Michigan: "Organized" effort of The Lincoln Project cited as example of witness, lawyer intimidation in election challenge case

 As brave Americans put their lives, fortune and sacred honor on the line to come forward and give sworn testimony in the legal challenges to the outcome of the Presidential election in Michigan, an emergency motion to seal was filed by the plaintiffs in U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Michigan.

Why? Are there examples of threats and intimidation tactics already out in the public domain that would convince a judge to protect the anonymity and physical security of these witnesses?

Yes indeedy there are!

"Three of Plaintiffs witnesses are in reasonable fear of harassment and threats to their physical safety and their livelihoods in retaliation for their coming forward with their testimony...

There was an organized campaign by The Lincoln Project to destroy the business relationships of major law firms with their clients for having the temerity to represent the President of the United States in these (election) controversies."

As Fox News reported on November 13:

Two attorneys representing the Trump campaign's legal battle in Pennsylvania have pulled out of a federal lawsuit filed on behalf of the campaign.

U.S. District Judge Matthew W. Brann on Friday granted Porter Wright Morris & Arthur attorneys Carolyn McGee's and Ronald Hicks' motion to withdraw from a lawsuit filed Monday alleging "irregularities" affecting the 2020 presidential election.

"Plaintiffs and Porter Wright have reached a mutual agreement that plaintiffs will be best served if Porter Wright withdraws," the motion reads. "Plaintiffs are in the process of retaining and causing other counsel to enter an appearance herein."

The news comes three days after The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump super PAC that was founded in 2019 by an outspoken group of "Never Trump" Republicans, posted McGee's and Hicks' contact information to their 2.7 million Twitter followers with the message, "Make them famous," along with an emoji depicting a skull and crossbones.

Twitter removed the post for violating its policies against abusive behavior.

The Lincoln Project also instructed Twitter users to create a LinkedIn account for the sole purpose of messaging employees at Porter Wright and Jones Day, another firm representing the Trump campaign in Pennsylvania, to "ask them how they can work for an organization trying to overturn the will of the American people." The account then posted screenshots of messages from users who followed the instructions.

Michigan: meet the cowardly Wayne County Board of Canvassers UPDATE: Votes to certify rescinded? See the affidavits

All eyes were on Wayne County Commissioners Board of Canvassers Court who convened yesterday to canvass and certify the results of the November 3 election. 

Early media accounts noted the board members voted in a 2-2 tie but then THIS happened:

BREAKING VIDEO:

The exact moment Democrat Abraham Aiyash threatened Monica Palmer's children on zoom. This extortion attempt directly influenced the decision to agree to certify the election fraud in #WayneCounty.@TheJusticeDept @JackPosobiec @DonaldJTrumpJr @realDonaldTrump pic.twitter.com/vDGiFIwmOf

— Miss Michigan (@correctthemedia) November 18, 2020

Bottom line? The two members harassed by fellow board members Aiyash and Staebler caved. Palmer and Hartmann failed in their duty and voted under duress.

Amid the lawsuits; the missing thumb drives and machine "glitches", ballot drop-box video and a Michigan Court of claims order that was not final- Wayne County Board of Canvassers voted 4-0 to certify the results (under oath! ) of the November 3 general election.

They will be written into the history books as four of the most cowardly elected officials you've ever read about.

UPDATE: The two Republican Board members rescind their votes. Read the affidavits here.

Judge denies plaintiff effort to block Michigan vote certification; watch for the media spin UPDATE: GOP state senators chime in

Earlier today Michigan Judge Timothy Kenny denied a legal effort to block the states vote certification. Big Media and Swampy lawyers count on the possibility you do not have access to these documents. This is why I publish them for you when other news sites lack the courage to do so.

Watch for the "spin" from voices this is a loss for President Trump and sound gleeful about a loss for the Trump campaign. .

On the contrary when you read the opinion you'll notice the plaintiffs who filed the action (case 20-014-780-AW; Third Judicial Court of Michigan) are Costantino and McCall, NOT the Trump campaign.

