2020 Presidential Election

A ‘Glitch’

Antrim County may have exposed a significant issue with voting during the 2020 Presidential election.

If it was not for a history of STRONG conservative voting in a Northern Michigan County, we might not have been aware of yet ONE more way in which Michigan’s vote is being manipulated.

This mornings discovery of a Biden win in Antrim County was by any estimation an amazing thing.  Literally ‘flipping’ the 70% GOP stronghold on its head, the vote gave the former president an unrealistic win over the popular President.  The county clerk somehow missed the obvious* after the tallies were made and the data reported up to the state.  From the Free Press:

Antrim County Clerk Sheryl Guy, a Republican who ran unopposed and won a third four-year term Tuesday in the strongly GOP county, said results on electronic tapes and a computer card were accurate but it appeared that some of the results were somehow scrambled after the cards were transported in sealed bags from township precincts to county offices and downloaded onto a computer.

In 2016, Trump won Antrim County with about 62% of the vote, compared to about 33% for Democrat Hillary Clinton. Trump beat Clinton by about 4,000 votes.

Last nights reported total had Biden beating Trump 7769 – 4409.

And to add a little perspective on this, I would wager that at least 4500 Antrim County folks were present for the Trump Rally Monday.  In fact the county is SO PRO TRUMP, they sent logging trucks to assist in the rally prep, providing additional walls for the event and protection of our President.

Anyone familiar with this part of the state would immediately recognize the numbers as being suspect.  It certainly calls for a complete and intensive investigation, and reminds us that election integrity in Michigan is not guaranteed.  Officials might claim that the system worked and we caught it this time, but somehow this rings a little untrue.  What would have happened I wonder – if the predisposition of the county to the GOP was less known?

Are we really surprised?

This really shouldn’t have come as a surprise to anyone.

Even Little Stevie Wonder could’ve see this one coming!

Despite all of the information to the contrary (along with the BEST efforts of the Michigan Sec. of State to screw things up as much as humanly possible…THANK YOU  Jocelyn Benson), what simply should’ve been a formality, meaning counting ballots and giving us a clear indication of who won last night, was turned into a huge dumpster fire that is still ablaze as you are reading this post the morning after the election.

Multiple tabulators going down in Northern Macomb County, local/statewide media who are still “awaiting a definitive count” before reporting what we all know to be true and this isn’t even going too much into the legal clown show that will ensue once those numbers ARE released to the public.

I’m going to go into this more detail on this later (I’m still very tired for obvious reasons).

Keep the faith, True Believers and stay tuned.

Trump In Traverse City

Some photos from Traverse City November 02, 2020.

Donald Trump is a machine.

Not only is HE a machine, they clearly have a machine working full time to manage the logistics of the Dozens of last rallies.  Managing 10s of thousands of rally goers and getting the president in and out of each event is mind boggling.

The only possible trouble his team might have had is evidenced by the President joking with the tech crew in Wisconsin as I type this. His management skills, or those of whomever he chooses are clearly superior.  Especially when one considers getting a 70+ year old guy to each of said evens in one piece, and having him remain coherent and understandable.

Incredible.

I want to give a shout out to the RBSN folks for a second.  (See pic at right)  These guys have made it possible to watch most of the Trump rallies out of sheer tenacity and showing up.  They have overcome technical issues and done what NONE of the other networks were willing to do; namely bringing the immensely popular president to those with an internet connection when ‘regular’ media refused.  God bless em for being able to keep up with Trump.

And Trump’s stamina notwithstanding, the throngs of supporters seemed to make all necessary efforts to attend the rush of gatherings scheduled iin the last days of the 2020 election cycle.   All these things were attended ‘bigly.’

Donald Trump JR In Traverse City

Jr, joined by Ted Nugent et al made an amazing speech in TC today!

Unscripted and impactful!

When folks started to arrive the temperatures were about 35 degrees, and the wind was blowing hard.  The sun was shining however, and the Saturday Traverse City matinee to the main event Monday could not have been better. Donald Trump Junior blew it up!

General Jack Bergman (incumbent/candidate CD1), and John Roth (candidate R-104) opened the event, and were followed up with Ted Nugent and Cam Hanes doing warm up for the son of our President.  A warm up I might add, that was both entertaining, (Think hunting stories about truck beds full of goats) but not even necessary!

The President’s progeny brought it home.

Encore!

Trump's last stop before winning in 2016 will cap this year's effort as well!

In 2016, tens of thousands of folks in Grand Rapids gathered to wish the President well for the following day’s vote.

Trump won in Michigan by less than ONE vote per voting precinct, and won the election overall.  Grand Rapids was his ‘lucky charm so-to-speak.

Make no mistake about it, the president is working twice as hard this year, and his efforts will see him TWICE in Michigan on the same day, the second time returning for an encore ‘WRAP UP’ with his friends in Grand Rapids.

The First event in Michigan will be at 5PM in Traverse City.  I will of course be there to report and gather pictures, but those of you who want to travel can make your plans HERE

The Grand Rapids event will be at 1030PM reminding us of how late it ran in 2016.  It also reminds us of how hard President Trump is willing to work for us!  Make your plans HERE!

Gather your friends and make those events!

Have fun!

Republican Schutzstaffel – Reporting for duty!

Senator Shirkey and Speaker Chatfield must be so proud of themselves.

I’m not sure how long this link will last before it gets ‘scrubbed” by Facebook.

See for yourselves.

You rights don’t apply here. Where do you think you’re at? America?

Uh oh, someone was watching!

If this isn’t a huge red flag on why democrats, ESPECIALLY Gov. Witless, needs to be watched like a hawk (because the Republican Caucuses in the Michigan House & Senate certainly aren’t up to the task), I don’t know what is.

And what is it that our glorious and revered empress is up to this week?

Wasn’t that YOUR job???

Senate Majority Leader Shirkey is taking to the interwebs, and here on social media, this week in order to engender support to re-open Michigan for business.

Say, didn’t they hold a session in the Michigan Senate just last Tuesday to take action on this very topic?

Can anyone tell me how that went?

Now he wants us to call Gov. Witless’ office to complain?

Did your smoke-filled backroom deal with her people not go according to plan Sen. Shirkey?

Me??? Showing actual leadership.
