Rep. Maddock’s office was staffed on Monday morning.
@CraigDMauger Another hostile misleading hit piece from fake news Mauger. Typical session days for the legislature are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The House starts session at 1:30 or noon. Senate usually 10am and most sessions last from 4-20 hours. Prob an average of 6 or 7. Legislators

So they work remotely the other days?
@CraigDMauger You're being intellectually dishonest. You know the state legislature only works Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. It's been that way for years. You're trying to get a gotcha moment, and people who don't know how Lansing works will lap it up. Do better.

Since 2023, it’s been unclear why the Attorney General’s office focused on the electors, many of whom appeared to have little understanding of their roles, and not the lawyers and consultants who guided the electors strategy to try to overturn the vote.
Questions about who led the false electors strategy on the ground in Michigan and how they advised the electors here during a meeting on Dec. 14, 2020, will likely go unanswered. Those questions also helped sink the criminal cases.
