Known insurrectionist and Confederate statue ally Ryan Kelley has found a new way to baffle voters ahead of the Michigan gubernatorial election. Kelley, a GOP candidate in line with Trump who pronounces “nuclear” like George W. Bush, is running on a platform fully committed to the Big Lie. According to his campaign website, his first day in office would include canceling contracts with Dominion, ES&S, and Hart—the three voting machine companies Michigan relies on for its elections. And, by his own remarks, Kelley is hoping voters take matters into their own hands when it comes to pushing back against nonexistent voter fraud.

During a campaign event in Livingston County on Saturday, Kelley urged voters to unplug tabulation machines if something doesn’t look right. Mike Detmer, who is running for state Senate and also appeared at the event, urged voters to even show up to polling places armed. Both of those suggestions, as Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel noted on Twitter, are absolutely, 100% illegal—not that a lack of legality ever stopped Kelley from doing something before. Anyway, here’s Kelley in his own words: “We’re gonna make sure, like at TCF Center, there was 4,800 people working the election and like 160 of them that were Republicans, right? We want 50-50. If you see something you don’t like happening with the machines, if you see something going on, unplug it from the wall.” 

Detmer’s statement took things one step further: “The Second Amendment isn’t there for hunting rights, it’s there for self-defense. The Second Amendment is there. The founders put it there to protect all the others. And it says to the government the people have the right to stop what’s going on.” Detmer eventually added that, to combat “injustice,” “we need to be prepared to lock and load. So, if you ask what can you do, show up armed.” Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson confirmed in an interview with CNN that bringing a firearm to a polling place is not just illegal, but unsafe.

Local media considers Kelley a right-wing activist and real estate broker whose American Patriot Council actually called for the arrest of both Benson and Nessel. Despite not even appearing in recent polls because he ranks so low in voters’ minds, a parenthetical on Kelley’s LinkedIn profile helpfully declares him “Governor Kelley.” Detmer’s LinkedIn profile is much more subdued, though the Michigan MAGA candidate can boast that he got the endorsement of Donald Trump. Kelley may have a snowball’s chance in hell of becoming the governor of a state that already seems pretty content with its incumbent, but Detmer is currently running unopposed, per Ballotpedia.
