The Bureau of Elections (MI) should have audit documentation in place to conform to Fed election rules. That documentation should have 2 audit procedures defined; pre-election and post-election.

The pre-election audit shuould confirm a purged registry of voters, zero totals in all machines that were tested for programming errors.

The post-election audit should show the current measures in place that was performed in 3 different districts (that vary from year to year).

The Big Steal was completely BIPARTISAN!

No, the Big Steal was from globalists bent on removing our nationality. Where have you been the past 5 years?

"'threatens the survival of our democracy' [???]"

"The petition would require a review of all ballots and vote tallies for all federal, state and local elections,"

Regarding alleged vote counting fraud by desparate Democrats in 2020 elections, by refusing to challenge her state's election results, misguided Secretary of State Benson is unthinkingly obstructing due process of Section 2 of the 14th Amendment imo, section 2 a penalty for states that abridge the voting power of citizens “in any way."

"14th Amendment, Section 2: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced [emphases added] in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State."
Regarding corrupt Congress inadvertently acknowledging state sovereignty on January 6, consider that Congress otherwise blatantly ignores (imo) its constitutionally emerated duty to guarantee each state in the union a republican form of government imo, evidenced by Section 4 of Article IV.
"Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence [emphases added]."

Hard to believe that some feel it is better to not know if elections are fair than to be comfortable with the results.

I can understand how if you feel that something wasn’t quite right in an election that you won, you would not want the fraud and cheating to be exposed. However, if you won fairly, you should want your election to be recognized as legitimate.

There is a real problem in being able to politically lead, if a “large...even if under 50%” of the people have questions about an election and its results. Ultimately, politicians are going to discover that they need the confidence of the vast majority of voters to deal with painful political decisions.

Right now there is neither confidence in our political leaders, any leadership qualities, nor a desire to address the hard problems facing our country.

When these cretins say, “our democracy” they are NOT talking about the constitutional republic. That term is their code for the subversive commie regime they are seeking to impose over our constitutional republic.

It’s reminiscent of the meaning behind La Cosa Nostra, the Sicilian term for “our thing”. It’s the commie’s “our thing” and “democracy” is their public code for it.

What about the Jill Stein 2016 delay game Democrats are evil.

The DNC had to quietly ask Jill Stein to stop the Michigan recount because they were turning up some much ballot fraud in Wayne County.

Why? It’s a very critical function of democracy. If everything’s on the up and up, wouldn’t she want to demonstrate that???
