Michigan State Senators Lana Theis, Ed McBroom, Joe Bellino, Dan Lauwers, and Kevin Daley announced on Tuesday that they are investigating Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s deal with Gotion after it was revealed that the battery manufacturing company has close ties with the Taliban and the Chinese Communist Party. Whitmer’s deal with the company says the State of Michigan will provide Gotion with state taxpayer dollars in exchange for Gotion to build a plant in Michigan. In a statement released on Tuesday, Michigan State Senators Lana Theis, Ed McBroom, Joe Bellino, Dan Lauwers, and Kevin Daley asked federal lawmakers for help...

Former President Donald Trump, while endorsing a handful of Michigan politicians on Monday, said the state “needs a new legislature.” Trump released statements Monday endorsing three Republicans for office in 2022, Mike Detmer and John Gibbs -- who are both challenging other Republicans -- as well as Rachelle Smit, a small-town clerk in Allegan County. In his endorsement of Smit, who is the current township clerk for Martin, in southwest Michigan, Trump said “Michigan needs a new legislature. The cowards there now are too spineless to investigate Election Fraud." Smit plans to run for the Michigan House of Representatives in...

.....The Michigan Senate Oversight Committee might be more properly referred to as the "Sightless" Committee. What did they fail to see or address? Let's examine just three areas. In Antrim County, they dismissed the need for a full forensic audit and noted that a risk-limited audit had already been completed that had demonstrated no widespread irregularities or fraud. Were they aware that Professor Phillip Stark, who created the risk-limited audit as the gold standard for audits, resigned from Verified Voting because of concerns that this type of audit was inadequate in the evaluation of an election? A risk-limited audit can...

The more we learn about Donald Trump’s baseless, false and discredited claims about the 2020 election, the more baseless, false and discredited those claims have become. Just consider the revelations over the past week — from Republicans: In Michigan, a GOP-led investigation by its state Senate concluded that it “found no evidence of widespread or systematic fraud in Michigan’s prosecution of the 2020 election.” (Remember, Biden won Michigan by more than 150,000 votes.) Regarding Arizona, a report co-authored by former Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson criticized the so-called “audit” of the election results in that state, saying it “does...

Red flags are everywhere in Michigan, and Republicans shouldn’t refuse a complete forensic audit unless they have something to hide. President Trump released a statement today targeting Senators Mike Shirkey (R) and Ed McBroom (R). In his statement, Trump claims the two state Senators were doing “everything possible” to stop another audit of the state’s election. Trump included their contact numbers in his press release: Mike Shirkey: (517) 373-5932 Ed McBroom: (517) 373-7840 These two RINOs are blocking an investigation into the 2020 election in Michigan.

“I’m getting more resistance from the Republicans in the state of Michigan, 3 in particular: Senate Majority leader Mike Sherkey, Ed McBroom and Senator John Bizon, our biggest opponents in this. We believe its because they were part of the group that appropriated the money to purchase these machines in 2017, and don't have the courage to stand up and acknowledge that they did something wrong, and also, I've been told by them that they believe having Joe Biden as president right now will help them win reelection in 2022”.

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...
