Michigan Republicans Allowed Unknown Third Parties To Illegally Access Voting Machines

An ongoing investigation in the state of Michigan has revealed that in multiple areas of the state - all controlled by Republicans - unknown "third parties" were given access to voting machines and other equipment used in the 2020 election. This is absolutely illegal, hence the investigation, and it shows that Republicans have absolutely no regard for our processes or our democratic system. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened and what the investigation is looking for.

According to a new investigation taking place in the state of Michigan, Donald Trump's allies in the state elected Republican officials allowed third parties that they didn't really even know to access voting equipment in at least three Republican controlled counties. So far this investigation, which has now reached the level where police have seized some of this equipment as part of their ongoing investigation, that centers around these Republicans that allowed this to happen. But what we know is that in these three counties that are controlled by Republicans, Donald Trump won by large, large margins. Okay. There was no question. There was no contest. Donald Trump easily won these conservative areas in the state of Michigan. But what happens so far as we know is that these Republican officials that oversaw these counties and districts still weren't happy, they believed Donald Trump's big lie. Some of them actually participated in the lawsuits in the states seeking to overturn the state's election results.

But again, the big problem is that they allowed these quote third parties to come in and take voting equipment with them, which right there on its face is 100% illegal. These officials didn't even know who these people were according to the investigation right now. Now it may come out later that they did know who they were, but again, these were counties, Trump won. So there would've been no reason for these individuals, especially after a state audit had already proved. There was no widespread fraud, cuz this happened after that. So you already had confirmation from the Republican controlled legislature that there was no widespread fraud. The Republicans, uh, uh, commissioned that audit no fraud. Trump won these counties, but you still said, Hey, strangers, come on in, take this home with you, go look through it, see what you can find a hundred percent illegal and people will probably be going to jail for this.

But I don't think that those third parties that took that equipment were looking for fraud my best guess. And again, this is purely a guess from me. My best guess is that they were trying to create fraud, not even necessarily in this particular election, they took vote count tabulators they took hard drives. They took all kinds of things that they could access and figure out how to access again, remotely in the future. That's where my concern lies. I mean, we're almost talking about a bit of a, you know, reverse engineering process here. If we get the machine,

If we the machine, if we know how to get into the machine, we can get into the machines in the future. We can get in and change the votes we can get in and delete the votes we can get in and make sure that Donald Trump never loses an election again for the rest of his life. That is my concern here. They knew there was no fraud already. They knew Trump already won the areas where these machines were used. So they had nothing to prove. They had nothing to gain other than understanding how this equipment works and how they can remotely access it in the future. Again, purely my hypothesis here, but unfortunately it's the only thing that actually makes sense.
