The official narrative promoted by Michigan election officials has long been that Joe Biden defeated President Donald J. Trump in the 2020 General election in Michigan by 154,188 votes thereby awarding Michigan’s 16 electoral college votes to Joe Biden. On the basis of this narrative, on July 18, 2023, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel indicted each of the alternate 16 Republican electors with eight felony counts including forgery and conspiracy charges. These charges hinge upon the assertion that the 2020 election was lawfully certified. Was it?

Wayne County, MI is the largest county by population in the State of Michigan. According to the official Wayne County election records for the 2020 General Election, 597,170 votes were cast for Joe Biden and 264,553 for President Trump for a vote margin of 332,617 in favor of Biden. If these votes were not lawfully certified, the statewide vote margin flips to reveal a 178,429 margin of victory for President Trump in Michigan. That means that President Trump, not Joe Biden would be the rightful owner of Michigan’s 16 electoral college votes for the 2020 election.

The question is, “Are there compelling legal grounds to assert that the 2020 election results in Wayne County, MI were not lawfully certified?”

The simple answer is Yes. Continue reading this post to find out what evidence supports this assertion.

County Boards of Canvassers

In Michigan, county election results are certified by the county board of canvassers. The powers and duties of county boards of canvassers are defined in MCL 168.24a. The act of canvassing is equivalent to conducting an audit or “thorough examination” of election records. In each county in Michigan, there are four appointees to the County Board of Canvassers – two Republicans and two Democrats. Per MCL 168.24e, a minimum of three canvassers must agree before any action of that board “becomes effective” including certification.

Certification History in Wayne County, MI

In order to better understand how one could logically assert that the 2020 general election in Wayne County was not lawfully certified, let’s compare the certification paperwork for the 2016, 2018, and 2020 general elections in Wayne County as obtained by the Michigan Grassroots Alliance via Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.

2016 General Election Certification

The 2016 General Election was clearly certified by all four county canvassers.

2018 General Election Certification

The 2018 general election certification paperwork was signed by only three canvassers. Per MCL 168.24e, this is a sufficient number of canvassers in support of certification so the decree has full effect.

2020 General Election Certification

In contrast with the 2016 and 2018 certifications in Wayne County, the certification paperwork for the 2020 election was only signed by two of the county canvassers (Both Democrats). Per MCL 168.24e, this is NOT a sufficient number of canvassers to certify the election. In other words, the 2020 general election results in Wayne County were not lawfully certified. This is a statement of fact not conjecture.

Conduct of 2020 Election

Anyone attempting to assert that the failure to lawfully certify the 2020 general election results in Wayne County was simply a “clerical error” would be in incorrect. Such an assertion would either be an intentional act seeking to deceive the general public or a negligent act as a result of failing to review the evidence available. The record of the events leading up to the certification vote on November 17, 2020 as well as the meeting minutes for the November 17, 2020 Wayne County Board of Canvassers meeting clearly indicate that the two Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers, Monica Palmer and William Hartman (now deceased), had significant reservations as to the integrity of the election records presented to them for certification. There were significant anomalies for which no satisfactory explanation had been provided to them by election officials. There was clearly an expectation by these officials that Palmer and Hartman would simply “look the other way” and “rubber stamp” the certification regardless of these anomalies. They did not do so.

Detailed accounts of these anomalies and the November 17, 2020 timeline can be found in my book The 2020 Coup: What Happened. What We Can Do. A summary of this information follows.

Wayne County Election Anomalies

There were numerous anomalies that bring the certification of the 2020 election results in Wayne County into question. Included among these anomalies are the following:

  • There was a 3:30am ballot drop at the Absentee Vote Counting Board (AVCB) center at the TCF Center in Detroit without any chain of custody
  • Brazen poll book updates one day before Wayne County Board of Canvassers vote on certification, 13 days after the election, and 6 days after Michigan statute (MCL 168.813) requires the list of voters to be uploaded to the statewide Qualified Voter File
  • An astounding 71% of AVCB’s in Detroit were unbalanced and, per statute, not subject to recount

Since that time, attorney Stefanie Lambert commissioned an analysis by Speckin Forensics of absentee ballots in Detroit that revealed that thousands of illegal absentee ballots were injected into the Detroit ballot count. The analysis corroborates the previous concerns with absentee ballot anomalies in Detroit and has parallels with anomalies discovered elsewhere in Michigan such as Muskegon County.

