Kayleigh McEnany confuses standard election process for fraud in Detroit

[marmar]

(Detroit Free Press) Speaking on Hannity on Fox News Wednesday night, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany suggested that Detroit election workers counted dozens of ballots cast by ineligible voters assigned birth dates that would make them 120-years-old.

McEnany's comments mischaracterized a routine process used by election officials.

In an affidavit filed with Wayne County Circuit Court Wednesday, Chris Thomas, the former director of elections for Michigan who served as a special adviser to Detroit City Clerk Janice Winfrey, explained that software used by election workers required entering a birth date for absentee ballots cast by voters whose date of birth was not available to election workers.

In cases where a placeholder date was needed, election workers were instructed to enter the birth date January 1, 1900. That date was later corrected. .............(more)

4. I'm seeing a common thread here

The GOPers shouting fraud don't seem to understand (or care) how elections work. For example, not anyone can walk into a polling place on election day and claim to be a poll watcher: real poll watchers are usually (I say usually since state laws vary and I'm most familiar with the ones in my state) chosen by their parties before an election and trained so they know what's legal and what's not. The same with observers during ballot counting.

Wait until MagaNinny finds out that it's legal to remake ballots in California. It's done when a ballot is damaged by weather (or charred when an arsonist torches a ballot box) or is otherwise unreadable by machine. It has to be done with the approval of the registrar of voters, and there is a panel with representatives from the main political parties watching to make sure the ballot is reproduced exactly like the damaged one.
