Bay City (MI) woman signs affidavit in Trump campaign election lawsuit

This article shows she has no direct or first hand "proof" of voter fraud, which makes her the queen of hearsay. (I'll credit her with determination since the driving distance from Bay City to Detroit is 112 miles.)

Emphasis mine, and I'll post pertinent parts of the article, with a link at the bottom.
--------------------
When asked if the 77-78 million votes Joe Biden has received are flawed in some way, she says she believes so.

She took video of an election official explaining why more challengers were not allowed into the vote tabulating area, one of her complaints in the affidavit. She also believed more Democrat challengers were watching the vote count process than Republicans.

“Of the five people at a table, there were four Democrats to one Republican, or non-partisan,” she says. How does she know that? “I was told from inside the ballot room, by a supervisor,” she says.

She says she was concerned about how military votes were being counted as well. Eilf believes other possible illegal votes could shift the Michigan outcome to Trump.

“I think there was that many votes not being looked at with challengers,” she says.

3. Chalk it up to the fact that I've always been fascinated by abnormal psychology.

Making excuses and letting them get by with it is criminal in and of itself.

I have no doubt they would make any claim they think would help, and they do have some WILD imaginations.

Beliefs (aka "upon information and belief" ) legally constitutes "no evidence" and is inadmissible

I have done literally hundreds of motions for summary judgments (trials by affidavits) and you very rarely see an attorney use those words because its an admission that you don't have sufficient facts to prove the allegation. If those words are used such evidence will be universally disregarded by the court.

Not a lawyer here, but I’ve always been fascinated by the law, and a good 90% of these affidavits look to be here-say. The rest appear to be statements of belief not corroborated by any evidence.

Biden won Michigan by almost 150,000 votes. Does she seriously believe that that many votes were shifted? Jeez.

The baloney that she “believes” should be laughed out of court.

10. They hate the fact that Wayne, Washtenaw and Oakland counties swung this election.

Our turnout was extremely high and very blue.

Washtenaw went 72 pct for Joe Biden.

I wonder if the nurses know that they will be working harder because of this anti- masker
