Because the only provided source claims different.
The case is not new news
The allegations at the heart of the Muskegon case — that a group submitted a large batch of suspect voter registration applications in the largely Democratic city — were covered in October 2020 by multiple media outlets, including west Michigan television stations WOOD-TV and WZZM-TV.
Muskegon Clerk Ann Meisch, who had alerted authorities, said at the time that her office had received an estimated 6,000 applications from a single organization. Most of the applications were valid, she told WZZM-13, but she estimated that "several hundred" had "irregularities," including wrong birthdays, addresses and signatures that did not match versions on file.
Bridge Michigan also reported on the initial state investigation in a "politics tracker" blog post published days before the Nov. 3 general election that officially saw Biden beat Trump by 154,188 votes.
“Any resulting registrations have been voided, and there is no expected impact on any election,” Michigan State Police spokesperson Shannon Banner told Bridge on Oct. 30, 2020.
The police documents detail execution of a search warrant at a GBI Strategies office in Southfield, where authorities found computer tablets, prepaid phones, T-shirts, pay cards and rental vans the group provided to canvassers hired to try to register potential voters in multiple cities, including Muskegon, Benton Harbor, Inkster, Flint and Southfield.
Police also found several guns in the group's Southfield office that were examined by an agent from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives but not confiscated because they were deemed to be the legal property of an employee, according to the law enforcement reports
It wasn't some higher up directing this, it was frustrated people, being paid -- not by the hour but by the filled out form they turned in -- attempting to game the system.

Cool, but no votes were cast, so this did not affect the count in Michigan so a claim that fraud occurred affecting the vote would be false.
I think he actually believes the bs he says!

And yet...GBI Strategies was running the operation and bankrolled it......
Can't have it both ways.
Was it common for you to have weaponry also in your HQ?
Can you explain why the FBI didn't investigate or hasn't publicly reported its findings?

I would be thrilled to be dealing with Trumps “failure” right about now.
Natural gas and water bill have gone up around 30% here. Gasoline $4.00 a gallon. Grocery prices have gone out of site. Older folks I work with have had to hold off retiring due to taking such a hit on their 401ks ( talking 250k to 400k losses)
Presidents don't control gas prices, you know... and the reason they got very low during Trump's admin was Covid meant almost nobody was driving. 635 here in Dallas was actually driveable during that time period.
I live next to a local police officer that told me it’s unbelievable how many people they pullover anymore end up getting their cars towed cause they can’t afford insurance or registration.
We're having a boatload of faked car registration tags (the paper dealer tags.) If Trump had stayed in power, you'd still see the same thing -- speculator companies buying up houses (remember those constant calls during Trump's time?), stupidly high rents, etc. Here in Texas the electric bills are going sky high but that's because of Mr. Abbot (not Biden or Trump) and permitting the companies to "recover costs" after the disastrous ice storm of a few years ago.
There are some things a president can control and there are other things they can't control (it's not in their job description and not permitted by law.) There's a tendency for people to think of the good things (lower prices, etc) as being due to having Their Guy in power... and any bad stuff due to The Other Guy being in power.
It's a complex picture. You can certainly complain about presidential moves, but it's best to separate what they can do from what they can't.

For what it's worth I'm not American so my perspective is one of an outsider looking in.
The graph certainly looks like something nefarious is going on but it's doesn't take much searching to find similar vertical jumps in other states:
There's a seemingly reasonable explanation given by a Laura Bronner here. I can't speak to the reliability of that site or Laura Bronner.
Sources tell ABC News that Trump's legal advisors have told him that holding such a press conference with dubious claims of voter fraud will only complicate his legal problems and some of his attorneys have advised him to cancel it.
