Established Fact
At approximately 1:00 p.m. on November 4, Detroit Department of Elections officials closed the TCF Center AVCB doors to credentialed GOP challengers citing overcrowding – while simultaneously admitting uncredentialed Democrat-aligned operatives. Windows were subsequently covered with cardboard pizza boxes to prevent excluded challengers from observing counting through glass, specifically timed to coincide with processing military ballots requiring bipartisan witnessing. A document entitled “Tactics to Distract GOP Challengers” was reportedly observed on the counting floor.