The two plaintiffs now have a legal document from Judge Timothy Kenny describing the Michigan election process as unwieldy, the wishes of the people expressed through their state legislature must prevail and cannot be changed at the whim of a judge through judicial fiat.

Page 11 reads:

"it would be an unprecedented exercise of judicial activism for this court to stop the certification process of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers. The Court cannot defy a legislatively crafted process, substitute its judgement for the legislature and appoint an independent auditor  because of an unwieldy process. 

In addition to being an unwarranted intrusion on the authority of the legislature, such an audit would require the rest of the County and State to wait on the results. Remedies are provided to the Plaintiffs. Any unhappiness with MCL 168.31a (a results audit passed by the state legislature) calls for legislative action rather than judicial intervention.

Plaintiffs can go to the Wayne County Board of Canvassers. If they are dissatisfied with the results Plaintiffs can avail themselves of the legal remedy of a recount and a Secretary of State audit pursuant to MCL168.31a"

Here's the best part. See the highlighted portion about attending the October 29th walk-through of the TCF Center.

This is not a final order and does not close the case.

Remember the letter County Examiner shared yesterday? 

Hmmm. Judge Kenny wagged his finger at the Plaintiffs for not attending the October 29 TCF walk-through. What was Clerk Winfrey's response to the letter below. Can you connect the dots yet?

UPDATE: GOP State Senators from Michigan chimed in requesting the full audit be completed before the election results are certified.

Trump Michigan lawsuit exhibit: "Zoom" is not a adequate public test of the accuracy of voting machines

Yesterday the Donald J Trump campaign issued a press release announcing the filing of a lawsuit in Federal court; in the Western District of Michigan. PACER (Case 1:20-cv-01083) 

The case is styled Donald J. Trump for President et al v Benson et al and there is a related case in another court;  1:20-CV-522. The suit seeks to stop certification of Michigan election results.

UPDATED Nov 12: two new docket entries in PACER. One indicates the case 1:20-CV-522 is not related and the second reflects Case 1:20-cv-01083 is assigned to Judge Janet Neff.

The defendants are:

1. Jocelyn Benson, in her official capacity as Michigan Secretary of State
2. The Michigan Board of State Canvassers
3. Wayne County, MI, and
4. Wayne County Board of County Canvassers

On October 28th, 6 days prior to Election Day and the day BEFORE public testing of voting machies and a walk-through of the TCF were to take place, a representative of the Trump campaign Michigan Election Day Operations wrote the following letter to the City of Detroit Clerk:

Ask yourself what was the justification for conducting the voting machine accuracy test via Zoom on October 29, when an IN-Person walk through of the TCF Center the same day was A-OK?

COVID?

Remember: the " Swampy lawyers" keep screaming there's no evidence!"

Shall we wait for the response from the City of Detroit Clerk and see what THEY had to say?

Michigan: Electoral College Timelines looming as November 17 deadline draws near with lawsuits filed

The Electoral College milestone of December 14th is right around the corner. It is the date by which the states are to count and certify popular vote results according to their respective state laws and procedures.

In order for a state secretary of state to meet that deadline, a county, city, school district, water district ---and every special purpose district on that ballot must canvass their results, meet and certify the results of that election.

The Detroit Free Press in Michigan reports on the key date of November 17 looming for all counties across the state.

"Election results are set to be certified at the county level on Nov. 17 and statewide on Nov. 23, barring intervention by a judge. Michigan's chosen slate of participants in the electoral college will formally cast their votes for Biden in December. He will assume the presidency in January."

Big Media in Michigan doesn't get to decide who won the Presidential Election. And County Examiner suggested readers look for indications the counties, states would have difficulties meeting those deadlines.

But it's become clear why Big Media rushed to push Joe Biden over the finish line last Saturday November 7th.

It was an effort to get a media narrative out in front of the American people knowing the day prior---on November 6th---Michigan Court of Claims Judge Cynthia Diane Stephens---Case No. 20-000225-issued an opinion and order--that not enough evidence was presented by the Trump campaign and that it was all hearsay.

Isn't that was everyone is screaming about? There's not enough!, there's not enough!

