Even though it was announced on Wednesday that Joe Biden won Michigan, a viral Instagram post with a screenshot of the vote tally for Michigan, is suggesting otherwise.

This is false. The Michigan secretary of state’s website does not say Trump won. 

On Thursday morning, the secretary of state’s office quickly clarified the matter on Twitter, explaining that “Michigan’s election system is decentralized,” and that the media gets to see real time results from “local jurisdictions.”

Fact check: because Michigan’s election system is decentralized, results are reported from local jurisdictions to counties, and only after a county has all jurisdictions reporting are its results added to our website. Media get real time results from local and county sites.

What’s more, the screenshot included in the post clearly shows that the results listed  included only 80 out of 83 counties.  

Michigan’s election results have since been updated with data from all 83 counties. The results show a win for Biden with 2,790,648 votes and Trump with 2,644,528 votes.

Khaya, some of my Trumpster FB friends have been promoting the claim that Trump had all ‘official ballots’ watermarked and sometime soon, any minute now, maybe tonight, if not tomorrow, but certainly by Sunday, he is going to “prove” the massive fraud from the Democrats. Have you heard about something like this?

This was just posted on my FB page by a seriously delusional friend. Sounds QAnnon to me:

BQQM 🎇 ELECTION FRAUD UPDATE!!!

If you have been following for a long time and you know the term "watch the waters" you probably understood it to mean the 3 gorges dam but it was never referring to that!! The "watch the water" intel refers to .....THE WATERMARK on the official election ballots!!!! The original ballots are also registered on a QFS blockchcain to prevent fraud. 12 states were targeted. The National Guard has been deployed to 12 states: Alabama, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Texas, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Washington, Virginia, Delaware, Illinois and Kentucky and they are now counting the official ballots!!!!

The DEMS fell right into the trap of this sting operation and TRUMP has it all!!! Fraud will be exposed for the world to see.

And isn't it fancy how the amazing Justice Amy was confirmed right before the election so that she can rightfully take care of the business of election fraud.... Oh and this is only the beginning of the EPIC times that lie ahead!!!

So, did Trump win by a landslide? You will soon see that he did!!!!!!!!
