Republican AG candidate Matt DePerno wants to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of urban voters by “not counting” ballots not yet processed by midnight after the polls close.

There is a very finite list of people who can turn in a voter’s ballot and it is written into state election law.

Any person found to be doing so would be committing a felony that comes with a fine of up to $1,000 and/or imprisonment for up to 5 years… for each violation.

I am tired of having to explain that knocking on doors 18 months after an election is over and demanding voters disclose information is not a valid methodology to audit an election.

If these Representatives are convinced that the election results are false & fraudulent, I welcome them to abstain from swearing an oath and taking office for the 2021-22 term, as they, too, were on the ballot.

For those who do not know (of which I will be forced to assume you are one), “ballot harvesting” means learning that someone has an absentee ballot, collecting their ballot, and taking it to their local clerk to turn it in, voting the ballot.

If anyone other than those people (or your friendly postal worker) possesses, delivers, returns, solicits to return, or agrees to return a ballot, they have violated election law in the great state of Michigan.

Is now a good time to point out that the MIGOP has historically utilized Dominion for their convention elections?

Election inspectors are hired by local clerks in Michigan and we hire Democrats and Republicans to work in our polling places. We’re required by law to do so.

So if you intend to train these 100,000 workers to do anything but their sacred constitutional obligation, they’ll find themselves on the curb faster than you can say “election interference.”

In fact over 250 actual audits have already taken place in Michigan, each confirming the results.

I am tired because I have administered 4 elections since November 2020 and have another one in just over a month. I really cannot be spending all this time dealing with those obsessed with November 2020.

A local clerk or their representative can pick up a ballot from a voter at the voter’s request, and they must wear and show credentials when they arrive to obtain that ballot.

Offering to take their ballot to the dropbox or the local clerk’s office is where the line is drawn.

Good Morning Ms. Carone.👋A couple of notes on your comment. First of all, you may address me as CLERK Byrum. My friends call me Barb, not my students, and no one calls me Mrs. Byrum. 🧵

@BarbByrum @RepBoebert Well Mrs. Byrum, Clearly you’re tired of doing YOUR JOB but that doesn’t change the fact that Detroit alone has over 300 eye witness testimony to election fraud. It doesn’t change the fact that there’s still 800,000+ ineligible voters on the Michigan QVF,

This is America and we do not disenfranchise voters! Clerks will count each and every legally cast ballot from qualified, registered voters no matter how long it takes. If you don’t want to live in a Democracy where every vote is counted, you can f@#* off and live somewhere else.

Ballot chasing is perfectly legal, and it is a commonly used practice by candidates whereby they obtain the list of voters with absentee ballots (which is public record), and communicate with them about the issues or remind THEM to cast their ballots.

As a County Clerk for a county containing Michigan State University, this report has so much to love. For those that have limited time, let me highlight a few key points. 🧵

The Youth Vote in 2022

Elections are a valuable opportunity for young people across the country to make their voices heard, support action on issues they care about, and grow as active voters and leaders in our democracy...
