The Hysterical Left Goes to War With Trump

There is no way out of our contemporary crisis without struggle, pain, and sacrifice

Dana Nessel, Michigan’s Democratic Attorney General, announced in July that she is pursuing felony charges against the individuals who claimed to be Trump electors from the state in the 2020 election.

Among those charged is the head of the Republican National Committee’s chapter in Michigan, Kathy Berden, as well as the former co-chair of the Michigan Republican Party, Meshawn Maddock, and Shelby Township Clerk Stan Grot.

On average, these electors are in their early 70s. Each is being charged with eight felonies which range from a maximum of five to 14 years in prison. If convicted, many of these individuals are likely to die in prison. Their alleged crime? Claiming that they were the lawful electors from the state of Michigan in documents sent to Congress and the National Archives after the 2020 election. For this, they are being charged with multiple counts of election fraud, forgery, and conspiracy.

This is an utterly absurd and vicious political prosecution. The pro-Trump slate of electors was ignored by Congress. There was no fraud perpetrated. These patriotic Michigan citizens argued, correctly, that Trump won the state of Michigan, in part, because in 2020, Jocelyn Benson, Michigan’s secretary of state, illegally sent absentee ballot applications to every voter in Michigan.

The relevant statute, MCL 168.759(3), states clearly that only the voter is allowed to ask for a mail-in ballot application. Benson ignored the law and thereby cast doubt upon the legitimacy of the election. Mail-in ballots on this scale are not trustworthy. There is no way to ensure that the person who is supposed to fill out the ballot in fact did so. Shotgunning mail-in ballots across the state destabilized Michigan elections beyond the tipping point.

The 16 Michigan citizens being prosecuted are patriots. It is Jocelyn Benson and Dana Nessel who should be charged with fraud and conspiracy.

Unfortunately, however, we live in clown world. Leftists get away with accusing their enemies of doing what they, in fact, are guilty of doing. They love to rub it in their political opponents’ faces. The ritual humiliation is part of the fetish.

Show trial.

These patriotic Michigan citizens argued, correctly, that Trump won the state of Michigan, in part, because in 2020, Jocelyn Benson, Michigan’s secretary of state, illegally sent absentee ballot applications to every voter in Michigan.

Now, hold it.

Since when does it follow that if the election is invalid (and the illegal use of absentee ballots is enough alone to invalidate it), someone else can just be declared winner? If anything, the election should have been thrown out, but that means no election happened, and if there was no election, there was no winner. If enough states operated with such brazenly unlawful election tactics, dropping the winning candidate to under 270 electoral votes (and let's face it, the number of states that manipulated their elections through emergency powers would've likely made it impossible for anyone to reach 270), the election goes to the Congress.

Mike Pence argued that he didn't have the authority to invalidate the election—but this was exactly the kind of situation why a person has to actively certify the decisions. It's a position of oversight, a fail-safe to stop such chicanery. He, and the rest of Congress, were derelict.
