LANSING, Michigan, June 6 (Reuters) - State police in Michigan have obtained warrants to seize voting equipment and election-related records in at least three towns and one county in the past six weeks, police records show, widening the largest known investigation into unauthorized attempts by allies of former President Donald Trump to access voting systems.

The previously unreported records include search warrants and investigators' memos obtained by Reuters through public records requests. The documents reveal a flurry of efforts by state authorities to secure voting machines, poll books, data-storage devices and phone records as evidence in a probe launched in mid-February.

The state’s investigation follows breaches of local election systems in Michigan by Republican officials and pro-Trump activists trying to prove his baseless claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 election.

The police documents reveal, among other things, that the state is investigating a potential breach of voting equipment in Lake Township, a small, largely conservative community in northern Michigan's Missaukee County. The previously unreported case is one of at least 17 incidents nationwide, including 11 in Michigan, in which Trump supporters gained or attempted to gain unauthorized access to voting equipment.

4. I expect they hit or attempted to hit

the 6 "contested" states - AZ, GA, MI, PA, WI, NV, NM.

We know what they did in AZ and attempted in GA, and also what was done here in PA for one very rural red county (after which the voting machines were promptly decertified by the (D) state SOS) and where AZ's Maricopa Co. machines were similarly decertified by the AZ's (D) SOS.

And I just found this where the House Oversight Committee is investigating more CyberNinjas-related "audit" shenanigans in NM and apparently the WI "audit" just got extended again recently.

And all I could find on NV was that they strongly resisted the loon "audits" although one rural red County there has considered replacing their Dominion Voting Systems machines (and as we know, that company has filed billion dollar defamation suits against multiple Kraken people and those are still ongoing, despite false assertions otherwise).

5. Why we are this long after the election to be doing this is beyond me. A Fucking COUP FCS.

Damn near a military one?

6. Would you prefer we use those machines next time? n/t

7. No. I am wondering why it took 18 months.
