Someone needs to step in and protect those heroes in Detroit

[Cheezoholic]

Those folks are busting their ass to count these votes. They never get any recognition or gratitude, it's a thankless service. Those folks are the true patriots, true heroes. I've worked various aspects of elections for over 30 years and I know how hard and contentious it can be. There are rules to be observers. These disgusting self righteous disrupting mini trumps there are true fucking deplorables. The police need to pull up a bus and throw every one of them in the slammer for felonious disruption of an election and assault.

1. The police are there

And they seemed to have good numbers of officers inside

[pandr32]

2. Agreed

3. Whitmer can call National Guard to that facility, can't she?

[BusyBeingBest]

4. If he's allowed to successfully declare victory like this--chaos and legal challenges

and intimidation--we are fucked as a country. It's over.

6. You give up too easily

Organize.

5. Our ballot board meets in a closed room with blinds drawn over the windows

So many Magat "poll watchers" crowded the area that finally the blinds were opened but they had to stay outside the building. They were crowding around the doors of the room that the workers couldn't get out to use the restroom.

They just "KNEW" cheating was going on

7. Exactly

That's my point. Why are they letting them storm the place? It's hard enough to accurately check, verify and count ballots with the observers over your shoulder. I've never had any trump, dick or Harry allowed to come up and harass me, it's illegal. You have to be a certified observer! The public can watch from a distance, usually separated from us like you said, a window. This is appalling to me.
