Flint, Mich. Clerk Resigns After Elections Group Calls Out Lopsided Number Of Democrat Poll Watchers
The Federalist ^ | September 23, 2022 | Victoria Marshall

Flint, Michigan’s longtime city clerk is retiring after an election integrity group sent a letter to her office demanding she balance out the number of Democrat and Republican election inspectors.

On Sept. 6, Pure Integrity Michigan Elections (PIME) and attorney Erick Kaardal of the Thomas More Society sent a demand letter to Flint and City Clerk Inez Brown threatening legal action if they do not balance out the number of partisan poll watchers before the November general election. As previously reported, during Flint’s Aug. 2 primary, the city hired 422 Democrats compared to just 27 Republican election inspectors — in direct violation of a Michigan state statute that requires equal representation of party election inspectors.

On Sept. 8, Brown, after serving as Flint’s city clerk for 25 years, abruptly announced her resignation effective Sept. 30 — roughly one month before the November election. Brown gave no reason for her resignation and caught city officials by surprise.

“My administrative office was taken by surprise,” Flint Mayor Sheldon Neeley told the Flint Beat. “I had no foreknowledge of this occurring this soon.” Because of Brown’s resignation, Neeley reached out to Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s office for help running the city’s elections. Benson is up for re-election this year, raising questions about the ethics of her involvement in Flint’s elections.

“Can her office be considered impartial in running the elections in Flint?” Patrice Johnson, chair of PIME told The Federalist. “The law states that if you are running for office, you cannot be an election inspector in the precinct in which you’re running.”

Despite such questions, Johnson sees Brown’s resignation as a step in the right direction.

I have worked the polls in my college town and they have a hard time getting Republican poll workers.

It’s a long day. Starts at 4 AM and ends at 10 PM.

I have to take a day off from work the next day to recover.

Then you need to find a way to get in front of someone, in person, who can tell you why and resolve this.

27 Republicans? They must have run out of Democrats.

AND, make sure you record every second and every word said when you get in front of them.

We need to change elections to Saturdays so Republicans, who have to work all week to support non-working Democrats, have the same ability to vote.

Election day should be a national holiday with everything other than emergency services required to be shut down.

“It’s a long day. Starts at 4 AM and ends at 10 PM.”

The witching hours of the fraudsters.

If you’re not involved in securing our elections, you have no right to complain folks.

GET INVOLVED!

RESIGNS? Ought to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law (or whatever remains of it) and thrown the slammer for 25 to life for corrupting elections. In a sane and just world, they’d strip him of his retirement!

422 Democrats to just 27 Republican election inspectors is brazen, outrageous and corrupt to the core. And to think this idiot never thought he would get caught is even worse.

Just think about how long this has been going on, all over the country, not just Michigan, when no one was paying attention. It’s no wonder the Left has secured the foothold that it has.
