Michigan Republican in Charge of Certifying Future E******ns Calls Trump 'Malignancy'

Newsweek, by Jenni Fink

Tony Daunt, a GOP member of Michigan's Board of State Canvassers, commended a state Senate committee for concluding there was no widespread fraud in the 2020 e******n and criticized former President Donald Trump for continuing to "spout lies."

Daunt, who previously challenged Michigan's "sloppy" v**er rolls, was appointed in January to the board, which is tasked with certifying e******n results. Also a member of Michigan's Republican State Committee, Daunt is of the camp that doesn't see Trump as an asset to the party and, with midterms next year, condemns him for harping on the last e******n.

"I just want to thank you...for having the courage to stand up against the malignancy that is Donald Trump and the people who have lacked the courage to stand up to him for the last six months," Daunt said after state Senator Ed McBroom presented the Senate Oversight Committee's report, according to The Detroit News.

Trump narrowly won Michigan in 2016 but lost it last November to President Joe Biden by about 3 percentage points. With 16 e*******l v**es, it was considered a critical state for Trump, and in the wake of the 2020 e******n, his team fought to see the results overturned.

Seven months after the e******n, the Republican-controlled Senate Oversight Committee published a report on its findings. The committee concluded there was "no evidence of widespread or systematic fraud," which contradicts Trump's claims. It also said those who have touted Antrim County as "prime evidence" of a conspiracy to steal the e******n have "zero credibility."

Canvassing of Antrim County forced officials to correct the results to show Trump overwhelmingly won, not Biden, as was initially reported.

While the report didn't confirm skeptics' concerns about the e******n, it called on the attorney general to consider investigating people who pushed the false claims to "raise money or publicity to their own ends."

It's a consequence several attorneys who challenged results in Michigan are currently learning. U.S. District Judge Linda Parker is weighing whether to impose financial penalties or sanctions on attorneys Lin Wood, Sydney Powell and others who signed on to a lawsuit challenging Michigan's results. Although the lawsuit was dropped, Detroit city and state officials want to be reimbursed for attorneys' fees and for Parker to hold those who pushed the claims accountable.

Court failures have done little to temper Trump's belief that he won the 2020 e******n, and he's criticized Republicans who have diverted from that message. Given the political capital Trump's endorsement carries in e******ns, GOP legislators looking to get reelected have to walk a political tightrope when it comes to the former president.

Daunt, a former Trump supporter, changed his tune after the e******n. He told WXMI in March that peddling claims that the e******n was s****n had presented a "real problem for the party moving forward." He added that Trump is "not good for the party."

Having seen the report from the Senate Oversight Committee, Daunt told The Detroit News all evidence runs contrary to Trump's claims. "He is leading a lot of good people astray. He's filling their heads with lies," Daunt said.

With all due respect, Slate why are you guys so obssessed with Donakd Trump?????

They have to try and keep the focus off Biden's massive failures. That is the marching orders from their handlers.

proud republican Loc: RED CALIFORNIA

These people have unhealthy obsession with former President!!!

Actually it's your side that has the Trump obsession. Claiming that he won when he clearly lost, thinking that he will be reinstated, pretending that the Trump loss was the result of c***ting....those are the signs of obsession. We would love to move on but you won't let us.

Liberty Tree

You have nothing to move on to except the destruction of America.

Really???
The left controls the MSM public narrative.
Who you kidding?
..and Hillary still claims 2016 was stolen...but the narrative is silent...hmmm.
Yes, the bolsheviks have you conned..or you're already with them.
There is more to a fair and honest e******n than counting v**es....but you weren't told by your masters so I understand the ignorance

Actually, that's Trump's goal. Many, if not most, of his supporters can't seem to grasp or realize that. Those, like you, who do are willing participants in his attempt to destroy our great nation of America.

working class stiff Loc: N. Carolina

Yes really. Your obfuscation only serves to bolster my point. I answered a question about Trump obsession and you bring in the MSM, Hillary Clinton, bolsheviks, and masters. All in an effort to justify the continued phantasmagorical effort to reinstall Trump to the presidency by claiming the v**e was r****d.

Trump lost, snowflake. Stop whining.

slatten49 Loc: Lake Whitney, Texas

This coming from one who, like his namesake Mr. Magoo, is best known for his lack of vision.

working class stiff Loc: N. Carolina

That's a tired old refrain....actually meaningless at this point. Now some of you folks are starting to sound like Trump. Ya lost, get over it. Every e******n has a loser, this time it was your guy.

slatten49 Loc: Lake Whitney, Texas

Magoo should have brought in Rasputin, the Bolshevik-era historical figure Trump often seems to embody.

Respectfully, because he is the greatest single threat to our great American Democratic Constitutional Republic.

Because he tried to throw out millions of legal v**es to allow himself to remain president and you people would support him in his effort. Even worst knowing he did this and many other illegal acts you people would blindly elect him again if possible. You are just as dangerous to this country and Democracy as he is. You believe what you're told and don't believe your own eyes, the man must be payed attention to because he is an enemy of everything good.

vernon

Slat just what is your information that causes you to come to that conclusion? Are you just clinging to the lies of the last 4 years?
