First off, how did these two unqualified bumpkins get on the Board of Canvassers? What have they been doing for the past two weeks? They realize they have a job, right and that they're not just there to collect a pay cheque? The canvass began on November 4, 2020 at 1:00 p.m. and they had 14 days to do it. What have they been doing?

And how are they so fucking dumb that neither of them bothered to read the manual that explains their job, what they're supposed to do, and what their options are? Why do I know more about their jobs after half an hour than they do?

This kind of shit just pisses me off and it looks so bad in court.

COMMENCEMENT AND COMPLETION OF CANVASS:

A canvass conducted on the county level must be completed within 14 calendar days after its commencement. ( MCL 168.822) The commencement date of a canvass depends on the type of primary or election held.

a) After an August primary, a November general election or a presidential primary, the Board of County Canvassers must meet to begin the canvass at 1:00 p.m. on the day after the primary or election. (MCL 168.821)

FAILURE TO PERFORM CANVASSING DUTIES:

The authority for canvassing and certifying the votes cast at a primary or election is transferred as described below if the canvassing board responsible for the completion of the work fails to perform its duties within the allotted time period.

If a Board of County Canvassers fails to canvass and/or certify within 14 calendar days after the commencement of the canvass the votes cast for and against a ballot issue or on any office voted on within the county, the Board immediately delivers all of the necessary forms and documents to the Secretary of State. The Board of State Canvassers is then responsible for completing the remaining work involved within 10 calendar days after the Secretary of State’s receipt of the records. The county is responsible for the costs the Board of State Canvassers incurs in completing the canvass and certification. The Board of State Canvassers may enlist the assistance of the Board of County Canvassers to complete the remaining work involved.

SCOPE OF AUTHORITY WHEN CONDUCTING CANVASS: When conducting a canvass of votes, the Board of County Canvassers has the authority to take any of the actions listed below:

1. Adjourn from day to day as necessary during the course of the canvass.

2. Employ assistants as needed to assist in the conduct and completion of the canvass.

3. Direct that any records related to the election be presented at the canvass.

4. Open ballot containers to remove any records related to the election which were inadvertently secured in the ballot containers. (The Board does not have the authority to remove the ballots secured in the ballot boxes.)

5. Correct obvious mathematical errors made by the election inspectors or other canvassing boards. (All corrections should be made in red ink next to the inaccurate entries; no white out shall be used and mistakes should not be erased!)

6. Direct the election inspectors or county clerk staff (see alternative process below) to correct precinct records found to be incorrect or incomplete.

Special Note: The purpose of a canvass is to verify the proper completion of the records related to the election at hand. The investigation of alleged election law violations is not a part of the canvass. Consequently, the Board of County Canvassers does not have the authority to pass upon the legality of an election. In McQuade v Furgason, 91 Mich 438 (1892), the Michigan Supreme Court stated:“(I)t is the settled law of this State that canvassing boards are bound by the return, and cannot go behind it, especially for the purpose of determining frauds in the election. Their duties are purely ministerial and clerical....”For further information on the scope of a Board of County Canvassers’ authority when canvassing an election, refer to Attorney General Opinion No. 6230, issued on June 14, 1984
