Why We Vote Ep. 142: Michigan’s Fake Electors, Dana Nessel, and Election Narratives

CannCon and Ashe in America dig into the latest developments out of Michigan after Attorney General Dana Nessel’s failed prosecution of the alternate electors. The hosts pull apart Nessel’s media spin, fact-checking her claims about Trump’s court cases, January 6th, and the so-called “basement coup.” They highlight the intimidation tactics used against Wayne County canvassers in 2020, the broken promises from Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, and the double standards in how election law is enforced. Along the way, they skewer mainstream media for giving Nessel airtime to slander acquitted defendants and contrast her narrative with the realities of audits, voter rolls, and election vulnerabilities. With sharp humor and blunt analysis, CannCon and Ashe remind listeners why accountability matters, why questions about elections remain legitimate, and why propaganda dressed as news should never be taken at face value.
