A Michigan Democrat election clerk has received no jail time after being found guilty of abusing her authority as clerk, rigging her election by tampering with ballots on election day.

Kathy Funk, former clerk of Flint Township, is being put under house arrest, forced to wear an electronic monitor and write a public apology after pleading no contest to the election tampering charges. She was found guilty of tampering with ballots to prevent a recount after narrowly winning her clerk election in 2020.

“I’m sure there’s a segment of the population that thinks you should be locked up for calling into question the integrity of an election,” Judge Mark Latchana said on Monday. “And if we had unlimited jail space, perhaps that’s true. But we don’t.”

After committing this fraud, Funk would be promoted to be elections supervisor for Genesee County. The man who promoted her, Genesee County Clerk-Register John Gleason, would go on to be charged with felony witness intimidation and misdemeanor willful neglect of duty, which involved the alleged harassment of two females in his office.

It should come as no surprise that Funk and Gleason were front and center in the cameras to deny the existence of election fraud in the aftermath of the criminal 2020 presidential election – well before any real investigations or serious inquiry could be conducted.

“My staff worked extremely hard on the election and balanced the number of ballots every day,” Funk said. “At the end, our counting board rechecked the numbers and counted each precinct. I’m confident in the integrity of our election and elections across the county.”
