Cocktails & Popcorn: Will Zimbabwe Set International Case Precedent For Election Nullification In Detroit, In Michigan, In the U.S.?

"Hold on, we got your international election
nullification case precedent for your Sweetie."
Zimbabwe is expected to rule Friday on certification of its elections.

The question at hand by the opposition is asking how can a fraudulent election of one race be acknowledged without nullifying the entire election?

For example, tomorrow, the Michigan Secretary of State Board of Canvassers is to meet to address, well, let us say at this time, "voting irregularities" in the 13th District House of Representatives, the 2nd District State Senate,and the 68th District State Representative election results.

So, if these three Michigan elections are found to have "voting irregularities", then how can the rest of the state races be acknowledged, as all elections are symbiotic, whether through political party association, campaign finance, endorsements or even certification of the vote?

Better than that, can an election be nullified if there is found to have been more than just violations in "election integrity"?

What if there is an ongoing, active investigation by the Department of Justice on election fraud regarding a previous election?

What if a grand jury has been empanelled on on election fraud regarding a previous election?

What if there is another ongoing, active investigation by the Department of Justice on a fraud that led to the calling of a special election?

What if there is another ongoing investigation by the Department of Justice on the entire construction of the electoral process, starting with the redistricting process?

What if there is another ongoing, conjugal collaborative investigation by the Federal Election Commission and Department of Justice into electioneering and campaign finance fraud?

What if there is a civil legal action pending in the federal court, presenting all the artifices and machinations of the various fraud schemes behind prior election?

What if there is another constitutional action in the pipeline to address 'the lack of due process' when it comes to a special election?

Perhaps, the DOJ OIG Horowitz report will answer these questions, but hey, what do I know?

I know I have cocktails & popcorn, everyone is watching Michigan, and Perkins Coie Sucks.



Michigan Democratic data hack: Here's who was apparently behind it

WASHINGTON – It turns out that a suspected hack of the Democratic National Committee’s voter file this week may have really just been volunteers for the Michigan Democratic Party testing the system.

The Free Press confirmed Thursday morning that the DNC was backtracking on an initial report Tuesday to the FBI that someone had apparently set up a fake online portal to try to lure DNC staff into giving up log-in information as a way to gain access to the party’s VoteBuilder database.
DNC Chief Security Officer Bob Lord said in a statement Thursday that officials now believe the portal “was built by a third party as part of a simulated phishing test.”

A person familiar with the incident but who would not speak on the record told the Free Press that the test was done by volunteer hackers recruited by the Michigan Democratic Party to test security, though the state party didn’t notify the DNC or its account vendors beforehand or get authorization for the test.

The Washington Post first reported Thursday that the DNC had learned that the suspected hack was really a security test conducted by volunteers recruited by the Michigan party. Michigan Democratic officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment by the Free Press.

Lord said the test "mimicked several attributes of actual attacks on the Democratic Party's voter file."

"The party took the necessary precautions to ensure that sensitive data critical to candidates and state parties across the country was not compromised," he said. "There are constant attempts to hack the DNC and our Democratic infrastructure, and while we are extremely relieved that this wasn't an attempted intrusion by a foreign adversary, this incident is further proof that we need to continue to be vigilant in light of potential attacks."

CNN first reported the attempted back on Tuesday after the DNC told the FBI someone was trying to hack its voter database two years after successful Russian efforts to infiltrate its computer systems and release thousands of emails online, embarrassing the party during the 2016 presidential campaign.
