h/t Instapundit
[NationalReview] Sherikia Hawkins was charged Monday with six felony counts for allegedly altering absentee ballots during the November 2018 election in her capacity as city clerk for the Detroit suburb of Southfield, Mich.

Hawkins, a 38-year-old registered Democrat, stands accused of altering 193 absentee ballots. She was arraigned Monday in Southfield on charges including falsifying returns or records, forgery of a public record, misconduct in office, and multiple counts of using a computer to commit a crime. She was released on $15,000 bond.

#13  #7 Now multiply Sherikia's 193 by all city clerks who are affirmative action registered Democrats

Yes, she's a sacrificial lamb to show that "something is being done."

To freshen my do... and immunity...
So, see you next weekend,
Post-waffles and chicken!"
"Who dat?" "Sound like damn Dickie Dawkins."

#10  It is interesting that they felt the need to steal a few votes in Michigan.

#8  Sherikia

How do they come up with these names?

I understand the logic behind "D'[insert stressed syllable ending in 'an' or 'ana']": it sounds like Wakanda and sets up a nice anapestic meter that creates the illusion of swiftness, action. Byronic, almost:
The Wakandan came down, like the wolf on the fold...

But Sherikia sounds like a botched attempt at a shriek.

Why not take some random terms out of the Physician's Desk Reference? Add a weird syllable or change the spelling to make it authentically "sick." For example:

Dyptherea

Edeema

Loopus

Ameeba

#6  There is *absolutely* no voter fraud in Michigan. Or so our betters tell us. But it does seem rather common for a box of ballots that somehow got overlooked to show up at the last minute in a close race.

After the last Presidential election, they tried to do a recount in Detroit, but had to call it off when there were too many precincts where the actual number of ballots in the storage box did not match the total written on the outside.

MI uses paper ballots that the voter runs thru the scanner personally on election day. But the only thing stopping someone from running them thru again after hours is personal integrity.

What was her reward for this malfeasance?

The Michigan Democratic party honored Hawkins this year with the prestigious Dingell/Levin award at its annual Legacy Dinner in Detroit, and she was included in the Michigan Chronicle‘s “40 under 40” list in 2017.

About par for the course. It's Detroit.

#2  ...technically, yes. There was an examination of voting in New York and Florida (snowbirds) with participants from both parties. It wasn't organized nor done by people in positions to manage or oversee the voting process.
