Kathy Funk, a former Flint Township Clerk, was found guilty of breaking a seal on a ballot box to prevent a recount of votes in her own election in 2020. The judge ordered her to wear an ankle monitor and write a public apology for her actions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite winning her primary election by just 79 votes, Funk sabotaged the ballot box, making the ballots ineligible for a recount. She went on to win the general election later that fall. The judge admonished her for her break-in theory, which she used to cover up her actions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Funk entered a \u201cno contest\u201d plea in January, and prosecutors agreed to spare her from jail time. However, she was sentenced to 24 months of probation and fines in addition to her house arrest. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The case has sparked controversy, with some calling for harsher punishment. But as Judge Mark Latchana pointed out, there is limited jail space, and Funk&#8217;s sentence is a reminder that election integrity must be protected at all costs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b data-stringify-type=\"bold\"><a class=\"c-link\" href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Flint Township Supervisor Karyn Miller expressed satisfaction with the verdict, stating that Funk must be held accountable for her actions. This case serves as a warning to anyone who would attempt to undermine the democratic process. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A local official in Flint, Michigan, was sentenced to six months of house arrest Monday for misconduct in office after sabotaging a ballot box in her own election in 2020.\u00a0 Kathy Funk, a Democrat and former Flint Township Clerk, was accused of breaking a seal on a ballot box to ensure that the votes couldn\u2019t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":324,"featured_media":1918908,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[8660,3652,5175,7386,6244,3728,3653,4601,25113,4918],"class_list":["post-1918907","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-wire","tag-box","tag-3652","tag-arrest","tag-ballot","tag-dem","tag-election","tag-house","tag-michigan","tag-sabotaging","tag-sentenced"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1918907","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/324"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1918907"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1918907\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1918908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1918907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1918907"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1918907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
