    2018 Michigan State Senate Race September 2017 This is a preliminary report on the 2018 Michigan State Senate races. It includes filed and prospective candidates from each of the 38 Senate districts along with district maps and current Senators. The information in this document is taken from multiple sources.

JEFF IRWIN, MINORITY VICE CHAIR SENATOR EDWARD MCBRO OM FAX: 33932 CHAIR April 9, 2021 Patrick Colbeck Dear Mr. Colbeck, You have sought to make a second appearance in front of the Senate Oversight Committee to discuss the 2020 election. You assured me in a private conversation that your second appearance was essential due to new information that you feel the Committee must know. The Committee is close to completing its report on the investigation into the 2020 election therefore, it is critical to me that I have some summary of why you need additional time to add to your previous testimony. I have recently reviewed your testimony given to the Committee December 1, 2020, and also spent time on your website, reviewing your information and presentations. When you spoke to the Committee, you referenced many opportunities for fraudulent votes to be cast due to various laws or procedures being violated at TCF. You spoke to knowing that the systems were connected to the internet when they were not supposed to be. I asked if you could prove that such a connection had resulted in some changing or manipulation of votes but you did not have that material. I do not see such definitive demonstrations in your materials. I asked for a specific source for the page showing fractional voting which you did not have but promised me I would receive.

Defendants did not do so as a form of “revenge” and to “punish” Plaintiffs and their counsel for speaking as Plaintiffs baselessly assert. Plaintiffs’ claims were frivolous where they alleged no facts supporting personal jurisdiction over the Michigan Defendants, where Plaintiffs lacked standing to sue over their generalized grievances of harm to every voter in the Nation, and where Plaintiffs’ substantive constitutional claims were unsupported by the facts and contrary to existing case law.
