Michigan GOP Lawmakers Call For ‘Full Audit' Of Election Results Over ‘Serious Allegations' Of Error, Voter Fraud
2020-11-13
[DailyWire] Republican senators in the Michigan legislature are calling on Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to conduct a "full audit" of the 2020 general election before certifying the results of any race.

The letter, dated Friday, Nov. 13, was released on Thursday and signed by two Republican state senators, Tom Barrett and Lana Theis. The senators requested that Benson delay certifying election results over a spate of errors and allegations of voter fraud that have cast doubt on Michigan’s election process.

The letter first cited a 6,000-vote error in election results from Michigan’s Antrim County, noting that "Antrim is just one of 47 counties in Michigan that used the software system at issue, Dominion Voting Systems, to process their ballots."

The letter then points to a number of allegations that "election officials critically mishandled numerous ballots." The list of allegations includes such claims as officials counting ineligible ballots, illicitly backdating ballots to make them eligible, and duplicating ballots illegally.

"Third, there are allegations that unsecured ballots arrived at the TCF Center loading garage, outside of sealed ballot boxes, without any chain of custody, and without envelopes," the letter continues. The letter goes on to state that, according to the allegation, 40,000 ballots that were taken from "out-of-state" vehicles all went "for one candidate."

"Finally, there are allegations of illegal and official intimidation and interference with lawful election challengers and poll watchers, which is an essential aspect of election integrity," the letter says.

President Trump's campaign filed a federal lawsuit in Michigan on Tuesday to stop the secretary of state from certifying election results until allegations of "irregularities, incompetence and unlawful vote counting" can be investigated and all ballots confirmed.

#1  "Antrim is just one of 47 counties in Michigan that used the software system at issue, Dominion Voting Systems, to process their ballots."

47 of the 83 counties in MI is about 56%, so used in just over half.

I have also seen some reports that in Detroit the machines were connected to the internet for a period during counting which is a YUUUGE security no-no.

This is all so embarrassing. We knew Detroit was messed up, but the entire state?
