REPORT FROM SW MICHIGAN
Despite predicted record turnout in our African-American precincts, there were few poll workers in these sites, resulting in VERY long delays (hours) before folks could vote.

A report was made to Lansing, and the Governor HERSELF reportedly called the Kalamazoo City Clerk and told them in so many words TO GET THE LEAD OUT AND GET POLL WORKERS THERE NOW!

Holey Moley Andy! Supposedly poll workers magically appeared within a half hour.

1. I hope that the word gets out
and any discouraged voters come back in the evening.
