Election integrity volunteers 'afraid' to attend recount after Michigan AG threatens prosecution

Many of the volunteers, seeking to "scrutinize" Michigan's election process in the aftermath of two controversial ballot proposals, melted away after Democratic AG warned of law enforcement response to possible "criminal acts."

An apparent threat by Michigan's Democrat Attorney General Dana Nessel to arrest and prosecute local activists promoting election integrity and anti-voter fraud efforts caused many of them to steer clear of a contentious monitoring effort out of fear of being targeted by the government, according to a Michigan attorney deeply involved in the situation.

Across Michigan on Wednesday, dozens of counties and hundreds of precincts began a recount for two controversial ballot proposals that were approved by voters on Nov. 8.

The first measure in question is Proposal 2, which establishes early voting, expands access to absentee voting and preempts Republican efforts to enact more stringent voter ID rules. The other measure is Proposal 3, which enshrines abortion rights in the state's constitution.

The recount was triggered by the efforts of Election Integrity Force (EIF), a group that says it seeks "transparent and trusted" elections. The effort is unlikely to reverse the proposals, which were approved by comfortable margins.

Still, volunteer election challengers affiliated with EIF showed up to observe the recount, requesting access to look for errors or irregularities on ballots and ballot boxes. Daniel Hartman, an attorney in Michigan who's been working with EIF and closely monitoring the recount effort, said the recount is meant to "scrutinize" Michigan's election process more so than to overturn the proposals.

And this will be the end result of any attempt to pull the elections back into an honest box.

Deranged thugs like Nessel will make sure no such thing happens...so she can keep “electing” herself.

"So much for lives, fortunes, and sacred honor"

In an ethical society, a Federal Judge would have armed Marshals accompany the volunteers. Eisenhower didn't hesitate to send armed troops to Arkansas to enforce integration, so what's the hesitation here when voting rights are the issue?

Gropin’ Joe is dependent upon corrupt, stolen elections. The entire Political Class is, in fact. Why would they cut their own throats?

“Eisenhower didn’t hesitate to send armed troops to Arkansas to enforce integration...”


Yes, he did. And he usually gets no credit from the civil rights bunch, of course because he was a Republican using armed troops against democrat state officials. But I don’t see Brandon sending troops to enforce voter integrity, in fact I can see him sending troops to enforce the steal.

They rigged the Michigan “elections” in 2018, 2020 and 2022 - with the help of Michigan Republicans.
