I sure hope the answer is "no".
There's a lot of things that need to change. One specifically? Police brutality.

Police find voting equipment missing from Adams Township
The office of Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said that state police recovered missing voting equipment Friday from the township hall. An investigation is underway to determine if the equipment has been tampered with, officials said.

:snippity:

How... convenient. Check the security footage starting from the day they noticed the equipment was missing. Bet ya it didn't just get misplaced.

And look who else...
It's a five-year felony for a person to obtain undue possession of a voting machine used in an election. It's also a five-year felony to conspire with another person to commit an offense that is prohibited by law.

DePerno, Rendon and lawyer Stefanie Lambert "orchestrated a coordinated plan to gain access to voting tabulators" used in Roscommon County, Barry County and Missaukee County, according to the petition.

Five tabulators were taken from those counties to hotels or Airbnb rental properties in Oakland County. There, four individuals — Ben Cotton, Jeff Lenberg, Douglas Logan and James Penrose — "broke into the tabulators and performed 'tests' on the equipment," the petition says.

"It was determined during the investigation that DePerno was present at a hotel room during such 'testing,'" the petition says.

Cotton, Lenberg, Logan and Penrose have all been involved in efforts to question the 2020 election, which Trump lost to Democrat Joe Biden. Cotton, Lenberg and Penrose have been cited as experts by DePerno previously in a lawsuit he's led against the election in Antrim County.

Logan, the founder of Cyber Ninjas, was involved in the audit of results in Arizona's Maricopa County.
Patrick Colbeck must be feeling so left out.

Authorities in Michigan are investigating how a missing voting machine from the state wound up for sale on eBay last month for $1,200.

The machine was purchased by a cybersecurity expert in Connecticut who alerted Michigan authorities and is now waiting for law enforcement to pick up the device. CNN determined the machine was dropped off at a Goodwill store in Northern Michigan, before being sold last month on eBay by a man in Ohio.

In an interview with CNN, the Ohio man said he purchased the machine online at Goodwill for $7.99 before auctioning it on eBay for $1,200.

Election machines are part of the United States' critical infrastructure and are supposed to be kept under lock and key. It's an issue that has become increasingly important in recent years as people have sought to gain unauthorized access to election systems in a futile attempt to prove the false notion that the 2020 election was stolen.

The Gateway House of Boys is ANGRY!

Michigan House Speaker Sneers at Election Integrity Legislators, Refuses 2022 Voter Fraud Investigation
By Jim Hoft
Published November 22, 2022 at 12:25pm

The RINO Michigan establishment was decimated in this month’s elections. Instead of agreeing with America First patriots that voter fraud might be real, they would rather believe that voters rejected their own leadership and record. Despite spending millions of lobbyist dollars, the RINOs in control lost seats in both legislative chambers and lost control of all statewide offices and legislative chambers for the first time in nearly 40 years. Despite catering for years to Democrats, now Democrats gleefully gloat as they take power from Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey and House Speaker Jason Wentworth.

For the first time since 1984, Democrats have unified control of all three elected bodies in Michigan: the Governor, State Senate and State House. The RINOs have spent weeks trying to blame this all on Trump and America First. But the massive election defeat nationwide happened because RINOs have been selling out their political base and citizens for years. [NOTE: Actually, it was because a citizen's commission redrew Michigan's election districts FAIRLY for the first time in years]

Michigan Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey is heavily invested in China, and unsurprisingly he and others in legislative leadership have strongly opposed any investigation into the well-documented 2020 voter fraud, and are now refusing to look into 2022’s voter fraud. The Michigan House previously subpoenaed documents and evidence in December 2020 from the House Oversight Committee, and then refused to release the evidence it collected and has prevented lawmakers from even reviewing the evidence. Now that the Democrats have taken control, this evidence held by the House’s outside legal counsel Warner Norcross, is likely to be destroyed by the incoming Democrats.

