West Michigan precinct to be audited after GOP official tampered with polling equipemnt

https://www.woodtv.com/news/kent-county/gaines-township-precinct-audited-after-election-tampering-charges/

Republican is facing 2 felonies and we be arraigned later this month. 9 years in prison are possible, although I'd guess he gets less than 2. This is an interesting area, depending on the precinct it could be mostly minorities on the voting roles, probably was so in this precinct and this guy was trying to stop their votes from getting counted.

There was voter fraud, 99.9% of it came from Republicans trying to cheat to help Trump.

It's a threat to our very Democracy.

This wasn't the only incident in West Michigan. A sheriff from a small local town was involved in seizing ballots illegally in an attempt to invalidate Biden votes. Just really sick and twisted stuff. I wonder how widespread Republican attempts to tamper were the vote were, probably incidents in every state. Trump was literally telling people to break the law.
