Draconian fascist transitions into corrupt one.

[Free Beacon] Michigan Governor Whitmer Awards Coronavirus Contract Monies to Dem Consulting Firm

NGP Van will aid state in massive contact-tracing operation

Michigan Democratic governor Gretchen Whitmer has handed over control of the state's new contact-tracing operation to one of her own campaign vendors and one of the left's biggest technology firms. The move has sparked concern that she is using the coronavirus to strengthen the Democratic Party's data operation, ~~potentially~~ at the expense of public health.

The Whitmer administration announced Monday that it had awarded a contract for contact tracing in the state to Every Action VAN, an arm of the Democratic data behemoth NGP VAN. The liberal firm works with all of the major Democratic campaign committees and hundreds of labor unions across the country, according to its website, and will "help organize remote phone banking and track information and contacts" for Michigan, a state press release said.

The group is run by Stuart Trevelyan, a longtime Democratic campaign operative who worked in the Clinton White House and is currently assisting presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden's campaign with voter outreach and fundraising, according to Federal Election Commission reports.

UPDATE 6:45 p.m.: After publication of this article, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's administration announced that the contract was being rescinded. Read more here.

#1 Not your president, eh, Gretchen?
Well, if the people of Michigan recall your zhopa, there will be no need for "not my governor" stickers.

#7 Let's not disparage grifters by apply that title to this scum.

The heading is correct: "Draconian Fascist".

G(r)om has it right. Corrupt is a defining characteristic of any fascist.

#9 NGP VAN, which was paid nearly $5,000 by Whitmer's campaign in 2019 and is working on her reelection campaign, said the Democratic firm would not appropriate the data it gleaned from Michigan residents.

Uh huh. I think that re-election campaign is dead

#10 She's overstepped and killed her chances of joining Biden. She's now seen as a fascist dictator with liberal propoganda and only hardcore lefties like that sort of thing.

#11 Exactly, and why they were pushing for Joey Biden in the first place (just say 'no' to Bernie and his ilk).

#12 To be fair Biden didn't really show signs of dementia until after super tuesday. He was always gropy and that should have been enough but that only bothers the left when it's republicans talking about being gropy.

#13 Forgot to add this WTF part of the story.

Whitmer backtracks after COVID-19 contract awarded to Dem consultant who said Trump should 'get coronavirus ASAP'

All this personal information would obviously help with mail in ballot manipulation.

Corruption, hidden in plain sight.
