Remember when GOP poll challengers were kicked out of Detroit’s absentee ballot counting room on the day after the 2020 election? Can you guess which type of ballots they were counting? If we told you they were UOCAVA votes, would that mean anything to you? Does the average American citizen even have a clue what the acronym ‘UOCAVA’ stands for?
