Legislature in a Battleground State Calls an Emergency Session Over Voting Irregularities
The Michigan Legislature on Saturday held a joint hearing of the House and Senate Oversight Committees, a rare occurrence. The session was called after reports of potential fraud taking place in the presidential election. One of the main ones was a software glitch that caused 6,000 votes in Antrim County to be incorrectly counted for Joe Biden. Once the a hand-count had taken place, those 6,000 votes went to President Trump. The Michigan Secretary of State, however, has said that this was “human error,” not a “software glitch.” . . .
“Every single legal vote needs to be counted, regardless of who cast it or who they voted for. And then the candidate who wins the most of those votes will win Michigan’s electoral votes, just like it always has been. Nothing about that process will change in 2020,” Michigan House Speaker Lee Chatfield (R-Levering) said in a statement.
“America’s democracy is sacred, and safe and secure elections are how we protect it. That is why the House and Senate oversight committees will begin hearings soon looking into the voting and counting process in our state to give everyone confidence in the results and to make sure the next election runs much more smoothly,” Chatfield said. “The people of Michigan deserve peace of mind, and we are going to provide it.”
The legislature ended up slapping state election officials with a subpoena for documents related to the state’s election process, the Detroit Free Press reported. (Read more from “Legislature in a Battleground State Calls an Emergency Session Over Voting Irregularities” HERE)
