Complaint to unseat Monica Palmer from Wayne Co. Board of Canvassers to be investigated

The Wayne County Board of Ethics voted to look into a complaint challenging Monica Palmer's standing on the Wayne County Board of Canvassers on Wednesday.

The complaint follows a sea of criticism from Black and civil rights leaders who were outraged by an initially split vote Tuesday by the board of canvassers that denied certification of election results. Palmer, along with Republican William Hartmann, later changed their votes to favor certification after a barrage of complaints.

Critics said Palmer was outright racist and suppressing minority voters after she said she was open to certifying results outside of the city of Detroit and that some precincts were out of balance. Hartmann said there have been problems with Detroit tabulation and election administration in the past that needed to be fixed. 

Wednesday's vote allows Palmer 21 days to respond to the complaint, filed by Thomas Breutsch. The process then allots Breutsch seven days to respond to Palmer's response and then gives Palmer another seven days to respond to his response. The board is expected to address the complaint at its next meeting Jan. 20.
