Joe Biden won, Michigan elector coup ‘not going to happen,’ GOP
Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey says Democrat Joe Biden is the president-elect and the Legislature’s investigation of the election won’t change the results in Michigan. bridgemi.com 4:19 PM · Nov 17, 2020
When all is said and done, Trump needs to rename the party, and invite the faithful to join in.
I cant wait
Bump
Nobody can be President-Elect until the electors vote mid-December OR if one concedes. Dershowitz made a clear statement about that referencing the Constitution.
It’s not even early December.
Trump did not concede.
This guy Mike can ESAD.
I just still don’t get it...popular vote does not elect. The Electoral College process still has to take place.
“see if they recently got a check from George Soros.”
Or Dominion.

Remember the names of these scumbags if any freepers live in their districts next time they ask for your vote.
- Rusty Bowers-AZ House Leader
- Robin Vos-WI Assembly Leader
- Mike Shirkey-MI State Senate Leader
- Jake Corman-PA Senate Leader
- Kerry Benninghoff-PA House Leader
Told you this guy was a scumbag.
Fraud
“We must put them down “
Yes.
Seems like the quote was from Saturday, not tonight, and is from a lesser know publication.
Is Michigan one of those states that voted awhile back to allow their Electors to go ahead and vote who got the popular vote?
Ahead of Michigan primary, Sen. Mike Shirkey shoots down bills to speed up absentee ballots (02/21/2020)
As absentee ballot requests in Michigan rise exponentially, many local clerks are concerned tallying them all on Election Day will strain their resources and delay results - but the Michigan Senate Majority Leader said Thursday he isn’t interested in addressing the situation legislatively.
Following the passage of Proposal 3 in 2018, absentee ballot requests are up more than 60 percent in Michigan this year, according to Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson. Absentee ballots need to be opened up and verified - meaning it typically takes longer to count them than in-person votes - and they currently can’t be opened before 7 a.m. on Election Day.
Senate legislation backed by former Secretary of State Ruth Johnson, R-Holly, would let workers at absentee counting boards work in shifts and would allow some early processing of absentee ballots ahead of Election Day. The effort earned support at the committee level from many elections officials, and it’s now before the full Senate.
Asked about whether he supported the efforts, Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, R-Clark Lake, said he’s worried the move would be a step towards early counting of ballots, calling it a “dangerous precedent.”
“I don’t necessarily think we should be trying to solve a problem before it actually occurs,” he said. “If I had to choose between early voting, early counting, versus late reporting, I’ll take late reporting all day long.”
The comments are a blow to Johnson’s legislative efforts, which would allow municipalities with 10,000 or more registered voters to begin pre-processing absentee ballots the day before Election Day if they give notice to the Secretary of State.
Her bills were supported by many elections officials around the state, although some support going further and letting clerks fully prepare the ballots or counting them ahead of Election Day. Benson has previously called for early counting of absentee ballots.
Benson spokesperson Jake Rollow said in a statement Shirkey “is ignoring simple math, facts, and the expertise of the clerks who administer our elections.”
Well I’ll be damned.
The GOP voters may have other thoughts on that!
The "not going to happen" seems to be an incomplete quote.
