Michigan Election Official Deployed CIS/EIP Pipeline to Censor Factual Reporting of Confirmed Antrim County Algorithmic Error – Including Suppression of Presidential Speech (MI)

Following a confirmed algorithmic glitch in Antrim County, Michigan, that temporarily and incorrectly assigned 6,000 votes – switching them from Republican to Democratic candidates – a Michigan state election official filed a report to the CIS censorship portal explicitly to stop “individuals… using this incident to spread misinformation.” The official’s own words acknowledge the goal was not to correct a factual error but to prevent the public from learning about and discussing a documented government error in election technology. CIS forwarded the report to both CISA and the EIP’s Jira ticketing system. The EIP then flagged a series of URLs containing reporting on the Antrim glitch – including posts by the sitting President of the United States on his official @realDonaldTrump Twitter account – to Twitter and Facebook for censorship or labeling. The Antrim County glitch was not a fabrication or misinformation; it was a confirmed government error, documented in official Michigan records and later extensively litigated. The government’s deployment of the censorship infrastructure to prevent the public from discussing a real, confirmed government failure in election administration – rather than to correct a false factual claim – is among the most constitutionally indefensible documented applications of the EIP apparatus, and may represent the clearest case of government officials acting under color of law to suppress accurate speech about their own official conduct.
