Bless our Detroit MI mayor and a lot of Wayne County MI people

Who spoke up about the blatant racism in certifying the election. Mayor Duggen said that now the state board needs to be watched. I like the way the mayor explained how all the problems happened. He explained how there are "out of balance" precincts and it dosen't mean any more than human error. Also that white areas were out of balance and the board had no problem with then. He also called out the folks who were pounding on the windows and threatening the poll workers.

She issued a calm, carefully-worded letter that said, in essence, “No need to panic. These kinds of issues arise semi-regularly. If Wayne County can’t certify, my office will step in and make the final decision—as we have done in the past and as we are authorized to do by law.”

That shut the whiny Republicans right-the-hell up. They knew that they were going to lose, either way, so they decided to act like adults, finally.

Governor, Secretary of State, and Attorney General as we had in 2016. That's why I think Michigan was stolen in 2016. Many skeevy things happened then that our current government isn't allowing to happen now.
