Even Michigan Republicans Have Had Enough of the M

A new report brings a blowtorch to the double-aught spy's claims of fraud in that state.

The Republican Party of the state of Michigan would like the world to know that it does not unanimously agree that its state’s governor should be kidnapped. Or something.
There is no evidence presented at this time to prove either significant acts of fraud or that an organized, wide-scale effort to commit fraudulent activity was perpetrated in order to subvert the will of Michigan voters.
Our clear finding is that citizens should be confident the results represent the true results of the ballots cast by the people of Michigan. The committee strongly recommends citizens use a critical eye and ear toward those who have pushed demonstrably false theories for their own personal gain.
And this report is quite prepared to show people how to use that critical eye, and to use it as a blowtorch. For example, here’s the report on the subject of Mike Lindell, The MyPillow Double-Aught Spy:
Many of the theories surrounding cyber attacks were consolidated into the visuals and narratives included in the “Absolute Proof” video series first presented in January 2021 and continuing into June 2021 by Mike Lindell (the video relied heavily on the situation in Antrim County and the report from ASOG).
In summary, Mr. Lindell claims that attacks by foreign and domestic enemies were successful in obtaining access to the computers containing results at local and county clerks’ offices, as well as the secretary of state. In some cases, the supposed access included the actual tabulators. However, this narrative is ignorant of multiple levels of the actual election process.
Unpossible!
Then there’s Jovan Pulitzer , the failed gadget-meister and onetime TV treasure hunter who claims to be able to tell if a ballot is marked by a machine or by a human being. Pulitzer also mucked around in New Hampshire, but the Michigan GOP has had enough of him.
Videos and reports of the ease of hacking current Dominion voting machines from outside of Michigan, e.g. Georgia, never demonstrated a vulnerability of the vote counting software or the tabulators. The chair contacted various officials from Georgia to understand the testimony and events in question there.
Particularly, the testimony of Jovan Pulitzer, which purported to have on-the-spot access to manipulate voting files and vote counts, has been demonstrated to be untrue and a complete fabrication.
And then the Committee got seriously serious:
The Committee recommends the attorney general consider investigating those who have been utilizing misleading and false information about Antrim County to raise money or publicity for their own ends.
The Committee finds those promoting Antrim County as the prime evidence of a nationwide conspiracy to steal the election place all other statements and actions they make in a position of zero credibility.
I can submit one suspect right off the bat. But you’ll have to go to Florida to serve him.
There’s enough both-sides-ism in the report for the casual reader to understand that it is, after all, a Republican report. But it may also be an indicator that, in Michigan at least, the Big Lie is losing altitude among the local Republicans. I decline, of course, to be hopeful about this.
