(WWJ) Supporters of former President Donald Trump are imploring legislative leaders in Michigan to take one more, close look at last year's election.
The Michigan Conservative Coalition — which held a "Trump Won" rally in Livonia last week — joined forces with about a dozen more "grassroots groups" to pen the letter demanding "a complete forensic audit which will either confirm what we are afraid of or clearly demonstrate that these concerns are not true."
Group leaders, who claim to represent "tens of thousands of Michiganders," according to a release, delivered the letter to Michigan Sen. Mike Shirkey and Rep. Jason Wentworth Monday morning.
It reads as follows:
"Dear Sirs,
MICHIGAN VOTERS DEMAND A FORENSIC AUDIT OF THE 2020 ELECTION.
As the leaders of the grassroots groups in Michigan, we collectively represent freedom- loving Michiganders. We would be remiss in doing our jobs if we allowed you to continue to be remiss in doing yours. We are speaking with one voice in this matter, and we expect you to hear the voice of the people who elected you as their representatives.
Over recent weeks so much has (and has not) happened:
● A Michigan Senator stated that anyone disputing the 2020 election process should be investigated by our socialist democrat Attorney General.
● The Chair of our House Committee on Election Reform stated she is against any audit of elections.
● Through the combined efforts of several grassroots groups, over 7,500 notarized affidavits (collected in just 10 days) were delivered to 20 specific Lansing elected/judicial officials demanding an election audit.
● Numerous groups and individuals have communicated directly with their elected representatives that election integrity is the #1 issue with voters and to demand their Michigan Constitutional right to obtain an election audit.
● Legislative “leadership” stated that there is nothing to review in the 2020 election process and it is time to move on.
Michiganders believe there are serious problems with the 2020 election and we remind you (again) that our elected officials and lawmakers have a duty to respond to our concerns.
Whether the widely held election concerns are true or not, whether what poll workers saw amounts to unfounded accusations or legitimate problems, it is the obligation of elected representatives to provide the people of Michigan with answers.
Governments are OF THE PEOPLE, and voters are the people. Voters are not a lobby group or special interest donor. Voters deserve --- demand a complete forensic audit which will either confirm what we are afraid of or clearly demonstrate that these concerns are not true. Then, and only then, will the citizens of Michigan regain trust to go back to the polls and vote with confidence knowing that their ballot is sacred!
The Michigan Legislature (individually, nor collectively) has NO RIGHT to deny a citizen their Constitutional right to an election audit. Yet that is exactly what the Michigan Legislature is doing!
Never before have the grassroots groups signing this email (see below) seen fit to work together. Then again, never before has the Michigan Legislature collectively worked to deny Michigan citizens a specific Constitutionally-granted right.
Confirming that the 2020 election irregularities have been sorted out and addressed MUST HAPPEN before Michiganders can accept the result of any future election.
As other states move forward with their forensic audits, where is Michigan?
Citizens are tired of the constant call to action requests. Every group is tired of needing to make such requests.
The time for stalling is over.
It is the demand of the people that you grant to us a full forensic audit of the Michigan 2020 election."
The signing groups included the following: Citizens Liberating Michigan, Election Integrity Fund, Michigan Capitol House of Prayer, Michigan Conservative Coalition, Michigan Conservative Union, Michigan Leadership Group, Michiganders for Safe Technology Ottawa County, Ottawa County Patriots Group, Patriot HUB, Real Deal Media, Stand Up Michigan, and Transformation Michigan.
This action, now more than half-a-year post-election, comes after previous audits, multiple lawsuits and a joint hearing of the Senate and House Oversight committees failed to turn up any proof of major mistakes or wrongdoing in ballot counting in Michigan.
State officials have said repeatedly that Michigan's election was conducted smoothly, with transparency and without evidence of fraud.
All 83 Michigan counties back in November certified President Joe Biden’s victory over Trump by more than 150,000 votes.
