The Election Denier Who Could Run Michigan’s Elections
The Atlantic ^ | 5/22/22 | Elaine Godfrey

Posted on 05/22/2022 5:02:36 AM PDT by Libloather

In the weeks after the 2020 election, one particular Michigan woman was trumpeting claims of fraud as loudly as she could. Kristina Karamo, a community-college professor who’d previously accused Democrats of having a “Satanic agenda,” went on Fox News again and again to describe how illegal ballots supposedly had been tallied for Joe Biden at the TCF Center in Detroit, where she worked as a poll watcher. She testified before the State Senate that sacks of votes inexplicably had been dropped off there in the middle of Election Night. She suggested that Dominion Voting software had flipped Trump votes to Biden votes statewide.

None of what Karamo described actually happened - as far as anyone has been able to confirm. Her story served its purpose, though: Karamo has spent the past year campaigning to be Michigan’s next secretary of state. Some people might have dismissed her, at first, as just another down-ballot conspiracy kook with no chance of winning her party’s primary. But last month, the Michigan Republican Party chose Karamo as its nominee. Barring any changes at an upcoming convention in August, and with Republicans poised to have a strong midterm election year, Karamo has a shot at victory in November.

Michigan’s next election chief, in other words, might be one of its foremost election-conspiracy theorists. And what happens in this swing state in 2024 could tip the entire presidential outcome. “One thing the last six years has taught me is you never say never,” Jeff Timmer, a former executive director of the Michigan Republican Party who has been highly critical of the GOP’s new direction, told me this week. “Crazy is powerful, and it doesn’t get tired.”

Donald Trump is the main reason Karamo has gotten this far.

They’re getting worried. They’re openly wringing their hands. Things aren’t going as they planned.

Mollie Hemingway’s book is excellent, but dense, packed with facts. There is no doubt the election was stolen. There was cartel of influencers who were working to stop Trump. There was no mob like meeting where the plan was detailed the racket was real.

You’re too terrified of it to even mention it.

One thing that is never mentioned in the Michigan election steal is that no only was the election stolen from Trump but Senate candidate John James too who was on the ballot.........

The Democrats could not have stolen anything if it had not been for RINO-controlled state legislatures who knowingly turned a blind eye to the cheating.

I pray to God that as many RINOs as possible get purged in the primaries this summer and every 2 years until OUR party is no longer infested with these traitorous, embedded spies.

If this lady wins SOS, along with Mastriano winning PA governor, Keri Lake as AZ governor, and that awful Raffensperger replaced by Jody Hice, then that will be a huge step toward election integrity for 2024.

I still think that the Trump-endorsed squish Perdue has a chance of getting into a run-off with Kemp in GA. I have studied the internals of the "polls" showing Kemp way ahead, and what they leave out is interesting. First of all, GA is an open primary, so Democrats are allowed to vote in the republican primary (what a great idea -- let your enemies be part of the process to choose your nominee). These polls are composed of "Likely Republican Primary Voters." But if it is an open primary, then Democrats are eligible to be part of this poll. And what is the percentage of Democrats to Republicans in these polls? Surprise, surprise -- they don't say. Just like they never say how many callers they had to go through to get their sample of 850 people. They are working very hard to make everyone believe that Kemp is inevitable and Perdue hasn't got a prayer. Yet if that were true, then why isn't the same holding up for Raffensperger? Kemp was every bit a traitor as he was. At the end of the day -- just get out and vote. Ignore the lamestream media polls and vote.

I have often commented that the RINO-controlled state legislatures were so desperate to get rid of Trump that they allowed 3 Senate seats to be handed to the Democrats, and thereby control of the Senate. Two in GA and one in MI.

If these state legislatures could not allow any kind of investigation into cheating over these Senate seats because anything that was uncovered would have also been shown to have cheated Trump.

RINOs are the reason for the woke, clown world we live in.

RINOs are the reason the latest SCOTUS addition is a wacko lefty who doesn't know how to define what a woman is. That nomination should have been Trump's to make.

RINOs are traitorous, embedded spies, and we must take back our party by purging sending these criminals packing in the primaries this summer if we are to have any hope of regaining the presidency in 2024.

What’s the title of Hemingway’s book? We are looking for an audiobook we can listen to on a long road trip.

The phrase “election deniers” suggests that those who question the outcome of an election are really seeking to deny others the “right to vote” in that election.
Thus, the phrase is INHERENTLY—and quite cleverly— prejudicial!

Election “denier” = Holocaust denier

Think of the evil of this equivalence. Acknowledging the 2020 election was stolen, which it obviously was, is the same as denying the murder of millions of Jews by Nazi Germany. The Stalinazi media is truly Satanic.

And adding fuel to the fire in the last election MI went from 100% red in statewide elected positions to 100% blue overnight.

One has to wonder if the voting fraud didn’t go deeper on down the ballot.

It would also be something if these commies (WHitler, Nessel, etc.) were turned out this fall. I don’t recall a one-term governor here in my lifetime and I’m retired.