November 17, 2020 Wayne County Board of Canvassers Meeting

The November 17, 2020 Wayne County Board of Canvassers Meeting was a marathon session that revealed at least three significant issues with the certification of the election results in addition to signed certification paperwork. The official board minutes from this meeting can be viewed below.

November 17, 2020 Meeting Minutes for Wayne County Board of Canvassers

Issue #1: Certification Vote Did Not Pass

I was personally present at the November 17, 2020. While there, I witnessed the canvasser vote on certification. Monica Palmer and William Hartman voted No. Allen Wilson and Jonathan Kinloch voted Yes. Since three Yes votes are required to certify an election, the motion to certify the election failed. The minutes clearly document this vote regarding certification.

Under MCL 168.822, the failure of the county board of canvassers to certify the election should have resulted in a transfer of all county election records to the state for them to canvass the county results. That didn’t happen. Instead, what followed was a public comment period featuring disgraceful, intimidating racist accusations against Palmer and Hartman by people that included Democrat State Representative Abrahim Aiyash and Wayne State University Vice President Ned Stabler.

November 17, 2020 Wayne County Board of Canvassers Meeting Public Comments

Issue #2: Conditional Vote

Subsequent to the employment of the intimidation tactics on display during public comment that included the doxing of daughter of Monica Palmer by Aiyash, both Palmer and Hartman issued conditional yes votes on certification provided that a comprehensive audit of the unexplained precincts in Wayne County would be conducted. Such an audit never happened.

In addition to the conditions associated with the vote never having been satisfied, there never was a motion to reconsider the first vote. Under standard public meeting rules, the first vote has standing not the second vote without a motion to reconsider the first vote being passed.

Issue #3: Reassertion of No Vote

Finally, in the wake of public statements made by Michigan Secretary of State in which she asserted she would not be complying with the conditions stipulated in the second vote, Chair Monica Palmer released the following affidavit indicating a reaffirmation of her No vote on certification.

The other Republican member of the Board of Canvassers, William Hartman, issued a similar statement reasserting his No vote on certification.

While the lack of the required certification signatures is all that is needed to assert that Wayne County never lawfully certified the 2020 election, it is clear to see that there are additional compelling reasons to support the same conclusion.

False Statements Exposed

Using the legal arguments espoused by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel in the indictment of the 16 Republican Electors, the failure to lawfully certify the 2020 general election results in Wayne County would result in the indictment of the following Democrat electors for felony forgery and conspiracy charges:

  • Chris Cracchiolo
  • Timothy Smith
  • Blake Mazurek
  • Bonnie Lauria
  • Bobbie Walton
  • Mark Miller
  • Connor Wood
  • Robin Smith
  • Walt Herzig
  • Carolyn Holley
  • Susan Nichols
  • Steven Rzeppa
  • Helen Moore
  • Michael Kerwin
  • Marseille Allen
  • Chuck Browning

Since I do not agree with the politically-motivated legal arguments asserted by Nessel, I would not recommend such charges against the Democrat electors. Furthermore, I recommend that the charges against the 16 Republican electors are dropped immediately as there is sufficient legal ground to merit the need for an alternate slate of electors.

I do, however, believe that Democrat representatives of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers Allen Wilson and Jonathan Kinloch should be held accountable for signing a certifiably false statement. Their signatures asserting that they were presenting the correct transcript of the election results to the State Board of Canvassers are false assertions in light of the failure to pass the motion to certify the election.

