UPDATE 6:45 p.m.: After publication of this article, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's administration announced that the contract was being rescinded.
Michigan Democratic governor Gretchen Whitmer has handed over control of the state’s new contact-tracing operation to one of her own campaign vendors and one of the left’s biggest technology firms. The move has sparked concern that she is using the coronavirus to strengthen the Democratic Party’s data operation, potentially at the expense of public health.
The Whitmer administration announced Monday that it had awarded a contract for contact tracing in the state to Every Action VAN, an arm of the Democratic data behemoth NGP VAN. The liberal firm works with all of the major Democratic campaign committees and hundreds of labor unions across the country, according to its website, and will "help organize remote phone banking and track information and contacts" for Michigan, a state press release said.
Partnering with Every Action, Michigan hopes to collect information from thousands of individuals across the state to better understand the spread of the coronavirus. Trained volunteers are placing phone calls to those who have been in contact with coronavirus-infected individuals, inquiring about their health and advising them on appropriate precautions.

This testing does nothing but provides statistics they will have no effect or usefulness in opening up any region.
What could possibly go wrong. Michigan will be in lockdown until after Christmas.
can she walk and chew bubble gum at the same time?
stupid is as stupid does
Has anyone ever seen a State or Country collapse so fast under a dictator? At least Castro had to fight a revolution to take over Cuba.
The people of Michigan are spineless cowards who are letting Governor Witless do whatever she wants.
You know, this is the kind of stuff we oughta be throwing people in jail for.
This woman is dumb as hell ....not as dumb as the idiots that elected her, but dumb!
This one is a nasty little bitch, corrupt beyond the pale. She is convinced that she will get away with it. This is a great opportunity for her and her Party, and she is going to use her power to advance their political agenda. She just announced that she has cancelled the contract, but she will do this sort of thing again. This is what the Organized Crime Enterprise called the Democrat Party does.
Pull the strings and the puppet moves!
They are sneaky a-holes always trying to score big. I guess most did not know that America essentially just p*ssed away another half Trillion.Chuck and ice cream woman are ecstatic. If they are ecstatic,we just got screwed.Yes,it’s supposed to go to small biz but I am sure most will disappear. The next political theft and stimulus written of phony paper,phony digital amounts backed by nothing will be another $2 Trillion plus in the next “stage”.
It was reported on my local mid-Michigan talk radio station that heil whitmer is also holding back covid numbers from prisons and nursing homes until next week, when she plans to dump them all at once. Then she will use that number to justify extending house arrest, er I mean, stay-at-home order.
Compassionate Communism brought to you by Gov. Wretched Gretchen Whitless!!!
“The people of Michigan” are here. Me. A bunch of us. Please stop having your jollies, getting your rocks off and basically telling us we got our just desserts. We (outstate, upstate, UP) didn’t vote for her. If you can’t be sympathetic, please expend your creative talents on mocking the Governess.
Ya, sure, eh?
Funneling money to her cronies
The DEMs dare the rest of the country to do anything about it, because they know a vast majority of the time they will get away with it.
She is not stupid, my FRiend.
That should make any thinking person worry.
.
Of course she did. Some for you, some for me.
The count commissioners court in Dallas voted today to extend the lockdown till May 15. Around 60 deaths in the whole county. Hopefully Gov. Abbott will override Little dictators
Nurse Wretched.
Already rolled it back after getting caught, says it will be awarded to a different company. (Someone needs to check them out, they’re not above doing the same thing again).
