Protesters crowded the Michigan State Capitol on Tuesday, demanding an audit of the 2020 presidential election.

The rally was organized by a group called Election Integrity Fund and Force. The organizers said they originally anticipated roughly 100 attendees. One independent reporter, Brendan Gutenschwager, said the rally had grown to at least a few hundred people.

The demonstration comes just days after former President Donald Trump promoted the event in a statement calling for an audit of the state's 2020 election results.

"Big Michigan Rally coming up on Oct. 12th, on the Capitol steps in Lansing, where Patriots will demand a Forensic Audit of the 2020 Presidential Election Scam," Trump wrote in a statement. "The Voter Fraud is beyond what anyone can believe. Anyone who cares about our Great Country should attend, because unless we look to the past and fix what happened, we won't have a future or a Country."

1. Don't these people have jobs ?

Or are they getting paid by some American Taliban groups to protest?

[Marthe48]

19. Yes, they do this

Although good luck actually getting paid.

[Ohioboy]

2. The article said a few hundred

A few hundred doesn't sound like that many. However, just the idea that anyone would actually still be promoting the "big lie" is disgusting and concerning.

[Kaleva]

8. It isn't many. It's a tiny percentage of TFG voters in the area.

[PortTack]

20. Latest stats show tfg cult members are less than 19% of the electorate. That's a small number

[louis-t]

3. And he's still using the same scare tactics to promote

unrest and violence. Throw him in jail. Soon.

[RKP5637]

11. Yeah, SOS again. He figures it worked, no repercussions to him, so he'll keep going.

I hope this sociopathic criminal eventually serves time!!

[Bayard]

4. "beyond what anyone can believe."

We can't believe you're still pushing this crap. Loser.

[NCDem47]

5. I predicted when Biden won...

That these Trump a-holes will cause a scene EVERY FRICKIN' DAY until the next presidential election. Total shit-stirrirs and absolutely relentless.

I don't recall elected Democrats and followers doing all this crap when Trump won.

[robbob]

15. I recall "Sore Loserman" chants

In the 2000 election because Al Gore protested and wanted a recount in Florida, the state Jeb Bush promised his brother he would deliver for him.

[MustLoveBeagles]

29. The protesters surounded their house

Demanding they get out of Dick Cheney's house.

[Rocknation]

6. TRANSLATION: "The Voter Fraud is beyond

what I can bring myself believe."

Shall we audit the 2016 election while we're at it?

7. Several hundred thousand TFG voters live within a short drive of Lansing, only a few hundred showed

Over 200,000 TFG voters live in Wayne Count (Metro Detroit) alone. A little over an hour's drive to Lansing.

[PortTack]

21. Link please

[Kaleva]

32. Here is the link

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_presidential_election_in_Michigan#By_county


In Wayne County, TFG got 264,553 votes. In Ingham County, where Lansing is located, TFG got 47,639 votes. In nearby Oakland County, TFG got 325,971 votes.

9. Pig Man baby Pig...for every deformity there are plenty of perverts

[multigraincracker]

10. 200 is nothing. I've been to demonstrations at the Capital

with 10s of thousands that stretched down Michigan Ave. all the way to the campus in East Lansing.

[llmart]

22. Me too.

A couple hundred is nothing. I was at the Million Mom March against gun violence in the year 2000 (I think that was the year). It was a sea of people.

[ananda]

12. More dark money funding protests, as if on cue.

This is getting so fucking old.

[droidamus2]

13. Requirement

These people should be required to state what they are seeking by doing the audit. Are they asking that the vote certification be changed? Are they suggesting that somehow Fat Donnie can be reinstated? Do they even know that there is no constitutional method for a defeated presidential candidate to be reinstalled as president. The best they could hope for is that Camala Harris would move up to president and if they tried to get her out the Pelosi becomes president. I would suspect that none of those outcomes would be what they want. So in the end they are just saying they want their state to spend possibly millions of dollars just because they can't accept their guy lost fair and square.

[riversedge]

14. I certainly have had enough of trump sour grapes cult.

[DownriverDem]

16. Pure Bull

Michigan's elections were secure. This is just to create chaos. I abhor repubs.

[Marthe48]

17. EIFF off

n/t

[yaesu]

18. Maddow tweeted about one of the deplorables there

23. She and that hairdo look like she just stepped out of the 1950's.

Nice non-answer to what the Q stood for.

[yaesu]

24. or the ussr 1990. NT

[llmart]

25. LOL

The blue eyeshadow is also a nice touch. Who's her makeup artist? Mimi from the Drew Carey show?

[lapfog_1]

31. The Q is the highest level of security in the federal government

no it isn't.

[SouthernDem4ever]

26. a few hundred Michigan morons

how quaint, and stupid.

[Crowman2009]

27. Are they from uber-religious West Michigan or the racist rural thumb area?

That's where the state's deplorables usually originate from.

[SouthernDem4ever]

28. haven't they become interchangeable?

it's hard to tell anymore

[Kaleva]

33. Over a quarter million deplorables live in the Metro Detroit area

75% of TFG voters in MI live in counties considered urban or mostly urban. 25% live in counties considered rural or mostly rural.

[BlueStater]

30. These fucking losers are insufferable.

I’m guessing they never heard the word “dignity” once in their pathetic lives.
