(13,582 posts)Remove every one and allow only credentialed vote counters back and then allow only the minimum number of observers in. If somebody makes a ruckus- throw their ass out and do not replace them.

(22,874 posts)Something tells me there would be a lot of wet pants in that group.. but better to let the police arrest them if they get rowdy and let them spend a afternoon in the pokey and have to come up with the money to get themselves out..

(16,932 posts)With their names. I had copied it from the Internet and saved it. It doesn't look they r's do anything but lie, cheat, steal, and bully. I hope the people in Detroit hand in there.
Lasher
(27,556 posts)They were all GOP staffers from out of state, I believe. Could you share it here?
Marthe48
(16,932 posts)I wish I could just copy and paste. Also, I left it on the desktop in the basement, and finished down there for now. I did a quick check on google and didn't find the same picture.
I will bookmark this page and try to get it to you soon. I guess I can try to email it to your du address.

(27,556 posts)I guess I could just dig it out myself if it's that important to me.

(22 posts)As someone who lives in Detroit, it has been my personal observation that Chief Craig is a man of integrity and I have every confidence that he will handle this situation in a no-nonsense manner.
I attended a Detroit Police Academy graduation a while ago (by the way, a very moving affair) and he relayed to the graduating class his own personal experience of fellow officers engaging in unethical ehavior and standing up to do what was right in that situation.
He is very engaged with the community while doing his job and will follow the law in dealing with this matter. Hes definitely one of the people youd like to have in his position in a moment like this

(1,402 posts)There is no end to the depths the Reps will stoop to!!! If Joe Biden has won the Presidency fair and square they should get the message that we absolutely do not want DJT and his cronies in our White house. The presidency should never have been his in the first place - he stole it.

GreenEyedLefty
(2,073 posts)Similar setup as the one in Detroit, except we were in multiple "pods" (rooms). Our pod counted the ballots for the city of Southfield.
I half expected a belligerent group of protesters but 1) the building was locked and 2) there were sheriff's deputies at the doors all day.
There were "election challengers" in the room with us. They did not interfere with us, they just watched. As far as I know there were no challenges. The most action was at the adjudicator's table.
