A particular visitor put up by former MI Senator Patrick Colbeck and creator of “The 2020 Coup: What Happened. What We Can Do”
The official narrative promoted by Michigan election officers has lengthy been that Joe Biden defeated President Donald J. Trump within the 2020 Common election in Michigan by 154,188 votes, thereby awarding Michigan’s 16 electoral school votes to Joe Biden. On the idea of this narrative, on July 18, 2023, Michigan Legal professional Common Dana Nessel indicted each of the alternate 16 Republican electors with eight felony counts, together with forgery and conspiracy fees. These fees hinge upon the assertion that the 2020 election was lawfully licensed. Was it?
Wayne County, MI, is the most important county by inhabitants within the State of Michigan. In response to the official Wayne County election information for the 2020 Common Election, 597,170 votes had been forged for Joe Biden and 264,553 for President Trump for a vote margin of 332,617 in favor of Biden. If these votes weren’t lawfully licensed, the statewide vote margin would flip to disclose a 178,429 margin of victory for President Trump in Michigan. That implies that because of the discrepancy, President Trump, not Joe Biden, could be the rightful proprietor of Michigan’s 16 electoral school votes for the 2020 election.
The query is, “Are there compelling authorized grounds to say that the 2020 election ends in Wayne County, MI, weren’t lawfully licensed?”
Proceed studying this put up to search out out what proof helps this assertion.
In Michigan, county election outcomes are licensed by the county board of canvassers. The powers and duties of county boards of canvassers are outlined in MCL 168.24a. The act of canvassing is equal to conducting an audit or “thorough examination” of election information. Every county in Michigan has 4 appointees to the County Board of Canvassers – two Republicans and two Democrats. Per MCL 168.24e, a minimal of three canvassers should agree earlier than any motion of that board “turns into efficient,” together with certification.
To raised perceive how one might logically assert that the 2020 common election in Wayne County was not lawfully licensed, let’s evaluate the certification paperwork for the 2016, 2018, and 2020 common elections in Wayne County as obtained by the Michigan Grassroots Alliance by way of Freedom of Data Act (FOIA) requests.
The 2016 Common Election was clearly licensed by all 4 county canvassers.
Solely three canvassers signed the 2018 common election certification paperwork. Per MCL 168.24e, this can be a ample variety of canvassers supporting certification, so the decree has full impact.
In distinction with the 2016 and 2018 certifications in Wayne County, the certification paperwork for the 2020 election was solely signed by two of the county canvassers. Per MCL 168.24e, that is reportedly NOT a ample variety of canvassers to certify the election. In different phrases, the 2020 common election ends in Wayne County weren’t lawfully licensed. It is a assertion of reality, not conjecture.
Technically, just one Republican and one Democrat must signal the doc to make it authorized, however within the case of the 2020 election, solely two Democrats have signed the official 2020 Common Election Certificates.
Anybody making an attempt to say that the failure to lawfully certify the 2020 common election ends in Wayne County was merely a “clerical error” could be incorrect. The report of the occasions main as much as the certification vote on November 17, 2020, in addition to the assembly minutes for the November 17, 2020, Wayne County Board of Canvassers assembly, clearly signifies that the 2 Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers, Monica Palmer and William Hartman (now deceased), had vital reservations as to the integrity of the election information introduced to them for certification. There have been vital anomalies for which no passable rationalization had been offered to them by election officers. There was clearly an expectation by these officers that Palmer and Hartman would merely “look the opposite method” and “rubber stamp” the certification no matter these anomalies. They didn’t accomplish that.
Detailed accounts of those anomalies and the November 17, 2020 timeline might be present in my ebook The 2020 Coup: What Happened. What We Can Do. I’m sharing a abstract of this info.
Wayne County Election Anomalies
There have been quite a few anomalies that carry the certification of the 2020 election ends in Wayne County into query. Included amongst these anomalies are the next:
- There was a 3:30 am poll drop on the Absentee Vote Counting Board (AVCB) heart on the TCF Heart in Detroit with none chain of custody.
- Brazen ballot ebook updates in the future earlier than Wayne County Board of Canvassers vote on certification, 13 days after the election, and 6 days after Michigan statute (MCL 168.813) requires the listing of voters to be uploaded to the statewide Certified Voter File.
- An astounding 71% of AVCBs in Detroit had been unbalanced and, per statute, not topic to recount.
November 17, 2020, Wayne County Board of Canvassers Assembly
The November 17, 2020, Wayne County Board of Canvassers Assembly was a marathon session that exposed at the least three vital points with the certification of the election outcomes along with signed certification paperwork. The official board minutes from this assembly might be seen beneath.
