The Michigan Senate Oversight Committee will hold a hearing on Dec. 1 to review Detroit’s election count.
Trump supporters demand a halt to the vote count outside the TCF, a counting center, in Detroit, Michigan, November 4, 2020.
The Michigan Senate Oversight Committee (Senate Oversight Committee) will hold a hearing on December 1 to review the election counting issue in Detroit.
According to the agenda, committee members will hear testimony on the issue of ballot counting at the TCF Center in Detroit. The center is the location where absentee ballots are counted in Detroit, and counting station staff had blocked the windows with cardboard and prevented Republican observers from watching the counting process. The move prompted many people to protest outside the counting center.
Michigan certified the election results on Monday (23), declaring Democratic candidate Joe Biden the winner in the state.
But on Wednesday, attorney Sidney Powell filed a lawsuit accusing state officials of conspiracy to commit fraud and asked for a court order to decertify the results.
Last Saturday, state Republican Party Chairwoman Laura Cox and Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel called for a “full and transparent audit” before certification so that “all of the results are certified. Michiganders can trust the election results.”
The Trump campaign announced Tuesday that the Pennsylvania, Arizona and Michigan legislatures will hold public hearings on the 2020 election to restore confidence in the integrity of the election.
Rudy Giuliani, President Trump’s personal attorney, said in a statement, “It is in everyone’s interest to have a full review of election irregularities and fraud, and the only way to do that is to hold public hearings supplemented by witnesses, videos, pictures and other evidence that the Nov. 3 election was illegal. “
Jenna Ellis, legal counsel for the campaign, said the team is excited to hold these hearings. “We have evidence of fraud in multiple states. It’s important for all Americans to have confidence in our election process.” In a statement, she said, “We wanted to count every legal vote and exclude every illegal vote from the beginning.”
The first hearing was held Wednesday at the Pennsylvania Senate in Gettysburg. Giuliani said at the hearing, “We don’t want to disenfranchise anybody. We want to disqualify 672,000 votes to make sure that 74 million people (who voted for Trump) are not disenfranchised.”
The six swing states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, Jo, Wyo, Nevada and Arizona have a total of 79 electoral votes that will likely ultimately determine the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
Currently, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Jo, and Nevada have certified their respective election results; Jo and Wyo. are in the process of recounting their ballots; and lawsuits over election fraud are pending in Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Michigan.
