Its begs the question why the SOS, whose primary purpose is to provide safe and fair elections and be nonpartisan would continue to refuse data requested by many professional organizations around the State. Especially from 2022 to present. She is stacking the deck for her own race for 2026 and the judiciary is already stacked. The rolls were supposed to be cleaned in 2022. She is allowing Counties to refuse to submit FOIA requests. 32% of the 83 counties in MI to be exact. Still the number of votes vs qualified voters is off by 8% or 80,000 votes; given 100% of the voters submitted ballots. Republicans are still banned from counting boards or made to leave before ballot drops. Why are there so many ABV ballots that appear at 5 am? There is not time stamp from postal service, no verification of signatures and the legal requirement of having one person from each party count these votes does not happen. If Slotkin beat Rogers by 40,000 votes it happened by the ABV’s. Voter protection has to be priority or no matter what our new GOP leadership accomplishes, it will not be in time for 2026. Unless by some miracle Patrick Colbert and Patrice Johnson get the proof needed, we are already set up to fail. Republicans need to pass voter registration laws and reform now The 2027 purge suits her and other democrats, and it will most likely show most are either deported or dead. She also said she would purge after the 2022 election, then in 2025, now it’s 2027. In reality, what is the new GOP leadership going to be able to accomplish with such little time and so many candidates who want the powerful seats? This is where we hurt ourselves. Unless the playing field has been cleaned, game rules changed; our chances of winning are … “Slim to none and slim just left town”

Trump was so popular at the rallies, Kamala really did pay people to attend hers; Benson refused to verify the election so her signature is not on the paper and 31% of counties refusing the FOIA requests. Like Biden getting 81 million votes in 2020. It doesn’t add up. I don’t care about Rogers, I care about 2026. They have been on the fast track to the destruction of Michigan since the election; Plan B or maybe A. Without the Teamsters endorsement no one would have bought an outright Kamala win. Trumps rallies and Town Halls were HUGE We were winning both houses but they squeaked by in Upper House, they conceded the Lower house and made sure Slotkin Look at the damage they were able to do and the really bad bills will never be repealed. We are fucked unless we can prevent fraud with new laws. GOP is divided, Egos are huge on both sides and Hall is soft 108% is a verifiable stat but until all data is in, it remains unbalanced. Not to mention Barbie is supervising her own election Losing fairly is one thing but this? If there was nothing to hide, then why keeping hiding it? We do not have traction and Liberals in MI want revenge. They will vote in droves while Republicans vacation. I know in my heart and soul they cheated, gave us this win bc they have the next 12–16 yrs planned . We are a bit too happy for my liking, nothing Trump is doing is permanent. No Stanley Cup yet Ok enough of my rant. I hope everyone is right and I really hope I am wrong, that MI GOP will somehow unify and we will keep MI red with the majority. I do not gamble but willing to on this one, and the odds are not in our favor

Benson Blunder Barbie is going to really formidable - the press will not question all the mayhem. That’s why we have to keep talking and walking people up.

And while 80000 votes doesn’t sound like a lot, you need to win by 1. People are too dismissive because fraud can only happen if the number is a scary one.

As far as I know Colbeck and Johnson are the only ones screaming about this still. The rest of the Rs do not want to discuss it. That was the problem in 22 and not all politicians are Trump and can overcome the cheat with overwhelming numbers. Peter’s was “Not Slotkin” yet was not charismatic and had an old guard go along to get along vibe.
