Without evidence, state Legislature votes to subpoena elections bureau (MI)
The State News ^ | 7 Nov 2020 | Evan Jones

Just as former Vice President Joe Biden secured the 270 electoral votes to become the 46th president of the United States, in Michigan, a joint state Senate and House oversight committee voted along party lines to subpoena documents relating to the 2020 election, investigating irregularities without evidence.

Chair of the committee, Sen. Ed McBroom (R-Vulcan) acknowledged that reports of irregularities were anecdotal, but insisted that a subpoena for documents would provide clarity because the public is at a "fever pitch" of interest.

“The premise of these hearings is not to overturn the will of the people of this state, not to overturn right and fair and honest elections,” he said.

Sen. Jeff Irwin (D-Ann Arbor) said the hearing was extraordinary.

“We had a safe, free and fair election here in Michigan and that the margin was significant enough that even having this process leads to a concern from many of us that there is an effort to simply overturn the clear will of the voters," Irwin said. "If that is what’s happening here, then we’re going to have a real serious problem in this nation."

Even if the intent of the hearing was to overturn the will of Michigan voters, the state Legislature has no ability nor legal authority to do so.

U.S. law requires state governors to prepare Certificates of Ascertainment of the vote after the bipartisan State Board of Canvassers certifies the official results. This process includes recording the names of electors that meet at the state house and their electoral college votes.

Rep. Cynthia Johnson (D-Detroit) was more direct.

"It’s a done deal," Johnson said. "This is political theatre. ... We can stop this right now."

Indeed, the issuance of subpoenas is unique for the state Legislature.

Yeah, there is no evidence...unless you count the numerous witnesses who have come forward--or the "software glitch" in Antrim County.

I find myself wishing for some good old-fashioned Old Testament "zots" to come down.

Without evidence??

1) one county has already flipped to Trump due to a “glitch” in the software

2) one postal worker has already stepped forward saying he was told to backdate ballots

and on and on...

“We had a safe, free and fair election here in Michigan...”

Drug testing of state office holders seems to be an immediate need.

If the election was close like they say it is, it wouldn't have taken very long to flip a few thousand votes and have it wrapping up on election night. The fact that it took an army of fraudsters three and a half days of round the clock ballot stuffing using modern technology to even catch up goes to show it was a landslide for Trump

“investigating irregularities without evidence.”

How do you like that. Even Mueller would say that the purpose of an investigation is to turn up evidence prompted by probable cause.

The MSM, with the Russian hoax, pushed an investigation without evidence and no probable cause.

Vulcan is a small village in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, in Dickinson County. McBroom is a good legislature.
