“Michigan lawmakers issued subpoena to election officials during Saturday hearing”
The Michigan state legislature in a Saturday hearing of the House and Senate Oversight committees issued a subpoena to elections officials, seeking documents pertaining to the state’s election process.
The subpoena came as GOP legislators launched an investigation into what they claim to be potential election irregularities, according to the Detroit Free Press.
The outlet reported that House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. Matt Hall, a Republican, described the investigation as necessary “to provide needed clarity to concerned residents,” and said the subpoena “demonstrates a commitment to getting our election procedures right in the future.”
Democratic state Rep. Christine Greig, the House Minority Leader, characterized the hearing as a “partisan spectacle,” and “a desperate attempt by Republican legislators to cast a shadow of doubt over the legitimacy of our election,” according to the outlet. Greig also described it as a “political stunt designed to undermine confidence in our electoral process and disenfranchise voters who legally cast their ballots in record numbers,” the Detroit Free Press reported.
I’m on Parler. It is a pain in the butt.
CISA (what Wictor talked about) discussion on post election rumors. Seems to me they’re saying election official will follow procedures to prevent fraud. Typical government agency.
PROTECT2020 RUMOR VS. REALITY
Reality: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) do not design or audit ballots, which are processes managed by state and local election officials.
Rumor: DHS or CISA printed paper ballots with security measures and is auditing results as a countermeasure against ballot counterfeiting.
Get the Facts: While DHS and CISA assist states and localities with securing election infrastructure, DHS and CISA do not design, print, or audit ballots. State and local election officials manage ballot design and printing, as well as the auditing of results.
Local election offices have security and detection measures in place that make it highly difficult to commit fraud through counterfeit ballots. While the specific measures vary, in accordance with state and local election laws and practices, ballot security measures can include signature matching, information checks, barcodes, watermarks, and precise paper weights.
DHS and CISA operate in support of state and local election officials, and do not administer elections or handle ballots. CISA’s role in election security includes sharing information, such as cyber threat indicators, with state and local election officials, as well as providing technical cybersecurity services (e.g. vulnerability scanning) upon the request of those officials.
Rumor: A bad actor could change election results without detection.
Get the Facts: The systems and processes used by election officials to tabulate votes and certify official results are protected by various safeguards that help ensure the accuracy of election results. These safeguards include measures that help ensure tabulation systems function as intended, protect against malicious software, and enable the identification and correction of any irregularities.
Every state has voting system safeguards to ensure each ballot cast in the election can be correctly counted. State procedures often include testing and certification of voting systems, required auditable logs, and software checks, such as logic and accuracy tests, to ensure that ballots are properly counted before election results are made official. With these security measures, election officials can check to determine that devices are running the certified software and functioning properly.
Every state also has laws and processes to verify vote tallies before results are officially certified. State processes include robust chain-of-custody procedures, auditable logs, and canvass processes. The vast majority of votes cast in this election will be cast on paper ballots or using machines that produce a paper audit trail, which allow for tabulation audits to be conducted from the paper record in the event any issues emerge with the voting system software, audit logs, or tabulation. These canvass and certification procedures are also generally conducted in the public eye, as political party representatives and other observers are typically allowed to be present, to add an additional layer of verification.

This is the Anarchy flag
I signed up yesterday; they’ve had a huge flood of sign-ups and they weren’t prepared (over 2 million yesterday).
That being said, once one and you’re following people, you do get notified. I was never on Twitter so I can’t compare the two.
NEW: @JudicialWatch analysis shows Clark County, NV has a 102.7% voter registration rate – more voters registered there than eligible to vote! About 154,000 inactive names on the rolls before the election.... https://t.co/BxZjNVTCEZ— Tom Fitton (@TomFitton) November 9, 2020
I don’t think a revote is contemplated in our founding or Constitution. Hence my reply...
The fraud needs to be proven incontrovertibly!!!
Every critical state has thrown in with the communist takeover. States are what is bringing us down.

Back in late May 2017, Trump tweeted “COVFEFE”.
Exactly 1111 days later just happened to be Trump’s birthday on 6/14/20. Odds?
I believe it stood for...

Enjoy the show.
Clever.
Levin is on!
i am. I don’t go there much. sign on was fine...
Thanks for the reminder, just tuned in.
Isn’t there a count total of how many have voted that could be compared with the votes to Trump and Biden?
Not that they can recover the votes but it would be proof of fraud if the numbers don’t match up.
