Michigan GOP investigation finds no evidence of widespread fraud in 2020 election
The Senate committee, led by Republicans, debunked claims that deceased people or non-residents voted in the election, voting tabulators were compromised, ballots were harvested, ballots were "dumped" at the TCF Center in Detroit, and votes for Trump in Antrim County were switched.

"There is no evidence presented at this time to prove either significant acts of fraud or that an organized, wide-scale effort to commit fraudulent activity was perpetrated in order to subvert the will of Michigan voters," the Michigan Senate Oversight Committee said in a  report  released Wednesday.

The report's findings refute allegations that Trump and his supporters promoted about the 2020 election process in Michigan as they sought to overturn Joe Biden's victory.


The Senate committee, led by Republicans, debunked claims that deceased people or non-residents voted in the election, voting tabulators were compromised, ballots were harvested, ballots were "dumped" at the TCF Center in Detroit, and votes for Trump in Antrim County were switched.


According to the report, there were two cases in Wayne County where an individual appeared to have voted but was deceased. One was a clerical error in which a 118-year-old man shared an identical name with his son. The other was a 92-year-old woman who died days before the election.


Claims that people who were no longer Michigan residents but voted in the state elections also proved to be false, the committee said.


The committee said that there was no evidence that thousands of absentee voter ballots were mailed out without having been requested, adding that people who made these claims were equating absentee ballot applications with actual absentee ballots


The committee also focused some of its most intense scrutiny on the false claims made that ballots were manipulated in Antrim County through Dominion Voting Systems. The report stated that the data "clearly and concisely shows that ideas and speculation that the Antrim County election workers or outside entities manipulated the vote by hand or electronically are indefensible."


Report recommendations


"Our clear finding is that citizens should be confident the results represent the true results of the ballots cast by the people of Michigan," the committee said in its report. "The Committee strongly recommends citizens use a critical eye and ear toward those who have pushed demonstrably false theories for their own personal gain."

The national GOP is going to take their (Michigan senate committee members) secret decoder rings away for that statement as it goes against the party line....  The "big lie" must be adhered to!

It will be interesting to see the Republican Party, Trump et al try to spin this.

Interesting? Yes!

And there's no doubt in my mind that they will do .

My guess is that first Trump will invent some very childish derogatory name for them...and keep calling then that. Probably next will come some bouts of "Whaddaboudism". Then, next...yet another totally un-related attempt to deflect. (Their current fav: bringing up the horrible dangers posed to all Americans by...CRL! ("Critical Race Theory"!!!)
