State Senator Lana Theis was among 11 Michigan Republican senators who signed a letter asking that Congress "pursue every available option" to examine claims of wrongdoing in the election, despite dozens of failed lawsuits and a lack of credible evidence of mass voter fraud.
The letter, which was issued on the stationary of State Sen. John Bizon, a Battle Creek Republican who serves as the Assistant Majority Caucus Whip, was one of two versions posted on social media Tuesday night. The original version asked Congress to "temporarily delay certification in the name of national unity." However, it was later replaced with a final version that removed that statement and instead called on "the imminent joint session of Congress to pursue every available option and procedure to examine the credible allegations of election-related concerns surrounding fraud and irregularities." An aide to Senator Theis told The Bridge that "The original letter posted on her social media was a draft, and not the final version. The correct letter sent to Congress has now been posted to her account."
