As someone who is neither a Democrat or a Republican, it has been my observation over the past few decades that it is usually the Republicans who are the hypocrites.

I'm not either a Democrat or Republican and i would amend your statement.

Both Democrats and Republicans are hypocrites, but the level of hypocrisy is not equivalent. The Republicans are much more blatant in their hypocrisy, but the Democrats are still hypocrites, nonetheless.

I think I figured out what the doxxing claims actually mean. This article links to a twitter post showing one of the commissioners who initially refused to certify the results also had a thing for posting vaguely racist memes about Obama and wild conspiracy theories - Republicans Keep Trying to Throw Out Black Votes After the Election. Guess to some people pointing out information freely made public by an individual is some terrible thing (contrast against claims by the GOP during recent hearings that Twitter shouldn't be policing content, but instead the answer to objectionable ideas is speech calling out that objectionable speech).

President Donald Trump called at least one of the two Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers on Tuesday evening, before the GOP board members said Wednesday they wanted to "rescind" their votes to certify the presidential results from the county in Michigan, even though the board has already certified the results, The Washington Post reported.

Monica Palmer, a GOP board member in Wayne County, the largest in Michigan and home to the city of Detroit, told the Post she received a roughly-two minute call from the President on Tuesday, saying she felt no pressure to change her vote from him.


Presidents probably call her all the time to chat.

The Trump campaign dropped its lawsuit in Michigan alleging voting irregularities on Thursday, including the two affidavits from the GOP board members

71% of Wayne County (Detroit) precincts reported more votes than voters (first video), and that one county, which tips the state to Biden, had its Dominion Voting Machines USB keys and laptop computer stolen a month prior to the election (second video):

... and the Trump campaign didn’t bring this up in court because?

Because the Obama appointed lawyers, acting under the orders of Biden and Soros, threw out the cases in order to install Socialism and enslave the American people.

Of course, why didn’t I think of that.

Yeah, that’s something I’ve noticed. There’s a real disconnect between what Trump and Co. are bringing up in the media and Twitter and such and what they’re actually trying to use in court. I keep hearing about all this evidence and how undeniable it is, but the stuff they show to the judge is comparatively more mundane.

Were I someone who believed all this stuff, I’d have to ask why that was.

Yep, the evidence does point to Donald and his team having a very low opinion of their followers. I wonder why more of them don't catch on.

It's so refreshing to find someone that actually understands their job.

Republican board member Aaron Van Langevelde crossed over to join the two Democratic board members in supporting certification. He said the board has a "duty" to certify Michigan election results based on county returns as the panel holds a pivotal meeting. Longtime GOP member Norm Shinkle voted to abstain and expressed concerns about out-of-balance counting boards in Wayne County.
...
Van Langevelde, an attorney who works for House Republicans, said he had reviewed state law and the board was simply required to canvass the county returns and determine the results.

"I've reviewed every section. I haven't found anything about an audit," Van Langevelde said. "I found nothing about authority for us to delay certification because we're waiting for more accurate results. I found nothing about making certification contingent on an audit. I found nothing that gives us the authority to review complaints for fraud.

"I mean, I think, the law is pretty clear here."
