“It was all suspicious.”
Elizabeth Forlini was a Republican Poll Challenger in Detroit the day after election day. She helped process the military ballots. She was present when the City of Detroit decided to cover the windows of the TCF Center in order to prevent the Republicans from seeing inside. When she was finally let inside, five hours after arriving, she saw that there was a huge partisan imbalance.
She was made to wait, but she was going to make sure she fought for the integrity of Detroit elections.
“There was not a Republican at every table. That place was loaded with hate. When we’d walk by, they’d turn the envelopes over.” Forlini said the Republicans were vastly outnumbered inside, even though dozens were left waiting hours to come inside, for an official excuse that has evolved over time and most recently has been that the building was at “COVID capacity.”
