“As this news unfolds it’s worth reminding that in 2020 Michigan was first among the battlegrounds to go in the certification calendar. Had Trump succeeded in delaying or preventing a county or statewide certification in Michigan, that precedent would have been used to delay or block certification in Pennsylvania (which was certifying the following week), Georgia and so on, paving the way for the false slate of electors. We knew we were the first domino to go and that what Michigan did would impact the others,” tweeted Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson on Wednesday after the Detroit News’s story on now-former President Trump’s efforts to pressure the two Republican Wayne County canvassers to walk back their certification of the 2020 vote.
Benson also posted a much lengthier tweet saying how proud she was that people had showed up to protest the two MAGA asshole canvassers – one of whom died of COVID in November 2021 because he was an anti-vaxxer – refusing to initially do their jobs and the uproar supposedly prevented American democracy from suffering far worse damage than it was in this timeline.
That’s some wacky speculation, right? Like how is Benson any better than the MAGA conspiracy freaks who think Venezuela built a supercomputer that beamed its “STEAL_ELECTION.exe” sixth-order polynomial protocol to the Italian satellites and then back down to the Chinese thermostats that infected the Dominion tabulators? What makes any of the shit she’s saying here more plausible than that? Stupid Dems getting a pass just because it’s a “rational inference given the facts at hand” or “logical assessment of the available evidence.” This is why everything feels rigged against MAGA!
Ahem. You know who’s been silent since the news broke? Ronna Not-Romney. Yeah she hasn’t tweeted anything nor made any media appearances to address a recording for which she just might kind of be facing criminal liability for telling the two MAGA canvassers the RNC would cover their legal fees if they faced lawsuits or charges for unlawfully halting the vote certification.
