The only thing you didn't make clear Randy is the left's predictable rush to demonize and destroy anyone daring to point out the obvious flaws and historical fallacies of whatever scheme-de-jour our swamp rats (from both sides) have been peddling ad nauseum...

You will never know what these homo greaseballs actually believe. They sit in their mother's basement, in their whitefronts, watching cartoons and trolling all day. They are likely unloved and retarded so thrive on the attention they get from trolling.

[quote=maryla][quote=American Vet]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.

Another reason I'm fleeing the state...[/quote]

The mainstream media was in on it. I have seen the videos. Bought and paid for election officials pulling ballots from underneath tables after election polls were closed, running the same stacks of ballots thru the machines over and over again. And lets not forget Christmas morning Dec. 25 2020 when a missile strike took out an RV parked outside the AT&T building in Nashville Tenn. where all of the Dominion Voting machines were stored. This was part of a cover-up to erase the memory of the machines. This was a stolen election, well planned, and when the people who could have done something about it did not we were surprised to find out , either way they were bought and paid for or their lives and or families lives were threatened. The deep state is a lot bigger than anyone thought. You better wake up before it's too late.

Wake up! 81 million people didn’t vote for the dimwit!

A lot of them didn't exist or they were dead. That's why it is so hard to trust our "voting system" any more. We'll see in November.

Remember the penalties for murder could include death to yourself. Not worth the risk…. Tell that to the people who commit murder. There was extreme voter fraud in 2020. The thing is it was done by Democrats in counties controlled by Democrats with mostly Democrat appointed judges.

No one can say with certainty that there wasn't voter fraud in just about every county in every state!

The results of the 2016 election said HRC got the popular vote - until 11 counties in California turned out to have fraudulent votes. That put Trump over the top as the popular vote getter.

I believe that the mail-in ballots was the Dems' way of insuring they got re-elected.

We need to bring back voter ID, and get rid of machine voting.

I believe all those who tampered in our elections, be it one vote or one thousand, should absolutely do prison time. No matter their political party, no matter their beliefs, PRISON is a great deterrent if we use it. And if all truly want "fair and honest" elections why wouldn't they support this discipline?

That last sentence is a great idea. The problem is when you try to do it the lefty workers are going to freak completely out. RACIST. DISCRIMINATION. I can hear it now. What they'll probably do is bring fao-chi out of the basement with another variant. Say it's too dangerous to vote in person and then they will call for all mail in ballots.

River Reb Loc: MS Delta

They definitely should be in jail. But with our current "justice" system, cold blooded killers don't go to jail.
