Tony Daunt applauded a state Senate committee for having the 'courage' to report there was no evidence of widespread fraud and criticized Trump for leading people 'astray' with 'lies.'
Daunt, who previously challenged Michigan's"sloppy" voter rolls, was appointed in January to the board, which is tasked with certifying election results. Also a member of Michigan's Republican State Committee, Daunt is of the camp that doesn't see Trump as an asset to the party and, with midterms next year, condemns him for harping on the last election.
Seven months after the election, the Republican-controlled Senate Oversight Committee published a report on its findings. The committee concluded there was"no evidence of widespread or systematic fraud," which contradicts Trump's claims. It also said those who have touted Antrim County as"prime evidence" of a conspiracy to steal the election have"zero credibility.

Parker held the hearing to determine whether Powell, Lin Wood and other pro-Trump lawyers should be disciplined for a lawsuit they filed last November that made baseless claims of widespread voter fraud in the U.S. presidential election in Michigan.
