Just never ends.

Sidney Powell's back with a new filing in Michigan. The election, she says, "is a lie." She has experts to prove it. Up first: The guy who confused Minnesota for Michigan, who clearly doesn't know how vote totals get reported.

Michigan: Results get reported in batches, after we've counted a bunch.

Powel: Aha! But you didn't say *these* results were in batches. Ergo, "289,866 ballots tabulated on November 4 must be disregarded."

Did I mention that some of Powell's witnesses now get cool codenames? Here's "Spider."

He worked on anti-aircraft systems, and with that experience he has proved that Iran AND China hacked Dominion's vote-counting machines (which aren't connected to the internet).

For what it's worth, the 305th Military Intelligence Battalion isn't "responsible for protecting the country from enemy guided missiles." It is an "entry level training unit." But that's one of the smaller misstatements so far.

Powell claims she has piles of evidence from experts about statistical anomalies in the election. But it's basically a huge stack of filings from people who don't know how votes get reported, or think it's suspicious that people might vote for Trump in 2016 but not 2020.

I'm not making this up. This expert's opinion is based on the assumption that everybody who voted for Trump in 2016 must also have voted for him in 2020. (I'd say no way you ever get that into court, but people get some weird stuff into court sometimes.)

Another expert says the fact that more Democrats than Republicans requested absentee ballots is suspicious. Though, you know, the Republican president specifically encouraged his supporters not to vote absentee.

One of the expert witnesses is literally arguing that more people in the suburbs voting for Democrats is anomalous so basically they shouldn't be trusted until they're proven to be real. Not the usual approach to election challenges.

Sidney Powell told a federal judge in Georgia Sunday that her team examined a tabulating machine in Michigan and found that 1,474 votes "were changed."

She filed that report today in Michigan, and it seems that's the *total* number of votes; the discrepancy was 3 votes.

Powell's expert (again, guy who mistook Minnesota for Michigan) does suggest *all* the votes were changed. But that's pretty weird since the election night and recount totals were the same and Trump won that precinct by a ton.

In fact, this scheme was so nefarious it potentially resulted in allowing retail marijuana in Central Lake Township, after a "no" vote disappeared in a recount, thereby breaking a tie and allowing a local ballot proposition to pass.

It's maybe puzzling that a vast conspiracy of top Democrats, Detroit poll watchers, Hugo Chavez, Iran, China, the Republican Governor of Georgia and so many others would care enough to rig the outcome of a Central Lake Twp. (pop. 2,174) marijuana referendum, but here we are.

Not saying you should. But you can.

I used to correspond with an inmate who spent years litigating to prove the feds put a microchip in his butt because a DEA agent made a wisecrack that that's how they'd finally tracked him down.

That case was waaay more connected to reality than what's going on here.
