This is legitimately felonious behavior.
The 2020 thread....
And the other Republican board member has all kinds of racist stuff on his social media… noticed not a word was said about how Detroit voted in 2016 and apparently there were machine issues then that really delayed the final count
Other boardie?
Is this unusual in 1 term
All but one member of the Fed's seven-member board has been nominated by Trump.
It is weird, on the things that seem to matter to regular people, they don't take a stand
but someone who is not right for the fed board, time for a spine
I was happy when they denied trump Stephen Moore…that guy's an idiot

Guys, I made some calls and Wayne County has now certified their votes.
Just once can Democracy be threatened without me stepping in?
Other Wayne county board member who voted against certification had lots of anti Muslim tweets to be found
And I guess when you get caught saying racist shit in the open people sit up and notice you and then this happens
BREAKING: The Wayne County Board of Canvassers has just unanimously voted to certify the results of the election & called on Michigan SOS Jocelyn Benson to conduct an audit of the unexplained precincts in Wayne County that did not match.

In this thread the MI SOS had already addressed this concern… this also covers that meeting

And idiot in chief started crowing about the deadlock minutes before they reversed course… and it sure seemed like a coordinated effort between the GOP and those board members
The wild thing about these “irregularities”, especially in light of the “we would certify everywhere but Detroit city” is the most irregular part of Wayne County’s vote is Livonia, not Detroit, by a MILE. Anyone want to guess the racial makeup of Livonia though. (Kosmo, don’t tell them…)
It’s exhausting
What gets me is the double standard
When the GOP gets away with shit like not holding hearings on Judge Garland people say “You see the Republicans fight hard!”
It’s like people justify it
When Democrats do 1/100th of what Republicans do: “You see! Democrats are the same! They are all politicians and all the same no matter side!”
So frustrating
Sometimes one can’t help but feel what we need are Democratic Party politicians like Trump and MCConnell but of course we are liberals…it’s inimical to our DNA

For an analogy I am reminded of that great line about how Ginger Rogers had to do everything Fred Astaire did but backwards and wearing high heels
Found out that board of canvassers aren’t even elected they are appointed so they can’t be voted out of their positions. Plus, there is an ethics complaint against Palmer for running a dark money PAC for candidates that are running in elections she over sees. Fun times and why local races and politics matter… also local media
I also expected a press conference today complete with White Lady Crocodile tears about how she is not a racist but was concerned about the irregularities, lather rinse repeat…
i wonder if their initial vote and "stand" will enable them to earn a One Stormy Daniels ($130,000) payout..

I like how Trump has created a new counting system
A Mooche - 11 Days
A Stormy - $130k
there have to be more…

i was looking to refresh my detroit centric wearables recently and ended up getting one of these… very fitting given last nights events
