MI Secretary of State Benson: ‘No Legal Avenue’ for Two Republicans to Rescind Certification Vote; Doxxer Wanted to ‘Illegally Vote‘ in KY, SC
2020-11-21
[Breitbart] Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D) said Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s "Live" that there was "no legal avenue" for two members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers to reverse their votes.

Benson was reacting to Monica Palmer, the Republican chairwoman, and William Hartmann, the other Republican member of the four-person Wayne County board signing affidavits late Wednesday, saying they want to rescind their votes to certify the county’s election results.

Palmer and Hartman initially voting against certification then later voted for it after hearing from outraged voters on Tuesday.

Benson said, "Well, notably, there are a lot of protocols in place under which the canvas and the county board meet. It has to be an open meeting. There has to be a vote taken, there has to be an adjournment. All of those things lead into an official certification, and all those things have happened here. So there is really no legal avenue for any type of overturning of that."

She continued, "That doesn’t mean — again, this has been par for the course —you won’t see a PR strategy to try to sew seeds of doubt and create confusion about the process. But the law is actually quite clear on this. Every county in Michigan has certified the results following a post-election canvas. That certification has now been given to the state Board of Canvassers. They are scheduled to meet on Monday to formally certify the state-wide electors and move forward from there."

Democrat Who Attacked Kids Of Republican Canvasser Asked To Be Taught ‘How To Illegally Vote’ In Other States

[NationalPulse] Abraham Aiyash,
...dear friend of “The Squad” member Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-Palestinian)...
a representative-elect for Michigan’s State House from the fourth district, inquired if someone could teach him "how to illegally vote in Kentucky and South Carolina" on Twitter.

The unearthed comments follow Aiyash helping dox and intimidate Republican representatives in Michigan who, at first, refused to certify the state’s election results. Aiyash publicly outed the school in which one of the Republican officials’ kids attended:

"You, Miss Monica Palmer from Grosse Pointe Woods, which has a history of racism, are deciding to enable and continue to perpetuate the racist history of this country. And I want you to think about what that means for your kids, who probably go to Grosse Pointe North."

Aiyash, who ran unopposed, implored "someone" to "teach" him "how to illegally vote in Kentucky and South Carolina" on November 6th, 2020 — just days after the fraud-ridden presidential election.

According to his bio, he was a surrogate for Bernie Sanders
...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being an Independent socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around...
 in 2020 and has been affiliated with a host of Democratic Party
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
 organization such as bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit
... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang...
 Young Democrats and the Michigan Democratic Party:

"His professional experience includes working as the training and politicianship director of Michigan United, working for state Rep. Rose Mary Robinson (D), and working as a surrogate for Bernie Sanders during his 2020 Presidential campaign. Aiyash has served as a member of Michigan United, Detroit Young Democrats, and the Michigan Democratic Party. He has also served on the boards for the Sierra Club, One Hamtramck, the Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
i American Political Action Committee, and People’s Community Services."

#6  Their "agreement" was obtained under threat; it's invalid. You can't hold a gun to a person's head, have them sign a contract, then argue the contract was voluntarily entered.

#5  From UpCounsel.com

There are other situations under which a contract may be said to have been signed under duress. If a person is forced to sign a contract at gunpoint, that would obviously be a case of signing under duress. However, any type of threat or other cause of stress that one party puts on another party may be considered duress; a physical weapon is not required.

Contracts can only be legally signed under a party's free will. Any type of coercion is considered duress if it allows one person to take advantage of another. Modification of a contract may also be done under duress.

The determination of duress is not whether or not the threat truly exists, but whether or not the person honestly believed that it did. However, a party can only claim duress if the other party in the contract was the one who caused the duress.

Say what you want about Newsom, at least he is a straight up liar.

These people are bugwits.

#4  Now this repulsive little thug is encouraging attacks on Monica Palmer:

On Thursday night, Powell told host Laura Ingraham that Staebler’s attack did not stop with the Zoom video. She alleged that Staebler also used his social media platform to “repeatedly dox” her by posting her home phone number, home address and email address online, and “encouraged people to stop by” her house to express their anger.

#3  So, and not suggesting it but just as an example, but its Ok for someone to hold a gun to the Secretary's head and force her to declare the election void.
Or is there 'No Legal Avenue' only for Republicans?

#2  Maybe the Secretary never had a class concerning 'under duress' and the legal validity of statements done under such conditions.
