MI Supreme Court is rejecting bid to prevent certification because certification is already complete. In order, they say this does not prevent you in any way from challenging certification after the fact and getting an audit. They telegraph that they find the evidence of voter fraud to be SERIOUS, TROUBLING, and SUBSTANTIATED.

From order -->

Nothing said is to diminish the troubling and serious allegations of fraud and irregularities asserted by the affiants offered by plaintiffs, among whom is Ruth Johnson, Michigan’s immediate past Secretary of State, who testified that, given the “very concerning” “allegations and issues raised by Plaintiffs,” she “believe[s] that it would be proper for an independent audit to be conducted as soon as possible to ensure the accuracy and integrity of th[e] election.” Plaintiffs’ affidavits present evidence to substantiate their allegations, which include claims of ballots being counted from voters whose names are not contained in the appropriate poll books, instructions being given to disobey election laws and regulations, the questionable appearance of unsecured batches of absentee ballots after the deadline for receiving ballots, discriminatory conduct during the counting and observation process, and other violations of the law.... This development would seem to impose at least some obligation upon plaintiffs both to explain why a constitutional audit is still required after the Secretary of State conducts the promised process audit and to address whether there is some obligation on their part to identify a specific “law” in support of Const 1963, art 2, §4(1)(h) that prescribes the specific “manner” in which an audit pursuant to that provision must proceed

Yeah, but would an audit affect the results at this point? Or is it just a pipe dream that they are pretending will be conducted fairly later during a Biden admin?

This is the crux in a few states. What is the effect if an audit if it exposes fraud after results were certified?

Doesn't that piss you off? "Well, we know this thing was fishy, there's evidence of rigging everywhere we look, but what's done is done... ballots are mixed in and we can't overturn, you know, the system and stuff... but maybe we can do it right next time if we feel like it, I don't know, we'll see."

Like, give me a fucking break. This is RIDICULOUS.

Please don't compare us in MI to a banana republic. That would be very unfair to banana republics everywhere.

Yeah, if the Republican state legislatures have sufficient backbones. Wanna guess how that'll probably go?

It doesn't rely on them defying the "will of the people" if the courts rule our way. They don't even have to award us the votes—they just have to not award them to Biden.

Phil_DeGraves 3 points ago +3 / -0

Good point. A court ruling basically saying "holy shit it was rigged as hell!" would provide sufficient cover for Republican state legislators to withstand the MSM's "TeH WILL oF tHe PeOpLe!!!!" screaming.

10
theflabmaster 10 points ago +10 / -0

They discuss that in the document. If evidence of fraud is found that is enough to overturn the election, that then has to be used in further court proceedings to overturn the election. After the results are certified, they can no longer be "uncertified" the court would have to see the evidence from an audit and then decided to nullify the election.

The judges say that your question is one that needs to be adjudicated. In fact, they say it is such an important question (what does an audit look like?) that they have ordered all court offices to expedite follow up cases having to do with vote fraud in the 2020 election.

Opus2317 2 points ago +2 / -0

I think it could. Technically, the legislature can appoint whatever slate of electors they want. Generally, they’ll appoint these electors based upon the certified results of the election and usually there’s little issue because a winner can be clearly determined.

This election is different however due to the unprecedented number of mail-in/absentee ballots combined with the highly polarized political atmosphere.

So in order for the state legislators to appoint a different set of electors than what the “certified” vote indicates, they would need ample evidence and political cover to either a.) appoint a different slate of electors or b.) not send any electors at all.

It may in fact be more politically viable for the state legislators to aim for option B as it would then shift the “heat” to the US House of Representives. Only time will tell how willing state legislators are to take a stand—the public hearings will certainly help a lot within the realm of public opinion, which is HUGELY important to get these guys and calls to shirk precedent

your link, Democracy Docket, is Marc Elias' website. Elias was Hillary's general counsel

maybe you'd like to archive the relevant page instead of sending TD.W clicks their way

i haven't the foggiest idea

here's archive link to the democracydocket's about page: https://archive.is/MFb5Q

relevant part:

Democracy Docket was created by Marc Elias to serve as an extension of his voting rights and redistricting litigation and advocacy. Following the Supreme Court’s ruling in Shelby County v. Holder, Republicans made clear that they no longer supported voting rights.

IMMORTAN_TRUMP 7 points ago +7 / -0 (edited)

Because the left are morons, and they see that the 'plaintiffs' (Trump campaign) motion is denied and automatically assume they won. But had they read the full order they would realize that he only denied the motion because there's no law in MI against an audit after the certification. Kinda of a screw up on the plaintiffs part because the judge's interpretation of the law seems to suggest that it actually HAS to be certified prior to requesting an audit, but either way the Judge does seem to be concerned about the anomalies.

Agree there is encouraging language here.

However please note there are 7 members of the MI Supreme Court.

The order of 4 of them, a majority, was simply to deny the injunction.

This opinion is a concurring opinion of 1 of the 7 justices, and a second joined. A third judge disagreed with denying the injunction in the dissenting opinion.

So only 3 of the 7 judges said anything encouraging.

Doesn’t mean we can’t win after the audit but we should all know what we are reading.

Can hackers on our side block their doxxing attempt? Im not good with computers, I have no idea what I am talking about, just know there is a savvy internet army somewhere inhere.

No, that can't be reasonably done.

TrumpsBigBalls 3 points ago +3 / -0

unfortunately there is not a way to block another individual from posting personal information. The best way to prevent doxxing is to remain anon, which of course is impossible in some cases.

miyamoto 3 points ago +3 / -0

Be sure to read the dissenting opinion, which points out things that should be obvious. Specifically, Justice Viviano identifies what the concurring Justices overlook, that not all audits are equal. Some audits are designed to improve the process for future elections, others are designed to ensure the accuracy of current elections. The latter type is obviously what the plaintiffs are advocating for and would be appropriate here. The concurring opinion assumes all types are of the former type.

Perhaps the Plaintiffs can amend their complaint to specifically identify and request the audit Justice Viviano is talking about.

Either way, even though it lends some. credibility to the claims of fraud, I find the concurring opinion extremely disingenuous.

MushBrains2020 2 points ago +3 / -1

Wow, I was reading through this case last night and it seemed pretty weak. Most of the plaintiff's "witness testimony" was easily refuted by a defense expert who essentially said "this only looked like fraud because the witness doesn't understand the process". For example, the one who swore she was told to backdate ballots didn't know that the date at that particular step in the process is irrelevant. Or the one who said people were given second ballots after not cancelling their first (impossible according to the defense witness).

It's totally possible the defense witness was ignorant or full of shit himself, but that wasn't my impression.

3
tremendous_trump2020 3 points ago +3 / -0

The defense “witness” wasn’t there at the time, all be can do is assume they were backdating something irrelevant or at a different step in the process when the witnessed saw what they saw. Regardless, why backdate anything whether it’s relevant or not? Why not check out the ballots in question to verify? As far as it being “impossible” to get a second ballot, that’s a lie. Perhaps it’s impossible if you’re following the rules, but it’s been proven that the fraudsters have managed to find ways around the rules.
