Gather round, my Dearies for the Celestial Goddess of the Woodshed shall tell the tale of Janice Winfrey, Hans von Spakowsky, &
stealin' the children, land & votes.
I smell
Mittens Romney and his Carlyle Cabal.
This is not about dead people voting, this is a legal psyoptic to cover up using Detroit Land Bank Authority properties in some jacked up voter packing scam through absentee ballots.
Have you ever wondered to the identities of foster care upon termination of parental right?
What about all those absentee voters, who are under the legal custodialship and guardianship, whose voting rights are transferred by state grant to a private, foreign corporation?
Praise the lord.
What about adoptee former voting rights?
Is this chattel even considered?
Nope.
You know why?
SIGTARP.
Yup, this lawsuit is the fault of SIGTARP because no one will say anything about the Detroit Land Bank Authority.
Naughty, SIGTARP!
SIGTARP should go ask
Janice Winfrey to tell her tale.
I bet it will be just riveting.
SIGTARP must definitely ask
Hans von Spakowsky to tell his tale.
I bet Hans has lovely tales of to tell about his heritage, according to Wikipedia:
Hans Anatol von Spakovsky (born March 11, 1959) is an American attorney and a former member of the Federal Election Commission (FEC). He is the manager of the Heritage Foundation's Election Law Reform Initiative and a senior legal fellow in Heritage's Meese Center for Legal and Judicial Studies.[1] He is an advocate for more restrictive voting laws.[2][3] He has been described as playing an influential role in making alarmism about voter fraud mainstream in the Republican Party, despite no evidence of widespread voter fraud.[4][5]
He was nominated to the FEC by President George W. Bush on December 15, 2005, and was appointed by recess appointment on January 4, 2006.[6] However, von Spakovsky's nomination was opposed by Senate Democrats, who argued that his oversight of voter laws was unacceptably partisan and that he had consistently acted to disenfranchise poor and minority voters.[7][8] Opposition to the nomination was bolstered by objections from career Justice Department staff, who accused von Spakovsky of politicizing his nominally non-partisan office to an unprecedented degree.[9] While von Spakovsky and the Bush Administration denied the accusations of partisanship, the nomination was withdrawn on May 15, 2008.[10] Von Spakovsky subsequently joined the staff of the Heritage Foundation, a politically conservative think tank. On June 29, 2017, President Donald J. Trump named him to be a member of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity.[11]
Von Spakovsky was born in Huntsville, Alabama, where his parents had eventually settled after immigrating to the United States in 1951. His German mother met his Russian father Anatoly von Spakovsky, who had settled in Yugoslavia after WWI and then fled to Germany after WWII, in a German refugee camp for displaced persons.[5] Von Spakovsky received a B.S. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1981 and a J.D. from the Vanderbilt University Law School in 1984. Von Spakovsky is a member of the Georgia and Tennessee bars. Before entering politics, he worked as a government affairs consultant, in a corporate legal department, and in private practice.
Von Spakovsky served as Republican Party chairman in Fulton County, Georgia, and as a Republican appointee to the Fulton County Registration and Election Board, where he championed strict voter-identification laws.[12][13] Von Spakovsky became a member of Voting Integrity Project, which investigated alleged voter fraud across the United States,[14] as well as a member of the politically conservative Federalist Society. He worked as a lawyer for George W. Bush's team during the 2000 Florida Presidential election recount.[12] After Bush's election victory, von Spakovsky was appointed to the Civil Rights division of the U.S. Department of Justice.[14]
I like Hans better than
John Christian Adams, even though they are both co-conspirators.
FUN FACT! Michael Brady, former legal counsel for the fake ass Detroit Land Bank Authority is now with the Michigan Secretary of State.
Michigan has some serious errors going on in the administration of their meshed databases with local and county governments because the data are corrupt, where they run double books.
There may not be as many registered voters in this area, where I am including Hamtramck and Highland Park, which also makes Han's case suck because he probably failed to identify those geopolitical areas, intentionally, of course.
There may be even less of population due to the issues with the double books.
It always starts in child welfare because no one cares, not even Hans or Janice.
For all the reasons, cited, above, I am calling this another one of those Crafty Creations by the "Legal Geniuses" (
trademark pending) because it is a distractionary, dilatory action, to divert everyone's attention from the gerrymander for the simple fact that the reporting on the case, since I have yet to see the original complaint, fails to mention the Detroit Land Bank Authority.
So, why is it #perkinscoiesucks is pulling out all the big guns to distract from gerrymandering as Russian interference in the 2016 election?
I believe SIGTARP is really going to have to spend quality time with Hans, but I am pretty sure this is was, notice I reference to the outcome of the case, to be their Hail Mary Pass, GO BLUE!, to save the day from the unsealing of the Detroit Grand Juries.
And that ends another tale of
stealin'
the children, land and votes.

An advocacy group is suing Detroit election officials, claiming they violated the National Voter Registration Act by failing to properly maintain city voting rolls, including listing long-dead residents and keeping multiple registrations for the same people.
The "failure" to comply with federal voter registration laws "undermined the confidence of Detroit’s properly registered voters in the integrity of the voter registration rolls and, accordingly, has undermined the integrity of elections held both within the city of Detroit and across the state of Michigan," the complaint contends.
The Public Interest Legal Foundation filed the suit Tuesday in U.S. District Court, targeting Detroit City Clerk Janice Winfrey and elections director George Azzouz.
