Michigan Governor Awards Huge Coronavirus Contract to Democrat Consulting Firm before rescinding it
[PJMedia] Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has awarded the state contract to trace and track coronavirus victims to a Democratic consulting firm that worked for her 2019 campaign.

Contact tracing is used to find out who's got the virus and who they've been in contact with. The massive amount of data this generates could help in finding out who should be tested and where resources to fight the spread of coronavirus need to go. And it can also provide information useful to elected politicians.

Whitmer awarded a contract for contact tracing in the state to Every Action VAN, an arm of the Democratic data heavyweight NGP VAN. Essentially, Whitmer has given the ability of NGP Van to develop a massive voter database. The company says it won't use the data collected in Michigan for political purposes. If you believe that I've can sell you Mackinac Bridge for a song.

UPDATE
Whitmer has rescinded the contract. Apparently, she sort of, kind of, bypassed established protocols and awarded a no-bid contract to a partisan Democratic company.
