These Michigan election critics could become key nominees in 2022 and test GOP's identity

Aug. 12—Lansing — Riding a wave of frustration focused on the last election, Kristina Karamo and Matthew DePerno have risen, in a matter of months, to become contenders for top Republican spots on Michigan's ballot in 2022.

Karamo, an Oak Park educator who hopes to be the GOP nominee for secretary of state next year, and DePerno, a Kalamazoo lawyer who is seeking the nomination for attorney general, gained prominence by contending there was fraud in Democrat Joe Biden's presidential victory over Republican Donald Trump in Michigan.

Their campaigns are poised to test how closely state Republicans are holding to Trump's unsubstantiated claims that the presidency was stolen from him and whether party activists are willing to support other candidates who haven't bought into the idea.

In a Tuesday interview, DePerno took aim at fellow Republicans, criticizing Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, R-Clarklake, and Senate Oversight Chairman Ed McBroom, R-Vulcan, who led a months-long probe that found there was no systemic fraud in the 2020 vote.

"There is a divide right now in the Michigan Republican Party between conservative constitutionalists, like myself, and progressives, like Mike Shirkey and Ed McBroom," DePerno said. "I think that's a fight we need to have."

>>Trump’s unsubstantiated claims

Craig Mauger can kiss my grits. Put him immediately in the Leftist Propagandist category.

The media is STILL denying any election fraud took place. The packet captures PROVE beyond doubt that Donald Trump won the election.

Joe Biden is illegitimate. He knows it, they know it, we all know it.

For four years, all we heard from the rats was Russia, Russia, Russia and golden showers even though they knew it was a pile of crap paid for by Clinton.

We now have PROOF that the 2020 USA election was commandeered by a communist enemy. We don’t need an investigation. It’s already been proven.

It’s time for the GOP state governors to mobilize their national guard and send in the tanks. Arrest all the coup plotters in the media, especially MCNBC. Put them in paddy wagons and depose their worthless flesh.

I hate RINOs more than Democrats.

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

They won their 2020 elections on Trump's coat tails and then stabbed him in the back.

There is a tidal wave coming for them in the 2022 primaries.

The old RINO formula for winning primaries won't work anymore. It used to be that the RNC would pour money into the RINO campaign and run at least 3 other "conservative" candidates to dilute the vote of the real conservative, who would be an unknown and have no big-name endorsements. That how the RINOs have stayed in power and THE JIG IS UP.

RNC donations have evaporated (as they well should). Once Trump makes endorsements and starts holding mega rallies and bringing them onstage, it won't matter how many "conservative" challengers are in the mix.

I can't wait for these smug RINO traitors to be kicked out.

who led a months-long probe that found there was no systemic fraud in the 2020 vote.

Sounds like the kind of probe that engaged in what amounted to a ballot recount, and shazam, the same result. It was machine manipulation of the vote in all fifty States and it takes a forensic audit to get to the bottom of those technical issues not to mention issues related to ballot chain of custody. A legal issue that basically went out the window as influenza.

There is a former Michigan State Senator leading the fight in his State.

Watching the final day of Mike Lindell’s Cyber Symposium will hopefully be beneficial in that regard. There are State Legislators from 49 States in attendance seeing the evidence.
