President-turned-failed blogger Donald Trump has been making unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election since November. Ivanka and Jared are said to be fed up with hearing about it. This is unlikely to deter him, but the conclusion of a Republican-led inquiry in Michigan — one of the main sites where he’s accused of helping “steal” his victory — has been disclosed. They discovered bupkis, as it turns out.
According to CNN, a Republican-led inquiry concluded that there was “no indication of widespread or systemic fraud” in November. According to CNN, they rejected reports that “deceased people or non-residents voted in the election, voting tabulators were compromised, ballots were collected, ballots were ‘dumped’ at the TCF Center in Detroit, and votes for Trump were moved in Antrim County.” Former Michigan residents had also voted, which was also proven incorrect.
However, there were a few incidents of tampering with the voting process. They go like this:
According to the report, there were two instances in Wayne County where someone seemed to vote but was actually deceased. One was a clerical error in which a 118-year-old father and his son had the same name. The other was a 92-year-old woman who passed away just a few days before the election.
The research was released after Michigan Republicans introduced proposals to alter the state’s election regulations, including demanding photo identification and limiting the hours during which ballots can be dropped off. (They are expected to be vetoed by Governor Gretchen Whitmer.) It also fell the day after Senate Republicans filibustered a Democratic-led effort to oppose such legislation. The former insist they’re only attempting to defend election integrity, while the latter accuse them of attempting to limit the number of people who can vote following a record turnout.
However, the Michigan Republicans who led the probe did not take it lightly, and they were not amused by the bogus allegations that former President Donald J. Trump and a sizable portion of his party continue to make.
“Further, the Committee is appalled at what can only be deduced as a willful ignorance or avoidance of this proof perpetuated by some leading such speculation,” the report read, adding, “The Committee strongly recommends citizens use a critical eye and ear toward those who have pushed demonstrably false theories for their own personal gain.”
