Do you remember the name Aaron Van Langevelde? He was a Repub member of the MI state board of canvassers in 2020. The body with the authority to certify the state's election of the winning presidential candidate. The state Repub party chairman wanted him to delay the certification of the election in MI for Biden without cause. Never mind that Trump lost by more than 154,000 votes, or that results were already certified in all 83 counties. Van Langevelde refused.

“We must not attempt to exercise power we simply don’t have,” declared Van Langevelde, a member of Michigan’s board of state canvassers, the ministerial body with sole authority to make official Joe Biden’s victory over Trump. “As John Adams once said, we are a government of laws, not men. This board needs to adhere to that principle here today. This board must do its part to uphold the rule of law and comply with our legal duty to certify this election.”

What is happening within the POT is the Aaron Van Langevelde's are being drummed out in favor of Repubs like the party chairman. In favor of election deniers. Men and women who are clearly not interested in free and fair elections. They are interested in Trump winning no matter what the voters want.

Replacing the Refs

Across the country, politicians who continue to spread lies about our elections are seeking control over future elections. If these Election Deniers succeed, they could try to interfere with nonpartisan election administration and put our free, fair, and secure elections at risk.

The Replacing the Refs tracker follows Election Deniers running for governor, secretary of state, and attorney general in 2022. These state officials are the referees of our democracy. They run elections, supervise vote counts, certify results, and defend the will of the voters in court.

Election Deniers are running on lies and conspiracy theories, and they are a threat to our democracy. The state officials we elect this year will oversee the 2024 election. Giving Election Deniers that power would be like putting arsonists in charge of the fire department.

The data below tracks Election Denier candidates, state by state, heading into the general election.

You could minimize this with simple standard rules, but, then again, even when those rules are set the states are sued. Such as "date" or "ID" requirements etc.

The U.S is hyper partisan now and it's not good for democracy.

As you know Dems tried to pass legislation standardizing the ways elections are conducted across the country. In order to eliminate Repub imposed obstacles to voting, to registering to vote, to increase legal voter participation in the process. Repubs immediately reacted by spreading lies about what the bill was trying to achieve.

But I don't want to go off on a tangent. The subject here is the MAGA takeover of the administration of elections and the danger to democracy it portends.

WHO makes the "rules" though? POLITICIANS.

They make the "rules" for THEIR own agendas and schemes. They don't give a shit about the people.

"Rules" aren't going to do shit for anybody, except for those MAKING those "rules".
 
These people would have accepted a president that seized power with an angry mob and fake electors. Of course they intend to fix it for the republicans. It is futile to claim otherwise.

And while they do it they flip reality on its head and accuse Dems of cheating. To paraphrase the line from Death of a Salesman, "always be lying."
 
He really worked on those MI officials.

President Donald Trump has invited Michigan Republican lawmakers to meet with him at the White House on Friday, according to a Republican source familiar with the request — the latest move in his long-shot bid to overturn the election results.

The invitation, which was confirmed by a White House official, comes as Trump's legal team withdrew from its federal lawsuit in the state and after the president called two local canvassing board Republicans, who later sought to rescind their certification of votes in the county that includes Detroit, one of those board members told NBC News.
