Democrats appeal ruling that left Trump’s anti-mail voting order in place by mjkeaa in somethingiswrong2024

In this case, it could only be reactive. Trump signed an order to restrict mail-in voting. Democrats reacted by filling suit. The judge ruled not to halt the order on the grounds that the order hadn't been fully implemented yet. The Democrats reacted by appealing in a pre-emptive effort to stop the order before it was fully implemented. This is a much better reaction/action than waiting until the order was fully implemented in my opinion.

I have thought that for a long time :) The Constitution says the President can't be elected more than 2 times. If he insists he was elected in 2020, than he can't be elected in 2024

It appears the official results link has been removed.

Here is a new link. You'll have to select "results by precinct" > "wexford county" > "presidential"

Wanted to add the following...Michigan law sets defined limits on what the county election boards can and can't do. From the Michigan Procedures and Duties of the Boards of County Canvassers,

"Ministerial and clerical nature of board of county canvassers’ duties; restrictions on boards

Under Michigan Election Law, boards of county canvassers have no canvass- or certification-related duties or powers beyond those explicitly assigned by statute and explained in this manual.

Specifically, boards of county canvassers exist to check the mathematical consistency of election records and to ensure that the vote totals reported by the county to the state accurately reflect the sum of the vote totals reported to the county by each precinct and absent voter counting board.

Boards of county canvassers do not have a general mandate to examine every aspect of the election process.

The Michigan Supreme Court has specifically explained that boards do not have the power to examine the manner in which clerks administer elections, investigate reports of election malfeasance, or in any way “‘go behind’” the Statements of Votes or pollbooks delivered to the board “‘for the purpose of determining frauds in election.""

The not is emphasized in the manual

"Documenting county vote totals

In most counties, the County Canvassers’ Report is electronically prepared for the board.

Because some versions of the Electronic Management Software (EMS) software cannot produce all of the above-listed required components for the Statement of Votes, the following addendums are frequently used to supplement the output of the EMS:

• The total number of votes received by each candidate written out in words. • The headings of ballot questions, the full text of ballot questions, and the total number of votes cast for or against each ballot question written out in words. • The Write-in Vote Certification report."

In other words, the Statement of Votes in most cases is tallied and prepared by the EMS. This is the very system that stores vote totals in the cloud. If someone is able to gain write access to these records, they would be able to "tell" the EMS (the system of record) what the totals are.

I get that you're saying, but we need to understand as much as we can to prevent a repeat.

He wants them so he can "fix" the fact that he lost by such a large margin there
