How Exactly Do Election Audits “Threaten Democracy?”

A group called Audit Forward has submitted a petition to Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, seeking a full forensic audit of the 2020 election in that state. If Benson approves the petition, Audit Forward will be allowed to start collecting signatures to see if enough voters in Michigan want the election results audited.

Benson, of course, claims that the election was clean as a whistle and it’s all a big Trump conspiracy theory to think otherwise. This process in Michigan – asking the Secretary of State if you can check her work – is sort of like asking the suspected bank robber if you can see what he’s carrying in that bulging sack with a dollar sign on it.

Republicans in the Michigan legislature have sat on their hands this whole time, refusing to follow the will of the people. A citizen petition drive in that state could force a forensic audit, if Jocelyn Benson approves the petition and allows them to start gathering signatures. But she won’t.

 

Benson claims that even the possibility of a forensic audit of Michigan’s 2020 election results “threatens the survival of our democracy, and our nation.”

I’ll come back to that in a second.

The petitioners are asking for an audit that would review all the ballots and all the vote tallies in every local, state and federal election in 2020 in Michigan. They’re also asking that the voter rolls be closely examined, and that Secretary of State Benson publicly release all of her official communications (emails, text messages) sent in October and November of 2020.

The petition also seeks major changes in future elections in Michigan – a series of triggers that would automatically force a full forensic audit. For example, if ballot boxes are found to have been tampered with (which happened in Michigan in 2020), if election materials are destroyed (which happened in Michigan in 2020), or if at least two poll books in a precinct don’t have matching numbers (which happened in EVERY Democrat-controlled precinct in Michigan in 2020). If any of those things happened in a future election, it would trigger an automatic audit.

But Jocelyn Benson says it will destroy our democracy and our nation if anyone checks her work. How, exactly?

So many Democrats keep repeating this talking point, but I’d really like to hear them go into specifics on this. If the results of a state are audited to ensure the integrity of an election, how exactly would that destroy democracy? Or America?! Benson should explain that to Michigan voters and speak slowly when doing so.

Do you know what else threatens to destroy democracy? When a wide majority of the voters think that the election results were fake!

Rasmussen Reports has been tracking the beliefs of registered voters for all of 2021 on the question of whether they believe cheating decided the outcome of the 2020 election. Rasmussen is one of the better polling outlets in existence. Back in March and April, around half of the electorate believed the 2020 election was stolen from the rightful winner. In October, the number was up to 56%.

In December, 59% of registered Republican and Democrat voters now believe that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump. If 6 out of 10 people don’t believe the outcome of an election, your democracy has a problem.

Why do the numbers keep climbing? Because as freedom fighters continue chipping away at the narrative and keep uncovering evidence of fraud, more and more people are catching on. The evidence only points in one direction. Anytime the results are checked in any state so far (Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia, Virginia, Maine, etc.), it does not reinforce Joe Biden’s “victory.” It adds to the pile of evidence that the 2020 election was stolen.

I think the bump in believers that Rasmussen found in December also had to do with the Thanksgiving holiday. Most Trump supporters by now, when asked if they believe “Trump’s conspiracy theory,” can give a nuanced answer to reasons why they believe 2020 was stolen. They can talk about the Arizona audit results, the fact that no court has actually agreed to hear an election case, and the nursing home proxy voting scandal in Wisconsin. We’re not a bunch of kooks and we give reasoned arguments, backed up facts and data. We’re winning the ideological battle.

59% of American voters now believe that Joe Biden is illegitimate, and that he does not have the right to govern us. That’s a far more dangerous and volatile situation for our democracy than any election audit in Michigan.

      1. So true, I’m so tired of hearing it was a clean election !!! WHAT BULL CRAPPY and everyone knows it, we need all states to do forensic audits. Then we need several states to decertify and we can throw the bums out of the white house.

