Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, who said that questioning the election results is “attacking our Democracy“, is being sued by a group of Michigan voters alleging Benson allowed “partisan operatives” to pour millions of dollars in private money to select Democrat cities and counties for get-out-the-vote initiatives.
The Chicago-based Center for Tech and Civic Life gave money to county and local clerks in the battleground state to print and distribute absentee ballots and mail-in ballots and add drop boxes. The goal was to increase ballots cast ‘in only certain urban and predominantly Democratic precincts” and “selectively influence the outcome of the 2020 general election,’
In September, Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan seeded CTCL with a $250 million grant.
Thor Hearne, an attorney with True North Law in St. Louis is representing the plaintiffs. The filing alleges that starting in July, the center has paid at least $3.5 million to Wayne County and Detroit; $467,625 to Flint; $417,000 to Ann Arbor; $443,000 to Lansing and $8,500 to East Lansing; $433,580 to Muskegon; $402,878 to Saginaw; and $218,869 to Kalamazoo.
In total, $5.9 million was paid to urban, predominantly Democrat district election officials.

RICO would take all that money and give them 20 years to think about it.
“Our” democracy? It’s the personal property of her and her cabal of cronies?
Good. Benson is a Soros gal who needs to be exposed.
The husbands of those women should be drawn and quartered for letting them get so out of control in pubic.
This does nothing. Bring suit against the damn rat ballot software.
Interested in what happened to the software “glitch” in the Michigan county that supposedly put 6000 Trump votes in the Biden column - an actual change in the count by 12000 votes - same software was apparently used in 40 other counties in the state - potentially could reverse the outcome if validated - must be too good to be true......
Bush versus Gore in 2000: The five weeks of high drama that give President Trump precedent
PARIS: Donald Trump said Wednesday he will go to the Supreme Court to dispute the US election count.
If he does, it could turn out to be only the second time in history that the court has decided the winner. In 2000, George W. Bush only beat Democrat Al Gore after five weeks of legal battles over recounts and “hanging chad” votes.
All eyes on Florida
On election day, Nov 7, 2000, polls have Republican candidate Bush, governor of Texas, leading Democratic vice president Gore by a whisker.
As the night develops, tensions rise as several states report very tight results.
Television networks declare Gore the winner in Florida only to backtrack soon after, judging it too close to call.
A few hours later they call Florida again, giving the victory to Bush, which means he wins the presidency.
Gore calls Bush to concede.
But then the networks backtrack a second time, and Gore calls Bush again to withdraw his concession.
The Florida results are in limbo. The two candidates are separated by less than 0.5 percent of votes, forcing a machine recount of all the punch-card ballots.
Several irregularities are exposed in the state, which is governed by Bush’s brother Jeb.
Hanging chads
On Nov 9, Gore calls for a manual recount in four strongly Democratic counties, including Palm Beach. Bush appeals, but it is dismissed by a federal judge.
The legal battle begins in earnest. Lawyers arrive en masse in Florida.
In the spotlight: the punch machines used in Palm Beach County to perforate the ballot paper. They show a rate of error too high for such a close vote.
Counting machines rejected thousands of ballots often due to machine malfunction or because voters failed to fully puncture the mark next to their chosen candidate, leaving only a “pregnant chad”, or partially perforated it, leaving a “hanging chad”.
Bush’s advisers slam irregularities in the counting, claiming the Democrats are trying to invalidate 25,000 postal votes from two Republican counties over a technicality.
On Nov 26, Florida declares Bush the winner, with 537 more votes. Gore contests the result, arguing thousands of votes have not been counted.
On Dec 8, Florida’s Supreme Court agrees with Gore and orders a manual recount of 45,000 ballots that were rejected by the machines.
Supreme Court decides
On Dec 12, the US Supreme Court steps in for the first time ever in a presidential election.
In a landmark judgement it rejects Florida’s recount and in doing so effectively shuts the door on Gore’s quest for the presidency.
“Although we may never know with complete certainty the identity of the winner... the identity of the loser is perfectly clear,” writes Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens in a dissenting opinion.
“It is the nation’s confidence in the judge as an impartial guardian of the rule of law.”
On Dec 18, Bush is elected the 43rd US president by the electoral college, with 271 of the 270 required votes, although Gore won the popular vote.
Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson says the election was “stolen”.
"GLITCH", my ass.
Oooopss! I meant “Trump to Biden”!!!!! Yikes.
I recall a few years of “questioning our democracy” when we had a full investigation into Russian meddling despite zero evidence or even a crime to actually investigate
And, so it begins.
And, so it begins
Good!