The actions of the members of the State Board of Canvassers who certified the 2020 general election also merit legal scrutiny. They were negligent in the conduct of their duties to canvass the statewide election results. In particular, they were notified prior to taking their vote to certify the statewide results that the Wayne County results were not lawfully certified.

In spite of this important fact being brought to their attention, they voted to certify the statewide results without any substantive investigation of this assertion. In this light, Aaron Van Langevelde, Jeannette Bradshaw, and Julie Matuzak are also guilty of making false statements under oath.

Conclusion

The statewide results of the 2020 general election hinge upon the lawful certification of Wayne County’s election results. The results of the election in Wayne County were demonstrably NOT lawfully certified. Any one of the following reasons would be sufficient to justify this assertion on its own, but notably there are no less than four substantive reasons.

  1. The official certification paperwork for Wayne County Board of Canvassers only shows 2 not the required 3 signatures.
  2. Initial vote was 2-2. 3 votes needed to certify election results.
  3. Conditional vote was 4-0, but there was no motion to reconsider initial vote and the conditions associated with the vote were rejected by Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.
  4. Upon rejection of conditions, both Palmer and Hartman reasserted their no votes via affidavits.

The failure to lawfully certify the election results in Wayne County during the 2020 election changes the reported outcome of the election in Michigan. As a result, President Donald J. Trump is the lawful winner of Michigan’s 16 electoral votes for the 2020 presidential election. The alternate slate of Republican electors is therefore entirely justified beyond any reasonable doubt. The charges issued by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel against these electors should therefore be dismissed immediately.

    1. There are far better reasons that the charges should be dropped, 1st and foremost they did nothing wrong. They’re actions do not meet the required elements for fraud and forgery charges. They signed their own names, their signed paper looked nothing like a counterfeit document. Their so called votes could not be counted because they did not comply with 3 USC ch.1 secs 5 & 6. Pence nor Congress could reject the votes of the 1 official slate from from every State. In order for fraud or forgery to have been committed, the victim (pence/congress) had to have been able to rely on the fraud or forgery, by law 3 USC ch. 1 sec 15 they could not. It’s just a political witch on a hunt.

  2. What will be done about this? I won’t hold my breath. I’m a Wayne County voter, I’d like my vote to count for once

    1. This has me wondering. The article says many names were added to the QVF after the fact.
      Many of us the state over filed FOIAs right after the election from our home precinct and were denied. The clerks seemed afraid of the Secretary of State. Perhaps the QVF hadn’t been adjusted yet? Were they adjusting to the numbers of fake registrations that perhaps were able to vote by mail?

    1. Okay, what recourse does Michigan voters have? With the Evil Triumvirate in office , I don’t see any legal correction of this injustice by our state government!
      🤔⚖️

  43. Good web site! I truly love how it is easy on my eyes and the data are well written. I am wondering how I could be notified whenever a new post has been made. I’ve subscribed to your RSS which must do the trick! Have a nice day!

  44. I along with all of this, is my suspicion of Proposal 2 which is an amendment to our State Constitution that to me would not pass the scrutiny of the U.S. Constitution as it was on directions for rules that governs our state elections. From what I had been told that it was put in by a grass roots effort by petition. Which no one ever said to anyone before voting that according to the Federal Constitution requires that to be drawn up by State legislators. As far as I can see it just gives all the election violations to The Secretary of State all the tools she was called out by a Federal judge had charged her with/

  50. This is like beating a dead horse, but I have always wondered and wrote many letters, to the fact, ‘Why didn’t anyone investigate the Millions of $’s of evidence, that proved ‘the 2020 election was stolen’? Biden himself stated in October of 2020, they had the most fraudulent organization in the US voting history. (paraphrased)

  57. It’s actually a nice and useful piece of information. I am glad that you shared this useful information with us. Please stay us informed like this. Thank you for sharing.

  64. Great beat ! I would like to apprentice while you amend your web site, how could i subscribe for a blog site? The account helped me a acceptable deal. I had been a little bit acquainted of this your broadcast provided bright clear concept
