2020 Election Audit for Michigan? Why not?

[XLFD]

The general election for 2020 was an anomaly among elections held in this country.  'Final' election results tumbled in from over forty states on election night showing the usual victories for the two parties in many of their traditional states.  Many went to bed thinking that President Trump would remain president, as he secured surprisingly easy victories in 'battleground' states like Florida and Ohio, had nearly a million vote lead in Pennsylvania, and smaller leads in other states like Michigan that for some reason had issues with counting their votes, unlike much larger states.

Over the course of the following weeks, a half dozen states kept counting votes where it was unclear where these yet uncounted votes were materializing from.  Some Secretaries of State had changed the rules for voting, a power constitutionally given to state legislators, creating part of the problem. Drop boxes placed and collected by private corporations presented another hit on the integrity of the vote.  Voting machines were called into question when they flipped a traditionally red Antrim County strongly into Joe Biden's corner and were themselves audited later. 

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has famously made the claim that 2020 was the most secure election in history, which is a total lie when one considers just how easy it would be to commit election fraud with the universal mail-in ballots she sent out on her own initiative with stimulus money, the lack of any chain of custody with the drop boxes, and the easiness of ballot harvesting in 2020, all helped by the Covid-19 protocols put in place that even disallowed election inspectors from doing their job in a meaningful way. 

Benson has challenged or ran away from any meaningful forensic audits of the election, is this how somebody acts when they boast that their election was the most secure in history?  Nope, she knows better, which is why fair people on both sides of the aisle should be clamoring for answers and a process that can fairly ascertain the facts in Michigan, much like what they are currently doing out in Arizona.

Last week, the lawyer who has prosecuted the Antrim election case for former Ludington resident Bill Bailey, Matt Deperno made the following statements on Twitter:  

"The Antrim County election management system (EMS) was REMOTELY and successfully logged into anonymously on 11/05/2020 at 5:55 PM and again on 11/17/2020 at 5:16 PM. Those dates are significant because they correspond directly to the dates the county and SOS were trying to correct the intentional computer problems that subverted the election. These logons appear to have escalated privileges at the time of REMOTE logon, but we were told there was no internet connection. In an accredited system, an anonymous user should not be authorized by the accreditation authority, but would instead be required to enter a specific user name and password to utilize the system.

Remote access to a voting machine's EMS by an anonymous user indicates a potentially troubling problem with the equipment, but the eminent lawyer's statements, conducted after a court-ordered forensic audit of the Dominion voting machines actually used in the county was made, should have garnered some attention from national and local outlets.  Yet beyond a few conservative outlets the only recognition it has gained is from Twitter who took his tweets down shortly thereafter. 

There has been no attempt by other outlets to refute or verify the plausible claims.  It continues a trend over the last year by social media and media in general to suppress truths rather than engage in spurious fact-checking attempts.  This last Thursday, a large group made a well-advertised delivery to SOS Benson requesting a forensic audit of the 2020 election.  The traditional news agencies that covered it elected to ridicule it whether it was in the headlines (Trump's False Claims are Whipping Up Republicans) or in the body of the coverage.  

100% Fed Up, an alternative media sympathetic to the cause, also attended this event, and gives a good account of what happened.  Hundreds of folks traveled from across the state of Michigan to help deliver about 7,500 affidavits signed by Michigan residents demanding a forensic audit of the November 2020 election to Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.  Protocols being followed in the forensic audit currently taking place in Arizona will likely be mirrored if petitioners have their way.

Lana Kristal and other advocates of election integrity helped carry and wheel boxes of affidavits to the front steps of the Capitol building.  Michigan’s first black female Secretary of State candidate Kristina Karamo (R) delivered boxes of thousands of affidavits to Michigan’s Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.

Despite SOS Jocelyn Benson pushing election processes that suggest requiring photo identification is racist, discriminatory, and suppressive, a sign on the front of the building where her office is maintained reads “ID Required To Enter Building.” Next to the sign on the SOS’s office was another sign that read “Valid Photo ID Is Required For Access.”

“Does this mean the Sec of State Benson is a racist?” Kristina Karamo asked, reminding everyone gathered that they’re being “gaslighted” by the Democrats who use race as a tool to make cheating in elections easier.

The security guard working the front door of the SOS Office refused to allow Karamo and company entrance into the building with the affidavits, even though the security guard appeared to be expecting this visit, not surprisingly because it was well advertised. Karamo explained that they were there to deliver the affidavits to Secretary Benson.

The security guard left apparently to check with someone.  On his return, he informed the assemblage that he didn’t believe anyone would sign the form Karamo brought to prove the boxes had been received. Eventually, the security announced that Benson’s office would only agree to rubber-stamp the form, as they refused to sign the receipt of delivery.

                     Kristina Karama shows the receipt for the thousands of affidavits with a rubber stamp on the upper right corner.  

Local community activist Logik Roberts, currently spearheading an effort to achieve accountability in the Mason County Courts bonding process after a violent career felon was given a lax bond (which led to a murder and multiple other felonies being committed), is pictured with Karamo below as part of that effort to assure accountability in the electoral process.  Roberts took a day off of being in front of the Mason County Courthouse to travel to front lawn of the Lansing Capitol.

The electors of Michigan deserve answers as to how secure the 2020 election was, and deserve to have the top election official be fully accountable in her claim of having the securest election ever, when all of the irregularities, mistakes, and security breeches point elsewhere.  A meaningful audit is well overdue and should be welcomed by SOS Jocelyn Benson-- unless she has something to hide.

Well done X. I think the major question here is "WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS"? Why haven't they solved this problem yet. Are they investigating voter fraud? What solutions or remedies have they come up with? I heard someone on the radio the other day commenting about legislatures, "most Republicans are Democrats but there are no Democrats that are Republicans". That explains why the Republican party is so worthless. The following chart shows what party has controlled Michigan's Government in past years. After looking at the chart it is clear that Republicans have been an anchor around our necks. Promising to fix problems but in reality they have been snoozing in the back room waiting on the next election. The Republicans could have solved our road problems by now or stopped the insane Marxist propaganda being taught in our schools. They could have put an end to Whitmer's dictatorial hold on Michigan's businesses and citizens or rid our state of voter fraud and many other necessary reforms which are desperately needed. As far as I'm concerned the back stabbing Republicans are far worse than the Marxist Democrats because they allow evil to thrive only so they can retain their political influence.

History of Michigan's control for each year. A trifecta is one party holding the Governorship, House and Senate at the same time.

Thanks Willy.  Michigan's fortunes seem to be marginally better when the governorship is in Republican hands, but the difference between parties at the state level really hasn't been all that different.  One can hope that a more strident Republican Party steeped in the principles that helped them defeat slavery in the 1860s can rise once again to defeat the rising power of socialism that have engrained themselves deep in the Democrat Party and have been unchecked by 'establishment' Republicans who are fine with growing the power of government, even when their campaigns say otherwise..

It would be nice if the Republicans had the peoples welfare in mind when they are in control but after 30 years of holding the reins of power most of the time we are now at a tipping point where Marxist poison is being promoted over freedom I can only say the Republicans have been miserable failures. I switched the colors on the chart to show how even more dominant the Democrats would have been if they had the power that the Republicans wielded over the last 3 decades. If the mindset of the Republicans doesn't change, I'm afraid American liberty will only be a memory lost to the past.

Republican controlled

 Democrat controlled

Is there any doubt how much more trouble we would be in if the Democrats had been dominant the last 30 years?
