Grosse Pointe Public School System Board of Education Trustee Sean Cotton’s Feb. 4 testimony given before the Michigan House Education and Workforce Development Committee

Good morning, Chair and members of the committee.

Thank you for the opportunity to speak.

My name is Sean Cotton. I am a trustee of the Grosse Pointe Public School System, one of seven elected school board members, but I want to be clear that I am speaking only for myself today and not on behalf of the Board of Education….

…I am an elected official representing a community of about 50,000 residents. I strongly believe in local representation and in decisions being made as close to the community as possible.

LANSING, MI – Today, Speaker Matt Hall, R-Richland Township, issued the following statement in response to Attorney General Dana Nessel’s reckless opinion related to the waste, fraud, and abuse that is being moved into government slush funds:

Now is the time for those of us concerned about election integrity to stand up!

Some of us have been volunteer poll “watchers” or poll “challengers,” but there’s a better way. Michigan statute calls for parity at the polls between Democrat and Republican “workers.” The problem is that in some jurisdictions, there are not enough Republicans to fulfill the statutory requirement. This is especially true for Detroit, Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo.

That’s where you come in! Now is the time to raise your hand to be a paid election worker…

What is a phantom voter?

A phantom voter is someone who either 1) does not exist yet votes, or 2) someone who does exist, votes, but does not know that he or she voted!

To beat the Dems in 2024 at all levels, Republicans must prepare to “bank” as many votes as possible before Election Day. It’s a new and legal strategy that will reduce the ability of bad actors to cheat.

A vast network of liberal dark money is using ballot initiatives to buy substantial electoral reforms that would otherwise be impossible.
