“This is a fraud case, and we have to prove intent, and I don’t believe that there’s evidence sufficient to prove intent,” Judge Kristen Simmons said
Ajudge on Tuesday dismissed the cases against Michigan alternate electors for the 2020 presidential election.
Prosecutors had alleged that the electors were involved in efforts to overturn former President Joe Biden's 2020 election win in the state, NBC News reported.
"These cases will not be bound over to the circuit court," said Judge Kristen Simmons, a state district court judge appointed by Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. "Each case will be dismissed."
Simmons said the Michigan Republicans were trying to seek redress after President Donald Trump’s loss and attempted to perform their civic duties.
"The prosecution would like the court to believe that these named defendants were savvy or sophisticated enough to understand fully the electoral process, which the court does disagree with because the document that was presented doesn't even align with the level of sophistication that they want me to believe," Simmons said before handing down her ruling.
"This alternate document doesn't state it's an official document of the state of Michigan," she also said, pointing out that the electors did not attempt to forge the governor's signature or create a fake seal.
“This is a fraud case, and we have to prove intent, and I don’t believe that there’s evidence sufficient to prove intent,” Simmons said.
She also said she believed there was not enough evidence to establish that the Republican electors were trained, understood their duties, and knew how the electoral system worked.
Simmons also said that the defendants "sincerely" believed that the 2020 presidential election had "serious irregularities."

Reality is that these Democratic Party led prosecutions were civil rights violations. The Republican Party had a right and duty to make accurate representations about the results of the elections which were clearly problematic in an election where 43% of the ballots were cast by mail— an absolutely staggering number. The 1876 election was wildly affected by operations conducted by the KKK on behalf of the Democratic Party. As is the case here, the purpose was to deny the right to vote. The sincerely held beliefs of the Republican electors is more than justification for their actions.
The lack of a spine indicated by the RNC even in the case of Nixon’s loss to Kennedy in 1960 is a major cause of our national corruption rooted in the urban centers of the nation. It is a long standing historical problem.

A fake news piece crafted by Democrat Natalia Mittelstadt, newsliar for Jest The News.
Michigan Courts have to report on the status of all criminal cases beyond 6 months. How has this case lingered for 5 years? Secondly, I believe Antrim County, Michigan had to reverse thousands of votes given to Biden that were made for President Trump. I think it was 6,000 votes.
I have to withdraw my comments about Antrim County voting. Wikipedia says otherwise.
It’s political, therefore anything is Wikipedia is probably a Lefty lie.

"Wednesday morning, Antrim results showed Democrat Joe Biden leading Trump by slightly more than 3,000 votes, with 98% of precincts reporting."

Thank you for locating that. It was a 6,000 vote swing.
What in this story is fake?
Why did the civil rights division of the DOJ not go after the Michigan AG for violation of their civil rights?
The Democrats would absolutely do this if the roles were reversed.
Huh? A rat-appointed judge saw the railroading of the GOP defendants and threw out the case.
Fake what exactly?
Yes - you were correct.
"Joe Biden's 2020 election win in the state"
I’m angry that Natalia Mittelstadt quacked out the Gaslight Media line that there were no voting issues in the state.
As freeper healy61 pointed out, the 6,000 vote swing in Antrim, and also the business in the TCF in DeToilette.
“Dirty Josey” and Nazi Nessel were hard at work - also, taking these blameless people for a ride in the corrupt “justice” system.
Try again.
You want me to PROVE that BiteMe’s “election win” was fake in Michigan?
