Michigan Democrat Bill Preemptively Chills Questions About Election Fraud
The Federalist ^ | July 01, 2024 | Allison Schuster

Posted on 07/01/2024 12:08:07 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Last week, Michigan passed legislation obstructing the process of recounting votes in the event of suspected election fraud this November. Senate Bills 603 and 604 would, if enacted, thwart the ability to recount votes through several means, chiefly by requiring any fraud allegations to be referred to the county prosecutor (i.e. Democrat district attorneys), rather than conducting a recount through bipartisan boards. 

Republican state senators are sounding the alarm on the threat this poses to the integrity of their state’s elections. The pair of bills, passed in conjunction with one another, invite voter fraud by making investigating the fraud nearly impossible.

Each county in Michigan has a board of canvassers that reports to the Board of State Canvassers. Each board is bipartisan with two Democrats and two Republicans. Under current Michigan law, these boards have the authority to investigate fraud with respect to voting. But these Democrat-pushed bills completely strip that away. Not only do they double the fees for a candidate to request a recount, but they also change the definition of what constitutes investigation at all. 

“Under current law, recounts of votes can be done based on the allegation of fraud or a mistake. The legislation removes fraud as a reason for a recount,” a statement released last week from Michigan House Republicans reads. “It also states that recount petitions may only allege an error and must state that there would have been a different outcome in the election without that error.”

These bills not only remove potential fraud as a cause for recount but also specify that recount petitions may only be brought if they would have changed the election results.

Michigan deserves who they elect and what they pass. I hope they can keep the results in Michigan and not impact the rest of the USA.

Michigan and Wisconsin are the California of the Midwest — lost causes.

THIS is why Whitmer is under consideration for the nomination.

It’s amazing the number of state and national problems that would be solved simply by nuking Detroit from orbit.

Don’t forget Minnesota!

But subtract Minneapolis-St. Paul, Milwaukee, and Detroit and we’d be okay with the rest of those 3 states.

Michigan Poll: Trump Leads Biden
Breitbart ^ | 07/01/2024 | HANNAH KNUDSEN
Posted on 7/1/2024, 1:40:15 PM by ChicagoConservative27

Former President Donald Trump is leading President Joe Biden in the swing state of Michigan, a recent EPIC-MRA poll found.

The survey found Trump leading Biden with support from 49 percent of respondents. Biden trails by four points, as 45 percent said they would support the 81-year-old in a head-to-head matchup.

The margin of Trump’s lead remains unchanged when third-party candidates are thrown into the mix. In that scenario, Trump leads with 42 percent, followed by Biden with 38 percent support — a four-point difference, yet again. Independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. comes in third place with ten percent support, followed by two percent for Green Party candidate Jill Stein and two percent for independent candidate Cornel West.

One by one the communist controlled states will pass laws preventing the inner city ballot dump fraud from being challenged.

... recount petitions may only be brought if they would have changed the election results.

How cute.

How is it determined in a timely manner and by whom, that 10 million mail-in ballots with no means of verification would have changed the outcome?

Even if the total votes did not exceed the number of properly registered eligible voters, what safeguard is there that ballots will not be "substituted"?

(See tagline)

It was reported that Whitmer told the DNC that Mi was gone if Biden is on the ticket. At the same time she started a draft Whitmer ground swell. She’s a real psycho piece of work.

No, the people of michigan do not deserve this. Vote fraud is a crime. What the people of michigan deserve is justice, democratic politicos in prison.

Why would Michigan want to codify “the cheat”?

The democrats know how to play the game. Hopefully a new party MAGA, takes over the republicans because the republicans allow the democrat to kick the crap out of them all the time. Govs Abbot and DeSantis should immediately press for the exact same law in their states.
