Irony: Michigan Democrats Alleging Voter Fraud in Their Own Endorsement Process

meme

It doesn't get more on-the-nose than this. 

Michigan Democrats are engaged in internal warfare after it became clear that their statewide endorsements from the mid-April convention were tainted by massive voter fraud.

You almost have to laugh… until you realize what it means.

The same party that tells you elections are perfectly secure—and that you should just ‘trust them’—can’t even run its own convention vote without serious questions.

Over 200 votes were cast from outside the building.

If they can’t keep their own internal process clean, why should everyday voters be expected to blindly trust them with statewide elections?

People aren’t asking for perfection—they’re asking for honesty and transparency. And right now, this is just more proof that democrats obviously can’t deliver that.

🚨 BOMBSHELL REPORT: Hundreds of ineligible voters took part in the Michigan Democrat Party's endorsement convention, highlighting the importance of voter integrity.

Losing candidates are starting to take legal action against the Democrat Party, claiming the election were STOLEN from them after an investigation revealed that hundreds of ineligible voters took part in their recent endorsement convention.

We recently asked how many ineligible voters took part in the Democrat Endorsement convention, and now we are learning it was hundreds.

Democrats can't even secure their own internal elections. What a mess!

There are so many layers of irony in this. The first, of course, is the fact that "election denialism" is back with a vengeance for Democrats, as it was in between 2016 and 2020, when challenging the legitimacy of Republicans winning an election was very much in vogue. 

Stacey Abrams' sole claim to national visibility was her four-year campaign to delegitimize the election she lost, and Hillary Clinton still insists that she won the presidency in 2016. But after Trump's loss in 2020, any questions raised about that undeniably odd election year practices were determined to be treasonous and a "threat to democracy."

But we are in the new age of Donald II, who is apparently the King, so the rules have changed. 

Then there is the irony that the challengers to this election are perfectly right. There indeed was voter fraud, committed by the progressive Democrats. In fact, it is the establishment Democrats who are pointing that out, because they are butthurt that the cheating helped their opponents instead of themselves

Michigan Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel is backing a growing push to recount all votes cast during the state's Democratic convention, admitting her own votes were improperly tallied.

The Michigan Democratic Party held its convention on Sunday, April 19, where more than 6,000 delegates gathered to vote on candidates to represent the party for statewide offices, including secretary of state, attorney general and university board of trustees members, in the general election in November. State Sen. Sylvia Santana called for an independent audit of the convention's elections, alleging an investigation she led found "material errors" with the voting systems.

"I learned in the days immediately following the convention that the Election Buddy app did not correctly attribute my votes or my congressional district, and I immediately notified the impacted candidates and the state party chair," Nessel wrote in a statement, affirming state Sen. Sylvia Santana's calls for an independent audit.

They're not wrong to be butthurt, by the way, but this is little different than a con man complaining that he was conned by a better con man. It couldn't have happened to a more deserving group of crooks. 

But in her statement, Nessel shut down any effort to draw a "false equivalency" between failures in the Democratic Party's internal voting systems and statewide elections.

Of COURSE we can't draw any equivalency. Because that would harm the Democrats!

Does anybody think that securing an election with only a bit more than a thousand votes is HARDER than securing a statewide election? I mean, really. The tally at the Democratic Party convention is done under the watchful eyes of sophisticated political operatives with a great deal at stake. They have total control over the system. They get to design it without dealing with many thousands of moving parts or the need to recruit inexperienced volunteers. 

And the system was rigged under those conditions. Who doesn't think it would be much easier to rig a system where all the officials involved want the same result, as in Deep Blue cities and precincts? When the Attorney General of the state finds that her own votes were manipulated by malefactors in her party, she persists in saying that nothing like that could possibly happen when Democrats have the opportunity to screw Republicans out of power.

Please. Only a Pravda propagandist or an AWFL would say they believe that, and of course, they will say that because they all want the same thing. 

Here in Minnesota, there are accusations of voter shenanigans in similar circumstances. Democrats regularly cheat in their own power struggles, and it is not uncommon for fights to break out, metaphorically or occasionally literally. 

Democrats even resort to..gasp!...voter ID in some cases, because Somalis have a habit of showing up without any certainty that they live in the district or are eligible to vote. A random person or 10 in Niqabs can swing an election, and nobody knows who they are. Democrats' "democratic" processes are not exactly what you would expect if you live in a suburb and don't get deeply involved in political warfare. 

It's hilarious to see all these establishment Democrats who slander Republicans all  the  time as "election deniers" get hoist on their own petard. 

The internal drama within the Michigan Democratic Party comes as Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and her administration continue to push back against a Justice Department request for Wayne County's 2024 voter data. The request from the Trump administration is part of a broader probe into alleged voter fraud in the county, highlighting concerns over election integrity.

Santana, who lost her bid to be a member of the Michigan State University Board of Trustees, filed a 53-page complaint about the convention's voting process, alleging that 200 individuals cast votes remotely, which is prohibited under the convention's rules. Cathy Albro, a former U.S. House candidate, had previously told The Detroit News that she voted in the convention's electronic voting system from her home.

Santana's investigation also found 302 voters who were not on the master voter list, and that 208 voters were registered to the same number with at least one other voter. The investigation also alleged votes being incorrectly tallied or not tallied at all.

Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald, who was vying to be the state's top law enforcer, lost to Washtenaw County Prosecutor Eli Savit for the party's attorney general nomination by a 59% to 41% vote. She took to Facebook to urge an independent audit of the election, backing Santana's complaint.

Not that it matters, in the end, for those of us who want fair elections. Pravda will back them up no matter how absurd their arguments. They will piously claim that elections are rigorously audited (they are not, and not even close), that everybody involved is pure as the driven snow, and that Republicans are the meanies. 

And they will go on cheating. 

What's happening in the Democratic Party is a factional battle for leadership in a crime organization. The Mafiosi are united against outsiders, but go to war with each other in the internal battle for power.
