Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson shared on Monday the outcomes of investigations into three women who allegedly attempted to forge signatures on absentee ballots or ballot applications.
“These cases highlight the scrutiny applications and ballots undergo throughout the election process, as well as the thorough investigative process that ensues when instances of attempted fraud are suspected,” Nessel said.
Only one was caught after the election, which resulted in one double vote, while the others were caught before being counted or issued, Nessel's team said.
“Our election system is secure, and today’s charges demonstrate that in the rare circumstances when fraud occurs we catch it and hold the perpetrators accountable,” Benson said. “These charges also send a clear message to those who promote deceitful claims about widespread fraud : the current protocols we have in place work to protect and ensure the integrity of our elections.”
Trenae Myesha Rainey, a nursing home employee, allegedly forged the signatures of about two-dozen facility residents on absentee ballot applications in October 2020. A clerk noticed that the signatures on the ballots did not match the records and alerted investigators who found that all the signatures came from residents who had not yet notified staff if they wanted to vote in the election.
Rainey is charged with three counts of election law forgery and three counts of forging a signature on absentee ballot applications.
Carless Clark was charged with impersonating her grandson to vote in an election. Her grandson decided to vote in person, but she allegedly forged his signature on an absentee ballot and submitted it because she was afraid he wouldn’t have time to go himself. Investigators became aware of the situation in August.
Nancy Juanita Williams “developed and implemented a plan to obtain and control absentee ballots for legally incapacitated persons under her care by fraudulently submitting 26 absentee ballot applications to nine identified city and township clerks,” according to the attorney general’s statement. The clerks became suspicious in October 2020 when they received multiple applications signed with an X and requested ballots to be sent to Williams’ business address.
She is facing 16 counts of submitting a false statement on an absentee ballot application, 16 counts of forging signatures on absentee ballot applications, and 16 counts of election law forgery in five different courts.
Nessel's office also provided an update on other election-related cases, including to note that Paul Parana, a 47-year-old man from Canton Township, pleaded guilty to a 90-day misdemeanor election law violation after filling out and submitting an absentee ballot for his daughter. He was sentenced to 90 days probation and ordered to pay court costs and fees of roughly $1,100 by a judge in Wayne County Circuit Court, according to the attorney general's team .
Pay no attention to the vote-rigging in Wayne County, Kent County or the counties controlled by the Traverse City vote fraud mothership [Antrim is one of those counties].
How can small time free lance vote fraudsters hope to succeed? Don’t they know that if they are not a part of The Big Steal they will be the scape goats?
The huge Democrat county of Muskegon [large African American contingent] was washing its hair on "election day", and forgot to vote for the Dems' favorite son Joek.
Meanwhile, Justin Amash's and Pete Meijer's Pubbies were rigging Kent and Ottawa Counties to screw Trump.
Dana “Nazi” Nessel is a REAL front hole.
Total kabuki theater.
The historical election system of FRAUD in Daytwah and Wayne County soldiers on....
They 86ed Trump votes in DeToilette - but the Michigan Pubbies were in on it, too.
These charges are an insult to those patriots wanting to see justice served to the real culprits in this election heist.
The FIB concocted threated “Gretch the Wretch” and her AG & SoS are at the nexus of continued voting fraud enablement in Mich. .
Nessel does this for appearances sake, as though this is the great extent of the election fraud on her watch and that of SoS Jocelyn Benson’s, not to mention Big Gretch herself. What we have here is the wrong kind of girl power. It’s everywhere, and it’s as though it’s okay to leave things out of place and worse than they found them because their pride and self-esteem is more important. Well, that’s just too bad, ain’t it?!...I mean, this bullshit has got to stop. There’s the right kind of girl power and the wrong kind of girl power. The wrong kind of girl power comes with being smart in a bad way, while the right kind of girl power can afford to be honest. The right kind of girl power comes with being smart in a good way...Or is it all the same girl power? Nah, I don’t think so.
“Girl power” is a fraud and just another flavor of affirmative action/ everyone gets a trophyism.
I say that as a STB 61 yr old naturalized citizen that happens to be a woman.
Throwing some small fish to the wolves. kabuki theater
The first meals are always small fish. Keep on pushing.
Investigate Clinton v 0…
And Clinton v Bernie !
Act like that was all the fraud. Arrest a few low level people and case solved. No need for a audit.
Communist
What do all these arrests have in common?
Make voter fraud a capital offense. Fear seems to be a good motivator.
Wonder how many thousands of forge signatures the democrats paid for and how much people don’t work for free.
If not stopped rigging is the new election system the Marxists have everything riding on the next two elections.
