Secretary of State and Atty General have said their legal arguments are rubbish.
Their certification concerns due to COVID are also rubbish.

Called them out for not wanting to certify Detroit (majority black community) vs having no problem with Levonia (majority white community) which had bigger variances in vote discrepancies.

Won't try to change their minds, but wants to let them know:

"The trumpstink and stain of racism you've covered yourself in will follow you throughout history. Your grandchildren will think of you like Bull Connor or George Wallace. You will be forever known as two racists who did something so unprecedented that they disenfranchised hundreds of thousands of black voters in the city of Detroit because they were ordered to. Monica, you probably think Q told you to do it, or some other crazy stuff. But just know when you try to sleep tonight that millions of people around the world on Twitter now know the names Monica Palmer and William Hartmann as two people who are completely racist, and without any understanding of what integrity means, or a shred of human decency. The law isn't on your side, history won't be on your side, your conscience will not be on your side, and lord knows when you go to meet your maker, your soul is going to be very, very warm."

Apparently they thought better of it and reportedly certified it.

They backed off because they 100% would never work in this field ever again if they kept at it.

Trumpism is white nationalism, which doesn't view PoC as citizens; thus the votes from black cities like Detroit (and Milwaukee, Philly, Atlanta, etc) are 'fraud' and must be discarded.

The GOP has long worked behind the scenes to suppress the votes of PoC but now they're attempting to dump votes in broad daylight.
