A Republican Lie (Just One Of Many)

 Jonathan Oosting tweeted: 

RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel: “Just last night in Oakland County, we found 2,000 ballots that had been given to Democrats, that were Republican ballots, due to a clerical error. And this took place in Rochester Hills.”

This is a lie.  Click here for a video posted by Tina Barton, the City Clerk of Rochester Hills, a Republican,  in response (44 seconds). Her accompanying post:

As the City Clerk of the City of Rochester Hills, this is my response to the inaccurate statement of [Ronna McDaniel].

 She also posted the following written response:

As a Clerk, my job is to run the elections fairly and securely. All ballots are and have been accounted for. There were no missing ballots. The accusation that 2,000 ballots were found is categorically false.

As a Republican, I am disturbed that this is intentionally being mischaracterized to undermine the election process.

This was an isolated mistake that was quickly rectified once realized.

Every voter should have complete confidence in our voting system. Every vote that was cast was counted accurately and there is a paper ballot backup.

I stand by our reported results.

Tina Baron, MMC, MiPMC II, City Clerk

We can expect a whole lot of lies and vitriol spouting from Donald Trump and his loyal henchmen over the next few days, as the reality of Biden's election sinks in.
