Republican clerk pushes back on GOP chair's 'categorically false' claim
Republican clerk pushes back on GOP chair's 'categorically false' claim
By Cameron Jenkins - 11/06/20 09:32 PM EST
The City Clerk of Rochester Hills, Mich., Tina Barton, shot back at GOP chair Ronna McDaniel on Friday, refuting claims that 2,000 ballots previously marked for Republicans were given to Democrats.
"The accusation that 2,000 ballots were found is categorically false. As a Republican, I am disturbed that this is intentionally being mischaracterized to undermine the election process," Barton said in a video posted to Twitter. "This was an isolated mistake that was quickly rectified once realized."

Barton continued by voicing her confidence in the current ballot count in her state.
"Every voter should have complete confidence in our voting system. Every vote that was cast was counted accurately and there is a paper ballot back up. I stand by our reported results."
