Michigan Election Official Charged with Ballot Tampering, Allegedly Stopped Votes from Being Counted
By C. Douglas Golden
Here’s the mainstream media take: Election fraud doesn’t exist. It’s a figment of the febrile conservative mind. It’s a chimera used to discriminate against marginalized communities/voters of color/transgender Eskimo communities/whatever. If you talk about it, you’re probably some kind of QAnon nutcase.
Oh, by the way, an elections official in a Michigan city is now charged with tampering with ballots so they couldn’t be counted in a 2020 race she narrowly won and could spend five years in prison on each of two felony charges. Nothing to see here!
The case of Kathy Funk hardly represents large-scale election fraud, but it’s illustrative of how this isn’t an imaginary phenomenon constructed by far-right fabulists. So it might not be a surprise that the charges against Funk aren’t going to get much coverage in the mainstream media.
According to a report by MLive-The Flint Journal, Funk was the township clerk in Flint Township, Michigan, running for reelection as a Democrat back in 2020, and oversaw the election as well.
Public broadcaster Michigan Radio reported that during the August primary, Funk reported a break-in at the township’s offices to police, telling them that the seal on a ballot container was broken.
But, after an investigation by the Michigan State Police, the office of Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel came to a different conclusion: Funk had broken the seal herself.
“The Department of Attorney General alleges Funk purposely broke a seal on a ballot container so that the votes inside, under Michigan Election Law, could not be counted in an anticipated recount,” the Michigan Department of Attorney General said in a Friday statement.
“Funk was running for re-election, and narrowly prevailed in the unofficial count.”
Funk would eventually defeat challenger Manya Triplett by a margin of 2,698 votes to 2,619.

In the MLive.com-The Flint Journal report, Triplett said that she’d asked for a recount after she said she witnessed suspicious activity at the township’s offices in the days before and after the primary.
Triplett was told the break-in prevented any recount, given the tampering with the ballot boxes, according to the report.
Funk now faces felony charges of ballot tampering and misconduct in office, both of which carry potential five-year sentences if she’s convicted.
She pleaded not guilty at her arraignment Monday, according to MLive.
“Election officials must uphold the integrity of their positions. Those who abuse that commitment undermine the very foundation of our democracy,” Nessel said.
Nessel, a Democrat and a polarizing figure in her own right, almost sounds regretful about that last part. If Funk were a Republican, would her quote have started with, “Hot diggity!” and 20 hand-clap emojis?
Would the statement have alleged Funk was wearing a MAGA hat when she allegedly tampered with the ballots? Asking for a friend.
But I digress. Funk’s case may seem small stakes, given Flint Township is the neighboring, smaller cousin to the better-known city of Flint (site of a lead-contaminated water crisis that made national headlines). Democrats might be quick to dismiss it as a bad B-plot for a “Parks & Recreation” episode.
Here’s The Associated Press, for instance, making sure you get the point in the last paragraph of its report about the charges against Funk:
“An AP review of election fraud in Michigan and five other battleground states found that state officials identified a total of 56 potential instances of voter fraud in Michigan, a number that represents less than 1% of President Joe Biden’s margin of victory in the state.”
Not that anyone had actually brought up any connection between the charges against Funk and the 2020 presidential election. The AP’s point is to report on a criminal election fraud case — and then to assure everyone there’s no such thing as voter fraud, at least not on a consequential level. Why even report on it in the first place?
And as for Funk? She’s no longer the township clerk in Flint Township, having resigned. Not over the criminal charges, though.
As the AP reported, she left to take on a new job — as the elections supervisor for Genesee County, Michigan’s fifth-most-populous county.
Totally inconsequential, folks. Nothing to see here.

Election fraud will always exist because there are people who cheat. However, it is usually small scale. Remember that the penalties for election fraud are pretty steep. Like 5 years for casting an illegal ballot
Not worth the risk most of the time.

Election fraud will exist until the right relents. They lost the Election.
It will be election fraud of the Big Lie until they can accept their loss.
I personally wouldn’t allow them to vote until they can recognize Biden as Present President .
I mean why let them vote again ?
They haven’t gotten past the last election.
So, will we need to do this all over again when they lose ? Or every time we vote.?
Or every time they don’t win ?

To you not worth the risk - most criminal activities aren't.
But should we ignore criminal activity?

And once again a wannabe dictator speaks about How It Should Be Done. Does anyone out there REALLY want our country to follow this person's opinions? First, all our money belongs to the government who should decide how to distribute it, and now keeping our rights are subject to this person's approval. A shining example of fundamental change.

Election fraud doesn't exist according to those who are clueless about election fraud. In fact election fraud has been found in all 50 states. In the swing states the most election fraud has been found. It didn't take much in 6 swing states to throw the election to the loser we now have in office. Stopping those votes in the middle of the night and finding more fake ballots and switched ballots could be found in those renegade precincts controlled by the corrupt Democrat party. This was the biggest insurrection in our history.

Weren't you and your friends screaming at the sky when Trump won in 2016? Not your President?
Look what ewe have done now. Facilitated the probable rigged selection of the noticeably demented man in the white house (by voting for him) who has surpassed Jimmy Carter as the worst President in history. Rosalynn sends her thanks.

It is the underlying assumption of the left. It is the absolutely NECESSARY assumption they must make for them to believe that:
a. The government (or them) gets to decide how much money you need
b. The government (or them) gets to decide how much money you 'deserve' for the work you do
c. The government (or them) provides the bulk of the means necessary for you to succeed (YOU did not build that)
d. The government gets to decide what is 'fair' for each of us to acquire.
and the list can continue, but it is all variations of the same. The basic belief of the left is that everything belongs to the 'community' of America, including all money, and the government is our designated manager to decide how to divide it all up.
Do you disagree with my analysis?