      2. I am creating an honest wage from home 1900 Dollars/week , that is wonderful, below a year gone i used to be unemployed during an atrocious economy. I convey God on a daily basis. I used to be endowed with these directions and currently it’s my duty to pay it forward and share it with everybody. Here is where I started………. http://exxtra-cassh3.blogspot.com/

    1. Honesty is not a problem. To refuse the people’s wishes is the most dangerous thing happening these days. Let the audit proceed.

      1. The people are the “inherent holders of all political power” which means that the government is not the power and the people in all cases can overrule: let the audit proceed.
        Dennis Sullivan

  4. Benson knows there was fraud in the election. She knows that if an audit is done they will find how fraudulent the election truly was. She will try every way she can to keep an audit from happening, either by not allowing a petition to be circulated or dragging her feet deciding on how many signatures there need to be then to authenticate them.

  5. People need to stop taking these lies from these politicians. If you know the word Democracy mean “Big government ” then yes it a threat to the government making laws and rule like they did to elect Biden! It doesn’t mean a threat to our freedom or liberty! This is the way democrats scare people. Trying to push their power and control over the people. You can also call it “SOCIALISM !” Because SOCIALISM is BIG GOVERNMENT AND BIG TECH CONTROL OVER YOU! America is a rePUBLIC country. Laws and rules are VOTING ON BY THE PEOPLE! Just as you pledge to the flag, which word do you say? INTO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STAND! You could say it this way— INTO THE PEOPLE FOR WHICH IT STAND mean the people are the ones who control the government!

    1. After the 2020fraudlection, there is no such thing as election integrity. There is just corrupt demoncrap lies and outright fraud.

  6. So Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, who single handed changed the election rules without legislative consent, won’t let us check her homework? How undemocratic is that?

    1. I also thought I read that she allowed voting records be destroyed before they were allowed to be. She is in hot water!! I hope she will be punished as any criminal…breaking our laws, is breaking our laws. Same punishment as anyone.

  7. Unless and until a full forensic audit is completed in every suspect situation, few will trust future election outcomes. That is the true threat to democracy, is that the plan? A careful look at the current administrations agenda and actions clearly point that way. Fortunately, when push comes to shove, evil will lose. Truth will shine and take control.

  8. While me and a couple of friends were standing in line at the polls, we heard more than once, a poll worker say to someone, the voting machine says that you already voted and each time the voting party explained that they haven’t voted in years but they couldn’t let the criminal democrats win. And when that happened probably about three times just while we were standing there in line, that was the start of the democrat terrorists thievery if you were to ask any of us… Sincerely, The People For The Real USA Back

  9. You would think the Democrats would love to prove with pride Joe Biden won the election.
    I smell a Rat in the woodpile time start digging

  10. Every commie libtard in the country calls everything to the right of Lenin, a threat to our democracy. Democracy is last thing communist want. They want full authoritarianism. They are the only threat to our democracy. We are not however a democracy, that’s mob rule. We are a democratic republic. Democrats can’t seem to grasp that concept.

  11. As a person living in MI, I can’t tell you how many times I have tried to beg our legislators to look into this and do a forensic audit. I can honestly say that not one gave me a response nor do I count the ones I did get as sufficient. They were wishy-washy, without any promise of fighting for these audits nor fighting for election security in the future. I am frustrated and assume that many of them must be on the take and perhaps even afraid that their own seats would be found to be fraudulent. That, to me is proof that we MUST do an audit…not simply a desire. Corruption needs to be weeded out and ASAP!!

  12. Clean as a whistle? Huh. My parents r from michigan and r dead and we’re dead at the time of the election. They were Republicans and loved Mr Trump.y brother found out that SOMEONE voted for these two dead Republicans and put the vote for Biden. First..how cud they vote from the grave and second they wud never vote Democrat of they were alive. I say do the investigation and clean up Michigan. I shud sue really.

  13. If they believe it’s a conspiracy r the election was fair and no cheating they should have no problem with it then . They should want to prove that it was a fair election . What r they hiding r afraid of . Perhaps the truth !

    If Other way around like with Hitlarys loss they would be screaming and crying and rioting etc . They would be screaming impeach their favorite words !

    So corrupt our government the deep state runs deep and far and wide !

    Evil
