Gearing up for the election

a bridgeport ganim worker ensures that legitimate ballots won’t feel lonely while waiting for pickup
Last week the Wisconsin Supreme Court, a liberal justice having replaced a retired conservative one, overruled its own precedent and ruled that unmonitored ballot drop boxes were legal after all. The opportunity to vote in person, even before election day, or mailing in a ballot was insufficient to “protect” citizens’ right to vote, the court ruled. The fact that these boxes were in the past, and will be again, placed strategically in Democrat strongholds like Milwaukee and a few other urban locations had, of course, no role in the 4-3 ruling throwing out their 2022 ruling that had prohibited the practice.
Michigan's process of handling election recounts and fraud allegations has changed, with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signing two controversial bills into law Monday. ...
Among other changes, the law will eliminate the board of canvasser's investigative powers, instead requiring the board to refer any allegations of fraud to the relevant county prosecutor, rather than conducting a recount.
Only alleged errors could merit a recount, and only when the alleged errors could potentially change election results.
A Democratic state Senator claimed that the laws, "achieve critical goals of protecting the security of every vote, modernizing our recount process, and uplifting the voices of Michigan voters."
“…Removing the ability of election officials to investigate fraud — and kicking it over to local prosecutors instead — has all the obvious appearance of a political sop. Prosecutors, as we all well know, are very frequently politicized, compromised by money and ideology, and aggressively contemptuous of the rule of law.”
“… Limiting recounts to cases "only when the alleged errors could potentially change election results," meanwhile, puts a considerably high barrier in place for petitioners to get a recount in the first place. In effect, the state is apparently saying that unless enough error can be demonstrated to flip an election, authorities don't care.”
I disagree with the author here: it’s not that the authorities [Democrats] don’t care, they do; they care that their candidates win, by any and all means posible.
