Without evidence, state Legislature votes to subpoena elections bureau (MI)
The State News ^ | 7 Nov 2020 | Evan Jones

Just as former Vice President Joe Biden secured the 270 electoral votes to become the 46th president of the United States, in Michigan, a joint state Senate and House oversight committee voted along party lines to subpoena documents relating to the 2020 election, investigating irregularities without evidence.

Chair of the committee, Sen. Ed McBroom (R-Vulcan) acknowledged that reports of irregularities were anecdotal, but insisted that a subpoena for documents would provide clarity because the public is at a "fever pitch" of interest.

“The premise of these hearings is not to overturn the will of the people of this state, not to overturn right and fair and honest elections,” he said.

Sen. Jeff Irwin (D-Ann Arbor) said the hearing was extraordinary.

“We had a safe, free and fair election here in Michigan and that the margin was significant enough that even having this process leads to a concern from many of us that there is an effort to simply overturn the clear will of the voters," Irwin said. "If that is what’s happening here, then we’re going to have a real serious problem in this nation."

Even if the intent of the hearing was to overturn the will of Michigan voters, the state Legislature has no ability nor legal authority to do so.

U.S. law requires state governors to prepare Certificates of Ascertainment of the vote after the bipartisan State Board of Canvassers certifies the official results. This process includes recording the names of electors that meet at the state house and their electoral college votes.

Rep. Cynthia Johnson (D-Detroit) was more direct.

"It’s a done deal," Johnson said. "This is political theatre. ... We can stop this right now."

Indeed, the issuance of subpoenas is unique for the state Legislature.

The illegal unsolicited ballots have zero controls to block fraud.

It is not up to President Trump campaign to prove fraud.
The poll watchers were denied their right to watch the vote counting.

Big chunks of counting occurred without poll watchers, necessary to validate the count

It’s up to the dim’s to prove fraud did not occur in the vote count.

Well, I am in mexico.
I did not “see” any vote fraud, in mexico.

Therefore, there is no vote fraud, anywhere.

It’s common core logic!

that is just the buzz word/phrase Soros told his shock troops to use. IMO, there’s no evidence that the Democrats didn’t cheat

3) Republicans were not allowed in to observe the vote!
4) Black sharpies used on ballots
5) A witness saw a van, Chystler and a Ferrari delivering ballots at 4:30 in the morning.

We can save money on rope by doubling up.

I'm sure the "jernalist" Evan Jones and Cynthia here would get over having to "share" after a few minutes...

No bias in this claim. No proven, certified votes to make this false conclusion.

Keep emailing and calling with messages to Republican State Legislators in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Az.
Ask for hearings into the voting machines, lack of R oversight, dead people voting etc.
Contact them even if you don’t live in their state.
They MUST feel pressure!

No, Article II Section 1 takes precedence, “Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.”

In their ‘pseudoverse’, there is no probable cause for making such allegations. In the real world, there is an abundance of it, and together with additional actionable intelligence, I don’t see how we don’t have a case. Initiate, strike and follow through. Wash, rinse and repeat. Drain the swamp and the pseudoverse implodes at a safe distance. Proceed with caution and keep the faith.
