Yes, Michigan Really Lost

Donald Trump said fraud was the only reason he lost the election in 2020. Some even think Mr. Trump will be reinstated once the truth comes out. Anyone who finds this narrative at all enticing should take 30 minutes to read the investigation report posted last week by Michigan Republicans. Its only 35 pages.

The report is from the GOP state Senates Oversight Committee, which synthesized testimony from nearly 90 people, along with thousands of pages of subpoenaed documents. The chairman of the committees, Ed McBroom, was a Trump delegate at the 2016 GOP national convention, and in 2019 he was a guest at the White House, watching as Mr. Trump signed an executive order.

While the report identifies obvious weaknesses in our election system that need legislative remedy, it is not vigilant about misinformation and misinformation. As Democrats regained power after the 2016 election, Mr. McBroom wrote, they quickly used it all to spend two years chasing every conspiracy and complex allegation. He added: I pray that my own party does not repeat this mistake in the next four years.

The committee investigated the 200 alleged dead voters. Only two problems were found. One is a clerical error involving a father and son with the same name. Another was an absentee ballot submitted by a 92 -year -old, who then died four days before the election. That bad ballot should not have slipped, though the report said 3,500 similar votes were caught.

The Detroits count center received deliveries of ballots at 3:30 a.m. and 4:30 a.m., but inquiry found no evidence of fraud. An allegedly suspicious photo is a photo of a WXYZ-TV photographer pulling out his equipment. Also, look at the numbers: The number of voters in Wayne County (Detroit) rose just 11.4% last year, compared to 15.4% in the rest of Michigan, which seems not to have thrown fake ballots. President Trump received a higher share of Wayne Countys ’vote in 2020 than in 2016.
