Hello there! Today, we’re going to talk about Proposal 2 – “Promote the Vote”. This proposal will be on your November 8, 2022 ballot. We will go over the language that will appear on your ballot itself, as well as the language that will be placed into the Michigan Constitution, should it pass the November election.
Ballot Language
Here is the language that you will see on the Ballot for Proposal 2. It will be under the “Proposal Section” and “State” subsection.
“Proposal 22-2 A Proposal To Amend The State Constitution To Add Provisions Regarding Elections.
This proposed constitutional amendment would:
- Recognize fundamental right to vote without harassing conduct;
- Require military or overseas ballots be counted if postmarked by election day;
- Provide voter right to verify identity with photo ID or signed statement;
- Provide voter right to single application to vote absentee in all elections;
- Require state-funded absentee-ballot drop boxes, and postage for absentee applications and ballots;
- Provide that only election officials may conduct post-election audits;
- Require nine days of early in-person voting;
- Allow donations to fund elections, which must be disclosed;
- Require canvass boards certify election results based only on the official records of votes cast.
Should this proposal be adopted?”
The Initial Takeaway & Opinion
If you know how the corrupt elite operate, the ballot language makes it easy enough to “read between the lines”. Despite the rather glaring omission of nearly every relevant & important factor in it’s attempt to make this sound like it’s “for the people”. In fact, this couldn’t be further from the truth and this amendment seeks to remove any ability We the People have to oversee our government and the elections we allow them to conduct on our behalf.
This ballot proposal is unequivocally against the people and seeks to keep the control over OUR elections entirely out of your hands and my hands.
This is how they operate. They present us with vague flowery sounding language which sounds great, when it is absolutely contrary to the actual truth of what they are trying to accomplish. The sooner we all recognize that nearly everything that the corrupt elite “ruling class” tries to push on us, is to erode the rights of We the People, the better off we will be. This ballot proposal to amend our State Constitution is no different and is a complete affront to our rights.
It is imperative that you read and understand what is written below. If you do, and you love our State and our Republic… Your choice this November (or sooner if you can’t vote in person) will be crystal clear. But, we’ll do our best to break down some of the more nefarious clauses in this proposed amendment and help you read between the lines.
However, before we get to reading the language… We want you to know the following facts so you can consider them as you read this proposal:
- A private multinational corporation is in charge of our voting machines, and they are the ones who conduct the poll watcher/worker training in our very county.
- Currently, the Michigan Constitution grants citizenry the RIGHT to audit and oversee OUR elections by means of the State Legislature which has FULL plenary authority over our elections.
- Currently the Michigan Secretary of State is being allowed by the legislature (which is “Republican” controlled), to basically act as the sole arbiter of Election policy, despite them having the real authority as granted by both the Michigan and United States Constitution.
- Private money was selectively allowed to help finance different aspects of “convenience” or our election in 2020 (Zuckerbucks). The Michigan SOS turned a blind eye as the provider of these funds was allowed to dictate policy on how the money was used in contravention to the actual law.
- There was a strong grassroots effort to scientifically or “forensically” audit our election via a private & impartial third party which was ignored by the vast majority of our Republican legislature and flat out demonized by the Democrats.
Keep these key points in mind as you carefully read and re-read the full proposal language. Try to imagine, if you will, that these people have the gall to openly utilize both private money to shape policy and solely rely on private multinational corporations to actually COUNT our votes… all as they seek to prevent actual citizens of Michigan from being legally able to exert our Constitutional authority over OUR elections.

Final Takeaway & Opinion
So, right off the bat, they begin their assault. But, before we go into what is being proposed – know this: The more time you allow the collection of ballots, the more time you allow for the possibility of cheating. It’s a simple matter of common sense. Multiple days to vote = multiple more ways they can cheat.
In the first paragraph, the agenda begins to be clear. Absentee ballots, once reserved for military and medically incapable, now becomes a norm. Unwatched, unchecked ballot drop boxes (like mailboxes) become the norm. Nine days of “early voting” becomes the norm. They will allow corporate money to shape the policy of elections, yet they will only allow government sanctioned “election officials” to conduct post election audits.
Let me be very clear here. Despite the efforts of this verbiage to make our officials sound benevolent and “on our side”… This is clearly and obviously not the case. We need to always realize that We The People are the ones who are in charge of our government. This first paragraph is in complete contravention to the notion that power rests with the people on every single level imaginable and is enough for me to want to burn this document and throw the ashes into the depths of the ocean.
If the glaring lack of chain of custody we found in 2020 was concerning to you, you certainly should be concerned at the prospect of this passing. Multiple weeks of the collection of ballots allows an untold amount of ways for the ballots to be tampered with, destroyed, replaced, and otherwise fraudulently dealt with.
If you ever want full transparency and citizen oversight of our elections, this ballot measure simply must not pass.
And all this is from the first few words of the document…
Here’s a bullet point itemization of everything notable this amendment seeks to “accomplish”:
- Allow the receipt of any absentee ballot within six days after the election, and sent in 45 days prior (51 days for ballots to be lost, changed, altered, or otherwise tampered with and no oversight being required).
- This proposal will permit (in times of a tie) the Board of Canvassers to decide the election by “drawing of lots”. What could POSSIBLY go wrong??
- The “right” to be automatically registered to vote as a “result of conducting business with the Secretary of State”. Is already there. It needs to be removed. Why? It is NOTEWORTHY that you do not need to be a US citizen in order to obtain a Driver’s License or conduct business with the Secretary of State. The author of this article’s mother is a Canadian citizen. In an example of how this is already working… the author’s mother received an unsolicited voter registration card from the Secretary of State. In addition to this, now they want to add the below clause. It really doesn’t take a broad imagination to see where this will lead to.
- Will allow voting even if a person is unable to present identification. In lieu of an ID, a person will be allowed to simply sign an affidavit to “verify” their identity. It is worth noting that some Republican legislators in Michigan recently attempted to provide free state ID to anyone living here. The Democrat Governor (Whitmer) vetoed this legislation. The agenda is glaringly obvious to anyone with eyes to see.
- The right to vote absentee without giving a reason.
- The “right” to apply for an absentee ballot once, and to get it sent out in every subsequent election. You KNOW what will happen if they move… Our SOS is actively engaging in law-fare in order to KEEP DEAD PEOPLE on the voter rolls as I write this. The more “ballots” they can send out, the more latitude they have in manipulating the numbers.
- ONLY the Secretary of State will be allowed to conduct audits. We can clearly see how that went pursuant to 2020. Patriots are STILL waiting to have a Full Forensic Audit. If this passes, no grassroots citizen will EVER be allowed into office by the establishment elite ever again.
- They are attempting to “centralize” early voting by permitting “early voting sites” to serve multiple precincts (up to 6) for up to 9 days.
- They will allow counties, cities, and townships to accept “publicly-disclosed” private funds (allowing permanent Zuckerbucks) which opens the door to a nearly unlimited amount of potential manipulation and fraud.
There’s really not strong enough language we can use to encourage you to vote HELL NO on this. The passing of this insanely TERRIBLE proposed Michigan Constitutional Amendment would be an unmitigated disaster. The passage of this proposal would ensure that we have even LESS control over our elections, and will essentially remove plenary authority over our elections from our direct representatives in the two chambers of our legislature and place it under the thumb of ONE person who can hide behind corporate money and influence MUCH easier than the direct representatives of We the People.
This amendment MUST NOT PASS. And WE must encourage every single person we know to vote NO on this (and the other two proposals. You can find Proposal 1 here, and Proposal 3 here).
With resolute determination,
