Michigan Board of Elections Orders County Clerks to Delete Vote Data
Breitbart ^ | 5 Dec 2020 | KYLE OLSON

Posted on 12/05/2020 1:13:55 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

Michigan Republican legislative leaders were not happy on Friday when they learned the Board of Elections (BOE) ordered county clerks to delete election-related data from government computers.

On December 1, the BOE, which is under the auspices of Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D), sent a memo to all clerks about recounts and the “release of voting equipment.”

One section, titled, “E-Pollbook laptops and flash drives,” read:

The EPB software and associated files must be deleted from all devices by the seventh calendar day following the final canvass and certification of the election (November 30, 2020) unless a petition for recount has been filed and the recount has not been completed, a post-election audit is planned but has not yet been completed, or the deletion of the data has been stayed by an order of the court or the Secretary of State.

That raised the ire of state Rep. Matt Hall (R) and state Sen. Ed McBroom (R), chairmen of their respective oversight committees, who indicated the memo violated an order by House Speaker Lee Chatfield (R) and Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey (R) for election data to be preserved.

Chatfield and Shirkey issued a directive on November 6 “which served as notice of the Michigan Legislature’s plans to conduct an inquiry into the general election,” a release from Hall said.

“Because of that inquiry, Detroit city clerk and BOE offices were directed to preserve certain materials, including relevant electronic information. The inquiry also demands all surveillance video recordings that were taken at the TCF Center in Detroit from Nov. 3-5 be kept,” it continued.

Dems are arrogant. They cheat in plain sight as if taunting us, and they do whatever they want to do.

Right - they declare Biden the winner with no proof and then destroy whatever data is there to prove it.

Patriots should seize the machines! Whats the urgency to clear them now? It’s only to cover up evidence of fraud. Any honest person would see this.

Their right to particpate in the electoral college should be forfeit.

What should happen to people that try to overthrow our nation?

Threat them the same as foreigners that attempt to overthrow our nation?

Dump them in the ocean like bin Laden?

I don’t like people stealing our election. They are terrorists to me.

As far as I’m concerned, these actions are capital crimes.

Nothing will happen to them.

They’ll probably get promoted.

Our only hope is Divine Intervention by the Lord God Almighty. We are dealing with evil people. Keep praying. Can you begin to imagine what a Biden-Harris White House would mean for our country. Hello New World Order. . .of course that’s been in the works for some time.

Every last one of them needs to be arrested and jailed for life for election tampering.

This is stinking RIDICULOUS!

AMEN!

Scripture is full of moments like that where people did not expect what was coming.

I long to see justice done.
