Now the Trumpbots want an audit for the Michigan results for the 2020 election!


And these idiots are accusing Democrats of derangement syndrome.

TEXT:

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Conservative activists who falsely claim former President Donald Trump won reelection asked the Republican-led Michigan Senate on Thursday to order an audit of the results, seeking a review like one that is underway in fellow battleground state Arizona.

Michigan Conservative Coalition co-founder Marian Sheridan said “something very wrong” happened in the 2020 election, though Trump’s unfounded fraud allegations have been resoundingly rejected by officials who certified the results, judges and others. The group said it submitted more than 7,000 affidavits from people backing a “forensic” audit.

“There has been an egregious injustice here in the state of Michigan and many other places,” said Lana Kristal of Bingham Farms.

It does not appear that Senate Republicans will embrace the request. Joe Biden defeated Trump by more than 154,000 votes, or about 2.8 percentage points, in the state.

Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, a Clarklake Republican who has acknowledged Biden won Michigan, said the delivery of petitions shows people “are still frustrated with how the election was prosecuted and frankly some of them are still frustrated with the results.” The Senate Oversight Committee has done an “unbelievable job" studying the election and will release a report next week, he said.

Shirkey said he is staying in touch with Arizona legislators and, once that audit is complete, will compare Arizona's process to the Michigan panel's work. He likened the committee's review, which included hearings and testimony from election officials, election companies, Republican poll challengers and others, to an “audit."

GOP senators this week approved tighter photo ID requirements for future Michigan elections, which Democrats denounced as a bid to suppress votes by making it harder to request absentee ballots and to vote in person without identification.

A 2018 constitutional amendment that expanded voting options gave voters the right to have statewide election results audited, in such as manner as prescribed by law. Legislators delegated audit procedures to the secretary of state.

Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, has said 250 post-election audits were conducted around Michigan and are “concrete evidence that November’s election was fair, secure and accurate, and that the results reflect the will of Michigan voters."

The effort in Arizona will not change Biden's victory, and election experts have pointed to flaws in the partisan process. But it has become a model for Republicans in other states hoping to turn up evidence supporting conspiracy theories.

So... why would it be bad for them to want an audit?

Kill yourself, dork.

You should be banned from life

Liberals ask me to kill myself every day - when they tell me I have to accept Islam.

Cause I'm gay, Muslims believe all gays should be killed

Plus, ISISlam is basically a living death for everybody anyway, so regardless of sexuality its the same thing

If they can tell me to kill myself, I will tell them to do so. Thank you

Not interested in a fake "audit" done by the same corrupt officials that ran the election.

Independent, third-party forensic audits are coming to all of the swing states. The true results of the 2020 election will be known.

Unfortunately, even if voter fraud were shown, I don't think there would be any real consequences.

It would convince some people that mail-in ballots are a terrible idea and Voter ID is a very good idea.

reply

I disagree. Mail-in voting is convenient and there isn't any evidence that shows they are easier to tamper with than in-person voting.
Hell, I could walk into a Voting Machine and pull whatever levers I want and who knows what happens afterward?

I can fill out my ballot at home, drop it in a secure Election Drop Box, and assume it will be treated honestly.

If we can't do that, I don't see the point in even having elections.

"there isn't any evidence that shows they are easier to tamper with than in-person"

Sure there is. A dementia patient is sitting in the Oval Office.

reply

the problem isnt legitimate mail-in ballots filled in by a registered voter.

the problem is that millions of mail-in ballots were sent out to people that didnt request them. a person can vote in person and then mail in their ballot the next day. it would take an army people to confirm and cross reference every vote received. this was never done. what happened is that the mail-in votes were mixed in with the in-person votes, now there is no way to tell which is which.

the other problem is that ballots can be printed and then later filled out, like what happened in Georgia,

what needs to happen is that they need to find out how many people voted by mail and in person and that the ballots counted should match up to how many people voted, again this take an army of people to do, this was never done. we just assume that everyone counting votes is 100% honest.

another problem is that dems accused Trump of "hacking" and "stealing" and "colluding" with Russia to win the 2016 election. a 2 year investigation was done and nothing was found, even though Nancy guaranteed us that Trump was guilty. now the democrats are saying this was the most fair and honest election since 1789 and no investigation is needed. even though sloe joe said he would lose by chicanery.

reply

great post!

reply

and assume it will be treated honestly.


And how will anyone verify that it was you? How will anyone verify if say 100 ballots are mailed in with bogus addresses? 1000?

You're a simple minded fool if you think there isn't rampant areas for fraud to occur

reply

They should allow it imo but under one condition, you forfeit your vote if nothing is found. This of course only comes after it was already audited once or more than once. Shouldn't feed crazy.

After 4 years of Russia russia russia...

Election integrity: Bad!

You can't make this shit up. 🤡🌎

And lo, all their hard work was for naught.
