LANSING, Mich. — Michigan Republicans on Saturday picked Kristina Karamo to lead the party in the battleground state, fully embracing an election-denying Trump acolyte after her failed bid for statewide office, one in which she unsuccessfully sued to throw out mail-in votes in Detroit and refused to concede.
Ms. Karamo won a majority of delegate votes at the state party’s convention in Lansing, the state capital, after three rounds of voting that — slowed by paper ballots and hand counting — went on hours longer than the period for which the party had originally rented the convention space.
Her victory appeared to be an upset of Matthew DePerno, another vocal champion of former President Donald J. Trump’s election falsehoods who had his backing in the leadership contest.

Despite Mr. Trump’s endorsement of her rival, Ms. Karamo’s victory in some ways signaled an even stronger recommitment to Mr. Trump as the state party’s north star: One of the biggest flourishes of applause from the crowd of more than 2,000 delegates came when Ms. Karamo reminded them of her refusal to concede the secretary of state’s race.
Both Ms. Karamo and Mr. DePerno lost resoundingly last fall: Ms. Karamo by 14 points and Mr. DePerno, in his bid for attorney general, by eight percentage points. They were among a number of Trump-backed candidates who were rejected by Michigan voters during the midterm elections.

They stole the US Senate seat from John James twice.
Mighty white of 'em...
A fabulist POS that MSN would LOVE to have on their "news" page.
Commie piece of garbage.
This “writer” is real hack. Despite Karamo being a black female he slandered her without restraint. The only thing the rats fear these days is to have to wide scale cheating exposed. Any hint that the light will shine on it is met with a full on offensive.
Yep and the damn GOP has screwed things up all over the country. They’ve sabotaged conservatives in WA as well. F’n traitors!!
