In an extraordinary turnabout that foreshadows possible legal action, the two GOP members of Wayne County's election board signed affidavits Wednesday night alleging they were bullied and misled into approving election results in Michigan's largest metropolis and do not believe the votes should be certified until serious irregularities in Detroit votes are resolved.
The statements by Wayne County Board of Canvassers Chairwoman Monica Palmer and fellow GOP member William C. Hartmann rescinding their votes from a day earlier threw into question anew whether Michigan's presidential vote currently favoring Democrat Joe Biden will be certified. They also signaled a possible legal confrontation ahead.
"I voted not to certify, and I still believe this vote should not be certified," Hartmann said his affidavits. "Until these questions are addressed, I remain opposed to certification of the Wayne County results."
Added Palmer in her affidavit: "I rescind my prior vote to certify Wayne County elections."
Both GOP board members said their concerns included there were discrepancies in nearly three quarters of Detroit's precincts poll books where ballots are supposed to be matched to qualified voters.
"The Wayne County election had serious process flaws which deserve investigation. I continue to ask for information to assure Wayne County voters that these elections were conducted fairly and accurately. Despite repeated requests I have not received the requisite information and believe an additional 10 days of canvas by the State Board of canvassers will help provide the information necessary," Palmer explained.
Their pronouncements come just 24 hours after a chaotic meeting in which the county's election board initially failed to certify the Nov. 3 election results during a 2-2 deadlocked vote when both Palmer and Hartmann voted against certification. But after hours of contentious public comment and criticism -- including Democratic allegations of racism and threats against their safety -- the two GOP members struck a deal to certify the elections in return for a promise of a thorough audit.
Palmer and Hartmann said Wednesday they learned that state officials had reneged or would not honor the audit, leaving them no recourse but to oppose certification until more investigation could be performed.
It is unclear whether the Tuesday night compromise was binding or could be changed. But both GOP members said in the affidavits they felt misled and unduly pressured to change their positions the night earlier.
"The comments made accusations of racism and threatened me and members of my family," Palmer said in her affidavit.
The board members' actions were immediately hailed by Phill Kline, head of the conservative-leaning Thomas More Society's Amistad Project, which has been contesting election irregularities in several key battleground states like Michigan.
"I'm pleased Mr. Hartmann and Ms. Palmer reiterated their opposition to the certification of the Wayne County results despite bullying and threats and in the face of broken promises by Michigan's Secretary of State," Kline told Just the News. "Mr. Hartman is properly demanding answers from Wayne County election officials."
As nasty as their opponents were on camera, I’d bet serious money that they and their families were threatened with death when the harassers were off-Camera.
“I will bet the POTUS contacted them AND they have the protection they deserve!”
Maybe they also now know that some big whoop-ass is gonna happen to D’rats. SpecOps style.
Just like Biden's comment You Ain't Black, it assumes that zero blacks voted for Trump.
The guy's just not very bright...
The 29 year old Bernie Bro punk who threatened their children is from peace loving Yemen. Abraham Aiyash. Another Ilan Omar.
Aiyash, a Democrat of Yemeni-American origin, was elected to the Michigan House of Representatives and will assume office in January 2021 to represent District 4.
Last month, Aiyash told MEE that his key focus was to bring diversity and inclusion into the political process, as well as focus on domestic issues.
“Health care is going to impact us - education policy, environmental policy, too,” Aiyash said.
“Hamtramck, Detroit and Dearborn have the most polluted areas of the state. They [Yemeni Americans] are not fixated only on what’s happening in Yemen. They’re very much invested in what happens in our local communities on these issues.”
In his campaign, he said that his parents emigrated from Yemen and built a middle-class family in the district, which taught them the value of hard work, giving back and commitment to service.
“We need collaborative and progressive leadership in Lansing. We can reimagine a politics of the possible if we’re willing to engage ordinary citizens in our democracy,” his campaign statement said.
Aiyash has also been endorsed by Bernie Sanders.
We did it.
To my family, our incredible staff, volunteers, thousands of supporters, and the Aiyash Champions across Hamtramck and Detroit - thank you.
You believed in a politics of the possible. The fight for social, economic, and environmental justice continues. Onward. pic.twitter.com/7kWoI77eNx

"Ballot stuffing in the middle of the night was plan C at best and they needed too many, they had to do it as fast as possible.
This is why I say to look at these ballots [with ONLY "Biden" marked] in specific. Where did they come from? What were the other candidates. There's not one generic statewide ballot, each area has different candidates for things like county seats / districts / etc...
They left these blank because had they filled them in, we would have seen stupidly high turnout in the results basically pointing us right to which specific ballots need scrutiny. The devil is in what they're NOT telling us, not what they are. https://thedonald.win/p/11QRar47ya/"
I attended a few meetings of the local conservative organization headed by William Hartmann. I was heartbroken when I first heard of his vote change. So glad to see this update.

Funny to think he’d become the center of the biggest election fraud in history. He urged us to get involved as canvassers.
You remember correctly. The count got to the Detroit area, and when they found there were more votes cast than registered voters, Stein immediately pulled the plug on the recount.
And, “Nessie” Nessel disqualified herself from any further action by threatening contempt and jail time.
Sowed lack of understanding regarding “due process”; Judge, Jury and Executioner before the fact.
