Super big news from the Michigan GOP with this headline from
Business Insider and from many other national news sources:
“GOP-led Michigan committee found no
evidence of voter fraud in 2020 election, further discrediting Trump's false
claims”
· A GOP-led Michigan
Senate committee found “no evidence” of widespread fraud in the 2020 election.
· Trump had attempted
to overturn Michigan's election results.
· The investigation
comes as Trump continues to falsely claim the election was stolen from him.
NBC
News really rips Trump with their version of the same story with this
headline:
“Michigan Republicans eviscerate Trump
voter fraud claims in a scathing report”
The report blasts
“lies and outright deception.”
An investigation by the Republican-led Michigan Senate
Oversight Committee found no proof of widespread voter fraud in the state's
2020 election, rejecting Trump's false claims.
Their 35-page report released Wednesday (June 23) says in
part: “The Committee embarked upon hours of public testimony, the review of
countless documents, and presentations on the 2020 election, and a careful
review of the elections process itself. This Committee found no evidence of
widespread or systematic fraud in Michigan's prosecution of the 2020 election.”
GOP state Sen. Ed McBroom, who chairs the committee, wrote
in the report that he is “confident the election results in Michigan, which
President Joe Biden won
by nearly 3 percentage points, are accurate.”
Sen. McBroom then appeared to take a swipe at Trump, who repeatedly spread conspiracy theories that the election was fraught with voter fraud and rigged against him, writing in his report: “Sources must lose credibility when it is shown they promote falsehoods, even more when they never take accountability for those falsehoods. All compelling theories that sprang forth from the rumors surrounding Antrim County are diminished so significantly as for it to be a complete waste of time to consider them further.”
In Michigan, Trump and his allies filed at least half a
dozen lawsuits in an attempt to overturn the election results. They lost all of
them.
The Michigan Senate committee also recommended that Michiganders “use a critical eye and ear toward those who have pushed demonstrably false theories for their own personal gain.”
They also called on
the state AG to investigate those who promoted false claims.
The investigation comes nearly eight months after the 2020 race and as Trump continues to baselessly assert that the election was stolen from him.
Federal, state, and local officials have repeatedly concluded that
the election was fair and accurate.
The report also comes after a Michigan
judge last month tossed out a Trump-endorsed lawsuit seeking to audit
and recount votes in the state's Antrim County. Trump won the county, but has
claimed without evidence that he received more votes that were switched to
favor Biden.
That single case stems from a single case of human error on election night when the Antrim county unofficial election results initially showed Biden in the lead.
Then the County Clerk Sheryl Guy, a Republican, moved to rectify the issue and after multiple checks, the county went to Trump.
The county also audited the results in December, affirming Trump's win over Biden.
That apparently stirred the Trump conspiracy,
fraud, rigged election pot and it continues even today.
My 2 Cents: This report
should be the prototype for all GOP-run states that Trump still challenges.
After reading this case, my
conclusion held for a very long time is still my bottom line: There ain’t no
there, there, so drop the shenanigans, Mr. Trump – you lost, grow up, accept
the truth, admit it, and move on.
Thanks for stopping by.
