Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI've gotta take a break from the Michigan Canvassers Meeting. Shinkle & his co-conspirators are
raising my blood pressure. Who needs it. And this could go on hours. I think I heard the Chair say that 700-800 people are wanting to speak (?) I hope I heard that wrong. If each one gets allegedly 3 minutes (STFU, Shinkle) this could take days.

This is direct targeting of minority voters in Detroit.

Ms. Toad
(34,126 posts)I don't think that's enough to charge him criminally for voting against certification in his role as a member of the Board of Canvassers.

That could move it into the criminal sphere.
Ms. Toad
(34,126 posts)don't know if they are all going to be permitted to speak.
Fortunately, Langevelde (R) has been pretty firm in his understanding of his legal duty to certify (almost combative with one of the Republican witnesses who insisted they could make up their duties) - so I think it is a foregone conclusion that the vote will be 3-1.
It's just a matter of how much pain we have to go through before they take a vote.

(3,728 posts)I knew better than to even try. Too hard on my heart rate and anxiety level and it scares the cats when I start yelling. So I just stay away from such things. Thanks for hanging in there for the rest of us.
