Welcome to Michigan’s twisted, terrifying politics.
In July, McBroom won praise from Tony Daunt, who was appointed to the state canvassing board after Republicans declined to renominate Van Langevelde. A seasoned GOP operative, Daunt was until recently the executive director of the Michigan Freedom Fund, a conservative advocacy group backed by the billionaire DeVos family.
after McBroom presented his findings to state canvassers. “He is leading a lot of good people astray. He’s filling their heads with lies.”Daunt apparently sees his role the way canvassers from both parties always have, up until 2020. Your party nominates you because you’re a fierce partisan—but once on the board, you’re obliged to operate in a bipartisan manner, recognizing real election results even when your side loses.
That said, the Trump supporters clawing their way into positions of public authority don’t need to win a lawsuit “proving” fraud, or to delay certification of election results indefinitely. In a presidential year, if rogue canvassers can create enough legal and procedural fog to postpone certification for even a few weeks, Michigan might not have a final vote count by the “safe harbor” deadline in early December. State election results submitted after that date can be challenged in Congress.
Michele Voorheis, meanwhile, no longer has to endure the vicious personal abuse that has come from doing the gnarly but necessary work of precinct-level democracy. Instead, she’s thinking about an RV trip with her husband, heading toward a beach on Key Largo. Her quality of life will likely improve. The quality of Michigan elections? Not so much.
