Michigan Voters Oust Republicans Who Backed Chinese-Owned Battery Plant in Their Town: ‘We Have a Voice Again’
Breitbart ^ | 11/08/2023 | John Binder

Voters in Mecosta County, Michigan, successfully ousted six local elected Republicans who supported taxpayer-funded subsidies for a Chinese company with deep ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to build an Electric Vehicle (EV) battery plant in their community.

On Tuesday night, voters in Green Charter Township and Big Rapids Township recalled a total of six local elected officials combined — all Republicans — who voted in favor of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s (D) plan to have CCP-linked Gotion Inc. build a $2.4 billion EV battery plant in the area.

Sure looks like it

“ recalled a total of six local elected officials combined — all Republicans — who voted in favor of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s (D) plan to have CCP-linked Gotion Inc. build a $2.4 billion EV battery plant in the area.”

They probably stuffed Chinese money in their pockets before voting

It’s good to see RINO’s ousted, especially those that likely had their hands in CCP money pits.

But it’s not clear who got elected in place of the RINO’s. If they were rats I don’t think a whole lot was gained other than installing true communists rather than RINO’s pretending to be conservative when they are just as commie as the rats.

Although on a smaller scale, still nice to hear good news like this.

Nobody was elected.

All seats on the board are now vacant. There will be a special election.

And this is the problem with most republiCAN’Ts in our state government...
They need us once every 2 years to vote for them... and then we are uneducated trash to them...
I was happy when we finally threw them out...
Looks like we got more of them to remove

I’m with you. The Rosetta Stone of why the Republicans flip the finger to us on everything from open borders, to forcing EVs, to forcing voting machines, to frankenfood products, to disgusting oriental seafood, etc... is their connection to Chinese investment and money.

The love China, Republican voters do not.

Did you read the comments? There will be a special election. There will probably be candidates from both parties
