Michigan Legislative Committees Slap Multiple Cities with Election-Related Subpoenas
Townhall ^ | 12/16/2020 | Beth Baumann

Posted on 12/16/2020 6:44:01 AM PST by SeekAndFind

The Michigan Legislature's House and Senate oversight committees on Tuesday voted to subpoena election materials from Detroit and its suburb, Livonia. 

The cities have been instructed to turn over all hard drives, communications with poll workers, absentee counting boards and any other election-related materials. 

The joint committee is also interested in reviewing documentation about voting machines, including when they were purchased, what previous elections the machines were used in, and the accuracy tests that were conducted on the machines. 

Detroit and Livonia were asked to turn over policies relating to the Wuhan coronavirus, including instructions given to poll workers and the rules guiding ballot challengers. 

From Just the News:

A Nov. 28 order memo from the State Bureau of Elections had followed the same protocol as prior elections and ordered the deletion by November 30 of “E-Pollbook laptops and flash drives … 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.”

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's (D) Director of Media Relations, Tracy Wimmer, brushed off Republicans' concerns about the memo, saying the GOP has "no interest in preserving the integrity of our elections or democracy" because the "Republican House and Senate legal counsel were provided this information days ago."

State Sen. Ruth Johnson (R), the former secretary of state, signed onto the subpoena despite signing the same deletion order in the past because of voting irregularities this election cycle.

“Election integrity should not be a partisan issue, this information needs to be preserved while there are ongoing lawsuits, audits, and Oversight committee review of the November election,” Johnson told Just the News. “Only after these activities are concluded should this information be deleted for data privacy reasons.”

Both cities have until 5 p.m. eastern time on Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2021 to produce the documents to Chairman Sen. Ed McBroom, the subpoenas state.

RE: Should have done this a month ago...

Just look at this last sentence from the article and weep:

Both cities have until 5 p.m. eastern time on Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2021 to produce the documents to Chairman Sen. Ed McBroom, the subpoenas state.

1) Any fraudulent information would have been erased by then

2) Even if they found fraud, what would it do for the country on January 12?

At least in AZ they have until this Friday. Once fraud is found on machines there this will blow wide open.

Seems we see this so very often, the socialists do something, and the day before we are screwed then something is done by our side that should have been done as you say.... Immediately after the event.

January 12th may be too late for this years election, but if they can clean up Wayne County for future elections that will be a milestone achievement as that County has been cheating for decades.

Golly gee, sorry but we destroyed all those documents right after we certified the vote, not enough storage space to keep everything forever.

It seems to me that an orchestrated effort by 2022 state GOP candidates to run on a promise to “Drain the Fraudulent Election Swamps” that exist; particularly in these swing states. I think that good candidates that want to reign in these inner city fiefdoms would be well received.

I’ve wondered about that myself. I’ve read elsewhere that technically, the only Constitutionally firm date is Jan. 20, and that the other “deadlines” are tradition.

All kinds of weird scenarios offer themselves. A buddy of mine has even suggested that if BiteOne were binstalled on Jan. 20, he’d be un-installed shortly after that if the massive nationwide fraud is found & finally acknolwedged. Who knows?

FEDERAL LAW requires retention for 22 months. Felony.

So why are they not in jail anywhere this has happened. Hillary being a prime example, or maybe Mueller who destroyed every mobile phone. Law isn't any law at all until it is enforced and that one won't be, not this time, maybe not ever after this election. Republicans merely accused of such are certainly vulnerable.
