Michigan Gives Free Pass To 2020 Fraudsters Who Tried To Swap Biden’s Victory For Trump

LANSING — A Michigan judge has dismissed every charge against fifteen Republicans who in 2020 signed certificates falsely awarding the state’s electoral votes to Donald Trump—a decision critics said treats an attempted election heist as a minor filing error.

The court described prosecutors’ evidence as “insufficient,” noting the documents looked like “ordinary forms” rather than tools to void millions of ballots. One observer compared the logic to letting off bank robbers for bringing official withdrawal slips.

The ruling follows a pattern in which Trump’s attempts to overwrite Biden’s victory are treated less like crimes and more like administrative hiccups. The scheme’s original designer already walked away with probation; now the signatories face no penalty beyond the inconvenience of remembering where they parked for court.

Supporters of the decision celebrated “a win for patriots,” while democracy advocates said the message is unmistakable: if you plan to counterfeit an election, just keep it tidy and official looking.

Attorneys for the prosecution left the courthouse shaking their heads, unsure whether the next election will be decided by ballots or whoever files the most convincing stationery.