The nonpartisan, Indiana-based nonprofit filed the lawsuit after spending more than two years seeking to resolve Detroit's voting record issues. The foundation said it attempted “to cure problems” with the voter roll maintenance practices when it first requested records on Oct. 3, 2017.
Ultimately, it purchased the state’s entire voter roll on April 1 and analyzed Detroit's voter registration list. Multiple efforts have since been made to have Detroit's discrepancies corrected, but the alleged errors were "brushed aside," said Logan Churchwell, communications and research director for the group.
"Someone dropped the ball, and they keep dropping it," Churchwell said. "All you need is a little bit of chaos to spread distrust."
Duggan administration spokesman John Roach in an email Wednesday referred questions to Winfrey. The city's Law Department, he added, has not seen the lawsuit, nor has it been asked by the clerk to represent her office on the complaint.
Reached Wednesday, Winfrey did not immediately comment on the filing. Azzouz did not return a message left by The News.
The city had 511,786 registered voters as of the 2016 general election, according to Detroit election data, while the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey that year estimated Detroit only had 479,267 voting-age residents, the lawsuit said.
This year, analyzing the city’s official voter registration list from the state roll, Public Interest members “identified records listing years of birth indicating registrants of 105 years of age and older, with some records listing dates of birth in the nineteenth century. According to the foundation’s research, the oldest, active registrant in the city of Detroit was purportedly born in 1823, 14 years before Michigan was admitted to the Union as the 26th state,” according to the suit.
Through more research and further checking of Social Security and other records, the foundation also found “a significant number of deceased registrants whose registrations should have been canceled, but remain registered to vote in Detroit,” the suit reads.
For example, in a sample of 2,503 voter registrants flagged as likely dead, “(65) percent, or 1,629 registrants, have been deceased for more than 10 years. Of those, 898 registrants have been deceased for more than 15 years, 324 registrants have been deceased for more than 20 years, and 13 have been deceased for more than 25 years,” according to the court document.
When poring over city voters rolls to find identical or closely matching names, addresses and birth dates, “the foundation’s comparison yielded a list of 2,384 entries that are likely duplicates or triplicates," the filing said. “... The defendants have many tools available to conduct list maintenance and, yet, they are failing to reasonably maintain the city of Detroit’s voter rolls."
The Public Interest Legal Foundation launched in 2014 and acts as a law firm that focuses on election administration issues. It's headed by J. Christian Adams, who formerly worked for the U.S. Justice Department's legal section and served on President Donald Trump's advisory commission on election integrity.
Churchwell said there's a private right of action built into the Voting Rights Act that permits the foundation, or others to bring such court action.
The group has filed lawsuits in Florida, Texas and Mississippi over similar alleged voting roll errors as it found in Detroit. Most have been settled or remain on appeal, he said.
"This type of lawsuit is very rare," he said. "There's just not a whole lot of case law on it."
Churchwell told The News on Wednesday that the group identified and reported similar voting roll errors to clerk's offices in Flint and Grand Rapids.
Flint City Clerk Inez Brown said the group requested information this year, but her office hasn't had the resources to complete it, nor the time, due to its focus on elections.
The city just completed an election in November and has another that's upcoming Jan. 7 as well as the March presidential primary.
The foundation, she said, is seeking a vast amount of information and for large urban cities, such as Flint and Detroit, "it's not as easy as people may think."
"We all do the best we can do to ensure everything is kept properly, in an orderly way and in accordance with state law," she said. "We're not going to do anything that's going to put the voters' rights in jeopardy."
The foundation, in its Tuesday filing, said it alerted Detroit elections staff of the concerns, corresponded with the office via email and drove out to meet with officials there.
The foundation sent a letter to Winfrey in the spring, notifying her the city allegedly was in violation of Voting Rights Act, warning of a potential lawsuit to ensure compliance.
The issues with the city's rolls, Churchwell said, have "lived on for years," and there "doesn't seem to be any effort to address them."
The suit is asking Detroit to implement effective registration list maintenance programs and ensure that ineligible voters are not on the city rolls.
But the foundation has faced some criticism over a flawed analysis several years ago involving non-citizens listed on voting rolls in Virginia that landed them in litigation.
Churchwell said public records provided by the state elections office in Virginia for the analysis was "mislabled" and "communicated wrong." A lawsuit filed by certain individuals purported to be non-citizens was settled, and the foundation apologized, he said.
Bill Ballenger, a long-time political pundit, said "people want clean voter rolls.”
“They don’t want dead wood, they don’t want people with suspicious addresses and suspicious backgrounds on the voter rolls,” he said. “The Republicans are generally more focused on enforcing that kind of regimen than Democrats are, but both sides really don’t want fraudulent people on the voter rolls who might be able to vote.”
The Detroit Clerk’s Office has faced voting-related controversies in recent years.
After the 2016 presidential election, a Wayne County canvass revealed "significant discrepancies" in the number of voters and ballots in 392 Detroit precincts.
The Michigan Bureau of Election "found no evidence of pervasive voter fraud," according to a 24-page audit, but noted that more than half of 136 Detroit precincts had nearly 600 questionable votes, which was reduced to 216 after extensive review.
Poll worker errors in the 2017 general election prevented 20% of reviewed precincts from being recounted.
Winfrey has said the city bought new voting machines and beefed up poll worker training to address the issues.
