MI-SEN: Mike Rogers ties 2024 Senate loss to a 'van in Detroit with ballots'

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers has claimed, at events in recent weeks, that a single van carrying ballots in Detroit "swung" his 2024 race against Democrat Elissa Slotkin, according to two videos of remarks reviewed by The Detroit News.

During a speech in Muskegon on Oct. 17, Rogers spoke about a van in Detroit "showing up" at about 5:30 a.m. on the morning after Election Day with ballots. When Rogers said the word "ballots," he made an air quote gesture with his left hand.

Detroit, a Democratic stronghold and Michigan's largest city, has long been a Republican target of unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud.

"We ended up losing that thing by about 17,000 votes," Rogers said after making the air quote gesture.

If the vote between him and Elissa had been last Tuesday instead of a year ago, you could have added a zero to the margin of his loss, and then doubled or tripled it.

I suppose that’s all they got, using episodes of tv series to gaslight us into their reality.
