against it.

SNIP

According to Representative Ruth Johnson (R) Holly, MI, these bills remove every instance of the word ‘fraud’ in the previous law and replace them with the word, ‘error.’ Criminality of intent is thus effectively insulated from prosecution and the ability to address election fraud is stripped away. In fact, under Senate Bills 603 and 604, alleged fraud can no longer be used to request a recount.

They’re putting it all right out there for everyone to see - and counting on the fact that the overwhelming percentage of the populace is too lazy to connect the dots.

Say what you will, democrats understand power and how to use it. No republican legislature and executive branch ever put out that type of concerted effort to get something done that is good for them. They want to be seen as bipartisan. Democrats want to be seen as winner who use the power to get what they want.

Give the republicans an overwhelming majority and they piss it away by reaching across the aisle. Give the democrats a one vote majority and they will steam roll their agenda through, crushing any republican opposition along the way. Hell, we’re having trouble maintaining control in the House. We won, elected a speaker, and threw him out. Elected another speaker and now he’s serving at the whim of the democrat minority whose ass he’s had to kiss to stay in power.

massive mail-in ballots and dropboxes..

They are everywhere in California, my neighbor got three ballots in 2020 - after Newsom sent a ballot to everyone and his dog in California, legal and illegal (motor-voter allows illegals to get ballots, illegal aliens can get licenses in California).

This, along with vote harvesting, which is legal in California

We now have a blue super majority that is tearing apart and destroying the state, I think California was the blueprint for Democrat vote fraud.

Who counts the votes?

Government employees.

Who owns the government employees?

Democrats.

That math ain’t hard to do.

The first thing we have to do is stop calling treasonous, criminal behavior "shenanigans." Then maybe we can start taking it seriously.

“ They’re putting it all right out there for everyone to see”

Because it doesn’t matter if everyone everywhere knows and sees. Getting the knowledge out is worse than useless…it’s irrelevant.

The only thing that would matter is if people en masse would get up off their asses and violently do something about it. And that will never happen in America.

Run up the score with fraud in some states and impact the popular vote total.

Just do it in LA, Chicago and NYC and you're done.

By hook or by crook.

I will state today that despite Biden’s miserable poll numbers, President Trump’s enthusiastic strength across most demographics I expect Biden to “win” by narrow margins in November.

Once they finish counting all the “votes” of course.

Trump is not killing our republic - the Dems have. Sigh.

And just by the way anyone that thinks Biden is running anything is clueless. IMHO.
