"Michigan officials charged three individuals with attempted voter fraud in relation to the 2020 general election, but have urged the public to stop spreading claims of "widespread" fraud.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson on Monday charged Trenae Myesha Rainy, Carless Clark and Nancy Juanita Williams in connection with fraud. A state investigation resulted in accusations that the women purposefully filled out ballot applications and ballots incorrectly during the November 2020 general election.
Officials said the outcomes of the investigations prove Michigan’s anti-fraud measures are effective, as only one of the instances was caught after the end of voting. Less than 1% of the 5.5 million votes in Michigan have thus far been tied to election fraud."
By the way in case you were wondering, 1% of 5.5 million votes is 55,000 votes.
"Williams attempted to control absentee ballots for largely incapacitated individuals under her care, submitting voter registrations on their behalf. Rainey filled out applications and forged signatures for residents at an assisted living facility who had not yet verified they were interested in voting.
Both instances were caught in Oct. 2020. Williams submitted 26 absentee ballots, and Rainey submitted 3 – all of which were caught via the signature matching process."
Did these cases change the winner of the Michigan election ? No they didn't, but there are good reasons not to make vote fraud easier.
