It’s a felony to not certify…

Well…I really don’t like the fact that we here in Michigan are in the spotlight today due to repub shenanigans about the certification of the votes from the election….it seems all of the damn repubs only think elections are legal when they win them and they will break any law to make sure they do “win” them. So, today here, about 25 minutes ago, the state board of canvassers met to just count up the already certified votes from every country and then certify that count is correct….but two of them 4 on the board are repubs so do you think they are going to follow the law? Not a chance and that is why we need to prosecute every damn one of them for breaking the law…there needs to be consequences for screwing with our elections….and one way would be to prosecute the two repub members of the board for not certifying the vote under the Voting Rights Act of 1965 where it specifically says that failure to certify the votes in any state is a felony….and this was put in the law since it was one of the favorite tactics of the racists in the south to certify white votes but to not certify votes that came from predeominately black areas…and that’s just what the Wayne county repub canvassers tried to do…not certify the votes from Detroit while certifying the votes in the surrounding white suburbs. So, it’s not a “constitutional crisis” like the repubs are bleating, it’s a simple case of breaking the law by not doing their jobs that the repubs are doing here…and they need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law…and now…
