LANSING, MI - When Rudy Giuliani and his witnesses challenged election results last week in front of the House Oversight Committee, nobody testified under oath.
The same was true the day before with election challengers in the Senate Oversight Committee. That pattern changed Tuesday during three hours of sworn testimony from Chris Thomas, a former state elections director who served as an elections advisor to Detroit this fall.
**SNIP**
Despite the challenge, the level of mistakes were minor and should not be confused with widespread fraud, Thomas said. The number of ballots in question is negligible, Thomas said, considering the 172,000 absentee ballots Detroit workers at the TCF Center had to process on election night.
“Election officials across the state have labored under enormous mail ballot volume and performed extremely well,” he said. “Those who wish to turn this election into some type of disaster have missed the big picture.”
Thomas, who helmed the Michigan Bureau of Elections for 36 years under both Republican and Democratic governors, spoke with MLive last week to fact check several elements of Giuliani’s testimony:
On Tuesday, Thomas repeated many of his refutations of testimony from Giuliani and several of the witnesses he brought forward. He also took some time to defend the cybersecurity of Detroit election computers, which ran on a local server without an internet connection. Former state Sen. Patrick Colbeck speculated that ballot information was transmitted via internet, which could have led to remote ballot tampering.
“There was nothing transmitted (via internet) at TCF,” he said. “Folks can talk until they’re blue in the face, but there was nothing transmitted from TCF.”

Excellent point.
there was no valid need to have huge amount or state wide in some cases of mail in ballots for this election.
if they want to think they handled it well, there was no need for it in the first place. They created the need for mail in ballots then messed up counting them and allowed for fraud of various kinds etc, and this guy wants to to talk like they did some awesome job???

gag me with a spoon..lol....
Exactly! What’s the last time one ever gets undercharges on credit card bills?
In 50 years of using credit card, I was charged double on gas purchase just once!
But both my card and my wife’s credit card had identical bogus charges about 4 years back. Both from the same gas station in NY city. Neither one of us had lost the cards and we never use our cards in the same stores. So we figured it was inside job at the credit card company. They of course canceled all bogus charges.
Basically, the lump of rotting dogsqueezins signed off on a fraudulent Michigan vote in 2016.
Which makes him an unprosecuted felon.

"Not one smidgeon of scandal in my administration."
Boy, was that an understatement.
This lying airhead is a poly-sci major from the mid-70s who doesn't know squat about computers.
He needs to shut his ignorant mouth.
Nobody TESTIFIED that day under oath, but, as Rudy plainly said, they all signed affidavits under oath.
Treason is still punishable by death.
Chrissie here has been retired for two or three years, so I imagine that he’s had time to brush up on his Mandarin...
Mlive is all in on either a black out or a negatively skewed story (so they can say they covered it), just like the Detroit free press and the Detroit news. None of them are objective in their reporting and are no friends of conservatives. I no longer click on their sites. Garbage, all three.
