In the 2022 mid-term elections in Michigan, voters handed control of the Michigan Legislature to the Democrats, giving them a majority in both the Michigan House of Representatives and the Michigan Senate — something that hasn’t happened for forty years. Since then, they’ve been working hand in glove with our notorious Democrat governor, Gretchen Whitmer, including passing a slew of bills that significantly transform election procedures in the State of Michigan and make it easier to commit election fraud, while at the same time making it harder to uncover it.
A little background on Governor Whitmer for the uninitiated is in order. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Whitmer transferred Covid-stricken seniors to nursing homes and long-term care facilities and prevented the removal of Covid-infected patients from these facilities, thus exposing the most vulnerable segment of the population — those over age 60 and with pre-existing medical conditions — to the dangers of this disease.
Thousands of seniors in these long-term housing and care facilities died, but clever manipulation of the statistics hid the magnitude of the deaths in these facilities — until the Auditor General’s Report released in January of 2022. It documented that Whitmer’s administration underreported nursing home covid deaths by a whopping 42%.
Whitmer imposed Covid-19 restrictions on the state’s population that she regularly disregarded. During the Covid lockdown, Whitmer took a $40,000 flight on a private jet to Florida. She told the media it was to visit her ‘sick father,’ but there were no medical records to verify this. The duration of her trip was first reported as two days. Whitmer later admitted that her staff lied to the press; she was gone for four days. No one knows to this day who paid for the $40K flight or what she was doing in the Sunshine State.
Back to the story at hand. In November of 2022, Michigan voters also passed Proposal 2, a proposal to amend the voting procedures previously authorized in the State of Michigan’s Constitution. While the proposal passed with (ostensibly) 60% of the vote, the recent batch of bills purportedly written to implement the changes of Proposal 2 goes significantly beyond what was authorized by the voters.
The new legislation hands over verification of absentee ballots from an elected bipartisan board of inspectors to city or township clerks. They also significantly expand the powers of election clerks and the Secretary of State. For example, the Secretary of State can now dictate election procedures without going through the formal rule-making process. This greatly increases the potential for fraud and significantly reduces the safeguards against it.
According to Representative Ruth Johnson (R) Holly, MI, these bills remove every instance of the word ‘fraud’ in the previous law and replace them with the word, ‘error.’ Criminality of intent is thus effectively insulated from prosecution and the ability to address election fraud is stripped away. In fact, under Senate Bills 603 and 604, alleged fraud can no longer be used to request a recount.
Perhaps that’s the reason why Michigan Republican legislators were uniformly opposed to these bills. With a Democrat governor, attorney general, and secretary of state, might it not be wise to ask who stands to benefit from these bills that subtly, but significantly, change the state’s previous law and render voting fraud virtually immune from prosecution?
Michigan is a critical swing state in the upcoming presidential election, along with Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Wisconsin, Nevada, and North Carolina. After watching the shenanigans that occurred in the 2020 elections in many of these states — voting stopped for several hours; mathematically impossible vote swings that surfaced out of nowhere when vote counting resumed; windows covered up so observers couldn’t watch ballot counters; boxes stuffed with ballots suddenly appearing from under tables and unloaded from the backs of vans; and much more — it’s not unreasonable to expect that, with the outcome of the 2024 presidential election being even more critically important to the Obama-Biden-Radical Left machine, Democrats would be even more motivated to control the voting outcome than they were in 2020.
I don’t know what’s going on currently in swing states other than Michigan. I do know that in 2020, Democrats in Arizona and Wisconsin attempted to change voting regulations in the final days before the election. In Maricopa County, the largest Democrat County in Arizona, Recorder Adrian Fontes, a Democrat, announced that he was mailing early ballots to every Democrat voter who had not cast a ballot, whether the voter had requested one or not.
Kory Langhofer, a Phoenix-based lawyer with expertise in political and constitutional law, wrote:
“When courts or elections officials change voting procedures on the eve of an election, particularly in a manner that has disparate partisan impact, it has significant consequences. It creates widespread voter confusion — most importantly among elderly voters, a vulnerable demographic that historically trends conservative — and opportunities for fraud and voter disenfranchisement.”
According to the Washington Examiner, in 2020, 28 states changed their voting rules to boost mail-in ballots. In fact, for the first time in history, more people voted early by mail or in person than filled out a ballot at the polls on election day.
If the Democrat Machine is determined enough to whip up specious and convoluted lawfare suits against President Trump to keep him from office again, don’t think for a moment that they’re going to keep their hands off the voting process. Keep a sharp eye. Democrat voting shenanigans have already begun again in Michigan.
