EXPLOSIVE: Michigan Illegally Counted or Ignored 500K Ballots, Lawsuit Claims.
âIn the wee hours of Thanksgiving Day, the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society filed an explosive election lawsuit asking Michiganâs Supreme Court to prevent Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson from certifying the election results until the Michigan legislature can fully investigate fraud claims and to force election officials to hand over all election materials to the legislature for this purpose.
Secretary of State Jocelyn BensonHand Them Over
The lawsuit claims that officials illegally counted or threw out no fewer than 508,016 ballots, far more than Joe Bidenâs 154,000-vote margin over Donald Trump. . . .Benson's Lawless Office:
Citing state records, the lawsuit claims that Bensonâs office sent out 355,392 unsolicited ballots. Northon explained that Michigan law requires two signatures for absentee voting: a signature on an application form and a signature on the security sleeve for the ballot. In this election, officials mailed out more than 300,000 ballots that no one had requested.âNearly 30,000 voters sent in absentee ballots but Michiganâs voting records show those ballots were not counted. The lawyer explained that Matthew Brainard conducted a survey and found â29,682 people said they requested a ballot, said they voted, and their ballot wasnât counted. The stateâs records show it wasnât counted.â
Why did their ballots not make it to the final tally? Northon said the Amistad Project has âmore than three dozen affidavitsâ testifying that officials threw out ballots when they did not like the result. It is unclear whether or not the officials threw out ballots for Trump while counting ballots for Biden, but âwhen government officials are not following the laws as written, youâve got a problem.â
Michigan officials counted another 35,109 ballots that were not associated with any address. This statistic is nothing short of mindboggling. According to Northon, voters âwere sent an absentee ballot, but thereâs no address on file. They voted. That violates the law.â
Michigan officials also counted 13,248 ballots cast by individuals who were registered to vote in another state. They also counted 317 ballots from people who voted more than once and 259 ballots from voters who listed only an email address instead of a physical address. Finally, election officials mailed out at least 74,000 absentee ballots that voters requested online.
âThe statute requires a signature, all theyâre doing is checking a box,â Northon explained.
These illegal tabulations and omissions add up to more than three times the margin of victory in the State of Michigan.

Due to these and other violations of state law, the lawsuit asks Michiganâs Supreme Court to âtake immediate custody and control of all ballots, ballot boxes, poll books, and other indicia of the Election from Respondents or their designees to prevent spoliation or destruction, to prevent further irregularities, and to ensure that the Michigan Legislature and this Court have a chance to perform a constitutionally sound audit of individual votes.â
The lawsuit also asks the court to segregate illegal ballots, declare that Benson âviolated Petitionersâ fundamental constitutional rights,â declare Bensonâs ballot scheme illegal, enjoin Benson or Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-Mich.) from certifying the election results, or appoint a special master or committee from the Michigan legislature to âinvestigate all claims of mistake, irregularity, and fraud at the TCF Centerâ in Detroit.
The lawsuit also raises two disturbing claims regarding the way Michigan officials managed the 2020 election.
In September, the Detroit City Council approved a $1 million contract for the staffing firm P.I.E. Management to hire up to 2,000 workers to work the polls and staff the ballot-counting machines at the TCF Center. P.I.E. Management reportedly paid temporary workers at least $50 per hour, far above rates in most rural communities. The lawsuit claims that this money came from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg through the group CTCL, âwhich paid over $400 million nationwide to Democrat-favoring election officials and municipalities.â
Perhaps even more disturbingly, Northon told PJ Media that Benson gave sensitive voter data to the left-leaning activist group Rock the Vote. Benson partnered with Rock the Vote in order to enable groups to register new voters. Yet in doing so, she put voter information at risk.
Benson gave Rock the Vote votersâ âeye color, social security number, and birthdayâ through the program, Northon said. He referenced a December 2019 report from the auditor-general of Michigan, which found that âtoo many people had full access or improper access to the qualified voting records.â
âWhen you try to increase the franchise, when you try to get people to vote, you have to do it lawfully,â Northon insisted.
Rather than addressing these very real concerns, officials are âtrying to hurry up and move this along. They donât want a second look.â
Yet The Amistad Project filed the lawsuit directly to the Michigan Supreme Court because âan audit six months later doesnât do anybody any good.â
Yup. Now is the time to get to the bottom of this.
Oh, shit. Someone *alleged* something in a lawsuit?
