In Detroit, 93% of Republican applicants were rejected as poll watchers
American Thinker ^ | 08/27/2024 | Andrea Widburg

The American system worked for over two centuries because, for the most part, people played by the rules, which meant trying to make the more persuasive arguments that would result in honest election victories. However, socialism isn’t a “play by the rules” ideology. It is a “win at any cost” ideology.

That brings us to Wayne County, Michigan (i.e., Detroit), which may be making up the rules as it goes along when it comes to poll watchers.

Memorably, during the 2024 election, when Republican poll watchers tried to keep an eye on the ballot counting—which had shut down on election night only to resume for days afterward—poll workers covered up the windows. They claimed it was to protect the counters’ privacy, but it was hard to see in that move anything other than an attempt to make cheating possible.

Republicans were told that everything was kosher, so shut up and don’t ask for further information. This was not comforting, nor was it the kind of openness one would expect from people with nothing to hide.

In this election, it seems that Detroit is once again putting the pieces in place that will make cheating easy. I’m not saying they’re going to cheat; I’m just saying that if you’re planning to cheat, this is one way to do it:

“In a recent development in Wayne County, Michigan, more than 700 Republicans applied to be poll watchers for the upcoming elections. However, out of the 2,350 poll watchers hired, only 50 of them were Republicans. This stark contrast has raised concerns among the Republican community about fair representation and transparency in the polling process.

What recourse do we have? Other than multiple indignant postings on FreeRepublic?

“Memorably, during the 2024 election...”

######################

Pretty sure the author meant the 2020 election.

It damages one’s credibility when one doesn’t get the facts straight, however accidentally or innocently done.

“I’m not saying they’re going to cheat”

Oh Please. That’s obviously what they’re doing.

Time to file lawsuits. Shop for a favorable judge and file.

Do what the Democrats do: litigate, litigate, litigate.

Of course they’re going to cheat. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

Brian Kemp our so called Republican governor in GA is asking the AG if he has the authority to remove the 3 members of our election integrity committee that have managed to push through a number of election reforms. What does that tell you about GA?

What is the D/R split in the county?

The RNC should sue…….lawfare…….if the % are out of whack. The reps should be able to bring in folks from the hinterland, but like PA, the probably have to work in the county where the live…….bullshit

Here’s a question:

If Detroit and MI are so true blue, then why does Deep State have to steal their elections...?

"Time to file lawsuits. Shop for a favorable judge and file."

Is "a favorable judge in Detroit" an oxymoron?

You wanna know what the split is?

Forget party. Party means bugger all anymore.

The split is this...

We have 50 red states.

And 50 blue, meaning Deep State controlled, legislatures.

As long as that’s the case we will NOT be voting-with-our-feet our way out of this.

And what did they use as the criteria for rejecting them?

Regardless of the population, each precinct should have the same number of observers from each party.

how did the DNC ETM (Election Theft Machine) let those last 7% through?

well, nothing to be concerned about. The DNC ETM will make sure they’re locked in the toilet when the votes are “counted”