Against this backdrop America First legislator Rep. Steve Carra has asked for an investigation and use of legislative subpoenas to investigate the potential 2022 voter fraud in the few remaining weeks of Republican control. The response to Rep. Carra’s letter was sneering condescension by the RINO leadership. The dishonest local media typified by left-wing reporter Craig Mauger, wrote about this story while notably leaving out the actual text of the sneering letter sent by Wentworth to Carra. Rep. Carra told the Gateway Pundit: “I sent Speaker Wentworth a letter, and responded to him as he requested. The next thing I know this shows up in the Detroit News. I wish he was taking this situation more seriously.”

Here’s the letter sent by America First patriot Rep. Steve Carra to Speaker Jason Wentworth asking for an investigation into allegations of voter fraud in the 2022 election.

And here below is the full letter sent in response from Speaker Jason Wentworth to Rep. Steve Carra.




Here's the story from the Detroit News: https://archive.ph/2022.11.21-213716/ht ... 668217007/

Me, not Jim Hoft: Here is the absolutely beautiful reply by the GOP Speaker: :lol:

Representative Carra,
I have received your November 17 letter regarding subpoena powers. I’ve received several questions from members and I have a few myself. So, I am taking you up on your offer to ask some questions about it.
First, you say that of the six members who signed your letter, some think the election results are accurate while others don’t. Who of the six believes the results were accurate?
Second, I understand your request to be about the 2022 election. Please explain why, in that context, your recitation of events from 2018 and 2020, your complaints about Proposal 2’s messaging, and non-2022 lawsuits against Secretary Benson are relevant.
Third, you ask us to “investigate why the majority of Americans” question election results. That sentence makes it sound like you want us to investigate why the “majority of Americans” believe the way they do. I’m afraid we can’t do that. The Legislature cannot be in the business of authorizing pop psychology opinion surveys. Perhaps you are really saying, though, that if over half of Americans distrust a process, that gives us the right to launch an investigation to see if their distrust is justified. Is that really the standard you want? Suppose over half of Michiganders surveyed said they distrusted your motives in sending your November 17 letter—that is, they believed this is a shameless and half-baked political stunt performed on state time and solely calculated to inflame an already troubled section of our party. Do you think that would justify the Legislature subpoenaing you? Don’t you think it’s bad practice to justify legislative subpoenas based on opinion surveys?
Fourth, and relatedly, as you well know, legislative subpoenas must have a valid legislative purpose. That is, they must be used to get information to help us achieve some legislative goal. Investigating and auditing election results has traditionally been a chiefly executive- and judicial-branch function. Can you please explain how this would even be a valid legislative subpoena?
Fifth, as far as I know, in nearly 200 years of Michigan history, the Legislature has never set up such a commission or used its subpoena powers in this way. It would be exceptionally naïve for us to pretend that previous legislators didn’t question election results (especially in the 1800s, where political cheating was much easier and more common). But I can’t see any evidence that any previous speaker or legislature felt it was in their power to launch a wholesale elections investigation. What Michigan precedent can you point to in support of your request?
Sixth, you say this isn’t an attempt to “reverse election results.” This is confusing. It sounds like you’re conceding up front that this investigation would be an empty exercise—that it wouldn’t have any practical effect no matter what is found. Is this concession because you believe there wasn’t enough fraud to make a difference? Or are you truly willing to uncover massive fraud and then do nothing about it?
Seventh, and most importantly, the law says we can’t use subpoenas to conduct a general fishing expedition. They need to be targeted. Given that, what are the details of every 2022 election-fraud incident you and these members are aware of? Details must include at the very least the alleged location, persons involved, time of day, and specific actions taken. If possible, please provide these details in signed and notarized affidavits—it will be difficult to take them seriously otherwise.
Please provide full and complete answers to these questions no later than Sunday, November 20.
Thank you,
Speaker Wentworth
:thumbsup: :lol:

Too also, idiot grifter Matt DePerno was defeated along with another unqualified election denying troll. Things are looking up in Michigan.

So let's see about the America First Republicans ... they are Nationalists, of course, who are okay with socialist programs as long as the right people benefit from them, but otherwise can't stand them. So they are racist National Socialists. Hrm. I am sure there's a single, concise word that can describe these people and would be best used to name their true party.
But the sunshine aye shall light the sky,
As round and round we run;
And the truth shall ever come uppermost,
And justice shall be done.