Difficulty #1: Certification Vote Did Not Move
I used to be personally current on the November 17, 2020. Whereas there, I witnessed the canvasser vote on certification. Monica Palmer and William Hartman voted No. Allen Wilson and Jonathan Kinloch voted Sure. Since three Sure votes are required to certify an election, the movement to certify the election failed. The minutes clearly doc this vote relating to certification.
Underneath MCL 168.822, the failure of the county board of canvassers to certify the election ought to have resulted in a switch of all county election information to the state for them to canvass the county outcomes. That didn’t occur. As a substitute, what adopted was a public remark interval that includes disgraceful, intimidating racist accusations towards Palmer and Hartman.
Watch Democrat State Consultant Abrahim Aiyash and Wayne State College Vice President Ned Stabler threaten Monica Palmer and her “kids” in the course of the public remark portion of the Zoom name.
Shortly after their risk, Monica obtained a loss of life risk geared toward her teenage daughter.
Difficulty #2: Conditional Vote
Subsequent to the employment of the intimidation techniques on show throughout public remark that included the doxing of the daughter of Monica Palmer by Aiyash, each Palmer and Hartman issued conditional sure votes on certification offered {that a} complete audit of the unexplained precincts in Wayne County could be carried out. Such an audit by no means occurred.
Along with the situations related to the vote by no means having been glad, there by no means was a movement to rethink the primary vote. Underneath customary public assembly guidelines, the primary vote has standing, not the second vote, with out a movement to rethink the primary vote being handed.
Difficulty #3: Reassertion of No Vote
Lastly, within the wake of public statements made by the Michigan Secretary of State by which she asserted she wouldn’t be complying with the situations stipulated within the second vote, Chair Monica Palmer launched the next affidavit indicating a reaffirmation of her No vote on certification.
The opposite Republican member of the Board of Canvassers, William Hartman, issued an analogous assertion reasserting his No vote on certification.
Whereas the dearth of the required certification signatures is all that’s wanted to say that Wayne County by no means lawfully licensed the 2020 election, it’s clear to see that there are further compelling causes to help the identical conclusion.
I do imagine that Democrat representatives of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers, Allen Wilson and Jonathan Kinloch, must be held accountable for signing a certifiably false assertion. Their signatures asserting that they had been presenting the right transcript of the election outcomes to the State Board of Canvassers are false assertions in mild of the failure to move the movement to certify the election.
The actions of the members of the State Board of Canvassers who licensed the 2020 common election additionally benefit authorized scrutiny. They had been negligent within the conduct of their duties to canvass the statewide election outcomes. Particularly, they had been notified previous to taking their vote to certify the statewide outcomes that the Wayne County outcomes weren’t lawfully licensed.
Despite this vital reality being dropped at their consideration, they voted to certify the statewide outcomes with none substantive investigation of this assertion. On this mild, Aaron Van Langevelde, Jeannette Bradshaw, and Julie Matuzak are additionally responsible of creating false statements underneath oath.
The statewide outcomes of the 2020 common election hinge upon the lawful certification of Wayne County’s election outcomes. The outcomes of the election in Wayne County had been allegedly NOT lawfully licensed. Any one of many following causes could be ample to justify this assertion by itself, however notably, there are a minimum of 4 substantive causes.
- The official certification paperwork for the Wayne County Board of Canvassers solely reveals 2, not the required 3 signatures.
- The preliminary vote was 2-2. 3 votes are wanted to certify election outcomes.
- The conditional vote was 4-0, however there was no movement to rethink the preliminary vote, and the situations related to the vote had been rejected by Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.
- Upon rejection of situations, each Palmer and Hartman reasserted their no votes by way of affidavits.
The failure to lawfully certify the election ends in Wayne County in the course of the 2020 election modifications the reported consequence of the election in Michigan. Consequently, President Donald J. Trump is the lawful winner of Michigan’s 16 electoral votes for the 2020 presidential election. The alternate slate of Republican electors is, due to this fact, completely justified past any cheap doubt. The costs issued by Michigan Legal professional Common Dana Nessel towards these electors ought to, due to this fact, be dismissed instantly.
Particular notice from Patty McMurray: I’ve spoken with Monica Palmer, who confirmed that she by no means signed the certification doc as a result of she and Invoice Hartman left the Wayne County Board of Canvassers assembly out of concern for his or her security. She was later informed a “rubber stamp” could be used to signal their names.