Judge Stephens also wrote the Trump campaign complaint and emergency motion were not filed until approximately 4:00 p.m. on November 4, 2020— despite being announced to various media outlets much earlier in the day. By the time this action was filed, the votes had largely been counted, and the counting was complete.

Is she saying they completed their count on Election Day? Hmmm.

But hers was not a FINAL ORDER. Nor did it close the case or resolve the "ballot drop box video" claims.

Meanwhile earlier this morning the Trump campaign filed a lawsuit in the Western District of Michigan ---in Federal Court ---with what they hope will be "enough"---testimony of challengers and words of Michigan's very own Secretary of State about media drives and machine "glitches", seeking to stop certification of Michigan election results until defendants have verified and confirmed ballots were cast and tabulated in accord with the law and to ensure no unlawful ballots were cast.

And that complaint addresses the "drop box video issue" too. 

Will this be "enough"? Enough to get to a "discovery phase? Enough to force the exclusion of ballots counted on defective machines with defective software from the tally? Enough to demonstrate ballots should be hand counted to ensure an accurate count?

Or is the Michigan election so systemically corrupted all eyes will turn to their state legislature? 

Watch Maria Bartiromo explain there's 69,000-115,000 ballots in question in Michigan.

EVIDENCE: Michigan officials start eating their own as Trump campaign files suit in MI

Today the Donald J. Trump re-election campaign filed a federal lawsuit in Michigan citing multiple witness accounts of irregularities, incompetence, and unlawful vote counting. The suit also documents how defendant Wayne County used faulty ballot tabulators that miscounted votes for President Trump as votes for the Biden-Harris ticket.

From the Press release:

"The federal suit was filed in the Western District of Michigan against Wayne County and the Michigan Secretary of State on behalf of Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. and individual Michigan citizens and voters seeking declaratory and emergency injunctive relief. With this lawsuit, we seek to stop certification of Michigan election results until defendants have verified and confirmed ballots were cast and tabulated in accord with the law and to ensure no unlawful ballots were cast."

The complaint and exhibits can be found here.

Key points:

1. As outlined in the complaint, in the State of Michigan Secretary of State Benson and Michigan officials have responsibility to ensure only legal ballots cast by lawful voters are counted in a uniform manner across the entire state.  (page 14) Challengers testified this did not happen in Wayne County (home of Detroit)
2. The Michigan Elections Officials Manual instructs local officials that if a ballot is rejected by a tabulation machine, the ballot must be duplicated onto a new ballot and this duplication process observed by bi-partisan observers. Challengers testified the duplication process was not observed by bi-partisan teams as required by the Manual.
3. In October Michigan changed election code to allow for multiple mail ballots drop box locations, however only the lawful voter may be in possession of the ballot to drop it into the drop-box. Additionally Michigan election code requires local official who set up theses mail ballot drop-box locations must use video monitoring to monitor that process.
4. Secretary of State Benson made a public statement blaming the Wayne County clerk for not updating "media drives". (page 21-22)
5. In Oakland County a Democrat  was wrongly declared the winner of a commissioner race by 104 votes. After a computer issue caused the double-counting of votes, the Republican in the race became the winner by a vote count of over 1100 votes. (Page 22-23)

There are many more issues.

To summarize, the lawsuit seeks to prevent Wayne County from including unlawful ballots in their canvassing procedures and asks Wayne County to exclude ballots counted on defective machines with defective software from the tally or letting the county hand count these ballots to ensure an accurate count.

County Examiner suggested readers watch for signals that counties and states would have "difficulty" meeting Electoral College Timelines.

Exit questions: how many votes were counted in Wayne County for Joe Biden? How many for President Trump? Current status here. Over 600,000. 

• Can Wayne County count these ballots by hand and produce an accurate count in accordance with the Electoral College Timeline? Hmmm.
• Expect the Left and Big Media to scream "but there's not enough votes to change the outcome!"
• But is there a preponderance of the evidence for a judge to grant discovery? Depositions of Secretary Benson and other election officials under oath? Production of manuals, emails, machine testing & certification records in the possession of election officials? Will chain of custody issues surface? 

UPDATE: The filings, exhibits are in PACER. Case 1:20-cv-01083
