The Kraken never existed- the expert report Sidney Powell used confuses Michigan with Minnessota

[Gothmog]

The expert report that is the basis on the fraud claims is based on an idiot who did not know that Michigan and Minnesota are two different states. He was counting the population of towns in Minnesota, seeing they did not match Michigan towns, and finding fraud.

3. Hinderaker is a douchebag anyhow. In the postscript he says:

"The [Minnesota] venues in question are all in red Greater Minnesota, not in the blue urban areas where voter fraud is common." Voter fraud is not "common" in the blue urban areas, or anywhere else in Minnesota, which for years has had one of the cleanest, most reliable election systems in the US, and one of the highest voter turnouts. Voter fraud is virtually unheard of anywhere in the state.

It's interesting, though, that even the Powerline blog, which is a right-wing cesspool most of the time, would start dumping on Trump's lawsuits. If Trump has lost Hinderaker he's in deep shit.

6. 'Exhibit Q': Lawyer Lin Wood Submits that Michigan Is Really Minnesota in Failed Pro-Trump Election

This amuses me https://lawandcrime.com/2020-election/exhibit-q-lawyer-lin-wood-submits-that-michigan-is-really-minnesota-in-failed-pro-trump-election-affidavit/?utm_source=mostpopular

The crux of Ramsland’s analysis, describing himself as part of the management team at Allied Securities Operations Group, tallies up precinct returns to allege that the 2020 election vote totals in Michigan exceeded the number of residents.

“Here’s the problem: the townships and precincts listed in [the relevant paragraphs of] the affidavit are not in Michigan,” author John Hinderaker wrote. “They are in Minnesota. Monticello, Albertville, Lake Lillian, Houston, Brownsville, Runeberg, Wolf Lake, Height of Land, Detroit Lakes, Frazee, Kandiyohi–these are all towns in Minnesota.”

That the affidavit is marked “Exhibit Q” has a special poetic justice considering that Wood represents the Republican Party’s Congresswoman-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene, an adherent of the QAnon conspiracy theory that holds her soon-to-be colleagues across the aisle are members of a sinister cabal of child-raping Satanists.

A 9/11 truther and anti-masker, Georgia’s Greene is big on 2020 election revisionism, too, parroting baseless theories about Dominion Voting Systems to explain why voters in the Peach State and across the county rejected the incumbent in favor of President-elect Joe Biden.

5. Trump's legal team humiliated after confusing Michigan with Minnesota in election fraud affidavit

You just cannot make this stuff up.

Donald Trump’s crack legal team Thursday filed a lawsuit alleging Michigan fraud that cited a list of seemingly irregular township voting percentages. Unfortunately, the data in a supporting affidavit might have more persuasive had it not come from two states away in Minnesota.

Yes, it appears “MI” for Michigan is easily confused by “MN” for Minnesota if the lawyers on your “elite strike force” legal team aren’t actually all that elite. In this case, the grievous error was flagged by none other than Powerline.com, a blog authored by some extremely conservative attorneys.,,,

“Evidently a researcher, either Mr. Ramsland or someone working for him, was working with a database and confused “MI” for Minnesota with “MI” for Michigan. (The postal code for Minnesota is MN, while Michigan is MI, so one can see how this might happen.) So the affidavit, which addresses “anomalies and red flags” in Michigan, is based largely, and mistakenly, on data from Minnesota.
