RNC sues Detroit, says city didn't hire enough Republican election workers
https://www.cbsnews.com/detroit/news/rnc-sues-detroit-republican-election-inspectors/
The Republican National Committee has filed a lawsuit against Detroit, alleging that city officials haven't hired enough Republican election inspectors, also known as poll workers.
Under Michigan law, commissioners "shall appoint at least one election inspector from each major political party and shall appoint an equal number, as nearly as possible, of election inspectors in each election precinct from each major political party."
...
According to the lawsuit, the city appointed 310 Republican election inspectors and 2,337 Democrats for the primary election on Aug. 6. This means that of the 335 precincts, 300 failed to comply with the "equal number, as nearly as possible" for election workers from each major party, and 202 precincts didn't have a Republican election inspector, according to the suit.
Of the 310 Republicans that were appointed, only 52 of the 675 nominated by Gnacke-Nemeth were appointed.
So Democrats hired 2,337 democrat poll works, but only initially hired 52 out of the 675 nominated republicans. Detroit allegedly hire another 250 republican workers later, but these weren't vetted by the Republican party, so they could be democrats as well.
Even if that grand total of 310 were legit republicans, that would still be a huge disparity and illegal by Michigan law. Legally, they should have been required to hire every one of the 375 republicans who were nominated.
This is how corrupt Democrats cheat, because it's the only way they can win. You can't tell me people in a city as broken as Detroit, run by Democrats for decades, don't know who's to blame.
