Post-Election Poll Book Replacement – “Black Trunk” Delivery 13 Days After Election Night (MI)

[Established Fact – 71% imbalance documented; black trunk delivery confirmed by Palmer and Hartmann under oath; new poll books acknowledged] In the immediate aftermath of the November 3, 2020 election, 71% of Detroit’s Absentee Voter Counting Board precincts were mathematically unbalanced – meaning the poll book count of check-in voters did not match the number of ballots scanned, with some precincts reporting discrepancies of up to 600 votes. This figure represents more out-of-balance precincts than all other 82 Michigan counties combined. On November 16, 2020 – thirteen days after the election – Bureau of Elections Director Jonathan Brater directed Wayne County Canvasser Monica Palmer to contact Detroit’s Department of Elections Director Daniel Baxter about an “unlisted list.” Subsequently, a “black trunk” was delivered to the Board of Canvassers containing “new revised” poll books that retroactively balanced the AVCB precincts to a maximum discrepancy of 29. The original, unbalanced poll books were effectively replaced by new documentation of unknown origin and chain of custody, delivered days before the November 17 certification meeting.
