Link to tweet
Michigan State Police on Thursday opened a criminal investigation into the disappearance of election equipment in a rural township after the local clerk who has boosted 2020 election fraud conspiracy theories and QAnon memes online was stripped of her authority to run next weeks election.
A tablet that is a key part of how the voting machine operates was reported missing from Adams Township earlier this week, Bridge Michigan reported.
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson had banned Adams Township Clerk Stephanie Scott earlier from overseeing the municipal election next week after Scott refused run accuracy tests on or allow a vendor to conduct mandatory maintenance of the voting machine.
Hillsdale County Clerk Marney Kast, who the state tasked to replace Scott to run the election, discovered that the tablet was gone on Tuesday when she opened the tabulator case that she had collected from the Adams Township hall. She described the tablet to Bridge Michigan as the brains of the machine.

You know how the republicans project so much... why did she not allow the equipment to be checked for accuracy? And then the equipment goes missing too?
Something is fishy here. Bigtime.
