In November 2020, Antrim County resident, William Bailey, hired Matthew to represent him in his lawsuit against Antrim County and the Michigan Secretary of State’s office, to conduct his own audit of the November general election irregularities in Antrim County. Matthew and his team were able to capture forensic images of the Dominion Voting machines. Since that time, they have conducted forensic analyses of those images to fully understand what went wrong in Antrim County prior to, during, and after the 2020 general election. Matthew has published 21 legal reports based on his findings from the forensic audit.
For months, Matthew has tried to take his findings to the Michigan Legislature, asking for their support in demanding a Statewide full forensic audit, to no avail. Michiganders deserve more from their elected officials, and as American Citizens, our constitutional right to ensure fair, free, and secure elections. Matthew has been attacked many times from elected officials, including Dana Nessel, but he has not backed down. Matthew is committed to conducting a full forensic audit in Michigan and as Michigan’s Attorney General he will hold those responsible for voter fraud accountable. He is committed to ending government lock downs and mask mandates. As Attorney General, Matthew will fight to protect the civil liberties of all Michigan residents, state's sovereign rights, and return us to our Founders' concept of a Constitutional Republic.
