Pro-Trump activists could knock on your door asking questions about the 2020 election

Conservative activists are knocking on doors across Michigan to hunt for evidence of “ghost votes” and other alleged “anomalies” used to re-litigate the 2020 election.

A spokesperson for the Michigan Secretary of State said residents have no obligation to answer questions about how they voted and pointed to 250 statewide audits that affirmed President Joe Biden’s victory. Organizers with Election Integrity Fund and Force said the door-to-door canvassing effort, announced at a Tuesday rally outside the state Capitol, is modeled after a similar attempt in Arizona to discredit the 2020 election.

“The people of Michigan spoke clearly and unequivocally last November,” said Tracy Wimmer, spokesperson for the Michigan Department of State. “Any effort to violate citizens’ privacy or intimidate them by showing up at their doorstep demanding to know how they voted is a desperate attempt to further sow seeds of doubt about election results that were a secure and accurate reflection of the will of the voters.”

Organizers said volunteers are already visiting homes in Oakland and Macomb counties. County Clerks for both counties could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

Answer with a firearm if you have one. The repugs in Montana are planning the same BS, I plan to answer with a pistol in hand. Nobody ever comes to my door unannounced so I'll know they are coming before they touch the door. I also plan to call the police and the ACLU and anyone else who can fuck over their shitshow.

Didn't AZ try to do this & got smacked down?

I can't believe the DOJ let that shit show in AZ go on. We should have shut that shit down. Now the media is reporting it as a legit audit, & the precedent has been set that a private entity can question election results, demand access to our ballots & voting equipment, & perform their audit however the fuck they want, federal audit guidelines be damned. Then they & the media get to call the whole fucking farce legit when they're done. We are going to see this ploy over & over & over until until they steal enough elections that we will be permanent one-party rule. We are so fucking close to that already.

tell them they are trespassing and to leave immediately and that I was prepared to use my pepper spray, followed by bear spray if they did not. I would record that entire exchange while doing so.
