Report Finds 'No Evidence' Of Fraud In MI November 2020 Election

LANSING, MI — There is no evidence proving significant acts of fraud in Michigan's 2020 November election, according to a report released Wednesday by a Republican-led Michigan Senate Committee that reviewed claims of fraud following the general election.

The 55-page report submits that there are issues that need to be addressed with the election process moving forward, but explained that there is no evidence proving "significant acts of fraud."

"The committee finds those promoting Antrim County as the prime evidence of a nationwide conspiracy to steal the election place all other statements and actions they make in a position of zero credibility," the document reads.

The report comes following a months-long investigation by Michigan Republican lawmakers after former President Donald Trump and other Republican political officials claimed there was widespread fraud in the 2020 election.

President Joe Biden won Michigan by more than 154,000 votes against Trump.

The Michigan Senate Oversight Committee's rebuke of the false election fraud claims is the latest instance that conspiracy theories surrounding the election have been shot down.

"Citizens should be confident the results represent the true results of the ballots cast by the people of Michigan," the report reads.

The report, which was developed through testimony from nearly 100 people, the review of election documents and other interviews, calls for Nessel's office to "investigating those who have been utilizing misleading and false information about Antrim County to raise money or publicity for their own ends."

Initial results in northern Michigan’s Antrim County, which has roughly 23,000 residents, showed a local victory for Biden over Trump. But it was attributed to human error, not any problems with voting machines, and corrected, The Associated Press reported.

Three Republicans on the committee did recommend legislation to “close real vulnerabilities” in future elections, The Associated Press reported. Bills are pending, including proposed tougher photo ID rules that passed the chamber last week and are opposed by Democrats.
