Michigan Senate finds no evidence of fraud in 2020 election
The Hill ^ | June 23, 2021 | JORDAN WILLIAMS

Posted on 06/23/2021 10:59:56 AM PDT by lowbridge

A report from the GOP-controlled Michigan state Senate released Wednesday found no evidence of fraud in the 2020 election.

The report from the state Senate Oversight Committee affirmed that there was no evidence of fraud in the election. 

“The Committee can confidently assert that it has been thorough in examination of numerous allegations of unlawful actions, improper procedures, fraud, vote theft, or any other description which would cause citizens to doubt the integrity of Michigan’s 2020 election results,” the committee wrote.

“Our clear finding is that citizens should be confident the results represent the true results of the ballots cast by the people of Michigan,” the panel continued.

The report is the latest to rebuke false claims by former President Trump and his allies that the 2020 election was riddled with widespread voter fraud.

Michigan was one of a handful of key swing states that Trump lost. The state was hit with dozens of GOP-led lawsuits seeking to overturn the results of the state, all of which were unsuccessful.

Biden won just over 50 percent of the vote in the state, compared to Trump’s 48 percent.

The panel said that while there are weaknesses in the state’s election system, there was no evidence of widespread fraud.

The report particularly took aim at false claims made about the election in Antrim County, where human errors led to incorrect initial results, according to The Detroit News.

The official tally showed that Trump won the GOP-leaning county with 61 percent of the vote, compared to Biden’s 37 percent, the newspaper reported.

The committee asserted that using Antrim county as evidence of widespread voter fraud is baseless, and called for an investigation into people who use the county “to raise money or publicity for their own ends.”

Doesn’t sound to me that they did an audit the way AZ is doing it.

Not only that, MI sounds like they did a half-ass job but they can’t fool many of us.

Oh I feel so very reassured that votes counted in the middle of the night by Democrat partisans with no observers allowed turned what looked like a clear win for Trump to a statical miracle sudden jump for Biden was not actually due to fraud. So glad they were thorough.

----- Interesting word salad there. Reading it carefully, they didn't examine anything.

Key phrase:

The panel said that while there are weaknesses in the state’s election system, there was no evidence of widespread fraud.

That’s code for we looked at a 30 ballots and found 1 fraudulent ballot and concluded it was fine.

Republicans 22 vs Democrats 16 in Michigan Senate.

No doubt RINO’s and Democrats control the chamber.

This is the state that had the big giant F line on the election chart when at 3am Biden got an infusion of two hundred thousand ballots to ten thousand for Trump. That’s right, Biden got 95% of all those late ballots that materialized out of no where.

Who are they trying to kiss up to?

It certainly isn’t me or the other good people of Michigan.
We know there was rampant fraud including the usual Wayne County (Detroit) illegalities.

“Our clear finding is that citizens should be confident the results represent the true results of the ballots cast by the people of Michigan,”

They didn’t look to see if all the ballots were legal.

The fraud was not in the count. The fraud was in the streets with thousands of individual crimes at the precinct level.

And violation of existing state laws concerning the protection of ballots.

It all depends on how you define “widespread” and how you define “fraud”. Anyway, let’s not upset the apple cart, right Michigan Senate?

Agree. And "which was never proven." Still used last week on Fox Radio News.

Sounds to me Der Fuhreress found somebody some loose change.

Well... that state’s never going to be a bastion of American truths.

Truck loads of ballots were taken to polling stations in Michigan when the voting was halted, and the Michigan Senate issues this crap statement?

Commander in Thief Biden.

They haven’t done any type of forensic audit like Maricopa county has done in Arizona. This is a bunch of bullcrap!
