Trump campaign's star witness pursues a second act
Mellissa Carone’s contentious performance as a star witness at a December 2020 Michigan election fraud hearing catapulted her overnight from unknown IT contractor to Saturday Night Live parody character.
Now she’s trying to parlay her notoriety as a leading election denier into a seat in the state legislature.
Carone is one of a large cohort of pro-Trump Republican conspiracy theorists and election deniers running for public office this fall in Michigan, where his baseless claims about a stolen election continue to roil the political landscape.
Among those candidates, Carone might be the best known nationally. In an affidavit from November 10, 2020 — six days after the AP called Michigan for Joe Biden — she alleged that some ballots were counted 4 or 5 times; that more than 100,000 ballots were then “found” after vans dropped off food for the poll workers; that poll workers were filling out ballots on behalf of voters; and that her managers, who were responsible for overseeing the voting site where she was present and submitting the data, were incompetent.

She's the one who appeared with Giuliani and said she was a poll worker. I sarcastically said at the time that's true if you spell it p-o-l-e. Turns out I was right.
