Regarding the 1:29am van showing up with the last load of ballots in Detroit, I was there during that, along with 40+ conservative poll challengers still all over the hall. The truck came in, many people saw it and it was announced it was the last truck. I could only guess at how many ballots it possibly brought (2500? Still tired/brain foggy). We had people photograph the van to determine it’s origin. There was also a blue pickup that came in with it but parked near the garage entrance, I kept an eye on that to make sure nothing was “offloaded” from the closed bed for as long as I could, but didn’t babysit it for the next couple hours for final tallies.
For what it’s worth, not many conservative poll challengers from second shift (8pm til whenever) had left when this truck showed and last ballots distributed, and some of our team had been there from first shift. Even when I left there around 3:30 am there were still 10+ challengers at Huntington Place to make sure ballot boxes were secured with the serial #d security tags to record the numbers, verify the vote totals and get copies of ballot summaries off each tabulator.
I poll watched one of the late remaining truck delivered tables, recording the “people that weren’t registered and had to be entered by hand right there” fiasco (illegal) along with the # of people that all mysteriously registered on the magic date of 10/10/2000. Our team has to gather and see what comes of that.
Couldn’t help but notice about 8 law enforcement that patrolled through however. They had olive drab outfits, black tactical vests that read “Police” but were definitely not your local city or county constables that I would say (not enough “michigan spare” in the midriff and sidearms/holsters more military grade). I did not see a presence of local thuggery enforcers that would have been present from the 2020 election.
Gotta go, but before signing off there was a polling machine I was watching that had a glitch while I was watching the operator try and comment on a manually entered voter that now had two votes and that required an explanation. A critical error popped up along the lines of “sorry, press ok to restart the application ” (at which point I thought it was white hats and was expecting a good show as the machine now connected to the internet!). I recorded the event as best I could as it took a couple of techs about 15 minutes to manually save the 855 records done so far and restart the application. You could tell the internet was still connected as “Breaking News” now showed up in the taskbar, and a “ Stor n Go D:” popup came up. I have more details on this, but again I thought it was something our team did.
Hope the detailed insight helps, we’re doing what we can here in Michigan. Uber out
There’s video of a late night drop in Detroit.
it amazes me that people can pretend to be so clueless about how the mail works, and how states collect and count absentee ballots. You want to stop this, send out GOP operatives early on to low-motivation voters and get them to fill out absentee ballots, rather than wishing on a star that those people who care less will pick themselves out of a chair on election day.
Where legal, harvest ballots. Get conservatives into nursing positions in nursing homes, to either talk to old people and help them with ballots, or at least to report when other nurses are filling in ballots.
keep up the church registration drives, but add absentee ballots, add bus trips to early voting sites.
The democrats are winning because they made voting easier and put a lot of effort into scaring ignorant voters and then giving them ballots. We can do the same.
Or we can follow the Trump plan of discouraging our side from voting except on election day, and watching them not show up because things get in the way.
She got more votes this time because the rats control the SOS. The first time there was a Republican SOS.
In another thread there are timestamped pix of rental van delivering ballots after polls were closed, and no transit log signing ritual. Didn’t see this year’s video, just the pics. It looks like they started getting counted a little after 3 am; the timestamps were on the pix.
