President Trump on Tuesday argued that voting machines in Michigan had substantial errors, citing a statistic from a report released Monday that has since been disputed by top state election officials.
Trump tweeted, “68% error rate in Michigan Voting Machines. Should be, by law, a tiny percentage of one percent.
“Did Michigan Secretary of State break the law? Stay tuned!” the president added.
……..
Trump also wrote in a tweet minutes earlier, “Tremendous problems being found with voting machines. They are so far off it is ridiculous. Able to take a landslide victory and reduce it to a tight loss.”
……..
Both of the president’s tweets have been marked with a warning label by Twitter, saying, “This claim about election fraud is disputed.”
The error rate was just one of a series of claims included in a 23-page report on voting technology in rural Antrim County, which a circuit court judge on Monday allowed to be released to the public.
The Detroit News reported that the information gathered was part of a legal fight and had previously been under a protective order, which prevented its release.
The report from the Allied Security Operations Group (ASOG) argues that Dominion Voting Systems, which supplies election voting machines across the country, “is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results.”
According to the Detroit Free Press, Michigan Elections Director Jonathan Brater condemned the ASOG report, arguing that it “makes a series of unsupported conclusions, ascribes motives of fraud and obfuscation to processes that are easily explained as routine election procedures or error corrections, and suggests without explanation that elements of election software not used in Michigan are somehow responsible for tabulation or reporting errors that are either nonexistent or easily explained.”

At this point it seems like we're in the midst of a vast sociological experiment — just how many Americans will continue to believe his lies after they've been repeatedly and relentlessly debunked and dismissed from court after court after court? https://t.co/TahGjPFhCG
