Norman D Shinkle

On November 23, 2020, again serving on the Michigan Board of Canvassers, Shinkle abstained from certifying the state's 2020 presidential election results even though all 83 counties in Michigan had certified their results, Joe Biden had won by more than 154,000 votes, and there was no evidence of wro...ng-doing.[6] Shinkle's decision to abstain came after President Donald Trump made false and baseless of fraud in the 2020 election, and after Trump and his allies sought to delegitimize the election by getting Republican Party to not certify election results.[7] A fellow Republican on the board, Aaron Van Langeveld, ultimately gave the decisive vote to certify the election results.[8] Tim Alberta of Politico described Shinkle's decision to abstain as "a cowardly abdication of duty." On April 26, 2012, Shinkle, serving on the state elections Board of Canvasers, along with co-Republican Jeffrey Timmer, voted to reject[4] almost a quarter million voter signatures for a ballot initiative to repeal the Michigan Public Act 4 — Michigan's Emergency Manager law.[5] The two Republicans rejected the petitions, saying that the "font size was not 14 point", despite testimony from the printer that it was. The Republicans ruled that the font size of the letter "N" was smaller than required by state law, thereby invalidating the signatures.

Hired this clown for my defense (it was a real estate case the nature of which would bore you to death), and he insisted that he was going to prepare a case centered around income tax fraud. I am like, dude, huh? My case is about real estate, not income tax. Moreover, on the day of the trial, r...ight as the proceedings are underway, this guy, Shinkle, who I hired as my defense attorney, walks over the other bench and officially states that he is now serving as the prosecuting counsel in this case! Seriously, I did not hire you for this, Shinkle! Long story short, this nincompoop went to great lengths to subvert the will of his client and went well out of his way to execute his own motives and not my own. Do not recommend.

By not being a mindless sheep following the herd, (certification of questionable votes) He in my mind, is a genuine patriot that follows the letter of the law (Constitution). Thank you for being the honest man you are and trying to get to the truth. I’m sure besides half of michiganders, half of the... USA would be happy to know you are fighting for us. THANK YOU AGAIN!
