Matthew DePerno: Trump-backed GOP candidate for Michigan AG under criminal investigation for possibly tampering with voting machines, docs say - CNNPolitics
For months, the Michigan State Police and the attorney general's office have been investigating a series of voting machine breaches that took place in several counties around the state last year. According to the documents released Monday, that probe has led investigators to Kalamazoo-based lawyer Matthew DePerno, a Republican candidate running against incumbent Michigan Attorney General Dana Nesse.
The request from Nessel's office alleges that DePerno was present in a hotel room in early 2021 when a group of individuals performed unauthorized "tests" on voting tabulators they had seized from multiple Michigan counties -- suggesting investigators have evidence that directly links him to the potentially illegal breaches.
Its a symbol of an authoritarian extremist party to claim that all elections going against it are rigged and trying to tamper the voting or vote counting processes in the name of ensuring that the "true" result, which always they winning, becomes the reality.