Matt DePerno lost again. To another loser, the even more extreme election denier Kristina Karamo. Michigan is a lock for Democrats in 2024. Thanks, kids. :lol: This article is hilarious and tragic, the MAGAts have learned nothing and keep doubling down on stupid which will lose. There was some talk of a regiment of dachshunds in the back of the auditorium, but calls to the 699th were met with silence.

Far-right election denier beats Trump’s pick for Michigan GOP
Kristina Karamo, who refused to concede her run for secretary of state, beat Donald Trump’s choice for state chair in a chaotic convention
By Isaac Arnsdorf February 18, 2023 at 10:45 p.m. EST

LANSING, Mich. — Republicans here, reeling from a midterm election rout that many blamed on the influence of former president Donald Trump, responded Saturday by spurning the former president’s choice for state party chair — and choosing someone even more extreme. Kristina Karamo, who refused to concede her 14-point loss for secretary of state in 2022, beat former attorney general candidate Matt DePerno, who had Trump’s endorsement, in three rounds of contentious voting. The chaotic 11-hour convention, featuring a rowdy standoff over voting procedures and 10 candidates who all ran under a pro-Trump banner, left no doubt that the bulk of the party’s activists in this key battleground state remain firmly committed to election denial and showed no interest in moderating their message to appeal to the political center. “Conceding to a fraudulent person is agreeing with the fraud, which I will not do,” Karamo said to cheers in her campaign speech on Saturday.

The outcome also dealt a tactical defeat to Trump, even though all the candidates competed for aligning themselves with him. Many delegates said they discounted or even resented Trump’s involvement in the race, especially after a midterm cycle that saw widespread wrangling over his down-ballot endorsements in the state. “We love Donald Trump, but he don’t live here,” said Mark Forton, another candidate for chair who endorsed Karamo. In a Thursday speech to a right-wing “patriot” group in nearby Charlotte, Karamo argued that Christianity belonged at the core of American politics, called evolution “one of the biggest frauds ever perpetuated on society,” and asserted the existence of demons. “When we start talking about the spiritual reality of the demonic forces, it’s like, ‘Oh, my God, this is crazy, we can’t go there,’” Karamo said. “No. It’s like, did you read the Bible? Didn’t Jesus perform exorcisms? … Scriptures are clear. And so if we’re not operating as though the spirit realities of the world exist, we’re going to fail every time.”

In 2022, Democrats swept statewide races in Michigan and won control of both legislative chambers, achieving full statewide control for the first time since the 1980s. In 2024, the state is poised to host early primary contests and be a competitive presidential and Senate battleground. “Do I think it destroyed the state party? For sure,” Christine Barnes, an unsuccessful state House candidate who skipped this year’s convention, said of Trump’s interventions. “And the party is a hot mess right now.” The outcome here Saturday underscores the stark reality confronting Republicans across the country: Months after general election voters across the country rejected extreme, election-denying candidates such as Karamo, DePerno and former Arizona gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake, many party activists remain enthralled by them. Some Republicans have voiced concern that this trend could set the party back at the ballot box in future races. Lake, who has yet to concede defeat in Arizona and has waged an unsuccessful legal fight to challenge the results of her 2022 race, has been traveling the country promoting false election claims, as she weighs a run for U.S. Senate in 2024. And Trump, in his third run for president, continues to promote false claims about the 2020 election.

Trump held a tele-rally for DePerno on Monday, calling him a “defender of election integrity.” DePerno rose to prominence as a lawyer chasing conspiracy theories in Michigan’s 2020 election; a Republican state Senate report faulted him for spreading misinformation, and he came under state investigation for allegedly tampering with voting machines. But some delegates said they grew to doubt DePerno because, unlike Karamo, he conceded his loss in November. “Matt ran out on us; he didn’t fight for us,” said Mark DeYoung, a delegate from Harrison, Mich., and chairman of the Clare County GOP. :lol:

Karamo led from the first ballot, increasing her lead with every round but needing three ballots to secure a majority. She won with 58 percent of the vote to DePerno’s 42 percent. DePerno attempted to edge her out by winning support from runners-up. His campaign had prepared fliers announcing the endorsement of JD Glaser, who received 12 percent of the vote in the first round. Glaser said DePerno secured his support by offering to make him policy director. Between the second and third ballots, DePerno attempted to make another deal with the third runner-up, veteran GOP consultant Scott Greenlee, according to people familiar with the exchange who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive issues. But Greenlee walked away from the offer and opted not to endorse either finalist. Unlike at recent party elections in Arizona and the Republican National Committee, no consensus candidate emerged who could unite the party’s fractious coalition. Greenlee came closest, as an experienced operative with donor connections and pro-Trump bona fides stretching back to 2016. He also secured the endorsement of musician Ted Nugent and Ryan Kelley, a former gubernatorial candidate who has been charged in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.

But Karamo, who turned to her bid for state chair quickly after her November loss, proved to have the strongest base of support and broadest appeal. Her campaign was vague and varied on specifics for what she would do as chair, saying in her speech on Thursday that her first priority would be to “get my hands around the operation.” She made faith central to her appeal, beginning her remarks that night by saying, “My goal number one as a Christian is to bring people to Christ, and secondarily to save our country.” Many delegates interviewed named Karamo’s faith as one of their primary attractions to her. Her nomination was seconded by Petoskey attorney Dan Hartman, who said, “It’s not about election integrity … I want you to understand that I changed my life and decided to serve Christ.” Several other candidates prominently invoked Christianity in their campaigns. One delegate who took exception was Marla Braun, from Jackson County, who said she was “disgusted with wrapping Christianity around Republicanism” and abstained rather than vote for either Karamo or DePerno in the last round. “The party has to know that what we put forward here is not acceptable,” Braun said.

The first several hours of the convention were taken up by an extended dispute over the how the votes would be counted, underscoring the mistrust among many delegates for both the previous party leadership and of election outcomes. “How many of us got in this fight because of flash drives and laptops?” one delegate said to cheers, arguing against using electronic equipment to record votes at the convention. With hand counts taking sometimes more than an hour for each round of voting, the convention lasted four hours longer than planned, wrapping up just before the venue was due to kick the Republicans out. Despite his backing by the biggest name in Republican politics, DePerno ran a sluggish campaign, often seen wandering the convention hall alone. One delegate waiting to vote criticized him for using his allotted time to present a video endorsement from Trump rather than making his own speech. DePerno also had the endorsement of Mike Lindell, the election conspiracy theorist and MyPillow CEO, and Lake. DePerno had touted Lake as a special guest at a pre-election party on Friday at a Lansing bar called The Nuthouse, :lol: but Lake did not appear (her aides cited a scheduling conflict). DePerno declined to comment.

Several members of Trump’s presidential campaign team were present to observe. The campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The state was crucial to Trump’s surprise election victory in 2016, but he lost Michigan to President Biden in 2020. “People love to talk about President Trump in a loss mode, but he’s a king. He’s our king,” outgoing GOP co-chair Meshawn Maddock, who was supporting DePerno, said in an interview. “I’m so tired of hearing that our party has moved too far to the right. The problem is we haven’t moved far enough.”

In case you're wondering about the Nuthouse, it's right across the street from the stadium for the Lansing Lugnuts, a single-A farm team for the Toronto Blue Jays. The bar is right below the decommissioned stackhouse for our* Cedar Street water pumping station (once steam-powered, now electric pumps). We added a structure to the stackhouse to make it look like a lugnut. I've had several business lunches at the Nuthouse (again, it's right next to our main water treatment plant) - it's actually pretty good food. It does earn its name on gamedays, though!

Congratulated Matt on his criminal charges. Matt lost the MI AG race, lost the race to head the MI GOP, and now he's Indicated. WTG Matt!

Luke Johnson 🇺🇸 @Orly_licious 55m
Congratulations #MattDePerno on your Indictments! 🥳 After raising $700K & accomplishing nothing, you're facing 4 criminal charges, including undue possession of a voting machine & willfully damaging a voting machine, which are felonies under Michigan law.




I'm heartbroken, Patrick Colbeck blocked me on Twitter. And here I thought we were pals. IDK when he did it but maybe it was when I congratulated him on his criminal charges as well. Talk about ungrateful!
