It has been 5 years for the reason that disastrous 2020 election, and regardless of President Trump’s return to energy, Michigan Republicans are nonetheless preventing to reveal the total extent of Biden’s stolen victory. The Michigan Legislature stays deeply divided, with Republicans holding a 58-52 majority within the Home, whereas Democrats management the Senate by a razor-thin 19-18 margin, following the resignation of Sen. Kristen McDonald Rivet (D-Midland).
Far-left Governor Gretchen Whitmer has thus far refused to name a particular election to fill the seat, involved that her social gathering will lose a particular election and thereby lose Democrat management of the State Senate, leaving the Senate with 37 lively members and potential legislative gridlock on main points—together with election integrity.
However Republicans in command of the Michigan Home have been dedicated to investigating election integrity and previous examples of voter fraud.
The struggle over 2020 fraud is heating up once more as Michigan Home Speaker Professional Tempore Rachelle Smit (R) took the battle on to the Home Oversight Committee immediately, demanding a uncommon legislative subpoena in opposition to Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson—who oversaw Michigan’s deeply compromised 2020 election.
Benson introduced in January that she’s working for Michigan’s Governor within the 2026 election.
Smit, testifying earlier than the House Oversight Committee led by Chair Jay DeBoyer, who’s a former County Clerk himself, she outlined the methods during which her workplace had been stonewalled and sandbagged by the Democrat Secretary of State.
Testy exchanges and recriminations in the course of the listening to replicate the ambiance in Lansing, the place Democrats misplaced unified management of each chambers of the legislature and the Governor’s workplace. Democrats instructed that, as an alternative of a subpoena, the division merely be allowed to return testify on their very own in 4-6 weeks.
Republicans stated no extra delays.
Democrats, within the minority, then instructed that as an alternative of a subpoena, the division merely be given extra time to conform.
Rep. Dylan Wegela (D), then requested rhetorically if the Republicans actually and genuinely thought that any member of the legislature might merely ask for paperwork from the Govt department and be given them. Rep. Wegela’s remark was dismissive in tone, and meant to counsel that legislators mustn’t anticipate the Govt to adjust to its doc requests.
All Republicans loudly answered Rep. Wegela saying that sure, the Govt department ought to adjust to cheap Legislative doc requests.
Smit, herself a former clerk, had beforehand pledged to her voters to thoroughly investigate and document voter fraud.
In the long run, the Committee determined to ship a strongly-worded demand letter to the Division with a deadline of March 22, 2025 to conform. That is as an alternative of issuing a proper subpoena, which has extra enforcement energy whether it is defied.
The brand new Republican majority has touted its legislative energy to situation subpoenas to the far-left Democrats in energy with the Michigan Governor. That is the primary main check of that legislative subpoena energy.
Oversight Chair Jay DeBoyer has instructed colleagues that if the Division refuses to honor the demand letter, that the subpoena will comply with.
Benson’s Bureau of Elections has refused to show over key data associated to election coaching supplies, clerks’ steering memos, and inner directions on election procedures, stonewalling Republican lawmakers with bureaucratic pink tape. As a substitute of complying with legislative oversight, Benson’s workplace tried to drive the Michigan Home to file a Freedom of Data Act (FOIA) request—as in the event that they have been mere members of the general public.
Even worse, the division then demanded two months, 140 manhours, and a staggering $8,700 payment to supply public data that ought to have been available. These type of techniques, delays and charging excessive charges, are typical of presidency our bodies which are making an attempt to cover paperwork and conceal proof of their misdeeds.
Caught in a Lie—Benson’s Workplace Sandbags Election Investigation
Smit initially requested 12 categories of documents, together with:
- A full index of election coaching supplies offered to clerks.
- All regulatory and statutory steering memos despatched by Benson and her predecessor courting again to 2016.
- An internet site map of all public-facing election-related websites.
- Contact data for all clerks throughout Michigan.
In response, Benson’s workplace launched selective data, together with an index of supplies, Brater’s steering memos to clerks, and hyperlinks to coaching supplies—however refused to grant login entry to the e-learning platform used to coach clerks, claiming it was “delicate.”
When Smit pushed for a privilege log to doc what was being withheld and why, the division dodged the request, falsely claiming they “didn’t perceive” what was being requested. This blatant stonewalling raises severe questions: What’s Benson hiding? What precisely are election clerks being instructed about election regulation?
Election Officers Caught Deleting Essential 2020 Knowledge
We already know from whistleblowers that former Bureau of Elections Director Jonathan Brater despatched memos to Michigan clerks instructing them to destroy ballot e-book information. We know he additionally suggested clerks not to answer FOIA requests for Certified Voter File (QVF) information.
Within the wake of the contested and compromised 2020 election, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson engaged in an ongoing cover-up and suppression of public paperwork.
Now, Michigan Republicans need to formally confirm whether or not these orders have been a part of the formal coaching and regulatory steering offered to election officers. Smit confirmed {that a} native clerk possesses destruction memos associated to ballot e-book information and shall be handing them over within the subsequent two days.
The resistance from Benson’s workplace suggests there’s much more damning data buried inside the e-learning system—a lot in order that they’re prepared to lie, impede, and delay for months relatively than let the reality come out.
Secret Fb Group Uncovered by Gateway Pundit Confirmed Clerks Knew About Fraud
This isn’t the primary time Michigan’s election officers have been caught hiding the reality about election regulation violations behind personal digital teams. It was uncovered by the Gateway Pundit that the state’s election clerks have been operating a secret Facebook group the place they mentioned witnessing fraud in the course of the 2020 election. Describing packing containers of suspicious ballots from the infamous GBI Methods group, clerks referred to as them “care packages.”
Regardless of this monitor report of documented voter fraud, Benson’s workplace continues to deny entry to election coaching manuals, pretending they’re defending “delicate” data.
The Michigan Home is investigating whether or not secret election steering to clerks allowed, enabled, and facilitated the 2020 election fraud.
Observe the Proof—Warner Norcross Legislation Agency Recordsdata Maintain Key to 2020 Fraud
Michigan’s former regulation agency for legislative election challenges, Warner Norcross, nonetheless possesses proof clusters of systemic voter fraud from 2020. But, Democrats are doing every little thing they will to maintain these data buried.
With the 2026 elections looming, Michigan Republicans are escalating their struggle to drive full disclosure of election data and guarantee this by no means occurs once more. However with Benson, Nessel, and Whitmer nonetheless working to cowl their tracks, the query stays:
What are they hiding? And the way for much longer will they be allowed to get away with systemic voter fraud within the 2020 election?
Just yesterday the Gateway Pundit exclusively reported additional, credible, suspicions that comparable absentee poll fraud was happening in Michigan’s infamous Muskegon County within the latest 2024 election as properly.
