In Detroit, 93% of Republican applicants were rejected as poll watchers

In Detroit, 93% of Republican applicants were rejected as poll watchers: The American system worked for over two centuries because, for the most part, people played by the rules, which meant trying to make the more persuasive arguments that would result in honest election victories. However, socialism isn’t a “play by the rules” ideology. It is a “win at any cost” ideology. That brings us to Wayne County, Michigan (i.e., Detroit), which may be making up the rules as it goes along when it comes to poll watchers.

Memorably, during the 2024 election, when Republican poll watchers tried to keep an eye on the ballot counting—which had shut down on election night only to resume for days afterward—poll workers covered up the windows.
