In some banana-republic-like maneuvers against dissidents ahead of election time, the State of Michigan has charged 16 Republican state electors with multiple felonies for allegedly attempting to “overturn” the results of the 2020 election.

Their crime? Reacting to the obvious fraud that happened right before their eyes in that hotly disputed election.

But that’s not how the Michigan attorney general playing her own version of Vyshinsky put it.

According to J.J. Sefton at Ace of Spades:

‘); googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-1609270365559-0’); }); document.write(”); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.pubads().addEventListener(‘slotRenderEnded’, function(event) { if (event.slot.getSlotElementId() == “div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3035”) { googletag.display(“div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3035”); } }); }); }

In Michigan, two of the people who have the most to say about vote-counting are the governor and the attorney general. At the time it was Gretchen “Wretched” Whitmer and Dana Nessel. They’re still there. And by all indications they are champing at the bit to deliver Michigan on a platter to the Democrat nominee.

Sefton cited this news item:

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel filed felony charges against 16 Michigan Republicans who allegedly tried to overturn the state’s 2020 election in favor of President Donald Trump.

Each defendant faces the following charges:

  • One count of Conspiracy to Commit Forgery, a 14-year felony,
  • Two counts of Forgery, a 14-year felony,
  • One count of Conspiracy to Commit Uttering and Publishing, a 14-year felony,
  • One count of Uttering and Publishing, a 14-year felony,
  • One count of Conspiracy to Commit Election Law Forgery, a 5-year felony, and,
  • Two counts of Election Law Forgery, a 5-year felony.

    Nessel claimed the 16 Republicans tried to “interfere in the 2020 election to reject the will of the voters. 

Which is highly strange stuff, given that this kind of prosecution for protesting the way an election was conducted has never been done, and what’s worse, this kind of protest itself is nothing new, as Democrats have done it with alacrity, most notably in 2016. Sefton notes that Michigan had several instances of profoundly suspect activity in its electoral apparat in 2020, as seen in its illegal casting out of election observers from the counting, something even famous electoral fraudster Hugo Chavez didn’t do, and blocking observation from windows by covering them up with cardboard pizza boxes. Anyone doing that obviously has something going on that he or she doesn’t want electoral observers seeing. Sefton also notes suspect truck activity on video suggesting ballot fraud.
