Police have now been called in to the Detroit counting room to try and protect the doors.

Here too. Can confirm. Police have now been called in to the Detroit counting room to try and protect the doors. Feels like the fake GOP “riots” in Florida in 2000.

In fact, the ⁦@MIGOP has so overwhelmed the Detroit vote counting room with “challengers” (most who are not lawyers), preventing actual Dem lawyers from actually getting in. Sure feels like a deliberate attempt to try to steal the election.

To 'observe' the counting. Could get ugly fast.

[Bluepinky]

5. This is insane.

They can’t stop the vote counting because they don’t like the results.
I am so sick of their antics. Throw them out.

[GaYellowDawg]

6. Well.

The police need to pretend that all of these "challengers" are BLM protestors and taze/gas the fuck out of them.

Might I suggest some pepper spray?

33. x1000

Remove every one and allow only credentialed vote counters back and then allow only the minimum number of observers in. If somebody makes a ruckus- throw their ass out and do not replace them.

[BumRushDaShow]

22. They were going to attempt to do this here in Philly

but I noticed that they opened the streets back up around the Convention Center where they are doing the mail-in ballot counting.

[George II]

25. They're idiots. Okay, stop the counting. Biden is ahead by about 40,000 votes. HE'S WINNING!

[LiberalFighter]

32. My thought too.

Maybe for each minute they stay there Biden gets 100 more votes.

[George II]

40. The lunacy is that they want to stop counting while they're behind!

[NoRoadUntravelled]

71. They've had that kind of backwards logic with a lot of things. Why else would they vote for Trump?

Trump voters don't seem to mind voting against their best interests.

[Chakaconcarne]

27. They've had to remove some disruptive Trump Team vote count watchers....

[Fla Dem]

28. Thugs, Trump's Thugs.

[LiberalFighter]

29. They should all be arrested.

I'm sure there is state law on who can or can't be there.

[Beartracks]

30. "Let us in"? Like the counting isn't already being conducted under heavy bipartisan scrutiny...

... by actual professionals.

31. I thought they were the 'law & order' party????

35. Arrest them Please

Call the National Guard in arrest these people.

41. What a sad knock off

of the original sh*t show from 2000. Doesn't he realize he's BEHIND in the count and stopping it ain't going to help his case.

[Peacetrain]

43. Interesting if Democratic challengers showed up behind those buffalo butts..

Something tells me there would be a lot of wet pants in that group.. but better to let the police arrest them if they get rowdy and let them spend a afternoon in the pokey and have to come up with the money to get themselves out..

[torius]

44. Are those Nazi salutes

or are they just taking selfies?

[gollygee]

45. Imagine if there were BLM protestors trying to break into the Miami-Dade voting counting room.

I wonder what would happen to them.

[MarkCross7]

48. Somewhere in that crowd are the next two conservative supreme court judges. n/t

49. This is Florida 2000 all over. They're trying to provoke lawsuits.

And appeal them all they way to the SCOTUS.

[Marthe48]

51. I just ran across a picture of 2000 mob

With their names. I had copied it from the Internet and saved it. It doesn't look they r's do anything but lie, cheat, steal, and bully. I hope the people in Detroit hand in there.

[Lasher]

57. I remember that picture well.

They were all GOP staffers from out of state, I believe. Could you share it here?

[Marthe48]

64. I don't know

I wish I could just copy and paste. Also, I left it on the desktop in the basement, and finished down there for now. I did a quick check on google and didn't find the same picture.

I will bookmark this page and try to get it to you soon. I guess I can try to email it to your du address.

[Lasher]

80. Thank you.

I guess I could just dig it out myself if it's that important to me.

[Marthe48]

81. Y.W. Someone else posted the picture

and someone else posted the picture with the names. On this post.

82. Aha, that's it!

54. Anyone know what Roger

Stone is up to?

56. Good. No Brooks Brothers riot this time

If they try it in Detroit, it will instead be the Crooks Brothers, and they can spend the night in jail, taking turns calling for someone to bail them out.

[yaesu]

58. doing the same thing they pulled in FLA, in2000, sending protesters to bang on the doors, lock those

thugs up!

[AdamGG]

59. Whitmer should deploy the National Guard to protect the counting

[BobTheSubgenius]

60. F'ing bastards!!!!

They have absolutely no regard for anything beyond "ME! ME! ME! I want. I want. I want."

[Corktown]

61. Chief Craig

As someone who lives in Detroit, it has been my personal observation that Chief Craig is a man of integrity and I have every confidence that he will handle this situation in a no-nonsense manner.

I attended a Detroit Police Academy graduation a while ago (by the way, a very moving affair) and he relayed to the graduating class his own personal experience of fellow officers engaging in unethical ehavior and standing up to do what was right in that situation.

He is very engaged with the community while doing his job and will follow the law in dealing with this matter. He’s definitely one of the people you’d like to have in his position in a moment like this…

69. How low can they go!!

There is no end to the depths the Reps will stoop to!!! If Joe Biden has won the Presidency fair and square they should get the message that we absolutely do not want DJT and his cronies in our White house. The presidency should never have been his in the first place - he stole it.

Biden has Michigan lock, stock, and barrel. It's done. Disperse from the premises or you WILL get locked, stocked, and both barrels!

[GreenEyedLefty]

73. I counted ballots yesterday in Oakland County, MI

Similar setup as the one in Detroit, except we were in multiple "pods" (rooms). Our pod counted the ballots for the city of Southfield.

I half expected a belligerent group of protesters but 1) the building was locked and 2) there were sheriff's deputies at the doors all day.

There were "election challengers" in the room with us. They did not interfere with us, they just watched. As far as I know there were no challenges. The most action was at the adjudicator's table.
